Philippians 4
1 Therefore, my brothers, whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, that is how you must stand firm in the Lord, my beloved.
Enti, anuanom, medɔ mo na mʼani agyina mo. Moama me ho asane me enti me nso mede mo hoahoa me ho. Adɔfonom, saa na ɛsɛ sɛ mogyina pintinn wɔ Awurade mu.
2 I urge Euodia and Syntyche to agree with each other in the Lord.
Euodia ne Sintike, mesrɛ mo, montena ase sɛ anuanom wɔ Awurade mu.
3 Yes, and I ask you, my true yokefellow, to help these women who have labored with me for the gospel, along with Clement and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the Book of Life.
Na wo nso a woka me ho a megye wo di no, mepɛ sɛ woboa saa mmaa yi, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔde wɔn ahoɔden nyinaa aboa me ama Asɛmpa no mu atrɛ a Klemens ne mʼahokafoɔ bi a wɔn din hyɛ Onyankopɔn nkwa nwoma no mu no nso ka ho.
4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!
Meka ti mu bio sɛ daa monnya ahosɛpɛ wɔ Awurade mu; mo ho nsɛpɛ mo.
5 Let your gentleness be apparent to all. The Lord is near.
Mommrɛ mo ho ase mma nnipa nyinaa. Ɛrenkyɛre, Awurade bɛba.
6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
Mommma biribiara nha mo. Daa, mo nkotosrɛ ne aseda mpaeɛbɔ nyinaa mu no, momma mo adesrɛ nnuru Onyankopɔn anim.
7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Na Onyankopɔn asomdwoeɛ a ɛtra adeɛ nyinaa so no bɛhwɛ mo akoma ne mo adwene so wɔ Kristo Yesu mu.
8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think on these things.
Anuanom, asɛm a mede rewie ne sɛ, deɛ ɛyɛ nokorɛ, deɛ ɛwɔ animuonyam, deɛ ɛtene, deɛ ɛho teɛ, deɛ ɛwɔ ɔdɔ, deɛ ɛwɔ din pa, sɛ ɔbra pa bi wɔ hɔ a, sɛ ayɛyie bi wɔ hɔ a, saa nneɛma yi ho na monnwene.
9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me, put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
Deɛ moasua na moanya afiri me nkyɛn wɔ nsɛm ne nneyɛeɛ mu no na monyɛ. Na Onyankopɔn a ɔma yɛn asomdwoeɛ no bɛka mo ho.
10 Now I rejoice greatly in the Lord that at last you have revived your concern for me. You were indeed concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it.
Mʼani gye wɔ Awurade mu sɛ afei deɛ moakyerɛ ɔdɔ a mode dɔ me. Ɛyɛ nokorɛ sɛ modɔ me deɛ, nanso na monnya ho ɛkwan nkyerɛ saa.
11 I am not saying this out of need, for I have learned to be content regardless of my circumstances.
Menka saa asɛm yi nkyerɛ sɛ ahia me, ɛfiri sɛ, me suahunu enti tebea biara a mekɔ mu no, ɛnha me.
12 I know how to live humbly, and I know how to abound. I am accustomed to any and every situation—to being filled and being hungry, to having plenty and having need.
Menim ohia, nim ahonya, Masua saa ahintasɛm yi enti baabiara ne ɛberɛ biara, sɛ ɛkɔm de me anaa mamee, sɛ mewɔ bebree anaa kakra bi no, mepɛ no saa ara.
13 I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.
Ahoɔden a Kristo de ma me no enti, metumi gyina tebea biara ano.
14 Nevertheless, you have done well to share in my affliction.
Ɛyɛ sɛ moboaa me wɔ mʼamanehunu mu.
15 And as you Philippians know, in the early days of the gospel, when I left Macedonia, no church but you partnered with me in the matter of giving and receiving.
Mo Filipifoɔ no ankasa nim pefee sɛ ɛberɛ a mefirii Makedonia a na merefiti Asɛmpa no ka no ase no, mo nko ara ne asafo a moboaa me. Mo nko ara ne asafo a mo ne me kyɛɛ mo ahonyadeɛ.
16 For even while I was in Thessalonica, you provided for my needs again and again.
Mewɔ Tesalonika no, ɛberɛ biara a biribi ho bɛhia me no, mode brɛ me.
17 Not that I am seeking a gift, but I am looking for the fruit that may be credited to your account.
Ɛnyɛ sɛ ɔpɛ na na mepɛ sɛ menya akyɛdeɛ na mmom, nhyira a mobɛnya wɔ mu na na mepɛ sɛ mehunu.
18 I have all I need and more, now that I have received your gifts from Epaphroditus. They are a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, well-pleasing to God.
Me nsa aka biribiara a mode abrɛ me ma aboro so. Afei a Epafrodito de akyɛdeɛ no nyinaa abrɛ me yi, me nsa aka biribiara a ɛho hia me. Yeinom te sɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ hwamhwam a wɔbɔ ma Onyankopɔn, na ɔgye, na nʼani sɔ.
19 And my God will supply all your needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus.
Me Onyankopɔn firi ne nnepa a ɔwɔ wɔ Kristo Yesu mu bɛma mo deɛ ɛhia mo nyinaa.
Animuonyam nka yɛn Agya Onyankopɔn daa daa. Amen. (aiōn g165)
21 Greet all the saints in Christ Jesus. The brothers who are with me send you greetings.
Mekyea ahotefoɔ no wɔ Kristo Yesu mu. Anuanom a wɔne me wɔ ha no nso kyea mo.
22 All the saints send you greetings, especially those from the household of Caesar.
Ahotefoɔ no nyinaa kyea mo; ne titire no, Ɔhempɔn Kaesare fiefoɔ.
23 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
Awurade Yesu Kristo adom nka mo nyinaa.
