< Romans 8 >
1 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
Enti, afɔbuo nni hɔ ma wɔn a wɔwɔ Kristo Yesu mu
2 For in Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set you free from the law of sin and death.
ɛfiri sɛ Honhom Kronkron no ama mo nkwa a ɛfiri Kristo Yesu nkyɛn, na agye mo afiri mmara a ɛde owuo ba.
3 For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful man, as an offering for sin. He thus condemned sin in the flesh,
Esiane ɔhonam mmerɛyɛ enti, Mose Mmara no antumi annye yɛn. Enti Onyankopɔn yɛɛ deɛ Mmara no antumi anyɛ. Ɔnam nʼankasa ne Ba a ɔsomaa no wɔ onipa bɔnesu so no ba bɛbɔɔ afɔdeɛ maa yɛn, na ɔbɛbuu bɔne atɛn de pepaa yɛn bɔne.
4 so that the righteous standard of the law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
Onyankopɔn yɛɛ yei, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a Kristo bɛyɛ Mmara no asɛdeɛ ama yɛn, yɛn a yɛnnante ɔhonam fam, na mmom yɛnante honhom mu no.
5 Those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh; but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit.
Wɔn a honam mmerɛyɛ hyɛ wɔn so no dwene bɔne nko ara ho. Wɔn a wɔnam Honhom mu no dwene Honhom deɛ.
6 The mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace,
Wɔn a wɔwɔ ɔhonam mmerɛyɛ adwene no bɛwu. Wɔn nso a wɔnam Honhom mu no bɛnya nkwa ne asomdwoeɛ.
7 because the mind of the flesh is hostile to God: It does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so.
Adwene a ɛdwene honam mu no tan Onyankopɔn, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛmmrɛ ne ho ase mma Onyankopɔn mmara; na mpo ɛrentumi.
8 Those controlled by the flesh cannot please God.
Wɔn a wɔdwene honam mu no rentumi nsɔ Onyankopɔn ani.
9 You, however, are controlled not by the flesh, but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ.
Sɛ Onyankopɔn Honhom te mo mu a, ɛnyɛ honam mmerɛyɛ na ɛdi mo so. Na sɛ obi nni Kristo Honhom a, ɔnyɛ Kristo dea.
10 But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, yet your spirit is alive because of righteousness.
Ɛwom sɛ bɔne bɛma mo nipadua yi awu deɛ, nanso sɛ Kristo te mo mu a, ne tenenee enti, mo honhom te ase.
11 And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit, who lives in you.
Sɛ Onyankopɔn Honhom a ɛnyanee Yesu firii awufoɔ mu no te mo mu a, ɛnneɛ deɛ ɔnyanee Kristo firii awufoɔ mu no nso nam ne Honhom a ɛwɔ mo mu no so bɛma mo nipadua a ɛwu yi nso nkwa.
12 Therefore, brothers, we have an obligation, but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it.
Enti anuanom, yɛwɔ asodie bi, nanso, yɛnyɛ mma honam no sɛdeɛ ɔpɛ.
13 For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
Sɛ motena ase ma ɔhonam a, mobɛwu. Nanso, sɛ moma Honhom no kum bɔne a nipadua no yɛ a, mobɛnya nkwa.
14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.
Wɔn a Onyankopɔn Honhom di wɔn so no yɛ Onyankopɔn mma.
15 For you did not receive a spirit of slavery that returns you to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!”
Ɛfiri sɛ, moannya honhom a ɛma mo yɛ nkoa bio ma ɔsuro, na mmom, moanya abayɛ Honhom na yɛnam ne so su sɛ, “Abba, Agya!”
16 The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.
Na Honhom no ankasa ne yɛn honhom di adanseɛ sɛ yɛyɛ Onyankopɔn mma.
17 And if we are children, then we are heirs: heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ—if indeed we suffer with Him, so that we may also be glorified with Him.
Esiane sɛ yɛyɛ Onyankopɔn mma enti, yɛyɛ adedifoɔ; Onyankopɔn adedifoɔ a yɛne Kristo wɔ kyɛfa wɔ mu, nanso gye sɛ yɛne no kyɛ nʼamanehunu ansa na yɛne no akyɛ nʼanimuonyam.
18 I consider that our present sufferings are not comparable to the glory that will be revealed in us.
Menim sɛ amanehunu a yɛrehunu no saa ɛberɛ yi nyɛ deɛ wɔdetoto animuonyam a wɔbɛhyɛ yɛn no ho.
19 The creation waits in eager expectation for the revelation of the sons of God.
Abɔdeɛ nyinaa de anigyina rehwɛ da a Onyankopɔn mma bɛda wɔn ho adi no ɛkwan.
20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not by its own will, but because of the One who subjected it, in hope
Ɛfiri sɛ, ɛberɛ a ɛmfiri abɔdeɛ pɛ mu no, wɔnam Onyankopɔn tumi mu buu abɔdeɛ fɔ sɛ ɛnnane ade hunu. Nanso na saa anidasoɔ yi wɔ hɔ
21 that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God.
sɛ, da bi abɔdeɛ no bɛde ne ho afiri nkoayɛ ne porɔeɛ mu na ɛne Onyankopɔn mma anya ahofadie mu animuonyam.
22 We know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until the present time.
Yɛnim sɛ ɛbɛsi saa ɛberɛ yi abɔdeɛ nyinaa pene sɛ ɔpemfoɔ a awoɔ aka no.
23 Not only that, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.
Nanso, ɛnyɛ abɔdeɛ nko, na yɛn a yɛwɔ Onyankopɔn Honhom sɛ Onyankopɔn akyɛdeɛ no nso si apinie ɛberɛ a yɛretwɛn sɛ Onyankopɔn de yɛn bɛyɛ ne mma. Yei kyerɛ sɛ yɛbɛde yɛn ho ɔhonam fam nso.
24 For in this hope we were saved; but hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he can already see?
Na wɔnam saa anidasoɔ yi so gyee yɛn nkwa. Sɛ yɛhunu deɛ yɛn ani da so no deɛ a, na ɛnyɛ anidasoɔ bio. Na hwan na nʼani tumi da adeɛ a ɔwɔ dada so.
25 But if we hope for what we do not yet see, we wait for it patiently.
Na sɛ yɛn ani da adeɛ a yɛn nsa nkaeɛ so a, yɛde boasetɔ twɛn.
26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know how we ought to pray, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groans too deep for words.
Saa ara na Honhom no boa yɛn wɔ yɛn mmerɛyɛ mu, ɛfiri sɛ, yɛnnim ɛkwan a wɔfa so bɔ mpaeɛ sɛdeɛ ɛsɛ. Honhom no ankasa de apinisie de nsɛm a ɛnni kabea di ma yɛn.
27 And He who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.
Onyankopɔn a ɔhunu nnipa akoma mu no nim Honhom no nsusuiɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, Honhom no nam Onyankopɔn pɛ so di ma Onyankopɔn mma wɔ nʼanim.
28 And we know that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose.
Yɛnim sɛ adeɛ nyinaa mu no Onyankopɔn di boa wɔn a wɔdɔ no ma ɛwie wɔn yie. Ɛdi boa wɔn a wɔnam nʼatirimpɔ so afrɛ wɔn.
29 For those God foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brothers.
Wɔn a Onyankopɔn ayi wɔn dada no, ɔde wɔn asi hɔ sɛ wɔnyɛ sɛ ne Ba no, na ne Ba no ayɛ anuanom pii mu abakan.
30 And those He predestined, He also called; those He called, He also justified; those He justified, He also glorified.
Onyankopɔn frɛɛ wɔn a ɔyii wɔn sii hɔ no, na wɔn a ɔyii wɔn no, ɔbuu wɔn bem. Na wɔn a ɔbuu wɔn bem no, ɔhyɛɛ wɔn animuonyam nso.
31 What then shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
Afei, ɛdeɛn na yɛbɛka afa yeinom ho? Onyankopɔn wɔ yɛn afa a, hwan na ɔne yɛn bɛdi asie?
32 He who did not spare His own Son but gave Him up for us all, how will He not also, along with Him, freely give us all things?
Deɛ wankame nʼankasa ne Ba, na mmom, yɛn nyinaa enti, ɔyii no maeɛ no, ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na ɔmfa adeɛ nyinaa nso nka ne ho mmɛdom yɛn?
33 Who will bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies.
Hwan na ɔbɛbu wɔn a Onyankopɔn ayi wɔn no atɛn? Onyankopɔn nko na ɔbu bem.
34 Who is there to condemn us? For Christ Jesus, who died, and more than that was raised to life, is at the right hand of God—and He is interceding for us.
Hwan na ɔbu fɔ? Kristo Yesu ne deɛ ɔwuiɛ na wɔnyanee no na ɔte Onyankopɔn nifa so di ma yɛn Onyankopɔn anim no.
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?
Hwan na ɔbɛtumi atete ɔdɔ a ɛda yɛne Kristo ntam no mu? Ahohia anaa ahometeɛ anaa ɔtaa anaa ɛkɔm anaa adagya anaa amanenya anaa owuo na ɛbɛtumi atete ɔdɔ a ɛda yɛne Kristo ntam no mu no anaa?
36 As it is written: “For Your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”
Dabi! Wɔatwerɛ sɛ, “Wo enti, wɔkum yɛn daa nyinaa; wɔbu yɛn sɛ nnwan a wɔrekɔkum wɔn.”
37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.
Nanso, yeinom nyinaa mu no, yɛnam deɛ ɔdɔɔ yɛn no so di nkonim boro so.
38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor principalities, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,
Megye medi ampa sɛ owuo anaa nkwa anaa abɔfoɔ anaa atumfoɔ anaa nneɛma a ɛwɔ hɔ anaa nneɛma a ɛrebɛba anaa tumi
39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
anaa ɔsoro anaa ɛfam anaa abɔdeɛ foforɔ biara rentumi ntete yɛne Onyankopɔn dɔ a ɛwɔ Kristo Yesu, yɛn Awurade, mu no mu da.
