1 Corinthians 16

1 Now concerning the collections that are made for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, so do ye also.

Azɔ la, se siwo le ga si dzɔm miele be yewoaɖo ɖe kristotɔ siwo le Yerusalem ŋu la woe nye esiawo. Se siawo ke mede na hame siwo le Galatia.

2 On the first day of the week let every one of you put apart with himself, laying up what it shall well please him; that when I come, the collections be not then to be made.

Le Kɔsiɖa ɖe sia ɖe gbe la, ele be mia dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe natsɔ ga si wòkpɔ le kɔsiɖa me la ƒe akpa aɖe adzra ɖo, eye wòawɔ eŋu dɔ na nunana sia. Ga home la ku ɖe home si Aƒetɔ la kpe ɖe amea ŋu wòkpɔ la ŋu. Migalala va se ɖe esime mava afi ma hafi miadze agbagba be yewoadzɔ ga home la katã zi ɖeka o.

3 And when I shall be with you, whomsoever you shall approve by letters, them will I send to carry your grace to Jerusalem.

Ne meva la, maŋlɔ agbalẽ akpe ɖe miaƒe lɔlɔ̃ ƒe nunana la ŋu aɖo ɖe Yerusalem to dɔla nuteƒewɔla aɖe si miawo ŋutɔ miatia la dzi.

4 And if it be meet that I also go, they shall go with me.

Eye ne anyo be nye hã mayi kplii la, ekema míate ŋu azɔ afɔ ɖekae.

5 Now I will come to you, when I shall have passed through Macedonia. For I shall pass through Macedonia.

Mayi Makedonia gbã hafi ava kpɔ mi ɖa, ke manɔ afi ma ɣeyiɣi kpui aɖe ko.

6 And with you perhaps I shall abide, or even spend the winter: that you may bring me on my way whithersoever I shall go.

Ate ŋu ava eme be manɔ miawo gbɔ wòadidi wu, ɖewohĩ le vuvɔŋɔli blibo la katã me, eye miado mɔm mayi teƒe bubu.

7 For I will not see you now by the way, for I trust that I shall abide with you some time, if the Lord permit.

Nyemegadi azɔ be makpɔ mi ɖa ɣeyiɣi kpui aɖe ko eye matso eme o. Medi be mava nɔ anyi sẽe ne Aƒetɔ la aɖe mɔ nam.

8 But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost.

Manɔ Efeso le afi sia va se ɖe Pentekoste ƒe ŋkekenyui la dzi,

9 For a great door and evident is opened unto me: and many adversaries.

elabena mɔnukpɔkpɔ tɔxɛ aɖe li nam be magblɔ mawunya eye mafia nu le afi sia. Mɔnukpɔkpɔ geɖewo li, ke futɔwo hã sɔ gbɔ.

10 Now if Timothy come, see that he be with you without fear, for he worketh the work of the Lord, as I also do.

Ne Timoteo va la, mina eƒe mo nadze anyi, elabena ele Aƒetɔ la ƒe dɔ wɔm abe nye ke ene.

11 Let no man therefore despise him, but conduct ye him on his way in peace: that he may come to me. For I look for him with the brethren.

Migana ame aɖeke nado vloe alo agbe toɖoɖoe o, ke mina wòakpɔ dzidzɔ le ɣeyiɣi si wòanɔ mia dome la me, eye miaɖoe ɖem le ŋutifafa me. Mele mɔ kpɔm be makpɔ eya kple nɔvi bubu siwo trɔ gbɔna la kaba.

12 And touching our brother Apollo, I give you to understand, that I much entreated him to come unto you with the brethren: and indeed it was not his will at all to come at this time. But he will come when he shall have leisure.

Meɖe kuku na mía nɔvi Apolo be eya kple nɔvia bubuwo nava kpɔ mi ɖa, ke ebu be menye Mawu ƒe ɖoɖo wònye na ye be yeayi fifia o. Ava mia gbɔ emegbe ne mɔnu aɖe ʋu nɛ.

13 Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, do manfully, and be strengthened.

Minɔ ŋudzɔ, minɔ tsitre le xɔse me. Minɔ agbe abe kalẽtɔwo ene, eye misẽ ŋu.

14 Let all your things be done in charity.

Nu sia nu si miawɔ la, miwɔe kple amenuveve kple lɔlɔ̃.

15 And I beseech you, brethren, you know the house of Stephanas, and of Fortunatus, and of Achaicus, that they are the firstfruits of Achaia, and have dedicated themselves to the ministry of the saints:

Mele nu xlɔ̃m mi, nɔviwo. Mieɖoa ŋku Stefano kple eƒe ƒomea dzia? Woawoe nye ame gbãtɔ siwo zu kristotɔwo le Akaya eye wole kpekpeɖeŋu geɖe nam kristotɔwo le afi sia afi.

16 That you also be subject to such, and to every one that worketh with us, and laboureth.

Miwɔ nu siwo woaɖo na mi, eye miwɔ nu sia nu si miate ŋui la be miakpe ɖe wo kple ame bubu siwo katã tsɔ wo ɖokuiwo sa vɔe abe woawo ke ene, eye wowɔa dɔ sesĩe le mia dome la ŋu.

17 And I rejoice in the presence of Stephanas, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus, because that which was wanting on your part, they have supplied.

Mekpɔ dzidzɔ ŋutɔ be Stefano, Fortunatus kple Akaiko va ɖo mía gbɔ be yewoakpɔ mí ɖa. Wole kpekpeɖeŋudɔ siwo miele afi sia awɔ nam o la wɔm nam ɖe mia teƒe.

18 For they have refreshed both my spirit and yours. Know them, therefore, that are such.

Wodo dzidzɔ geɖe nam, eye wode dzi ƒo nam ŋutɔ. Meka ɖe edzi be nenema ke wowɔ na miawo hã. Mexɔe se be miekpɔ ŋudzedze le ame siawo kple ame bubu siwo le abe woawo ke ene la ƒe dɔwɔwɔ ŋu.

19 The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house, with whom I also lodge.

Hame siwo le Asia afi sia la do gbe na mi. Akwila kple Priskila kple ame bubu siwo katã kpea ta le woƒe aƒe me hena sɔlemedede la hã do gbe na mi le Aƒetɔ la me.

20 All the brethren salute you. Salute one another with a holy kiss.

Nɔvi siwo katã le afi sia la bia tso asinye be mado gbe na mi na yewo. Mido gbe na mia nɔewo kple lɔlɔ̃ si dze la ne miedo go.

21 The salutation of me Paul, with my own hand.

Nye Paulo, meŋlɔ agbalẽ sia ƒe nya mamlɛtɔwo kple nye ŋutɔ nye asi.

22 If any man love not our Lord Jesus Christ, let him be anathema, maranatha.

Ame sia ame si melɔ̃a Aƒetɔ la o la, woaƒo fi adee. Aƒetɔ Yesu va!

23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

Aƒetɔ Yesu Kristo ƒe lɔlɔ̃ kple amenuveve nanɔ anyi kpli mi katã.

24 My charity be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.

Metsɔ nye lɔlɔ̃ na mi katã le Kristo Yesu me. Amen.
