1 Corinthians 3
1 My brothers and sisters, I couldn't talk with you as spiritual believers, but as worldly people—like baby Christians.
Nokware, anuanom, mantumi ankasa ankyerɛ mo sɛ nnipa a wɔwɔ Honhom no. Na ɛsɛ sɛ mekasa kyerɛ mo sɛ wiasefo a wɔte sɛ mmofra a wɔwɔ Kristo mu gyidi.
2 I gave you milk—I couldn't give you solid food to eat, because you weren't ready for it.
Memaa mo nufusu. Mamma mo aduan a ɛyɛ den, efisɛ na enye mma mo. Na mprempren ara mpo enye mma mo,
3 Even now you're not ready for it, because you're still worldly. Since you're still jealous and argumentative, doesn't that show you're worldly, behaving just like ordinary people do?
efisɛ moda so te hɔ sɛ wiasefo. Sɛ anibere wɔ mo mu na mutwa mo ho ne mo ho mo ho nya akasakasa a, so ɛnna no adi sɛ moyɛ wiasefo a mote hɔ ma wiase?
4 When one of you says, “I follow Paul,” while another says, “I follow Apollos,” doesn't that show you're being so very human?
Sɛ obi ka se, “Me de, midi Paulo akyi” na ɔfoforo nso ka se, “Me nso mewɔ Apolo afa” a, ɛnkyerɛ sɛ moyɛ wiasefo ana?
5 Who is Apollos, anyway? And who is Paul? We're just servants through whom you believed. Each of us does the work God gave us to do.
Mibisa se Apolo yɛ hena? Na Paulo nso yɛ hena? Yɛyɛ Onyankopɔn asomfo kwa a ɛnam yɛn so na munya gyidi. Adwuma a Onyankopɔn de ama yɛn mu biara sɛ yɛnyɛ no na yɛyɛ.
6 I did the planting, Apollos did the watering—but it was God who made you grow!
Miduaa aba no na Apolo guguu so nsu, nanso Onyankopɔn na ɔmaa afifide no nyinii.
7 So the one who does the planting doesn't count for anything, any more than the one who does the watering. The only one who matters is God who is growing you!
Obi a oduae ne obi a oguguu so nsu no ho nhia. Onyankopɔn na ne ho hia, efisɛ ɔno na ɔmaa afifide no nyinii.
8 The one planting and the one watering have the same goal, and both will be rewarded according to what they've done.
Nsonoe biara nni onipa a odua ne nea ogugu so nsu no ntam. Onyankopɔn bɛhwɛ dwuma a wɔn mu biara dii so na wama wɔn so ade.
9 We are workers together with God—and you are God's field, his building.
Yɛn de, yɛyɛ aboafo a yɛne Onyankopɔn reyɛ adwuma na mo nso moyɛ Onyankopɔn afuw. Bio, moyɛ Onyankopɔn dan.
10 Through the grace of God that he gave to me, I laid down the foundation like a skilled building supervisor. Now someone else is building on it. Whoever does the building needs to watch what they're doing.
Menam adom a Onyankopɔn de maa me no so yɛɛ ɔdanseni pa adwuma. Metoo fapem na onipa foforo nso resi atoa so. Nanso ɛsɛ sɛ wɔn mu biara fa ɔkwan pa so si.
11 For no one can lay any other foundation than what's already laid—that is Jesus Christ.
Efisɛ Onyankopɔn ayɛ Yesu Kristo nko ɔdan no fapem enti wɔrentumi nto fapem foforo biara bio.
12 Those who build on that foundation may use gold, silver, precious stone, wood, hay, or straw—
Ebinom de sikakɔkɔɔ, anaa dwetɛ anaa aboɔden abo na ebesi wɔn dan wɔ fapem no so; afoforo nso de nnua anaa sare anaa baamu.
13 but whatever is used to build with will be exposed. For on the Day of Judgment fire will reveal it and test it. Everyone's work will be shown for what it is.
Obiara dwuma a odii no bɛda adi da no; da no gya no bɛda obiara adwuma adi. Ogya no bɛsɔ ahwɛ, ahu dwuma ko no ye a eye.
14 Those whose building survives will be rewarded.
Sɛ nea onipa ko no de sii fapem no so no tumi gyina ogya no ano a, ebenya akatua.
15 Those whose building is burned up will lose out. They will still be saved, but it will be like passing through fire!
Na sɛ obi adwuma hyew wɔ ogya no ano a, akatua no bɛbɔ no, nanso ɔno de, obenya nkwa sɛ obi a waguan afi gyaframa mu.
16 Don't you know you are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you?
Munnim sɛ moyɛ Onyankopɔn asɔredan na Onyankopɔn Honhom no te mo mu ana?
17 Anyone who destroys God's temple will be destroyed by God, for God's temple is holy, and you are the temple.
Enti obiara a ɔbɛsɛe Onyankopɔn asɔredan no, Onyankopɔn bɛsɛe no. Efisɛ Onyankopɔn asɔredan yɛ kronkron, na mo na moyɛ nʼasɔredan no.
18 Don't deceive yourselves. If there's anyone of you who thinks they're worldly wise, they should become fools so they can become truly wise! (aiōn g165)
Ɛnsɛ sɛ obiara daadaa ne ho. Sɛ obi a ɔka mo ho fa ne ho sɛ ɔyɛ wiase yi mu onyansafo a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔyɛ ɔkwasea ansa na wabɛyɛ onyansafo. (aiōn g165)
19 This world's wisdom is plain foolishness to God. As Scripture says, “He uses the cleverness of the wise to catch them out,”
Efisɛ nea wiase bu no nyansa no yɛ asɛm a aba nni mu wɔ Onyankopɔn ani so. Kyerɛwsɛm no ka se, “Ɔkyere anyansafo wɔ wɔn anitew mu.”
20 and “The Lord knows the arguments of the wise are pointless.”
Bio, Kyerɛwsɛm no ka se, “Awurade nim onipa nsusuwii. Onim sɛ enkosi hwee.”
21 So don't boast about people. For you have everything,
Enti ɛnsɛ sɛ obiara de nea onipa tumi yɛ hoahoa ne ho na biribiara yɛ mo dea.
22 whether it's Paul or Apollos or Peter—or the world, or life, or death, or the present, or the future. You have everything—
Paulo, Apolo ne Petro, saa wiase yi, nkwa ne owu, nnɛ ne daakye nyinaa yɛ mo dea,
23 and you are Christ's, and Christ is God's.
na moyɛ Kristo dea na Kristo nso yɛ Onyankopɔn dea.
