2 Corinthians 11
1 I hope you can put up with a little more foolishness from me—well you already do put up with me!
Mewɔ anidaso sɛ, sɛ meyɛ nkwaseade koraa a mubegye me. Mepa mo kyɛw, monyɛ saa.
2 I agonize over you with a divine kind of jealousy, for I promised you to a single husband—Christ—so that I could present you as a pure virgin to him.
Metwe mo ho ninkunu sɛnea Onyankopɔn twe mo ho ninkunu no. Mote sɛ ɔbabun a mahyɛ ɔbarima baako pɛ bi a ɔno ne Kristo no bɔ sɛ mede mo bɛma no aware.
3 I worry that in some way, just as the serpent deceived Eve with his devious cunning, that you might be led astray in your thinking from your sincere and pure commitment to Christ.
Misuro sɛ wɔbɛsɛe mo adwene na mo a mode mo ho nyinaa ama Kristo no, mubegyae sɛnea ɔwɔ no nam anifere so daadaa Hawa no.
4 If anyone comes and tells you about a different Jesus to the one we shared with you, you easily go along with them, accepting a different spirit to the one you received, and a different kind of good news to the one you believed.
Mode anigye gye obiara a ɔba mo nkyɛn bɛka Yesu foforo a ɔnyɛ nea yɛka ne ho asɛm kyerɛ mo no di; mugye honhom bi ne asɛmpa bi a nsonoe da ɛno ne Honhom ne Asɛmpa a yɛka kyerɛ mo no ntam no di.
5 I don't believe I'm inferior to these “super-apostles.”
Minnye nni sɛ meyɛ “Asomafo” no mu abomfiaa.
6 Even though I may not be skilled in giving speeches, I do know what I'm talking about. We have made this absolutely clear to you in every way.
Ebia mʼano ntew de, nanso mʼadwene mu abue. Yɛnam akwannuasa so akyerɛ mo eyi ase fann.
7 Was it wrong of me to humble myself so you could be elevated, since I shared the good news with you at no charge?
Mebɛkaa Onyankopɔn Asɛmpa no kyerɛɛ mo no, mannye mo hwee. Mebrɛɛ me ho ase sɛnea ɛbɛma mo akrɔn. So bɔne a meyɛɛ ne sɛ meyɛɛ saa ana?
8 I robbed as it were other churches, taking pay from them so I could work for you.
Bere a na mereyɛ mo mu adwuma no, asafo afoforo bi na na wotua me ka.
9 When I was there with you and needed something, I wasn't a burden to anyone because the believers who came from Macedonia took care of my needs. I was determined never to be a burden to you and I never shall.
Bere a na mewɔ mo nkyɛn no, sɛ sika ho hia me a, na menhaw mo. Na anuanom a wɔte Makedonia no de biribiara a ɛho hia me brɛ me. Sɛnea na ɛte mmere a atwa mu no, saa ara nso na daakye ɛbɛyɛ. Merenyɛ adesoa mma mo da.
10 This is as certain as the truth of Christ that is in me: nobody in all Achaia will stop me boasting about this!
Kristo nokwaredi a ahyɛ me ma nti, mehyɛ mo bɔ sɛ obiara rentumi nka mʼahohoahoa yi nhyɛ wɔ Helaman mu da.
11 And why? Because I don't love you? God knows that I do!
Adɛn nti na meka saa? Efisɛ mennɔ mo ana? Onyankopɔn nim sɛ medɔ mo.
12 I'll continue to do what I've always done, so as to remove any opportunity for those who want to boast that their work is the same as ours.
Mɛkɔ so adi dwuma a meredi no mprempren yi sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a saa “asomafo” no rennya kwan nhoahoa wɔn ho sɛ dwuma a wodi no te sɛ yɛn dwuma a yedi no ara pɛ.
13 These people are false apostles, dishonest workers, who pretend to be apostles of Christ.
Saa nnipa no nyɛ nokware asomafo. Wɔyɛ atoro asomafo a wɔnam twa atoro wɔ wɔn adwuma ho ma nnipa hu wɔn sɛ wɔyɛ Kristo asomafo.
14 Don't be surprised at this for even Satan himself pretends to be an angel of light.
Ɛnyɛ me nwonwa, efisɛ ɔbonsam koraa tumi sesa ne ho ma ɔdan yɛ sɛ hann.
15 So it's no wonder then if those who serve him pretend to be agents of good. But their final end will be in accordance with what they've done.
Enti ɛnyɛ nwonwa sɛ nʼasomfo tumi sesa wɔn ho de daadaa nnipa sɛ wɔyɛ papa. Awiei no, wobenya wɔn nneyɛe so akatua pɛpɛɛpɛ.
16 Let me say it again: please don't think I'm being foolish. However, even if you do, accept me as someone who is foolish, and let me also boast a little.
Miti mu ka bio se: Ɛnsɛ sɛ obiara susuw sɛ meyɛ ɔkwasea. Sɛ mususuw saa a, ɛno de munnye me sɛnea mubegye ɔkwasea na menam so atumi ahoahoa me ho.
17 What I'm saying is not as the Lord would say it—all this foolish boasting.
Asɛm a mereka yi nyɛ nea Awurade pɛ sɛ meka. Meka ahohoahoa ho asɛm a, na mekasa sɛ ɔkwasea.
18 But since many others are boasting in the way the world does, let me boast too.
Nanso esiane sɛ nnipa bebree hoahoa wɔn ho wɔ nipasu mu nti, me nso mɛyɛ saa.
19 (You're happy to put up with fools, since you are so wise!)
Mo ankasa mo ani atew nti mode anigye gye nkwaseafo.
20 You put up with people who make you slaves, who take what you have, who exploit you, who arrogantly put you down, who hit you in the face.
Mugye obi a ɔhyɛ mo so anaa nea onya mo ho biribi anaa nea osum mo afiri anaa nea ommu mo anaa nea ɔbɔ mo ani so.
21 I'm so sorry that we were too weak to do anything like that! But whatever people dare to boast about, I dare to do too. (Here I'm talking like a fool again.)
Mede fɛre gye eyi to mu sɛ yɛyɛ mmerɛw dodo wɔ eyi mu. Sɛ obi gye kyim de biribi hoahoa ne ho a, merekasa sɛ ɔkwasea, me nso megye kyim ahoahoa me ho wɔ dekode no ho bi.
22 Are they Hebrews? Me too. Are they Israelites? Me too. Are they descendants of Abraham? Me too.
Wɔyɛ Hebrifo ana? Me nso meyɛ bi. Wɔyɛ Israelfo ana? Me nso meyɛ bi. Wɔyɛ Abraham asefo ana? Me nso meyɛ bi.
23 Are they servants of Christ? (I know I'll sound like I'm crazy, talking like this.) But I have done so much more. I've worked harder, been imprisoned more often, whipped more times than I can count, faced death time and again.
Wɔyɛ Kristo asomfo ana? Merekasa sɛ ɔbɔdamfo. Nanso meyɛ ɔsomfo pa sen wɔn. Mayɛ adwuma a ɛyɛ den sen wɔn; mada afiase mpɛn bebree; wɔabɔ me mmaa bebree na metaa mebɛn owu nso.
24 Five times I received from the Jews the forty lashes less one.
Yudafo bɔɔ me mmaa aduasa akron ahorow anum.
25 Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I was shipwrecked. Once I spent twenty-four hours adrift on the ocean.
Romafo bɔɔ me mmaa mprɛnsa na wosiw me abo pɛnkoro. Metenaa ahyɛn mu ma ɛbɔɔ mprɛnsa. Madi asu ase nnɔnhwerew aduonu anan pɛn.
26 During my many journeys I have faced the dangers of crossing rivers, robber gangs, attacks from my own countrymen, as well as from foreigners. I have faced danger in cities, in the deserts, and on the sea. I have faced the danger of people who pretend to be Christians.
Mʼakwantu ahorow mu no, mihyiaa nsuyiri ne akwamukafo. Mihuu amane wɔ Yudafo ne amanamanmufo nsam. Mihuu nkurow so amane. Mihuu wuram amane. Mihuu po so amane ne nnamfo a wɔnka nokware nsam amane.
27 I have faced hard labor and struggles, many sleepless nights, hungry and thirsty, often going without food, cold, without enough clothing to keep warm.
Mayɛ adwuma a ɛyɛ den na ɔbrɛ wɔ mu. Mpɛn pii menna. Ɔkɔm ne osukɔm dee me. Mpɛn pii minnya aduan a ɛbɛso me nni. Minnya baabi nna anaa atade nhyɛ.
28 Besides all this, I face the daily concerns of dealing with all the churches.
Bere biara na mema asafo ahorow no ho nsɛm yɛ me nsɛnhia.
29 Who is weak, and I don't feel weak too? Who is led into sin, and I don't burn up?
Sɛ obi yɛ mmerɛw a ɛma me nso meyɛ mmerɛw. Sɛ obi ka ɔfoforo kɔ bɔne mu a ɛma me werɛ how.
30 If I have to boast, I will boast about how weak I am.
Sɛ mehoahoa me ho a, na ɛsɛ sɛ mehoahoa me ho wɔ nneɛma a ɛkyerɛ me mmerɛwyɛ no mu.
Awurade Yesu no, Onyankopɔn ne Agya no a ɛsɛ sɛ yɛkamfo no no nim sɛ merentwa nkontompo. (aiōn g165)
32 While I was in Damascus, the governor under King Aretas had the city guarded in order to capture me.
Bere a mewɔ Damasko no, Amrado a na ɔhyɛ Ɔhene Areta ase no maa awɛmfo wɛn kurow no pon pɛɛ sɛ wɔkyere me.
33 But I was lowered in a basket from a window in the city wall, and so I escaped from him.
Nanso wɔde me sii kɛntɛn mu twetwee me faa ɔfasu bi a apae tokuru mu de me sii fam ma miguan fii ne nsam.
