Philippians 4
1 So stand firm in the Lord, my dear friends who mean so much to me, who make me so happy! To me you are my crowning achievement! I truly love you and long to see you!
Enti anuanom, medɔ mo na mʼani agyina mo. Moama me ho asan me enti me nso mede mo hoahoa me ho. Adɔfonom, saa na ɛsɛ sɛ mugyina pintinn wɔ Awurade mu.
2 Euodia and Syntyche—I urge you to resolve your differences with each other and agree in the Lord.
Euodia ne Sintike, mesrɛ mo, montena ase sɛ anuanom wɔ Awurade mu.
3 In fact, my faithful fellow-worker, let me ask you to help these women, for they worked together with me to spread the good news—as well as Clement and my other co-workers, whose names are recorded in the book of life.
Na wo nso a woka me ho a migye wo di no mepɛ sɛ woboa saa mmea yi, efisɛ wɔde wɔn ahoɔden nyinaa aboa me ama Asɛmpa no mu atrɛw a Klemens ne mʼahokafo bi a wɔn din hyɛ Onyankopɔn nkwa nhoma no mu no nso ka ho.
4 Always be happy in the Lord—I repeat, Be happy!
Meka ti mu se, daa munnya ahosɛpɛw wɔ Awurade mu; mo ho nsɛpɛw mo.
5 Everyone should know about your kindness. The Lord will soon be here.
Mommrɛ mo ho ase mma nnipa nyinaa. Ɛrenkyɛ Awurade bɛba.
6 Don't worry about anything, but take everything to God in prayer, explaining your requests to him and thanking him for all he does.
Mommma biribiara nhaw mo. Daa mo nkotosrɛ ne aseda mpaebɔ nyinaa mu no, momma mo adesrɛ nnu Onyankopɔn anim.
7 Then the peace that comes from God, which is better than we can ever imagine, will protect your thoughts and attitudes in Christ Jesus.
Na Onyankopɔn asomdwoe a ɛtra ade nyinaa so no bɛhwɛ mo koma ne mo adwene so wɔ Kristo Yesu mu.
8 Lastly, whatever is true, honorable, right, pure, beautiful, commendable, whatever is truly good and deserves to be praised, think about these kinds of things.
Anuanom, asɛm a mede rewie ne sɛ nea ɛyɛ nokware, nea ɛwɔ anuonyam, nea ɛteɛ, nea ɛho tew, nea ɛwɔ ɔdɔ, nea ɛwɔ din pa, sɛ ɔbra pa bi wɔ hɔ a, sɛ ayeyi bi wɔ hɔ a, saa nneɛma yi ho na munnwen.
9 Put into practice what you learned and received from me, what you saw me doing and heard me say. Then the God of peace will be with you.
Nea moasua, na moanya afi me nkyɛn wɔ nsɛm ne nneyɛe mu no na monyɛ. Na Onyankopɔn a ɔma yɛn asomdwoe no bɛka mo ho.
10 I'm so happy in the Lord that you've at last thought about me again—realizing that you were concerned about me before but you couldn't do anything about it.
Mʼani gye wɔ Awurade mu sɛ afei de moakyerɛ ɔdɔ a mode dɔ me. Ɛyɛ nokware sɛ modɔ me de, nanso na munnya ho kwan nkyerɛ saa.
11 I'm not talking about my own needs, because I've already learned to be satisfied in whatever situation I find myself.
Menka saa asɛm yi nkyerɛ sɛ ahia me efisɛ me suahu nti, tebea biara a mekɔ mu no nhaw me.
12 I'm used to having nothing, and I've experienced having plenty too. In every possible situation I've learned the secret of dealing with having plenty and going hungry, of being rich and of living in poverty:
Minim ohia, nim ahonya; masua saa ahintasɛm yi, enti baabiara ne bere biara, sɛ ɔkɔm de me anaa mamee, sɛ mewɔ bebree anaa kakraa bi no, mepɛ no saa ara.
13 I can do anything through him who makes me strong!
Ahoɔden a Kristo de ma me no nti mitumi gyina tebea biara ano.
14 Even so it was good of you to share with me during my troubles.
Eye sɛ moboaa me wɔ mʼamanehunu mu.
15 You Philippians remember that right at the beginning of sharing the good news, when I left Macedonia, that yours was the only church that helped me financially.
Mo Filipifo no ankasa nim pefee sɛ bere a mifii Makedonia a na merefi 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 ahonyade.
16 Even when I was in Thessalonica you helped me out not once but twice.
Mewɔ Tesalonika no, bere biara a biribi ho behia me no, mode brɛ me.
17 Not that I'm looking for a donation—I'm looking for your “account” to increase in “profit.”
Ɛnyɛ sɛ ɔpɛ na na mepɛ sɛ minya akyɛde na mmom, nhyira a mubenya wɔ mu na na mepɛ sɛ mihu.
18 For I have everything, more than I need! I'm thankful to receive from Epaphroditus the things you sent. They're like a sweet-smelling sacrifice that pleases God and that he approves of.
Me nsa aka biribiara a mode abrɛ me ma aboro so. Afei a Epafrodito de akyɛde no nyinaa abrɛ me yi, me nsa aka biribiara a ɛho hia me. Eyinom te sɛ afɔre huamhuam a wɔbɔ ma Onyankopɔn, na ogye, na nʼani sɔ no.
19 My God will fill you with everything you need in accordance with his glorious wealth in Christ Jesus!
Me Nyankopɔn fi ne nnepa a ɔwɔ wɔ Kristo Yesu mu bɛma mo nea ehia mo nyinaa.
Anuonyam nka yɛn Agya Nyankopɔn daa daa. Amen. (aiōn g165)
21 Greet every fellow-believer in Christ Jesus. The Christian brothers and sisters with me send their greetings.
Mikyia ahotefo no wɔ Kristo Yesu mu. Anuanom a wɔne me wɔ ha no nso kyia mo.
22 All the believers send you greetings, especially those from Caesar's palace.
Ahotefo no nyinaa kyia mo; ne titiriw no, Ɔhempɔn Kaesare fifo.
23 May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
Awurade Yesu Kristo adom nka mo nyinaa. Amen.
