2 Corinthians 6

1 So we therefore as workers together beseech you, that ye receiue not the grace of God in vaine.

Anuanom a yɛne Onyankopɔn bɔ mu yɛ adwuma, yɛsrɛ mo sɛ Onyankopɔn adom a mo nsa aka no, munnnye no kwa.

2 For he sayth, I haue heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of saluation haue I succoured thee: beholde nowe the accepted time, beholde nowe the day of saluation.

Onyankopɔn se, “Bere a ɛsɛ mu no, mebua wo, na nkwagye da no, mɛboa wo.” Muntie! Dɔnhwerew yi mu na ɛsɛ sɛ munya Onyankopɔn adom, na nnɛ ne nkwagye da no.

3 We giue no occasion of offence in any thing, that our ministerie shoulde not be reprehended.

Yɛmpɛ sɛ obiara benya yɛn adwuma ho asɛmmɔne aka, enti yɛmpɛ sɛ yɛde hintidua to obiara kwan mu.

4 But in all things we approue our selues as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,

Biribiara a yɛbɛyɛ no, ɛsɛ sɛ yɛda yɛn ho adi sɛ Onyankopɔn nkoa na yɛde boasetɔ tumi gyina ɔhaw ne amane nyinaa ano.

5 In stripes, in prisons, in tumults, in labours,

Wɔahwe yɛn, wɔde yɛn ato afiase, dɔm baa yɛn so, wɔama yɛayɛ adwuma a ɛboro yɛn so, yɛasi pɛ akyen kɔm.

6 By watchings, by fastings, by puritie, by knowledge, by long suffering, by kindnesse, by the holy Ghost, by loue vnfained,

Nanso yɛnam yɛn kronkronyɛ, osuahu, boasetɔ ne ayamye so ada yɛn ho adi sɛ yɛyɛ Onyankopɔn asomfo. Afei yɛnam Honhom Kronkron no so, yɛn nokware dɔ,

7 By the worde of trueth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousnesse on the right hand, and on the left,

yɛn nokwasɛm a yɛka ne Onyankopɔn tumi so kyerɛ sɛ yɛyɛ Onyankopɔn asomfo. Trenee ne yɛn akode a yɛde kɔ ɔtamfo so na yɛde bɔ yɛn ho ban nso.

8 By honour, and dishonour, by euill report, and good report, as deceiuers, and yet true:

Sɛ wɔhoahoa yɛn o, sɛ wogu yɛn anim ase o, sɛ wɔyaw yɛn o, sɛ wɔkamfo yɛn o, yɛkɔ so ara som Onyankopɔn. Wobu yɛn sɛ atorofo nanso yɛka nokware.

9 As vnknowen, and yet knowen: as dying, and beholde, we liue: as chastened, and yet not killed:

Wɔyɛ wɔn ho sɛnea wonnim yɛn nanso obiara nim yɛn. Yewui, sɛnea muhu no, nanso yɛte ase. Ɛwɔ mu sɛ wɔtwee yɛn aso nanso wɔankum yɛn.

10 As sorowing, and yet alway reioycing: as poore, and yet make many riche: as hauing nothing, and yet possessing all things.

Wɔmaa yɛn werɛ howee, nanso yɛn ani gye daa. Yɛsɛ ahiafo, nanso yɛma nnipa bebree nya wɔn ho. Ɛyɛ sɛ yɛn nsam nni hwee, nanso yɛwɔ biribiara.

11 O Corinthians, our mouth is open vnto you: our heart is made large.

Me nnamfonom a mowɔ Korinto, yɛabue yɛn koma mu aka nokware no akyerɛ mo.

12 Ye are not kept strait in vs, but ye are kept strait in your owne bowels.

Yɛmfaa biribiara nhintaw mo wɔ yɛn koma mu, na mo na mode nsɛm ahintaw yɛn wɔ mo koma mu.

13 Nowe for the same recompence, I speake as to my children, Be you also inlarged.

Mprempren, mekasa kyerɛ mo sɛ me mma: sɛnea yɛdwene mo ho no, mo nso monnwene yɛn ho saa ara bi. Mommfa biribiara nhintaw yɛn. Mummue mo koma mu!

14 Be not vnequally yoked with the infidels: for what fellowship hath righteousnesse with vnrighteousnesse? and what communion hath light with darkenesse?

Munnyaa mo ho mma abosonsomfo, efisɛ moyɛ no saa a, ɛnyɛ ye. Ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na nea eye ne nea enye behyia? Ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na hann ne sum atena faako?

15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath the beleeuer with the infidell?

Ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na Kristo ne Ɔbonsam adwene ahyia? Dɛn na ogyidini ne nea ɔnyɛ ogyidini wɔ yɛ?

16 And what agreement hath the Temple of God with idols? for ye are the Temple of the liuing God: as God hath said, I will dwell among them, and walke there: and I will be their God, and they shalbe my people.

Ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na Onyankopɔn asɔredan ne ɔbonsam ahoni ayɛ nhyehyɛe? Yɛyɛ Onyankopɔn a ɔte ase no asɔredan sɛnea Onyankopɔn no ankasa aka se, “Mede me nkurɔfo bɛyɛ me fi na matena wɔn mu; mɛyɛ wɔn Nyankopɔn na wɔayɛ me nkurɔfo.”

17 Wherefore come out from among them, and separate your selues, saith the Lord, and touch none vncleane thing, and I wil receiue you.

Awurade se, “Monkɔ. Mumfi hɔ nkɔ mommfa mo ho nka biribiara a ɛho ntew. Montew mo ho mfi nea ɛho ntew ho na megye mo.

18 And I will be a Father vnto you, and ye shalbe my sonnes and daughters, saith the Lord almightie.

Na, “Mɛyɛ mo Agya, na mobɛyɛ me mmabarima ne me mmabea.” Otumfo Awurade na ose.
