< 2 Corinthians 7 >
1 Seing then we haue these promises, dearely beloued, let vs clense our selues from all filthinesse of the flesh and spirit, and finish our sanctification in the feare of God.
Ke azɔ nɔvinye lɔlɔ̃tɔwo, esi Mawu do ŋugbe gã siawo na mí ta la, mina míadzudzɔ nu gbegblẽ wɔwɔ, eye míate ɖa xaa tso nu siwo ƒoa ɖi míaƒe ŋutilã kple gbɔgbɔ la gbɔ, eye míanɔ agbe kɔkɔewo to Aƒetɔ la vɔvɔ̃ me, alé eƒe nyawo me ɖe asi sesĩe.
2 Receiue vs: we haue done wrong to no man: we haue corrupted no man: we haue defrauded no man.
Le míaƒe dɔwɔwɔ me kpli mi la, míekplɔ ame aɖeke to mɔtatra aɖeke dzi o, míeba ame aɖeke alo gblẽ ame aɖeke ƒe naneke o, eya ta miʋu miaƒe dziwo ƒe ʋɔtruwo ne miaxɔ mí ɖe wo me.
3 I speake it not to your condemnation: for I haue said before, that ye are in our hearts, to die and liue together.
Nyemele esiawo gblɔm be matsɔ fɔbubu aɖeke ada ɖe mia dzi o, elabena megblɔ va yi xoxo be mena teƒe mi le nye dzi me tegbee be manɔ agbe kpli mi, eye maku hã kpli mi.
4 I vse great boldnesse of speach toward you: I reioyce greatly in you: I am filled with comfort, and am exceeding ioyous in all our tribulation.
Meɖoa dzi ɖe mia ŋu ŋutɔ, eye medana ɖe mia dzi hã ŋutɔ, eye togbɔ be nuxaxa kple vevesese geɖe le dzinye hã la, ne meɖo ŋku mia dzi ko la, dzideƒo ɖoa asinye eye dzidzɔ yɔa menye taŋtaŋtaŋ.
5 For when we were come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were troubled on euery side, fightings without, and terrours within.
Míekpɔ ŋutifafa aɖeke esi míeva ɖo Makedonia o, fukpekpewo sɔŋ koe ƒo xlã mí. Amewo do dzre na mí to mɔ ɖe sia ɖe dzi, eye vɔvɔ̃ kple ŋɔdzi yɔ mía me fũu ŋutɔ.
6 But God, that comforteth the abiect, comforted vs at the comming of Titus:
Ke Mawu, ame si ŋutɔ dea dzi ƒo na ame siwo ƒo dzi ɖe le la de dzi ƒo na míawo hã esi Tito va ɖo mía gbɔ.
7 And not by his comming onely, but also by the consolation wherewith he was comforted of you, when he tolde vs your great desire, your mourning, your feruent minde to me warde, so that I reioyced much more.
Menye esi wòva ɖo mía gbɔ dedie la ɖeɖe koe na be míekpɔ dzidzɔ o, ke boŋ nya siwo keŋ wògagblɔ nam tso mia ŋuti tae; ale si miexɔe nyuie, ale si wònye miaƒe didi be yewoakpɔm, eye ale si wòve mi ŋutɔ be mele fu geɖe kpem kple ale si miele klalo be yewoalé nu siwo mefia mi la ko me ɖe asi la na megli kple dzidzɔ.
8 For though I made you sorie with a letter, I repent not, though I did repent: for I perceiue that the same epistle made you sorie, though it were but for a season.
Fifia la, megavem be meŋlɔ agbalẽ sesẽ ma ɖo ɖe mi o, togbɔ be mexa nu geɖe le eŋu le gɔmedzedzea me hã la, menya be miawo hã miexa nu ɣeyiɣi kpui aɖe ko.
9 I nowe reioyce, not that ye were sorie, but that ye sorowed to repentance: for ye sorowed godly, so that in nothing ye were hurt by vs.
Azɔ la, mekpɔ dzidzɔ manyagblɔ aɖe be meɖo agbalẽ ma ɖe mi. Nyemele dzidzɔ kpɔm be miexa nu o, ke boŋ be agbalẽ la na miedzudzɔ agbe vlowo nɔnɔ, eye mieva Aƒetɔ la gbɔ. Mawu ŋutɔe to dzinye ŋlɔ agbalẽ ma na mi be miadzudzɔ nu vɔ̃ wɔwɔ, eya ta menye míawoe na miexa nu o.
10 For godly sorowe causeth repentance vnto saluation, not to be repented of: but the worldly sorowe causeth death.
Elabena ɣe aɖewo ɣi la, Mawu nana míexaa nu be míadze si míaƒe nu vɔ̃wo eye míadzudzɔ nu vɔ̃ɖi wɔwɔ, eye míadi agbe mavɔ la. Ke ne ame aɖe xa nu vevie le eya ŋutɔ ƒe agbe vlo nɔnɔ ta, gake metrɔ dzi me o la, ahe ku vɛ.
11 For beholde, this thing that ye haue bene godly sory, what great care it hath wrought in you: yea, what clearing of yourselues: yea, what indignation: yea, what feare: yea, howe great desire: yea, what a zeale: yea, what reuenge: in all things ye haue shewed your selues, that ye are pure in this matter.
Miawo ŋutɔ mikpɔ ɖa, nenem nuxaxa sia si miexa ɖe Mawu ƒe didi nu la he vevidodo geɖe vɛ na mi. Ena mieku kutri, eye mietsi dzimaɖi be yewoatsri nu vɔ̃ si ŋu meƒo nu le na mi la wɔwɔ. Vɔvɔ̃ ɖo mi le nuwɔna ma ta eye miedi gɔ̃ hã be mava kpe ɖe yewo ŋuti le nya sia me. Miehe to na ame siwo wɔ nu gbegblẽ sia hã vevie, eye mieɖe mia ɖokui fia be miede nu si wowɔ la dzi o.
12 Wherefore, though I wrote vnto you, I did not it for his cause that had done the wrong, neither for his cause that had the iniurie, but that our care toward you in the sight of God might appeare vnto you.
Eya ta ɖe meŋlɔ agbalẽ la koŋ be Mawu naɖe ale si melɔ̃a mi la afia, ke menye ɖe ame si wɔ vɔ̃ sia alo ame si ŋuti wowɔ vɔ̃ sia ɖo la ta o, ke boŋ be miaƒe veviedodo nu ɖe mía ta nadze ƒãa le mia dome le Mawu ƒe ŋkume.
13 Therefore we were comforted, because ye were comforted: but rather we reioyced much more for the ioye of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all.
Hekpe ɖe dzideƒo si miena mí to lɔlɔ̃ si mieɖe fia mí la ŋu la, míegakpɔ dzidzɔ geɖe hã le ale si miexɔ Tito kple nu nyui siwo katã miewɔ nɛ be eƒe dzi dze eme la ta.
14 For if that I haue boasted any thing to him of you, I haue not bene ashamed: but as I haue spoken vnto you all things in trueth, euen so our boasting vnto Titus was true.
Hafi Tito nadzo le gbɔnye la, metsɔ mi ƒo adegbe nɛ, eye meɖi ɖase nyui le mia ŋuti nɛ, eye vavã miewɔ nu siwo megblɔ nɛ tso mia ŋuti la hã nɛ. Abe ale si metoa nyateƒe na mi le nu sia nu me ene la, nenema ke megblɔ nyateƒe tso mia ŋuti na Tito hã.
15 And his inwarde affection is more aboundant toward you, when he remembreth the obedience of you all, and howe with feare and trembling ye receiued him.
Azɔ ne Tito hã ɖo ŋku ale si mieɖo toe le nu si wòfia mi me, ale si mieɖe lɔlɔ̃ fiae kple ale si miexɔe kple dzi blibo dzi la, enana be eya hã ƒe lɔlɔ̃ na mi gadzina ɖe edzi.
16 I reioyce therefore that I may put my confidence in you in all things.
Ke esi menya be ɖekawɔwɔ kple lɔlɔ̃ gaɖo mía dome azɔ la, ena be nye hã mekpɔ dzidzɔ blibo, eye megaɖo ŋu ɖe mia ŋu le nu sia nu me.
