1 Corinthians 3
1 AND I, brethren, have been unable to speak to you as unto spiritual men, but as to carnal, even as to babes in Christ.
Nokorɛm, anuanom, mantumi ankasa ankyerɛ mo sɛ nnipa a wɔwɔ Honhom no. Na ɛsɛ sɛ mekasa kyerɛ mo sɛ ewiasefoɔ a wɔte sɛ mmɔfra a wɔwɔ Kristo mu gyidie.
2 And I have given you milk to drink, and not meat: for hitherto ye have not been capable of it, yea, even to the present moment ye are not capable of it.
Memaa mo nufosuo. Mamma mo aduane a ɛyɛ den, ɛfiri sɛ, na ɛnyɛ mma mo. Na seesei ara mpo ɛnyɛ mma mo,
3 For ye are still carnal: for since there are among you envy, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as other men?
ɛfiri sɛ, moda so te hɔ sɛ ewiasefoɔ. Sɛ anibereɛ wɔ mo mu na motwa mo ho ne mo ho mo ho nya akasakasa a, ɛnna no adi sɛ moyɛ ewiasefoɔ a mote hɔ ma ewiase?
4 For when one saith, I am indeed of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?
Sɛ obi ka sɛ, “Me deɛ, medi Paulo akyi” na ɔfoforɔ nso ka sɛ, “Me nso mewɔ Apolo afa” a, ɛnkyerɛ sɛ moyɛ ewiasefoɔ anaa?
5 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but the ministers through whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to each of us?
Mebisa sɛ, Apolo yɛ hwan? Na Paulo nso yɛ hwan? Yɛyɛ Onyankopɔn asomfoɔ kwa a ɛnam yɛn so na monya gyidie. Adwuma a Onyankopɔn de ama yɛn mu biara sɛ yɛnyɛ no na yɛyɛ.
6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
Meduaa aba no na Apolo guguu so nsuo nanso Onyankopɔn na ɔmaa afifideɛ no nyiniiɛ.
7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, nor he that watereth; but God who giveth the increase.
Obi a ɔduaeɛ ne obi a ɔguguu so nsuo no ho nhia. Onyankopɔn na ne ho hia, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔno na ɔmaa afifideɛ no nyiniiɛ.
8 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: but every one shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.
Nsonsonoeɛ biara nni onipa a ɔdua ne deɛ ɔgugu so nsuo ntam. Onyankopɔn bɛhwɛ dwuma a wɔn mu biara diiɛ so na wama wɔn so adeɛ.
9 For we are God’s fellowlabourers: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building.
Yɛn deɛ yɛyɛ aboafoɔ a yɛne Onyankopɔn reyɛ adwuma na mo nso moyɛ Onyankopɔn afuo. Bio, moyɛ Onyankopɔn dan.
10 According to the grace of God given unto me, as a skilful architect, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every one take heed how he buildeth upon it.
Menam adom a Onyankopɔn de maa me no so meyɛɛ ɔdanseni pa adwuma. Metoo fapem ɛnna onipa foforɔ nso resi ato so. Nanso, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔn mu biara fa ɛkwan pa so si.
11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus the Messiah.
Ɛfiri sɛ, Onyankopɔn ayɛ Yesu Kristo nko ɛdan no fapem enti wɔrentumi nto fapem foforɔ biara bio.
12 But if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, timbers, hay, stubble;
Ebinom de sikakɔkɔɔ, anaa dwetɛ anaa aboɔden aboɔ na ɛbɛsi wɔn dan wɔ fapem no so; afoforɔ nso de nnua anaa ɛserɛ anaa wira.
13 every man’s work shall be made manifest: for that day shall declare it, for it shall be laid open by fire; and the fire shall prove every man’s work of what sort it is.
Obiara dwuma a ɔdiiɛ no, ɛda no bɛda no adi; ɛda no ogya no bɛda obiara adwuma adi. Ogya no bɛsɔ ahwɛ, ahunu dwuma ko no yɛ a ɛyɛ.
14 If any man’s work which he hath built abide the trial, he shall receive a reward.
Sɛ deɛ onipa ko no de sii fapem no so no tumi gyina ogya no ano a, ɛbɛnya akatua.
15 If any man’s work be burnt up, he shall suffer loss: but himself shall be saved; yet so as through the fire.
Na sɛ obi adwuma hye wɔ ogya no ano a, akatua no bɛbɔ no, nanso ɔno deɛ, ɔbɛnya nkwa sɛ obi a wadwane afiri gyaframa mu.
16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
Nokorɛm, monim sɛ moyɛ Onyankopɔn asɔredan na Onyankopɔn Honhom no te mo mu!
17 If any man prophane the temple of God, him will God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
Enti, obiara a ɔbɛsɛe Onyankopɔn asɔredan no, Onyankopɔn bɛsɛe no. Ɛfiri sɛ, Onyankopɔn asɔredan yɛ kronkron, na mo na moyɛ nʼasɔredan no.
18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you thinketh himself a wise man in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. (aiōn g165)
Ɛnsɛ sɛ obiara daadaa ne ho. Sɛ obi a ɔka mo ho fa ne ho sɛ ɔyɛ ewiase yi mu onyansafoɔ a, ɛwɔ sɛ ɔyɛ ɔkwasea ansa na wabɛyɛ onyansafoɔ. (aiōn g165)
19 For the wisdom of this world is folly in the sight of God. For it is written, “He entangleth the wise in their own craftiness.”
Ɛfiri sɛ, deɛ ewiase bu no nyansa no yɛ asɛm a aba nni mu wɔ Onyankopɔn ani so. Atwerɛsɛm no ka sɛ, “Ɔkyere anyansafoɔ wɔ wɔn aniteɛ mu.”
20 And again, “The Lord knoweth the reasonings of the wise, that they are futile.”
Bio, Atwerɛsɛm no ka sɛ, “Awurade nim onipa nsusuiɛ. Ɔnim sɛ ɛnkɔsi hwee.”
21 Wherefore let no man glory in men. For all things are your’s;
Enti, ɛnsɛ sɛ obiara de deɛ onipa tumi yɛ hoahoa ne ho na biribiara yɛ mo dea.
22 whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all things are your’s;
Paulo, Apolo ne Petro, saa ewiase yi, nkwa ne owuo, ɛnnɛ ne daakye nyinaa yɛ mo dea,
23 and ye are Christ’s; and Christ is God’s.
na moyɛ Kristo dea na Kristo nso yɛ Onyankopɔn dea.
