< 2 Corinthians 7 >
1 HAVING therefore these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
Me nnamfo pa, wɔahyɛ yɛn saa bɔ yi nyinaa. Enti, momma yɛnte yɛn ho mfiri biribiara a ɛgu honam anaa ɔkra no ho fi ho na yɛntena ase Onyankopɔn mu mfa nte yɛn ho kronn.
2 Give us a favourable reception: we have injured no man, we have corrupted no man, we have defrauded no man.
Mommue mo akoma mu mma yɛn. Yɛnyɛɛ obiara bɔne. Yɛnsisii obiara na yɛmmuu obiara kwasea nso.
3 I speak not for your condemnation, for I have already said, that ye are in our hearts to die and live together.
Merenka saa asɛm yi mfa ngu mo anim ase. Sɛdeɛ madi ɛkan aka no, yɛdɔ mo enti, daa sɛ yɛwu o, yɛte ase o, mowɔ yɛn akoma mu.
4 Great is my freedom of speech to you, great is my glorying over you: I am filled with consolation, I overflow with joy in all our tribulation.
Megye mo di enti mede mo hoahoa me ho. Yɛn haw nyinaa mu no, mempaa aba. Mede ahosɛpɛ retu mmirika no.
5 For when we were come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were afflicted on every side; without were fightings; within were fears.
Mpo yɛduruu Makedonia no, yɛanhome. Na ɔhaw wɔ hɔ baabiara. Na akasakasa wɔ wɔn ntam. Afei, na ehu wɔ yɛn akoma mu.
6 But God that comforteth the lowly comforted us by the coming of Titus:
Onyankopɔn a ɔhyɛ wɔn a wɔpa aba den no nam Tito ba a ɔbaeɛ no so hyɛɛ yɛn den.
7 and not by his coming only, but also by the consolation wherewith he had been comforted among you, declaring to us your fervent desire, your mourning, your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced the more.
Ɛnyɛ ne ba a ɔbaeɛ no nko, na mmom, ka a ɔbɛkaa sɛ mohyɛɛ no nkuran no. Ɔkaa sɛdeɛ mopɛ sɛ mohunu me no kyerɛɛ me. Ɔkaa sɛdeɛ modii yea ne sɛdeɛ na moasiesie mo ho sɛ mobɛbɔ me ho ban no enti seesei, ama mʼani agye sene kane no.
8 For if I grieved you by a letter, I do not repent, though I did repent: for I perceive that this letter made you sorry, though but for a season.
Sɛ me krataa a metwerɛɛ mo no hyɛɛ mo awerɛhoɔ a, ɛnyɛ me ya sɛ metwerɛeɛ. Ahyɛaseɛ no ɛhaa me nanso seesei deɛ ɛnha me. Menim sɛ krataa no mu nsɛm hoo mo werɛ ɛberɛ tiawa bi.
9 Now I rejoice, not that ye have been made sorrowful, but that ye have sorrowed unto repentance; for ye have been made sorry in a godly manner, that ye might receive damage from us in nothing.
Nanso, seesei deɛ, mʼani agye, ɛnyɛ sɛ memaa mo werɛ hoeɛ no enti, na mmom, sɛ mo awerɛhoɔ no ama moasesa mo akwan. Onyankopɔn na ɔmaa mo werɛ hoeɛ enti yɛn deɛ, yɛanha mo.
10 For sorrow of a godly sort worketh repentance unto salvation never to be repented of, but worldly sorrow worketh death.
Awerɛhoɔ a Onyankopɔn de baa mo so no enti, moanya ahonuo bi a ɛnam so de mo bɛkɔ nkwagyeɛ mu; enti ɛnsɛ sɛ ɛyɛ mo ya. Nanso, awerɛhoɔ a ewiase de brɛ yɛn no deɛ, ɛde owuo na ɛba.
11 For behold this very thing, that ye were made sorry after a godly manner, how great diligence did it produce in you! yea, what apologizing! yea, what indignation! yea, what fear! yea, what earnest desire! yea, what zeal! yea, what vengeance! In every step ye have approved yourselves as pure in this affair.
Monhwɛ deɛ Onyankopɔn nam ho a ɔmaa mo werɛ hooɛ so ayɛ. Mopɛ sɛ mofiri mo akoma mu kyerɛ sɛ monni fɔ. Mo bo afu. Mo ho adwiri mo. Mo ho pere mo, pɛ sɛ mohunu sɛ atɛntenenee ayɛ adwuma. Moakyerɛ sɛ modi bem wɔ asɛm yi ho.
12 And indeed though I wrote unto you, I did it not merely for his cause that had done the wrong, nor for his cause who had suffered the injury, but that our diligent attention for you might be more abundantly manifested to you in the presence of God.
Ɛwom sɛ metwerɛɛ saa krataa no deɛ, nanso ɛnyɛ obi a ɔyɛ bɔne anaa obi a wɔyɛ no bɔne enti na metwerɛeɛ. Metwerɛ bɛkyerɛɛ mo mu sɛdeɛ Onyankopɔn anim, mode mo ho nyinaa ama yɛn no.
13 Therefore we were comforted in your consolation; and exceeding abundantly the more rejoiced we in the joy of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all.
Ɛno na ɛhyɛ yɛn nkuran no. Ɛnyɛ nkuranhyɛ a ɛhyɛɛ yɛn no nko. Tito nso nam gye a mogyee no maa nʼani gyeeɛ no so maa yɛn nso ani gyeeɛ.
14 For if I have boasted of you to him in any thing, I am not ashamed; but as we have spoken all things to you in truth, so our boasting of you to Titus hath been found truth.
Mede mo ahoahoa me ho akyerɛ no na moanni me hwammɔ. Daa yɛka nokorɛ kyerɛ mo na hoa a mede mo hoahoa me ho kyerɛ Tito no nso aba mu.
15 And his bowels more abundantly yearn over you, when he remembers the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye received him.
Enti, sɛ ɔkae sɛdeɛ mo nyinaa pɛɛ sɛ moyɛ ɔsetie ma no na mode obuo ne anidie gyee no fɛ so no a, ɛma ɔdɔ a ɔdɔ mo no mu den ara na ɛreyɛ.
16 I rejoice therefore that in every thing I have confidence in you.
Ɛyɛ me anigye sɛ mɛtumi de me ho nyinaa ato mo so.
