< 2 Corinthians 12 >

1 It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to visions and revelations of YHWH.
Ɛwɔ mu sɛ ahohoahoa so nni mfaso biara de, nanso ɛsɛ sɛ mehoahoa me ho. Nanso afei mɛka anisoadehu ne adiyisɛm a Awurade ada no adi akyerɛ me no.
2 I knew a man in the Messiah above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: YHWH knoweth; ) such an one caught up to the third heaven.
Minim Okristoni bi a mfe dunan ni biribi hwim no de no kɔɔ ɔsoro. Minnim sɛ saa asɛm yi sii ampa ara anaasɛ ɛyɛ anisoadehu. Onyankopɔn nko ara na onim.
3 And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: YHWH knoweth; )
Miti mu. Minim sɛ wohwim saa ɔbarima yi kɔɔ Paradise. Bio, minnim sɛ saa asɛm yi sii ampa ara anaasɛ ɛyɛ anisoadehu. Onyankopɔn nko ara na onim.
4 How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
Na hɔ na ɔtee nneɛma bi a wɔde ka nsɛm a ɛnyɛ yiye, nsɛm a wɔmma kwan mma wɔnka.
5 Of such an one will I glory: yet of myself I will not glory, but in mine infirmities.
Enti mede saa onipa yi bɛhoahoa me ho na meremfa me ara me ho nhoahoa me ho, gye sɛ nneɛma a ɛda me adi sɛ meyɛ mmerɛw no ho.
6 For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth: but now I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth me to be, or that he heareth of me.
Sɛ mehoahoa me ho mpo a, anka merenyɛ ɔkwasea, efisɛ nokware ara na meka. Nanso merenhoahoa me ho, efisɛ mempɛ sɛ obiara bu me otitiriw sen sɛnea wahu na wate afi me nkyɛn no.
7 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.
Sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a ɛnam saa adiyisɛm nwonwaso yi nti meremma me ho so no, wɔsomaa ɔbonsam bɔfo ma ɔde honam mu yaw a emu yɛ den brɛɛ me de brɛɛ me ase.
8 For this thing I besought YHWH thrice, that it might depart from me.
Mebɔɔ eyi ho mpae mprɛnsa kyerɛɛ Awurade na mesrɛɛ no sɛ ɔmma emfi me so nkɔ.
9 And he said unto me, My favour is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of the Messiah may rest upon me.
Ne mmuae a ɔmaa me ne sɛ, “Mʼadom nko ara na ɛho hia wo, na bere a woayɛ mmerɛw no na me tumi mu yɛ den pa ara.” Enti ɛyɛ me anigye pa ara sɛ mede me mmerɛwyɛ hoahoa me ho, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a mɛte Kristo bammɔ tumi a ɛbɔ me ho ban no nka.
10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for the Messiah's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
Esiane Kristo nti, mepene mmerɛwyɛ, ɔyaw, amanehunu, ɔtaa ne akwanside so. Efisɛ me mmerɛwyɛ mu no na meyɛ den.
11 I am become a fool in glorying; ye have compelled me: for I ought to have been commended of you: for in nothing am I behind the very chiefest apostles, though I be nothing.
Meyɛ me ho sɛ ɔkwasea, nanso mo na moama mayɛ saa. Mo na anka ɛsɛ sɛ mugye me to mu. Na sɛ menyɛ hwee a, ɔkwan biara so no, mennyɛ sɛ abomfiaa wɔ mo anim nsen “Asomafo” a mubu wɔn no.
12 Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds.
Mede boasetɔ dii dwuma wɔ mo mu de kyerɛɛ sɛ meyɛ ɔsomafo.
13 For what is it wherein ye were inferior to other assemblies, except it be that I myself was not burdensome to you? forgive me this wrong.
Dwumadi no bi yɛ nsɛnkyerɛnne ne anwonwade. Dɛn na ɛma moyɛ asɔre a aka no mu abomfiaa, efisɛ mammisa mo mmoa bi nti? Mesrɛ mo, momfa saa mfomso no nkyɛ me.
14 Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be burdensome to you: for I seek not yours, but you: for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.
Afei masiesie me ho sɛ merebɛsra mo nea ɛto so mpɛn abiɛsa, na merenyɛ adesoa mma mo. Mo na mo ho hia me na ɛnyɛ mo ahode. Na mpo mmofra nkora ade mma awofo, awofo mmom na wɔkora ade ma mmofra.
15 And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved.
Ɛbɛyɛ me anigye sɛ mo nti, mɛhwere nea mewɔ ne mʼadagyew de aboa mo. Sɛ medɔ mo yiye a, mo dɔ a mowɔ ma me no so bɛtew ana?
16 But be it so, I did not burden you: nevertheless, being crafty, I caught you with guile.
Mobɛte ase sɛ na menyɛ adesoa mma mo. Nanso obi bɛka se, meyɛ ɔdaadaafo a mede nnaadaa na eyii mo.
17 Did I make a gain of you by any of them whom I sent unto you?
Ɔkwan bɛn so? Menam abɔfo a mesomaa wɔn mo nkyɛn no so sisii mo ana?
18 I desired Titus, and with him I sent a brother. Did Titus make a gain of you? walked we not in the same spirit? walked we not in the same steps?
Mesomaa Tito se ɔnkɔ, na mesomaa onua baako kaa ne ho. Mokyerɛ sɛ Tito sisii mo ana? So na ɔno ne me nyinaa mfi Honhom koro mu ntu anammɔn koro ana?
19 Again, think ye that we excuse ourselves unto you? we speak before YHWH in the Messiah: but we do all things, dearly beloved, for your edifying.
So mususuw daa sɛ pɛ ara na yɛpɛ sɛ yɛka biribi de tetew yɛn ho wɔ mo anim ana? Yɛkasa sɛnea Kristo pɛ sɛ yɛka wɔ Onyankopɔn anim. Na biribiara a yɛyɛ no nso, me nnamfo pa, yɛyɛ de hyɛ mo den.
20 For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and that I shall be found unto you such as ye would not: lest there be debates, envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults:
Misuro sɛ midu hɔ a sɛnea anka mepɛ sɛ mihu mo no, merenhu mo saa. Saa ara nso na sɛnea anka mopɛ sɛ muhu me no, morenhu me saa. Minim sɛ mɛba abɛto akasakasa ne anibere, abufuw ne pɛsɛmenkominya, ɔyaw ne nseku, ahantan ne basabasayɛ no.
21 And lest, when I come again, my Elohim will humble me among you, and that I shall bewail many which have sinned already, and have not repented of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they have committed.
Misuro sɛ da a mɛba bio no, Onyankopɔn begu mʼanim ase wɔ mo anim na mesu ama wɔn a wɔayɛ bɔne dedaw na wonnuu wɔn ho wɔ wɔn akɔnnɔ ne aguamammɔ ho no.
