1 Corinthians 16

1 And concerning the collection that [is] for the holy ones, as I directed to the assemblies of Galatia, so also you—do;

Asɛm a ɛfa tow a wobeyi de aboa Onyankopɔn asafomma a wɔwɔ Yudea ho no ni: Ɛsɛ sɛ moyɛ nea meka kyerɛɛ Galati asafo ahorow sɛ wɔnyɛ no bi.

2 on every first [day] of the week, let each one of you lay by him, treasuring up whatever he may have prospered, that when I may come then collections may not be made;

Kwasida biara sika a moanya no, momfa bi nsie baabi sɛnea meba mo nkyɛn a ɛremma munyi tow.

3 and whenever I may come, whomsoever you may approve, through letters, these I will send to carry your favor to Jerusalem;

Sɛ meba hɔ a mɛkyerɛw adansedi krataa de asoma nnipa a mopene so sɛ mensoma wɔn, na wɔabegye mo akyɛde no de akɔ Yerusalem.

4 and if it be worthy for me also to go, with me they will go.

Sɛ ɛho hia sɛ me ne wɔn ba a, me ne wɔn bɛba.

5 And I will come to you when I pass through Macedonia—for I pass through Macedonia—

Sɛ mifi Makedonia a na mɛba mo nkyɛn, efisɛ mɛfa hɔ.

6 and with you, it may be, I will abide, or even winter, that you may send me forward wherever I go,

Ebia medi nna kakra wɔ mo nkyɛn, anaa mpo medi awɔwbere no wɔ mo nkyɛn, na moaboa me ama makɔ baabiara a mepɛ sɛ mekɔ.

7 for I do not wish to see you now in the passing, but I hope to remain a certain time with you, if the LORD may permit;

Mempɛ sɛ midi nna tiaa bi wɔ mo nkyɛn. Na mmom, mewɔ anidaso sɛ, sɛ Awurade pɛ a, mɛtena mo nkyɛn akyɛ.

8 and I will remain in Ephesus until the Pentecost,

Nanso mɛtena Efeso ha yi akosi Pentekoste da no.

9 for a door has been opened to me—great and effectual—and withstanders [are] many.

Ɛwɔ mu sɛ wɔn a wɔasɔre atia me no dɔɔso de, nanso akwan pa a metumi afa so adi dwuma pa wɔ ha.

10 And if Timotheus may come, see that he may become without fear with you, for he works the work of the LORD, even as I,

Sɛ Timoteo ba mo nkyɛn wɔ ha a, monsom no hɔho, efisɛ ɔreyɛ Awurade adwuma sɛnea meyɛ yi ara.

11 no one, then, may despise him; and send him forward in peace, that he may come to me, for I expect him with the brothers;

Obiara mmu no abomfiaa, na mmom mommoa no na ontu ne kwan yi asomdwoe mu na watumi asan abɛka me nsa, efisɛ merehwɛ ɔne anuanom no anim.

12 and concerning Apollos our brother, I begged him much that he may come to you with the brothers, and it was not at all [his] will that he may come now, and he will come when he may find convenient.

Onua Apolo nso, metaa hyɛ no nkuran sɛ ɔne anuanom a wɔaka no ntaa nsra mo, nanso ɔnyɛɛ nʼadwene sɛ ɔbɛba mprempren ara. Sɛ onya kwan de a, ɔbɛba.

13 Watch, stand in the faith; be men, be strong;

Monwɛn, momma mo gyidi mu nyɛ den; mo bo nyɛ duru na munnya ahoɔden.

14 let all your things be done in love.

Momfa ɔdɔ nyɛ mo nnwuma nyinaa.

15 And I beg you, brothers, you have known the household of Stephanas, that it is the first-fruit of Achaia, and they set themselves to the ministry to the holy ones—

Munim Stefana ne ne fifo ho asɛm. Wɔyɛ nnipa a wɔdan bɛyɛɛ Kristofo kan wɔ Hela na wɔde wɔn ho ama Onyankopɔn adwumayɛfo. Mesrɛ mo, me nuanom,

16 that you also be subject to such, and to everyone who is working with [us] and laboring;

sɛ mommrɛ mo ho ase mma nnipa a wɔte saa ne wɔn a wodi saa dwuma no bi no.

17 and I rejoice over the coming of Stephanas, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus, because these filled up the lack of you;

Mʼani gye Stefana, Fortunato ne Akaiko ba a wɔbae no ho. Wobesii mo anan

18 for they refreshed my spirit and yours; acknowledge, therefore, those who [are] such.

na wɔama mʼani agye sɛnea wɔmaa mo ani gyei no ara pɛ. Ɛsɛ sɛ yɛkae nnipa a wɔte saa no.

19 The assemblies of Asia greet you; Aquilas and Priscilla greet you much in the LORD, with the assembly in their house;

Asafo a wɔwɔ Asia no kyia mo. Akwila ne Priska ne asafo a wohyia wɔ wɔn fi no nso kyia mo.

20 all the brothers greet you; greet one another in a holy kiss.

Anuanom a wɔwɔ ha no kyia mo. Momfa ɔdɔ nkyiakyia mo ho mo ho.

21 The salutation of [me], Paul, with my hand;

Me ara me nsa ano nkyerɛw ni: Me Paulo, mikyia mo.

22 if anyone does not cherish the Lord Jesus Christ—let him be accursed! The LORD has come!

Obiara a ɔnnɔ Awurade no, nnome mmra ne so. Marana-ta “Yɛn Awurade bra!”

23 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ [is] with you;

Awurade Yesu adom mmra mo so.

24 my love [is] with you all in Christ Jesus! Amen.

Me dɔ nka mo nyinaa wɔ Kristo Yesu mu. Amen.
