2 Corinthians 11

1 I wish that you would bear with me in a little foolishness, but indeed you do bear with me.

Mewɔ anidasoɔ sɛ, sɛ meyɛ nkwaseadeɛ koraa a, mobɛgye me. Mepa mo kyɛw, monyɛ saa.

2 For I am jealous over you with a godly jealousy. For I married you to one husband, that I might present you as a pure virgin to Meshikha.

Metwe mo ho ninkunu, sɛdeɛ Onyankopɔn twe mo ho ninkunu no. Mote sɛ ɔbaabunu a mahyɛ no awadeɛ ho bɔ ama ɔbarima baako pɛ bi a ɔno ne Kristo.

3 But I am afraid that somehow, as the serpent deceived Khawa in his craftiness, so your minds might be corrupted from the sincerity and purity that is in the Meshikha.

Mesuro sɛ wɔbɛsɛe mo adwene na mo a mode mo ho nyinaa ama Kristo no, mobɛgyae sɛdeɛ ɔwɔ no nam anifire so daadaa Hawa no.

4 For if he who comes preaches another Yeshua, whom we did not preach, or if you receive a different spirit, which you did not receive, or a different "good news", which you did not accept, you put up with that well enough.

Mode anigyeɛ gye obiara a ɔba mo nkyɛn bɛka Yesu foforɔ a ɔnnyɛ deɛ yɛka ne ho asɛm kyerɛ mo no di; mogye honhom bi ne asɛmpa bi a nsonsonoeɛ da ɛno ne Honhom ne Asɛmpa a yɛka kyerɛ mo no ntam no di.

5 For I reckon that I am not at all behind the very best apostles.

Mennye nni sɛ meyɛ “Asomafoɔ” no mu abomfiaa.

6 Even though I am unskilled in speech, I am not unskilled in knowledge. But in every way we have made this known to you in all things.

Ebia mʼano ntee deɛ, nanso mʼadwene mu abue. Ɛkwan biara so, yɛama mo ate saa asɛm yi ase.

7 Or did I commit a sin in humbling myself that you might be exalted, because I preached to you God's Good News free of charge?

Mebɛkaa Onyankopɔn Asɛmpa no kyerɛɛ mo no, mannye mo hwee. Mebrɛɛ me ho ase sɛdeɛ ɛbɛma mo akrɔn. Bɔne a meyɛeɛ ne sɛ meyɛɛ saa?

8 I robbed other congregations, taking wages from them that I might serve you.

Ɛberɛ a na mereyɛ mo mu adwuma no, asafo afoforɔ bi na na wɔtua me ka.

9 When I was present with you and was in need, I was not a burden on anyone, for the brothers, when they came from Macedonia, supplied the measure of my need. In everything I kept myself from being burdensome to you, and I will continue to do so.

Ɛberɛ a na mewɔ mo nkyɛn no, sɛ sika ho hia me a, na menha mo. Na anuanom a wɔte Makedonia no de biribiara a ɛho hia me brɛ me. Sɛdeɛ na ɛte mmerɛ a atwam no, saa ara nso na daakye ɛbɛyɛ. Merenyɛ adesoa mma mo da.

10 As the truth of Meshikha is in me, no one will stop me from this boasting in the regions of Achaia.

Kristo nokorɛdie a ahyɛ me ma enti, mehyɛ mo bɔ sɛ obiara rentumi nka mʼahohoahoa yi nhyɛ wɔ Helaman mu da.

11 Why? Because I do not love you? God knows.

Adɛn enti na meka saa? Ɛfiri sɛ, mennɔ mo anaa? Onyankopɔn nim sɛ medɔ mo.

12 But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them that desire an occasion, that in which they boast, they may be found even as we.

Mɛkɔ so madi dwuma a meredi no seesei yi sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, saa “asomafoɔ” no rennya kwan nhoahoa wɔn ho sɛ dwuma a wɔdi no te sɛ yɛn dwuma a yɛdi no pɛ.

13 For such people are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as Meshikha's apostles.

Saa nnipa no nyɛ nokorɛ asomafoɔ. Wɔyɛ atorɔ asomafoɔ a wɔnam twa atorɔ wɔ wɔn adwuma ho ma nnipa hunu wɔn sɛ wɔyɛ Kristo asomafoɔ.

14 And no wonder, for even Satana masquerades as an angel of light.

Ɛnyɛ me nwanwa, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔbonsam koraa tumi sesa ne ho ma ɔdane yɛ sɛ hann.

15 It is no great thing therefore if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.

Enti ɛnyɛ nwanwa sɛ nʼasomfoɔ tumi sesa wɔn ho de daadaa nnipa sɛ wɔyɛ papa. Awieeɛ no, wɔbɛnya wɔn nneyɛeɛ so akatua pɛpɛɛpɛ.

16 I say again, let no one think me foolish. But if so, yet receive me as foolish, that I also may boast a little.

Meti mu ka bio sɛ: Ɛnsɛ sɛ obiara susu sɛ meyɛ ɔkwasea. Sɛ mosusu saa a, ɛnneɛ monnye me sɛdeɛ mobɛgye ɔkwasea na menam so matumi mahoahoa me ho.

17 That which I speak, I do not speak according to the Lord, but as in foolishness, in this confidence of boasting.

Asɛm a mereka yi nyɛ deɛ Awurade pɛ sɛ meka. Meka ahohoahoa ho asɛm a, na mekasa sɛ ɔkwasea.

18 Seeing that many boast after the flesh, I will also boast.

Nanso, ɛsiane sɛ nnipa bebree hoahoa wɔn ho nipasu mu enti, me nso mɛyɛ saa.

19 For you bear with the foolish gladly, being wise.

Mo ankasa mo ani ate enti mode anigyeɛ gye nkwaseafoɔ.

20 For you put up with it if someone makes slaves of you, if someone exploits you, if someone takes advantage of you, if someone exalts himself, if someone strikes you on the face.

Mogye obi a ɔhyɛ mo so anaa deɛ ɔnya mo ho biribi anaa deɛ ɔsum mo afidie anaa deɛ ɔmmu mo anaa deɛ ɔbɔ mo ani so.

21 I speak by way of disparagement, as though we had been weak. Yet however any is bold (I speak in foolishness), I am bold also.

Mefɛre sɛ mɛgye yei ato mu, nanso yɛn ahoɔmmerɛ na ɛma yɛyɛɛ saa. Sɛ obi tumi de biribi hoahoa ne ho a, merekasa sɛ ɔkwasea, e nso mɛtumi ahoahoa me ho wɔ dekodeɛ no ho bi.

22 Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israyelites? So am I. Are they descendants of Avraham? So am I.

Wɔyɛ Hebrifoɔ anaa? Me nso meyɛ bi. Wɔyɛ Israelfoɔ anaa? Me nso meyɛ bi. Wɔyɛ Abraham asefoɔ anaa? Me nso meyɛ bi.

23 Are they servants of Meshikha? (I speak as one beside himself) I am more so; in labors more abundantly, in prisons more abundantly, in stripes above measure, in deaths often.

Wɔyɛ Kristo asomfoɔ anaa? Merekasa sɛ ɔbɔdamfoɔ. Nanso, meyɛ ɔsomfoɔ pa sene wɔn. Mayɛ adwuma a ɛyɛ den sene wɔn; mada afiase mpɛn bebree; wɔabɔ me mmaa bebree na metaa mebɛn owuo nso.

24 Five times from the Jews I received forty stripes minus one.

Yudafoɔ bɔɔ me mmaa aduasa nkron ahodoɔ enum.

25 Three times I was beaten with rods. Once I was stoned. Three times I suffered shipwreck. I have been a night and a day in the deep.

Romafoɔ bɔɔ me mmaa mprɛnsa na wɔsii me aboɔ pɛnkorɔ. Metenaa ahyɛn mu maa ɛbɔeɛ mprɛnsa. Medii nsuo ase nnɔnhwere aduonu ɛnan pɛn.

26 I have been in travels often, perils of rivers, perils of robbers, perils from my countrymen, perils from those who are not Jews, perils in the city, perils in the wilderness, perils in the sea, perils among false brothers;

Mʼakwantuo ahodoɔ mu, mehyiaa nsuyire ne akwanmukafoɔ. Mehunuu amane wɔ Yudafoɔ ne amanamanmufoɔ nsam. Mehunuu nkuro so amane. Mehunuu wiram amane. Mehunuu ɛpo so amane ne nnamfoɔ a wɔnka nokorɛ nsam amane.

27 in labor and travail, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, and in cold and nakedness.

Mayɛ adwuma a ɛyɛ den na ɔbrɛ wɔ mu. Mpɛn pii, menna. Ɛkɔm ne sukɔm dee me. Mpɛn pii, mennya aduane a ɛbɛso me nni. Mennya baabi nna anaa atadeɛ nhyɛ.

28 Besides those things that are outside, there is that which presses on me daily, anxiety for all the congregations.

Ɛberɛ biara na mema asafo ahodoɔ no ho nsɛm yɛ me asɛnhia.

29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is caused to stumble, and I do not burn with indignation?

Sɛ obi yɛ mmerɛ a ɛma me nso meyɛ mmerɛ. Sɛ obi ka ɔfoforɔ kɔ bɔne mu a, ɛma me werɛ ho.

30 If I must boast, I will boast of the things that concern my weakness.

Sɛ mehoahoa me ho a, na ɛsɛ sɛ mehoahoa me ho wɔ nneɛma a ɛkyerɛ me mmerɛyɛ no mu.

31 The God and Father of the Lord Yeshua, he who is blessed forevermore, knows that I do not lie. (aiōn g165)

Awurade Yesu no, Onyankopɔn ne Agya no a ɛsɛ sɛ yɛkamfo no no nim sɛ merentwa nkontompo. (aiōn g165)

32 In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king guarded the city of the Damascenes, desiring to arrest me.

Ɛberɛ a mewɔ Damasko no, Amrado a na ɔhyɛ Ɔhene Areta ase no maa awɛmfoɔ wɛnee kuro no ɛpono pɛɛ sɛ wɔkyere me.

33 Through a window I was let down in a basket by the wall, and escaped his hands.

Nanso, wɔde me sii kɛntɛn mu twetwee me faa ɔfasuo bi a apae tokuro mu de me sii fam maa medwane firii ne nsam.
