2 Corinthians 3
1 Are we beginning again ourselves to commend? (Or *N(k)O*) surely not we need like some commendatory letters to you or from you (commendatory [letters]? *k*)
Eyi kyerɛ sɛ yɛrehoahoa yɛn ho bio ana? Anaasɛ yehia adansedi nkrataa a efi yɛn nkyɛn anaa mo nkyɛn sɛnea afoforo hia no ana?
2 The letter of us you yourselves are inscribed in the hearts of us, being known and being read by all men,
Mo ankasa moyɛ krataa a ɛwɔ yɛn nkyɛn a wɔakyerɛw wɔ yɛn koma mu sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a obiara behu na wakenkan.
3 being revealed that you are a letter of Christ having been ministered to by us inscribed not in ink but with [the] Spirit of God [the] living, not on tablets of stone but on tablets (of hearts *N(K)O*) human.
Mote sɛ krataa a Kristo nam yɛn som so akyerɛw. Ɛnyɛ adubiri na wɔde kyerɛw no ɔbo pon so na mmom Onyankopɔn a ɔte ase no Honhom na wɔde kyerɛw guu nnipa koma mu.
4 Confidence now such we have through Christ toward God;
Saa ahotoso yi na yɛnam Kristo so anya wɔ Onyankopɔn fam.
5 Not for from ourselves sufficient we are to reckon anything as of (ourselves, *NK(O)*) but the sufficiency of us [is] of God,
Biribiara nni yɛn mu a ebetumi ama yɛasi yɛn bo aka se yebetumi ayɛ saa adwuma yi. Ahoɔden a yɛwɔ no fii Onyankopɔn.
6 who also has made competent us [as] ministers of a new covenant, not of [the] letter but of [the] Spirit; the for letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
Ɔno na wama yɛn afata sɛ NʼApam Foforo ho asomfo. Efi Honhom Kronkron no na emfi mmara a wɔakyerɛw. Mmara de owu ba na Honhom no ne nea ɛma nkwa.
7 If now the ministry of death in (letters *NK(o)*) engraved (in *k*) stones was produced in glory, so as for not to be able to look intently the sons of Israel into the face of Moses on account of the glory of the face of him which is fading,
Mmara a ɛde owu bae no, na wɔakyerɛw no ɔbo pon so, nanso anuonyam a na ekura no nti nnipa no antumi anhwɛ Mose anim. Mose anuonyam hyerɛnee nanso saa anuonyam no dumii.
8 how surely more the ministry of the Spirit will be in glory?
Enti apam a Honhom no de ba no rennya anuonyam mmoroso ana?
9 If for (to the *N(k)O*) ministry of condemnation [was] glory, much more abounds the ministry of righteousness (in *k*) glory!
Sɛ mmara a ɛde owu ba no wɔ anuonyam a, ɛno de nea ɛma yɛteɛ wɔ Onyankopɔn anim no rennya anuonyam a ɛboro so ana?
10 Even for (not *N(k)O*) has been glorified that glorified in this respect on account of the surpassing [it] glory.
Nokware mu, Apam Foforo no anuonyam mmoroso nti, mmara a ɛde owu ba no anuonyam ayera.
11 If for that which is fading away [was] through glory, much more [is] that remaining in glory!
Na sɛ anuonyam wɔ biribi a ɛnkyɛ mu a, ade a ɛwɔ hɔ daa no anuonyam bɛyɛ nea ɛso yiye.
12 Having therefore such hope great boldness we use,
Esiane sɛ yɛwɔ saa anidaso yi nti, yɛwɔ akokoduru.
13 and not as Moses was putting a veil over the face (of himself *N(k)O*) for not to look intently the sons of Israel into the end of that fading away;
Yɛnte sɛ Mose a ɔde nkataanim kataa nʼanim sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a Israelfo no renhu nea ɛretwa mu no awiei.
14 But were hardened the minds of them. Until for the present (day *no*) the same veil at the reading of the old covenant remains not being lifted, (for *N(k)O*) in Christ is being removed,
Nanso ntease a wɔannya no nti besi nnɛ yi, sɛ wɔkenkan Apam Dedaw nhoma no a, saa nkataanim no da so kata wɔn adwene so. Ansa na nkataanim no befi hɔ no, gye sɛ wogye Kristo di.
15 But unto this day when (ever *no*) (may be read *N(k)O*) Moses, a veil over the heart of them lies;
Nnɛ yi mpo, bere biara a wɔbɛkenkan Mose mmara no, nkataanim no da so kata wɔn koma so.
16 When however (ever *N(k)O*) [one] shall have turned to [the] Lord, is taken away the veil.
Nanso sɛ obi gye Awurade di a woyi nkataanim no fi hɔ.
17 The now Lord the Spirit is; where now the Spirit of [the] Lord [is] (there *k*) [is] freedom.
Na Awurade ne Honhom no, na baabiara a Awurade Honhom wɔ no ahotɔ wɔ hɔ.
18 We ourselves now all unveiled in face the glory of [the] Lord beholding as in a mirror, the same image are being transformed into from glory to glory even as from [the] Lord [the] Spirit.
Yɛn a nkataanim biara nkata yɛn anim no, Awurade anuonyam hyerɛn wɔ yɛn anim, na Awurade Honhom no sakra yɛn kɔ nʼanuonyam mu.
