2 Corinthians 1

1 Paul, an Apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God--and our brother Timothy: To the Church of God in Corinth, with all God's people throughout Greece.

Saa krataa yi fi Paulo a Onyankopɔn ayi no sɛ Kristo Yesu somafo no ne Timoteo a ɔyɛ yɛn nuanom no mu baako nkyɛn, Wɔde saa krataa yi rekɔma Onyankopɔn asafo a ɛwɔ Korinto ne ahotefo a wɔwɔ Akaiaman mu no nyinaa:

2 May grace and peace be granted to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Adom ne asomdwoe a efi yɛn Agya Onyankopɔn ne Awurade Yesu Kristo nka mo.

3 Heartfelt thanks be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ--the Father who is full of compassion and the God who gives all comfort.

Momma yɛnna Onyankopɔn a ɔyɛ yɛn Awurade Yesu Kristo Agya a ɔyɛ mmɔborɔhunu Agya na ɔyɛ Onyankopɔn a awerɛkyekye nyinaa fi no no ase.

4 He comforts us in our every affliction so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any kind of affliction by means of the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

Ɔkyekye yɛn werɛ wɔ yɛn amane nyinaa mu na yɛnam awerɛkyekye a yɛn ankasa anya afi Onyankopɔn nkyɛn no so atumi akyekye afoforo a wɔwɔ amane ahorow mu no werɛ.

5 For just as we have more than our share of suffering for the Christ, so also through the Christ we have more than our share of comfort.

Sɛnea yɛahu amane wɔ Kristo mu no, saa ara nso na yenya Kristo awerɛkyekye a ɛdɔɔso no.

6 But if, on the one hand, we are enduring affliction, it is for your comfort and salvation; and if, on the other hand, we are receiving comfort, it is for your comfort which is produced within you through your patient fortitude under the same sufferings as those which we also are enduring.

Mo awerɛkyekye ne mo nkwagye nti yehu amane. Efisɛ sɛ Kristo kyekye yɛn werɛ a yɛn nso yɛnam so betumi akyekye mo werɛ. Ɛno bɛma moanya ntoboase ahu amane sɛ yɛn nso.

7 And our hope for you is stedfast; for we know that as you are partners with us in the sufferings, so you are also partners in the comfort.

Enti gyidi a yɛwɔ wɔ mo mu no nhinhim. Yenim sɛ, sɛnea mo ne yɛn hu amane no, saa ara nso na munya awerɛkyekye a yenya no bi.

8 For as for our troubles which came upon us in the province of Asia, we would have you know, brethren, that we were exceedingly weighed down, and felt overwhelmed, so that we renounced all hope even of life.

Anuanom, yɛpɛ sɛ yɛtwe mo adwene ba ɔhaw a ɛtoo yɛn wɔ Asia mantam mu no so. Amane a yɛfaa mu no so, na na emu yɛ duru enti yɛn asetena mu anidaso nyinaa yerae.

9 Nay, we had, as we still have, the sentence of death within our own selves, in order that our confidence may repose, not on ourselves, but on God who raised the dead to life.

Nokware mu, yegye too mu sɛ yɛrebewu. Saa asɛm yi sii, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a yɛremfa yɛn ho nto yɛn ankasa so, na mmom yɛde yɛn ho bɛto Onyankopɔn a ɔma awufo sɔre no so.

10 He it is who rescued us from so imminent a death, and will do so again; and we have a firm hope in Him that He will also rescue us in all the future,

Wayi yɛn afi saa owu amanehunu yi mu na ɔbɛkɔ so agye yɛn. Ɔno na yɛde yɛn ani ato no so sɛ, sɛ mokɔ so bɔ mpae ma yɛn a,

11 while you on your part lend us your aid in entreaty for us, so that from many lips thanksgivings may rise on our behalf for the boon granted to us at the intercession of many.

obegye yɛn bio. Eyi kyerɛ sɛ obebua mpae dodow biara a mobɔ ma yɛn no, na Onyankopɔn behyira yɛn, na dodow no ara ama wɔn nne so de ada no ase ama yɛn.

12 For the reason for our boasting is this--the testimony of our own conscience that it was in holiness and with pure motives before God, and in reliance not on worldly wisdom but on the gracious help of God, that we have conducted ourselves in the world, and above all in our relations with you.

Yɛhoahoa yɛn ho sɛ yɛn ahonim mmu yɛn fɔ, yɛatena ase nokwaredi mu, ne titiriw ne bere a yɛwɔ mo nkyɛn no. Ɛnyɛ wiase nyansa na ɛkyerɛ yɛn kwan. Mmom, yɛn akwankyerɛ fi Onyankopɔn adom no mu.

13 For we are writing to you nothing different from what we have written before, or from what indeed you already recognize as truth and will, I trust, recognize as such to the very end;

Nsɛm a mubetumi akenkan ate ase nko na yɛkyerɛw de brɛ mo. Mewɔ anidaso sɛ mobɛte biribiara a

14 just as some few of you have recognized us as your reason for boasting, even as you will be ours, on the day of Jesus our Lord.

monte ase yiye no ase daakye sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a da a Awurade Yesu bɛba no, mode yɛn bɛhoahoa mo ho na yɛn nso yɛde mo ahoahoa yɛn ho.

15 It was because I entertained this confidence that I intended to visit you before going elsewhere--so that you might receive a twofold proof of God's favour--

Na minim sɛ saa asɛm yi bɛba mu. Ɛno nti na mehyehyɛɛ sɛ mɛba abɛsra mo na moanya nhyira mprenu.

16 and to pass by way of Corinth into Macedonia. Then my plan was to return from Macedonia to you, and be helped forward by you to Judaea.

Meyɛɛ mʼadwene sɛ, sɛ merekɔ Makedonia a mɛba mo nkyɛn, na meresan nso a, mafa mo nkyɛn ansa na makɔ Yudea.

17 Did I display any vacillation or caprice in this? Or the purposes which I form--do I form them on worldly principles, now crying "Yes, yes," and now "No, no"?

Modwene sɛ mantumi ansi mʼadwene pi wɔ nea ɛsɛ sɛ meyɛ hoa ana? Anaasɛ mete sɛ obi a ɔka se “Yiw” anaa “Dabi” sɛnea ɛbɛsɔ afoforo ani?

18 As certainly as God is faithful, our language to you is not now "Yes" and now "No."

Onyankopɔn yɛ ɔnokwafo. Enti sɛ meka se yɛn mmuae yɛ “Yiw” bere biara a ɛyɛ “Yiw”, ɛnyɛ “Dabi” da.

19 For Jesus Christ the Son of God--He who was proclaimed among you by us, that is by Silas and Timothy and myself--did not show Himself a waverer between "Yes" and "No." But it was and always is "Yes" with Him.

Efisɛ Yesu Kristo, Onyankopɔn Ba no a me Paulo, Silas ne Timoteo kaa ne ho asɛm kyerɛɛ mo no nsesa. Ɔnka “Yiw” ne “Dabi” da. Bere biara odi nʼasɛm so.

20 For all the promises of God, whatever their number, have their confirmation in Him; and for this reason through Him also our "Amen" acknowledges their truth and promotes the glory of God through our faith.

Ɔno mu na Onyankopɔn bɔhyɛ nyinaa awie pɛyɛ. Eyi nti yɛnam Yesu Kristo so ka “Amen” de hyɛ Onyankopɔn anuonyam.

21 But He who is making us as well as you stedfast through union with the Anointed One, and has anointed us, is God,

Afei Onyankopɔn no ankasa na ɔma yɛne mo tumi gyina pintinn wɔ Kristo mu. Ɔno na ɔsraa yɛn

22 and He has also set His seal upon us, and has put His Spirit into our hearts as a pledge and foretaste of future blessing.

faa yɛn sɛ ne de, na ɔde ne Honhom Kronkron no hyɛɛ yɛn koma mu de sii nea ɔwɔ ma yɛn nyinaa so dua.

23 But as for me, as my soul shall answer for it, I appeal to God as my witness, that it was to spare you pain that I gave up my visit to Corinth.

Mefrɛ Onyankopɔn sɛ mʼadanse. Onim me koma mu. Sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a mubenya kwan agye mo ahome nti na mankɔ Korinto no.

24 Not that we want to lord it over you in respect of your faith--we do, however, desire to help your joy--for in the matter of your faith you are standing firm.

Ɛnyɛ yɛn adwene ne sɛ yɛbɛhyɛ mo ama moagye biribi adi, na mmom mo ahotɔ nti na yɛne mo yɛ adwuma. Efisɛ ɛnam mo ankasa gyidi so na mubegyina pintinn.
