2 Corinthians 7
1 Having therefore these promises, beloved, let’s cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
Ke azɔ nɔvinye lɔlɔ̃tɔwo, esi Mawu do ŋugbe gã siawo na mí ta la, mina míadzudzɔ nu gbegblẽ wɔwɔ, eye míate ɖa xaa tso nu siwo ƒoa ɖi míaƒe ŋutilã kple gbɔgbɔ la gbɔ, eye míanɔ agbe kɔkɔewo to Aƒetɔ la vɔvɔ̃ me, alé eƒe nyawo me ɖe asi sesĩe.
2 Open your hearts to us. We wronged no one. We corrupted no one. We took advantage of no one.
Le míaƒe dɔwɔwɔ me kpli mi la, míekplɔ ame aɖeke to mɔtatra aɖeke dzi o, míeba ame aɖeke alo gblẽ ame aɖeke ƒe naneke o, eya ta miʋu miaƒe dziwo ƒe ʋɔtruwo ne miaxɔ mí ɖe wo me.
3 I say this not to condemn you, for I have said before that you are in our hearts to die together and live together.
Nyemele esiawo gblɔm be matsɔ fɔbubu aɖeke ada ɖe mia dzi o, elabena megblɔ va yi xoxo be mena teƒe mi le nye dzi me tegbee be manɔ agbe kpli mi, eye maku hã kpli mi.
4 Great is my boldness of speech towards you. Great is my boasting on your behalf. I am filled with comfort. I overflow with joy in all our affliction.
Meɖoa dzi ɖe mia ŋu ŋutɔ, eye medana ɖe mia dzi hã ŋutɔ, eye togbɔ be nuxaxa kple vevesese geɖe le dzinye hã la, ne meɖo ŋku mia dzi ko la, dzideƒo ɖoa asinye eye dzidzɔ yɔa menye taŋtaŋtaŋ.
5 For even when we had come into Macedonia, our flesh had no relief, but we were afflicted on every side. Fightings were outside. Fear was inside.
Míekpɔ ŋutifafa aɖeke esi míeva ɖo Makedonia o, fukpekpewo sɔŋ koe ƒo xlã mí. Amewo do dzre na mí to mɔ ɖe sia ɖe dzi, eye vɔvɔ̃ kple ŋɔdzi yɔ mía me fũu ŋutɔ.
6 Nevertheless, he who comforts the lowly, God, comforted us by the coming of Titus,
Ke Mawu, ame si ŋutɔ dea dzi ƒo na ame siwo ƒo dzi ɖe le la de dzi ƒo na míawo hã esi Tito va ɖo mía gbɔ.
7 and not by his coming only, but also by the comfort with which he was comforted in you while he told us of your longing, your mourning, and your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced still more.
Menye esi wòva ɖo mía gbɔ dedie la ɖeɖe koe na be míekpɔ dzidzɔ o, ke boŋ nya siwo keŋ wògagblɔ nam tso mia ŋuti tae; ale si miexɔe nyuie, ale si wònye miaƒe didi be yewoakpɔm, eye ale si wòve mi ŋutɔ be mele fu geɖe kpem kple ale si miele klalo be yewoalé nu siwo mefia mi la ko me ɖe asi la na megli kple dzidzɔ.
8 For though I grieved you with my letter, I do not regret it, though I did regret it. For I see that my letter made you grieve, though just for a while.
Fifia la, megavem be meŋlɔ agbalẽ sesẽ ma ɖo ɖe mi o, togbɔ be mexa nu geɖe le eŋu le gɔmedzedzea me hã la, menya be miawo hã miexa nu ɣeyiɣi kpui aɖe ko.
9 I now rejoice, not that you were grieved, but that you were grieved to repentance. For you were grieved in a godly way, that you might suffer loss by us in nothing.
Azɔ la, mekpɔ dzidzɔ manyagblɔ aɖe be meɖo agbalẽ ma ɖe mi. Nyemele dzidzɔ kpɔm be miexa nu o, ke boŋ be agbalẽ la na miedzudzɔ agbe vlowo nɔnɔ, eye mieva Aƒetɔ la gbɔ. Mawu ŋutɔe to dzinye ŋlɔ agbalẽ ma na mi be miadzudzɔ nu vɔ̃ wɔwɔ, eya ta menye míawoe na miexa nu o.
10 For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, which brings no regret. But the sorrow of the world produces death.
Elabena ɣe aɖewo ɣi la, Mawu nana míexaa nu be míadze si míaƒe nu vɔ̃wo eye míadzudzɔ nu vɔ̃ɖi wɔwɔ, eye míadi agbe mavɔ la. Ke ne ame aɖe xa nu vevie le eya ŋutɔ ƒe agbe vlo nɔnɔ ta, gake metrɔ dzi me o la, ahe ku vɛ.
11 For behold, this same thing, that you were grieved in a godly way, what earnest care it worked in you. Yes, what defence, indignation, fear, longing, zeal, and vindication! In everything you demonstrated yourselves to be pure in the matter.
Miawo ŋutɔ mikpɔ ɖa, nenem nuxaxa sia si miexa ɖe Mawu ƒe didi nu la he vevidodo geɖe vɛ na mi. Ena mieku kutri, eye mietsi dzimaɖi be yewoatsri nu vɔ̃ si ŋu meƒo nu le na mi la wɔwɔ. Vɔvɔ̃ ɖo mi le nuwɔna ma ta eye miedi gɔ̃ hã be mava kpe ɖe yewo ŋuti le nya sia me. Miehe to na ame siwo wɔ nu gbegblẽ sia hã vevie, eye mieɖe mia ɖokui fia be miede nu si wowɔ la dzi o.
12 So although I wrote to you, I wrote not for his cause that did the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered the wrong, but that your earnest care for us might be revealed in you in the sight of God.
Eya ta ɖe meŋlɔ agbalẽ la koŋ be Mawu naɖe ale si melɔ̃a mi la afia, ke menye ɖe ame si wɔ vɔ̃ sia alo ame si ŋuti wowɔ vɔ̃ sia ɖo la ta o, ke boŋ be miaƒe veviedodo nu ɖe mía ta nadze ƒãa le mia dome le Mawu ƒe ŋkume.
13 Therefore we have been comforted. In our comfort we rejoiced the more exceedingly for the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed by you all.
Hekpe ɖe dzideƒo si miena mí to lɔlɔ̃ si mieɖe fia mí la ŋu la, míegakpɔ dzidzɔ geɖe hã le ale si miexɔ Tito kple nu nyui siwo katã miewɔ nɛ be eƒe dzi dze eme la ta.
14 For if in anything I have boasted to him on your behalf, I was not disappointed. But as we spoke all things to you in truth, so our glorying also which I made before Titus was found to be truth.
Hafi Tito nadzo le gbɔnye la, metsɔ mi ƒo adegbe nɛ, eye meɖi ɖase nyui le mia ŋuti nɛ, eye vavã miewɔ nu siwo megblɔ nɛ tso mia ŋuti la hã nɛ. Abe ale si metoa nyateƒe na mi le nu sia nu me ene la, nenema ke megblɔ nyateƒe tso mia ŋuti na Tito hã.
15 His affection is more abundantly towards you, while he remembers all of your obedience, how with fear and trembling you received him.
Azɔ ne Tito hã ɖo ŋku ale si mieɖo toe le nu si wòfia mi me, ale si mieɖe lɔlɔ̃ fiae kple ale si miexɔe kple dzi blibo dzi la, enana be eya hã ƒe lɔlɔ̃ na mi gadzina ɖe edzi.
16 I rejoice that in everything I am confident concerning you.
Ke esi menya be ɖekawɔwɔ kple lɔlɔ̃ gaɖo mía dome azɔ la, ena be nye hã mekpɔ dzidzɔ blibo, eye megaɖo ŋu ɖe mia ŋu le nu sia nu me.
