< 1 Thessalonians 2 >
1 For, britheren, ye witen oure entre to you, for it was not veyn;
Anuanom, mo ankasa monim sɛ nsra a yɛbɛsraa mo no anyɛ ɔkwa.
2 but first we suffriden, and weren punyschid with wrongis, as ye witen in Filippis, and hadden trust in oure Lord, to speke to you the gospel of God in myche bisynesse.
Monim ayayadeɛ a wɔyɛɛ yɛn ne ɔyea a wɔyaa yɛn wɔ Filipi ansa na yɛreba mo nkyɛn wɔ Tesalonika. Ɛwom sɛ na nnipa bi tia yɛn deɛ, nanso yɛn Onyankopɔn hyɛɛ yɛn den maa yɛkaa Asɛmpa a ɛfiri ne mu no.
3 And oure exortacioun is not of errour, nether of vnclennesse, nether in gile,
Asɛmpa a yɛka kyerɛɛ mo no mfiri adwemmɔne anaa nnaadaa mu, na mmom, deɛ yɛkaeɛ no yɛ nokorɛ turodoo.
4 but as we ben preued of God, that the gospel of God schulde be takun to vs, so we speken; not as plesynge to men, but to God that preueth oure hertis.
Daa yɛka nokorɛ sɛdeɛ Onyankopɔn hwehwɛ yɛn sɛ yɛnka no, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔpene so na ɔde Asɛmpa no nso ama yɛn sɛ yɛnka. Yɛmpɛ sɛ yɛsɔ nnipa ani, na mmom, Onyankopɔn a ɔsɔ yɛn adwene hwɛ no ani na yɛpɛ sɛ yɛsɔ.
5 For nether we weren ony tyme in word of glosing, as ye witen, nether in occasioun of auerise; God is witnesse; nether sekinge glorie of men,
Monim pefee sɛ yɛamma ha sɛ yɛrebɛka nnaadaasɛm akyerɛ mo anaasɛ yɛrebɛka nsɛm sikanibereɛ so. Onyankopɔn ne yɛn adanseɛ.
Sɛ moyɛ Kristo asomafoɔ no enti, anka yɛwɔ ho kwan sɛ yɛpɛ animuonyam firi mo nkyɛn, nanso yɛmmisaa animuonyam mfirii mo anaasɛ onipa foforɔ bi nkyɛn.
7 nether of othere, whanne we, as Cristis apostlis, miyten haue be in charge to you. But we weren maad litle in the myddil of you, as if a nursche fostre hir sones;
Na yɛwɔ mo nkyɛn no, na yɛne mo te ɔdwoɔ so, sɛdeɛ ɔbaatan korɔkorɔ ne mma.
8 so we desiringe you with greet loue, wolden haue bitake to you, not oneli the gospel of God, but also oure lyues, for ye ben maad most dereworthe to vs.
Yɛhwɛɛ mo yie, nyaa mo ho anigyeɛ sononko, mpo yɛdaa yɛn ho so sɛ yɛde yɛn nkwa bɛto hɔ ama mo ɛberɛ a yɛde Onyankopɔn Asɛmpa no brɛɛ mo no.
9 For, britheren, ye ben myndeful of oure trauel and werynesse; we worchiden nyyt and day, that we schulden not greue ony of you, and prechiden to you the euangelie of God.
Anuanom, menim sɛ mokae adwuma a yɛyɛeɛ ne brɛ a yɛbrɛeɛ. Yɛyɛɛ adwuma awia ne anadwo sɛdeɛ Onyankopɔn Asɛmpa no ka a yɛka kyerɛɛ mo no, yɛremfa ɔhaw bi mmɛto mo so.
10 God and ye ben witnessis, hou holili, and iustli, and with outen pleynt, we weren to you that bileueden.
Mo ne Onyankopɔn yɛ yɛn adansefoɔ. Yɛn suban a yɛdaa no adi kyerɛɛ mo a mogyee Asɛmpa no diiɛ no yɛ kronn a ɛyɛ na mfomsoɔ biara nni ho.
11 As ye witen, hou we preyeden you, and coumfortiden ech of you, as the fadir hise sones,
Mo ara monim sɛ yɛne mo tenaa sɛdeɛ agya ne nʼankasa mma tena.
12 and we han witnessid, that ye schulden go worthili to God, that clepide you in to his kingdom and glorie.
Yɛhyɛɛ mo nkuran; yɛkyekyeree mo werɛ na yɛkɔɔ so tuu mo fo sɛ montena ase wɔ ɛkwan a ɛsɔ Onyankopɔn a ɔfrɛ mo wɔ nʼAhennie ne nʼanimuonyam mu no so.
13 Therfor we doon thankingis to God with outen ceessyng. For whanne ye hadden take of vs the word `of the heryng of God, ye token it not as the word of men, but as `it is verili, the word of God, that worchith in you that han bileued.
Daa yɛbɛda Onyankopɔn ase wɔ saa asɛm yi ho. Ɛberɛ a yɛkaa Onyankopɔn asɛm kyerɛɛ mo no, motieeɛ, gye dii sɛ ɛnyɛ asɛm a ɛfiri onipa nkyɛn, na mmom, ampa ara sɛ, ɛfiri Onyankopɔn nkyɛn. Mo a moagye adi no, Onyankopɔn yɛ adwuma wɔ mo mu.
14 For, britheren, ye ben maad foleweris of the chirchis of God, that ben in Jude, in Crist Jhesu, for ye han suffrid the same thingis of youre euene lynagis, as thei of the Jewis.
Anuanom, nsɛm a ɛtotoo Onyankopɔn asafo a na ɛwowɔ Yudea ne nnipa a wɔwɔ hɔ a na wɔyɛ Kristo Yesu nkurɔfoɔ no bi ara na ato mo yi. Ɔtaa a mo ara mo manfoɔ taa mo no, saa ara na Yudafoɔ no nso taa asafo no.
15 Whiche slowen bothe the Lord Jhesu and the profetis, and pursueden vs, and thei plesen not to God, and thei ben aduersaries to alle men;
Saa nnipa no kumm Awurade Yesu ne adiyifoɔ no, na wɔtaa yɛn nso. Onyankopɔn ani nsɔ wɔn, na wɔne nnipa di asi ɛberɛ biara.
16 forbedinge vs to speke to hethene men, that thei be maad saaf, that thei fille her synnes euere more; for the wraththe of God cam on hem in to the ende.
Wɔbɔ mmɔden sɛ wɔbɛsi yɛn kwan sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a yɛrentumi nkɔka asɛm a ɛbɛma amanamanmufoɔ no nkwagyeɛ nkyerɛ wɔn. Yei ma wɔn bɔne kɔɔ so daa. Na Onyankopɔn abufuo wɔ wɔn so.
17 And, britheren, we desolat fro you for a tyme, bi mouth and in biholding, but not in herte, han hiyed more plenteuousli to se youre face with greet desir.
Me nnamfonom, ɛberɛ tiawa bi mu no, yɛantumi amma mo nkyɛn, nanso ɛberɛ biara na yɛdwene mo ho. Yɛpɛɛ sɛ yɛhunu mo, na yɛbɔɔ mmɔden biara sɛ yɛbɛhyia mo ankasa.
18 For we wolden come to you, yhe, Y Poul, onys and eftsoone, but Sathanas lettide vs.
Yɛpɛɛ sɛ yɛbɛsane aba mo nkyɛn. Me Paulo deɛ, na mepɛ sɛ meba hɔ boro pɛnkorɔ nanso ɔbonsam sii yɛn ho ɛkwan.
19 For whi what is oure hope, or ioye, or coroun of glorie? Whether ye ben not bifore oure Lord Jhesu Crist in his comyng?
Nanso, ne nyinaa akyi no, mo nko ara ne yɛn anidasoɔ ne yɛn ahosɛpɛ. Na sɛ yɛbɛtumi ahoahoa yɛn ho nkonimdie mu wɔ Awurade Yesu anim wɔ ne ba no mu a, ɛgyina mo so.
20 For ye ben oure glorie and ioye.
Nokorɛm, yɛn ahohoahoa ne yɛn ahosɛpɛ gyina mo so.
