< 2 Corinthians 7 >
1 Having, then, these promises, beloved, may we cleanse ourselves from every pollution of flesh and spirit, perfecting sanctification 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 receive us; no one did we wrong; no one did we waste; no one did we defraud;
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 not to condemn you do I say [it], for I have said before that in our hearts ye are to die with and to live with;
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 freedom of speech unto you, great my glory on your behalf; I have been filled with the comfort, I overabound with the joy on all our tribulation,
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 also we, having come to Macedonia, no relaxation hath our flesh had, but on every side we are in tribulation, without [are] fightings, within — fears;
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 but He who is comforting the cast-down — God — He did comfort us in the presence 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 only in his presence, but also in the comfort with which he was comforted over you, declaring to us your longing desire, your lamentation, your zeal for me, so that the more I did rejoice,
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 because even if I made you sorry in the letter, I do not repent — if even I did repent — for I perceive that the letter, even if for an hour, did make you sorry.
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 do rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye were made sorry to reformation, for ye were made sorry toward God, that in nothing ye might receive damage from us;
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 the sorrow toward God reformation to salvation not to be repented of doth work, and the sorrow of the world doth work 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, lo, this same thing — your being made sorry toward God — how much diligence it doth work in you! but defence, but displeasure, but fear, but longing desire, but zeal, but revenge; in every thing ye did approve 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 If, then, I also wrote to you — not for his cause who did wrong, nor for his cause who did suffer wrong, but for our diligence in your behalf being manifested unto you before 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 because of this we have been comforted in your comfort, and more abundantly the more did we rejoice in the joy of Titus, that his spirit hath been refreshed from 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 because if anything to him in your behalf I have boasted, I was not put to shame; but as all things in truth we did speak to you, so also our boasting before Titus became 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 and his tender affection is more abundantly toward you, remembering the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye did receive 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, therefore, that in everything I have courage in 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.
