Korintotɔwo 1 16

1 Azɔ la, se siwo le ga si dzɔm miele be yewoaɖo ɖe kristotɔ siwo le Yerusalem ŋu la woe nye esiawo. Se siawo ke mede na hame siwo le Galatia.

Now concerning the collection for the sanctified, as I arranged for the congregations of Galatia, so also do ye.

2 Le Kɔsiɖa ɖe sia ɖe gbe la, ele be mia dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe natsɔ ga si wòkpɔ le kɔsiɖa me la ƒe akpa aɖe adzra ɖo, eye wòawɔ eŋu dɔ na nunana sia. Ga home la ku ɖe home si Aƒetɔ la kpe ɖe amea ŋu wòkpɔ la ŋu. Migalala va se ɖe esime mava afi ma hafi miadze agbagba be yewoadzɔ ga home la katã zi ɖeka o.

Upon the first day of the week let each of you set something aside near himself, storing up whatever he may prosper, so that when I come no collections may be made then.

3 Ne meva la, maŋlɔ agbalẽ akpe ɖe miaƒe lɔlɔ̃ ƒe nunana la ŋu aɖo ɖe Yerusalem to dɔla nuteƒewɔla aɖe si miawo ŋutɔ miatia la dzi.

And when I arrive, whomever ye may approve by letters, I will send these men to bring your gift to Jerusalem.

4 Eye ne anyo be nye hã mayi kplii la, ekema míate ŋu azɔ afɔ ɖekae.

And if it is fitting for me to go also, they will go with me.

5 Mayi Makedonia gbã hafi ava kpɔ mi ɖa, ke manɔ afi ma ɣeyiɣi kpui aɖe ko.

But I will come to you when I pass through Macedonia, for I do pass through Macedonia.

6 Ate ŋu ava eme be manɔ miawo gbɔ wòadidi wu, ɖewohĩ le vuvɔŋɔli blibo la katã me, eye miado mɔm mayi teƒe bubu.

And it may be that I will remain with you, or I will even spend winter, so that ye may set me on my way wherever I go.

7 Nyemegadi azɔ be makpɔ mi ɖa ɣeyiɣi kpui aɖe ko eye matso eme o. Medi be mava nɔ anyi sẽe ne Aƒetɔ la aɖe mɔ nam.

For I do not want to see you now in passing, but I hope to remain some time with you, if the Lord allows.

8 Manɔ Efeso le afi sia va se ɖe Pentekoste ƒe ŋkekenyui la dzi,

But I will remain at Ephesus until Pentecost.

9 elabena mɔnukpɔkpɔ tɔxɛ aɖe li nam be magblɔ mawunya eye mafia nu le afi sia. Mɔnukpɔkpɔ geɖewo li, ke futɔwo hã sɔ gbɔ.

For a great and effective door has opened to me, and yet there are many who are hostile.

10 Ne Timoteo va la, mina eƒe mo nadze anyi, elabena ele Aƒetɔ la ƒe dɔ wɔm abe nye ke ene.

But if Timothy comes, see that he becomes without fear with you, for he works the work of the Lord, as I also.

11 Migana ame aɖeke nado vloe alo agbe toɖoɖoe o, ke mina wòakpɔ dzidzɔ le ɣeyiɣi si wòanɔ mia dome la me, eye miaɖoe ɖem le ŋutifafa me. Mele mɔ kpɔm be makpɔ eya kple nɔvi bubu siwo trɔ gbɔna la kaba.

Let not any man therefore disparage him, but send him forth in peace, so that he may come to me, for I expect him with the brothers.

12 Meɖe kuku na mía nɔvi Apolo be eya kple nɔvia bubuwo nava kpɔ mi ɖa, ke ebu be menye Mawu ƒe ɖoɖo wònye na ye be yeayi fifia o. Ava mia gbɔ emegbe ne mɔnu aɖe ʋu nɛ.

And about Apollos the brother, I urged him much that he would come to you with the brothers, and it was not at all his will that he should come now, but he will come when he has opportunity.

13 Minɔ ŋudzɔ, minɔ tsitre le xɔse me. Minɔ agbe abe kalẽtɔwo ene, eye misẽ ŋu.

Watch ye, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.

14 Nu sia nu si miawɔ la, miwɔe kple amenuveve kple lɔlɔ̃.

Let all things of you be done in love.

15 Mele nu xlɔ̃m mi, nɔviwo. Mieɖoa ŋku Stefano kple eƒe ƒomea dzia? Woawoe nye ame gbãtɔ siwo zu kristotɔwo le Akaya eye wole kpekpeɖeŋu geɖe nam kristotɔwo le afi sia afi.

Now I beseech you, brothers (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the first fruit of Achaia, and that they committed themselves to service for the sanctified),

16 Miwɔ nu siwo woaɖo na mi, eye miwɔ nu sia nu si miate ŋui la be miakpe ɖe wo kple ame bubu siwo katã tsɔ wo ɖokuiwo sa vɔe abe woawo ke ene, eye wowɔa dɔ sesĩe le mia dome la ŋu.

that ye also be subject to such men, and to every man working together and laboring.

17 Mekpɔ dzidzɔ ŋutɔ be Stefano, Fortunatus kple Akaiko va ɖo mía gbɔ be yewoakpɔ mí ɖa. Wole kpekpeɖeŋudɔ siwo miele afi sia awɔ nam o la wɔm nam ɖe mia teƒe.

And I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus, because these men filled your lack.

18 Wodo dzidzɔ geɖe nam, eye wode dzi ƒo nam ŋutɔ. Meka ɖe edzi be nenema ke wowɔ na miawo hã. Mexɔe se be miekpɔ ŋudzedze le ame siawo kple ame bubu siwo le abe woawo ke ene la ƒe dɔwɔwɔ ŋu.

For they refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore acknowledge ye such men.

19 Hame siwo le Asia afi sia la do gbe na mi. Akwila kple Priskila kple ame bubu siwo katã kpea ta le woƒe aƒe me hena sɔlemedede la hã do gbe na mi le Aƒetɔ la me.

The congregations of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the congregation associated with their house.

20 Nɔvi siwo katã le afi sia la bia tso asinye be mado gbe na mi na yewo. Mido gbe na mia nɔewo kple lɔlɔ̃ si dze la ne miedo go.

All the brothers salute you. Salute each other by a holy kiss.

21 Nye Paulo, meŋlɔ agbalẽ sia ƒe nya mamlɛtɔwo kple nye ŋutɔ nye asi.

The salutation of Paul by my hand.

22 Ame sia ame si melɔ̃a Aƒetɔ la o la, woaƒo fi adee. Aƒetɔ Yesu va!

If any man does not love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be accursed. Maranatha.

23 Aƒetɔ Yesu Kristo ƒe lɔlɔ̃ kple amenuveve nanɔ anyi kpli mi katã.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ is with you.

24 Metsɔ nye lɔlɔ̃ na mi katã le Kristo Yesu me. Amen.

My love is with you all in Christ Jesus. Truly.
