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.
But concerning the contribution to the saints, as I commanded the churches of Galatia, so you also do.
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.
On the first day of the week let each one of you lay by with himself treasuring up, that as to whatsoever he may be prospered, in order that there may be no collections at that time when I may come.
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.
But when I may be present, whomsoever you may approve by your letters, these will I send to carry away your benefaction to Jerusalem:
4 Eye ne anyo be nye hã mayi kplii la, ekema míate ŋu azɔ afɔ ɖekae.
if it may be counted worthy for me also to go, they shall go along 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 may go through Macedonia; for I do go 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 perhaps I may abide with you, and even spend the winter with you, in order that you may send me forward whithersoever I may 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 wish merely to see you in my journey; for I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord may permit.
8 Manɔ Efeso le afi sia va se ɖe Pentekoste ƒe ŋkekenyui la dzi,
But I shall abide in 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 door is opened unto me great and effectual, and there are many antagonizing.
10 Ne Timoteo va la, mina eƒe mo nadze anyi, elabena ele Aƒetɔ la ƒe dɔ wɔm abe nye ke ene.
But if Timothy may come, see that he may be with you without fear; for he is doing 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.
therefore let no one snub him. But send him forth in peace, in order that he may come to me: for I await him with the brethren.
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.
But concerning brother Apollos, I entreated him much, that he may come to you with the brethren: but it was not altogether his will that he may come now; but he will come when he may have opportunity.
13 Minɔ ŋudzɔ, minɔ tsitre le xɔse me. Minɔ agbe abe kalẽtɔwo ene, eye misẽ ŋu.
Watch, stand in the faith, be men, be strong.
14 Nu sia nu si miawɔ la, miwɔe kple amenuveve kple lɔlɔ̃.
Let all your affairs be in divine 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.
But I exhort you, brethren; (know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruit of Achaia, and they have set themselves to minister unto the saints),
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.
in order that you may indeed be in subjection unto such, and to every one laboring with you and toiling.
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.
But I rejoice over the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus: because they have supplied your deficiency:
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. Acknowledge ye therefore them that are such.
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 churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Prisca along with the church and their house salute you.
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 brethren salute you. Salute you one another with a holy kiss.
21 Nye Paulo, meŋlɔ agbalẽ sia ƒe nya mamlɛtɔwo kple nye ŋutɔ nye asi.
The salutation of me Paul with my own hand.
22 Ame sia ame si melɔ̃a Aƒetɔ la o la, woaƒo fi adee. Aƒetɔ Yesu va!
If any one loves not the Lord as a friend, let him be anathema Maran atha.
23 Aƒetɔ Yesu Kristo ƒe lɔlɔ̃ kple amenuveve nanɔ anyi kpli mi katã.
The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.
24 Metsɔ nye lɔlɔ̃ na mi katã le Kristo Yesu me. Amen.
My love with you all in Christ Jesus.
