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 what is collected for the saints, as I have instructed the churches of Galatia, so also do you.

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 each first day of the week let every one of you at his own house lay by and keep something of that which cometh unto his hands, lest when I come there be then collections.

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 come, those whom you shall choose, them will I send with an epistle, that they may take your bounty to Urishlem.

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

But if it be a fit work that I too go (thither), they also shall 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 shall have passed (round) from Makedunia: for I pass unto it, unto Makedunia.

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 also I may remain with you, or I may winter with you, that you may lead me on to the place to which I shall 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 will not now see you as I pass the way; for I hope to abide a time with you, if my Lord permit me.

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

For I remain at Ephesos until the 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 door is opened to me, which is full of labours, and the opposers are many.

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

But if Timotheos come among you, see that he may be with you without fear; for he doeth the work of the Lord, as I.

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.

Wherefore let no man despise him, but conduct him in peace, that he may come to me; for I wait for 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 of Apolo, my brethren, I begged much to come to you with the brethren; nevertheless it was not his will to come to you; but when there shall be opportunity he will come to you.

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

WATCH, and stand in the faith; be manful and be strong.

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

And let all your affairs 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.

But I entreat of you, my brethren, for the house of Stephano, because you know they are the first-fruits of Akaia, and have disposed themselves for the service of 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.

that you be submissive to such as they, and to every one who laboureth with us and helpeth.

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 am glad of the coming of Stephano, and of Fortunatos, and of Akaiakos, because your deficiency with me they have fulfilled.

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 have refreshed my spirit and yours. Wherefore acknowledge those who 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.

All the churches of Asia ask for your peace; Akilos and Priskila, with the church which is in their house, ask for your peace greatly in our Lord.

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 ask for your peace. Ask the peace of one another with the holy kiss.

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

Peace, by the writing of my hand, of PAULOS.

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

Whosoever loveth not our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, let him be accursed. Our Lord cometh.

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

The grace of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha be with you.

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

And my love be with you all in the Meshiha Jeshu Amen.
