Korintotɔwo 2 1
1 Nye, Paulo, ame si Mawu ŋutɔ tia be manye Yesu Kristo ƒe dɔla kple nɔvinye, xɔsetɔ Timoteo gbɔe agbalẽ sia tso, Na Mawu ƒe hame si le Korinto kple ame kɔkɔe siwo katã le Akaya:
Paul, an Apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, and Timothy, the brother, to the congregation of God which is in Corinth, together with all the saints who are in all Achaia:
2 Amenuveve kple ŋutifafa si tso Mawu, mía Fofo kple Aƒetɔ Yesu Kristo gbɔ la nanɔ anyi kpli mi.
Favor to you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Woakafu Mawu, ame si nye míaƒe Aƒetɔ Yesu Kristo Fofo, nublanuikpɔkpɔ Fofo kple akɔfafa katã ƒe Mawu la,
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies, and the God of all consolation!
4 ame si fa akɔ na mí le míaƒe xaxawo katã me, ale be míawo hã míate ŋu afa akɔ na ame siwo le xaxa me kple akɔfafa si míawo ŋutɔ míexɔ tso Mawu gbɔ.
who comforts us in all out affliction, that we may be able to comfort them who are in any affliction, by the consolation with which they are comforted of God.
5 Abe ale si Kristo ƒe fukpekpewo gena ɖe míaƒe agbe mee ene la, nenema ke to Kristo me míaƒe akɔfafa hã gbã goe.
For as the sufferings for Christ abound in us, also, our consolation abounds through Christ.
6 Ne míexaxa la, miawo ƒe akɔfafa kple ɖeɖe tae; ke ne wofa akɔ na mí la, miawo ƒe akɔfafa tae. Esia dea dzigbɔgbɔ blewuu mia me be miawo hã mietea ŋu kpea fu siwo miekpena.
Now, whether we are afflicted, it is for your comfort, and salvation; or whether we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which is effected by enduring the same sufferings which we also suffer.
7 Míaƒe mɔkpɔkpɔ na mi li ke goŋgoŋgoŋ, elabena míenya be abe ale si miekpɔ gome le míaƒe fukpekpewo me ene la, nenema ke miakpɔ gome le míaƒe akɔfafa hã me.
And out hope of you is steadfast, knowing that, as you are partakers of the sufferings, so shall you be also of the comfort.
8 Nɔvi lɔlɔ̃tɔwo, mebu be ele be magblɔ fu siwo míekpe le Asia la na mi. Woƒo mí, eye wowɔ fu mí ale gbegbe be míawo ŋutɔ gɔ̃ hã míebu mɔkpɔkpɔ ɖe sia ɖe be míatsi agbe.
Wherefore, brethren, we would not have you ignorant concerning our affliction, which happened to us in Asia; that we were exceedingly pressed above our strength, insomuch as we despaired even of life.
9 Míebu be míedze na ku elabena míekpɔ be wɔna aɖeke meganɔ mía ŋu o, gake míetsɔ nu sia nu gblẽ ɖe Mawu si tea ŋu wɔa nu sia nu, eye wòfɔa ame kukuwo gɔ̃ hã tso yɔdo me la ƒe asi me.
Nay, more, we ourselves had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we might not trust in ourselves, but in God, who raises the dead;
10 Vavã, Mawu ɖe mí tso ku dziŋɔ aɖe me, ale míetsɔ míaƒe mɔkpɔkpɔ da ɖe edzi be aɖe mí tso fukpekpe ɖe sia ɖe me ɖaa.
who delivered us from so great a death, and does deliver; in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us;
11 Eya ta mi katã miwɔ ɖeka ne miado gbe ɖa ɖe mía ta vevie. Zi ale si miedo gbe ɖa eye mieɖe kuku ɖe mía ta la, zi nenema ke miagada akpe na Aƒetɔ la ɖe eƒe amenuveve si na be míenɔ dedie la ta.
you, also, laboring together in prayer for us, that the gift to us from many persons, may, by many, be acknowledged with thanksgiving for us.
12 Ke míawo hã, adegbe si míaƒe dzitsinya nana míeƒona lae nye be míeléa mía ɖokuiwo nyuie le xexe sia me, eye le mia dome hã la, míewɔ mía ɖokuiwo dzadzɛe, eye míetoa nyateƒe le nu sia nu me. Ke menye míawo ŋutɔ ƒe ŋusẽ mee míewɔ esiawo le o, ke boŋ wo katã tso Mawu ƒe amenuveve me.
For this is our glorying--the testimony of our conscience, that with godly simplicity and sincerity, (not with fleshly wisdom, but by the favor of God, ) we have behaved ourselves in the world, and more abundantly among you.
13 Elabena míeŋlɔ nya bubu aɖeke na mi, si miate ŋu axlẽ alo ase egɔme o. Mele mɔ kpɔm be,
For we write no other things to you than what you read, and also acknowledge; and I hope that you will acknowledge, even to the end;
14 abe ale si miese míaƒe nya gɔme afã kple afãe ene la, miava se egɔme blibo ale be miate ŋu aƒo adegbe le mía ŋu abe ale si míaƒoe le mia ŋu le Aƒetɔ Yesu ƒe ŋkeke la dzi ene.
seeing, indeed, you have acknowledged us in part, that we are your boasting, even as you also are ours, in the day of the Lord Jesus.
15 Esi meka ɖe miaƒe nugɔmesese dzi tae medi be mava mia gbɔ gbã le nye mɔzɔzɔ me, ale be miagaxɔ yayra ɖe yayra dzi.
And in this persuasions I purposed to come to you first, that you might have a second gift;
16 Tso mia gbɔ la, mayi Makedonia eye ne metrɔ tso Makedonia la, magava to mia gbɔ ale miado mɔm ne medzo yina Yudea.
and from you to pass through into Macedonia, and from Macedonia to come again to you, and by you to be sent forward into Judea.
17 Ɖewohĩ mianɔ biabiam be ɖe metrɔ ɖoɖo si mewɔ gbã la alo ɖe mele nu wɔm abe xexea me tɔ siwo menya Kristo o, ne nya la nye “ɛ̃” la, wogblɔna be, “ao” ene mahã?
Having, then, purposed this, did I, indeed, use levity? or the things which I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh; so that with me there should be yes, yes, and no, no?
18 Gbeɖe, mele eme nenema o. Abe ale si Mawu nye nyateƒetɔ ene la, nyemenye ame ma ƒomevi o. Nye “ɛ̃” nye “ɛ̃.”
But as God is faithful, certainly our word, which was to you, was not yes and no.
19 Elabena Mawu ƒe Vi, Yesu Kristo, ame si ŋu nye Paulo, Silvano kple Timoteo míeɖe gbeƒã le na mi la, menye ame si ne nya la nye “ɛ̃” la, wògblɔ be, “ao” o. Aƒetɔ Yesu Kristo wɔna ɖe nu sia nu si wògblɔ la ko dzi.
For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was proclaimed to you by us, even by me and Sylvanus, and Timothy, was not yes and no; but in him was yes.
20 Aƒetɔ Yesu Kristo kpɔna hã be Mawu ƒe ŋugbedodo ɖe sia ɖe va eme pɛpɛpɛ. Ne ŋugbedodoawo wu akpe nanewo hã la, wovaa eme, eye miegblɔa “Amen” to Kristo dzi hena Mawu ƒe kafukafu.
And whatever promises are of God, were through him yes, and through him amen, to the glory of God, by us.
21 Medi be wòanɔ susu me na mi be Mawue wɔ mí kple miawo hã bena míezu kristotɔ vavãwo eye wòtia mí abe eƒe apostolowo ene be míaɖe gbeƒã nyanyui la.
Now, he who establishes us with you in Christ, and who has anointed us, in God:
22 Eya ame si de dzesi mí abe viawo ene eye wòtsɔ Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe la de míaƒe dziwo me abe kpeɖodzi be míenye etɔwo vavã la ene.
who has also sealed us, and given us the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.
23 Azɔ la, meyɔ Mawu tso nye dzi me ke abe ɖasefo ene be nu si gblɔm mele na mi la nye nyateƒe tututu; susu si ta nyemetrɔ va Korinto haɖe o lae nye be nyemedi be mava ka mo na mi, eye mawɔe be miaxa nu o.
Moreover, I call on God as a witness against my soul, that to spare you, I have not as yet come to Corinth.
24 Menye ɖe míegale amegã ɖum ɖe mia dzi hele se dem na mi tso nu si ke miaxɔ ase la ŋuti o, elabena mienya nu si dze be miaxɔ ase. Ke medi be mawɔ nane si ado dzidzɔ na mi, nye dɔwɔhatiwo ne meva, menye be mana mialé blanui o.
Not that we lord it over your faith, but we are joint promoters of your joy: for by the faith you stand.
