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, through the will of God, and Timotheus the brother, to the assembly of God that is in Corinth, 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.
Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ!
3 Woakafu Mawu, ame si nye míaƒe Aƒetɔ Yesu Kristo Fofo, nublanuikpɔkpɔ Fofo kple akɔfafa katã ƒe Mawu la,
Blessed [is] God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of the mercies, and God of all comfort,
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 is comforting us in all our tribulation, for our being able to comfort those in any tribulation through the comfort with which we are comforted ourselves by 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.
because, as the sufferings of the Christ do abound to us, so through the Christ doth abound also our comfort;
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.
and whether we be in tribulation, [it is] for your comfort and salvation, that is wrought in the enduring of the same sufferings that we also suffer; whether we are comforted, [it is] for your comfort and salvation;
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 our hope [is] stedfast for you, knowing that even as ye are partakers of the sufferings — so 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.
For we do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, of our tribulation that happened to us in Asia, that we were exceedingly burdened above [our] power, so that 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.
but we ourselves in ourselves the sentence of the death have had, that we may not be trusting on ourselves, but on God, who is raising 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 out of so great a death did deliver us, and doth deliver, in whom we have hoped that even yet He will deliver;
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.
ye working together also for us by your supplication, that the gift through many persons to us, through many may be thankfully acknowledged 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 our glorying is this: the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom, but in the grace of God, we did conduct ourselves in the world, and more abundantly toward you;
13 Elabena míeŋlɔ nya bubu aɖeke na mi, si miate ŋu axlẽ alo ase egɔme o. Mele mɔ kpɔm be,
for no other things do we write to you, but what ye either do read or also acknowledge, and I hope that also unto the end ye shall acknowledge,
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.
according as also ye did acknowledge us in part, that your glory we are, even as also ye [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 confidence I was purposing to come unto you before, that a second favour ye might have,
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 through you to pass to Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come unto you, and by you to be sent forward to 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?
This, therefore, counselling, did I then use the lightness; or the things that I counsel, according to the flesh do I counsel, that it may be with me 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.”
and God [is] faithful, that our word unto you became 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, among you through us having been preached — through me and Silvanus and Timotheus — did not become Yes and No, but in him it hath become 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.
for as many as [are] promises of God, in him [are] the Yes, and in him the Amen, for glory to God through 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.
and He who is confirming you with us into Christ, and did anoint us, [is] 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 also sealed us, and gave 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.
And I for a witness on God do call upon my soul, that sparing you, I came not yet 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 are lords over your faith, but we are workers together with your joy, for by the faith ye stand.
