Korintotɔwo 2 13
1 Esia anye zi etɔ̃lia mava mia gbɔ. Azɔ abe ale si woŋlɔe ɖe mawunya me ene la, “Woaxɔ nya si ame aɖe tsɔ ɖe nɔvia ŋu la to ɖasefo eve alo etɔ̃ ƒe kpeɖodzi me.”
This will be my third visit to you. Out of the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be confirmed.
2 Mexlɔ̃ nu mi xoxo esi meva mia gbɔ zi evelia va yi. Azɔ la, megale egblɔm, esi nyemele mia gbɔ o. Ke ne metrɔ va la, nyematsɔe ake ame siwo wɔ nu vɔ̃ do ŋgɔ alo ame bubu siwo wɔe kplɔ wo ɖo o,
I have said formerly, and I now forewarn you as when I was present the second time, so now when I am absent the second time, so now when I am absent, saying to those who had sinned before, and to all the rest, "If I come again, I will not spare,"
3 elabena miele nane dim be wòaɖo kpe edzi na mi be Kristoe le nu ƒom to dzinye. Kristo megbɔdzɔ le tohehe na mi me o, ke esẽ ŋu le mia dome.
Since you want a proof of Christ who is speaking in me, he who is not feeble toward you, but powerful among you.
4 Be woaka ɖe edzi na mi la, woklãe ɖe ati ŋu le gbɔdzɔgbɔdzɔ me, ke hã la, ele agbe to Mawu ƒe ŋusẽ me. Nenema ke míegbɔdzɔ le eya amea me, gake to Mawu ƒe ŋusẽ me la, míele agbe be míasubɔ mi.
For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he now lives through the power of God. I also am weak, sharing in his weakness, but I shall live with him by the power of God.
5 Mido mia ɖokuiwo kpɔ be miele xɔse me vavã mahã? Nenema ke midzro mia ɖokuiwo me. Ɖe miekpɔ dze sii be Kristo Yesu le mia me oa? Negbe ɖe mieto xɔse ƒe dodokpɔ la me o.
Examine yourselves to see if you are in the faith; put your own selves to the proof. Or do you not know, your own selves, that Jesus Christ is in you, unless indeed you fail to abide the proof?
6 Mexɔe se be mi katã mialɔ̃ ɖe edzi kplim be mieto dodokpɔ la me.
But I hope you will find that I abide the proof.
7 Míaƒe gbedodoɖa na Mawue nye be miagawɔ nu vɔ̃ aɖeke o. Menye be miatso afia be míefia nu nyui mi o. Gbeɖe, nenye be woɖe vodada na mí hã la, ele be miawo ya miawɔ nu nyui.
And my prayer to God is that you may do no evil; not in order that I may appear approved, but that you may do what is noble, though I should seem unable to abide the proof.
8 Elabena míate ŋu awɔ naneke ɖe nyateƒe la ŋuti o; ke nyateƒe la boŋ ye míate ŋu awɔ nane na.
For I have no power against the truth, but only in defense of the truth.
9 Enye dzidzɔ na mí ne míawo míegbɔdzɔ, eye miawo miesẽ ŋu la, míekpɔa dzidzɔ, eye esia ŋuti míele kuku ɖem ɖo le miaƒe blibodede ŋuti.
For I am always glad whenever I am weak, but you are strong. For this also I am praying, for your perfect reformation.
10 Mele nu sia ŋlɔm na mi kple mɔkpɔkpɔ be ne meva ɖo la, magahiã be mahe nya ɖe mia ŋu alo ahe to na ame aɖeke o, elabena nye didie nye be mawɔ ŋusẽ si Aƒetɔ la nam la ŋuti dɔ atsɔ atu mi ɖo le xɔse me. Ke menye be matsɔe aɖiɖi mi ɖe anyi o.
For this reason I am writing thus while absent, so that when I come, I may not have to deal sharply, according to the authority which the Lord gave me for building up, and not for pulling down.
11 Mlɔeba la, nɔviwo, midze agba be mianɔ agbe nyuie. Miɖo to nya siwo katã megblɔ na mi. Minɔ anyi le ɖekawɔwɔ kple ŋutifafa me, eye ŋutifafa kple lɔlɔ̃ ƒe Mawu la nanɔ anyi kpli mi.
Finally, brothers, farewell. Aim at perfection, take courage, be of one mind, live in peace; so shall the God of love and peace be with you.
12 Mido gbe na mia nɔewo le Kristo me.
Salute one another with a holy kiss.
13 Ame kɔkɔe siwo katã le gbɔnye afi sia la do gbe na mi nyuie.
All the saints salute you.
14 Aƒetɔ Yesu Kristo ƒe amenuveve kple Mawu ƒe lɔlɔ̃ kple Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe la ƒe hamenɔnɔ nanɔ anyi kple mi katã.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
