Korintotɔwo 2 6

1 Esi mí katã míenye Mawu ƒe hadɔwɔlawo ta la, míele kuku ɖem na mi be migaxɔ Mawu ƒe amenuveve la dzodzro o.

So we therefore as workers together beseech you, that ye receiue not the grace of God in vaine.

2 Elabena Mawu gblɔ be, “Meɖo to wò le nye amenuveɣi la, eye mekpe ɖe ŋuwò le xɔxɔgbe la.” Mele egblɔm na wò be, fifiae nye amenuveɣi, kpɔ ɖa fifiae nye xɔxɔgbe!

For he sayth, I haue heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of saluation haue I succoured thee: beholde nowe the accepted time, beholde nowe the day of saluation.

3 Míedi be ame aɖeke nakpɔ vodada le dɔ si wɔm míele na Aƒetɔ la ŋu o, esia ta míena nuɖiɖia aɖeke le naneke me o.

We giue no occasion of offence in any thing, that our ministerie shoulde not be reprehended.

4 Ke boŋ le xaxawo, hiãkamewo kple yometiti geɖewo me hã la, míedoa dzi eye míeɖea mía ɖokui fiana abe Mawu ƒe subɔla vavãwo ene.

But in all things we approue our selues as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,

5 Woƒo mí, eye wode mí gaxɔ me. Ame siwo lɔ veve helĩhelĩ ɖe dzi me la tso ɖe mía ŋu kpɔ. Míewɔ dɔ sesĩe, eye ɖeɖi te mía ŋu kpɔ; míetsia zãdomadɔlɔ̃e, eye dɔ wua mí.

In stripes, in prisons, in tumults, in labours,

6 Le nu sia nu me la, míenɔa anyi le dzadzɛnyenye me. Míegbɔa dzi ɖi, eye míenyoa dɔ me na ame sia ame. Ale si míedze si Aƒetɔ la ŋu míezɔna ɖo. Mawu ƒe Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe la yɔ mí fũu eye míezɔna le eme kple lɔlɔ̃ si me alakpa mele o.

By watchings, by fastings, by puritie, by knowledge, by long suffering, by kindnesse, by the holy Ghost, by loue vnfained,

7 Míezɔna le Mawu ƒe nyateƒe kple eƒe ŋusẽ me, eye ame dzɔdzɔewo ƒe aʋawɔnu siwo le nuɖusime kple miame la le mía si.

By the worde of trueth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousnesse on the right hand, and on the left,

8 Nenye be amewo de bubu mía ŋu alo do ŋukpe mí, nenye be wodzu mí alo kafu mí, eye wose nyateƒe si gblɔm míele, gake wogbe be yewomaxɔe o, eye wobu mí abe alakpatɔwo ene hã la, Aƒetɔ la ko míanɔ agbe na.

By honour, and dishonour, by euill report, and good report, as deceiuers, and yet true:

9 Xexea me tɔwo mebua mí ɖe naneke me o, gake Mawu ya nya mí nyuie. Míele kudo nu ɣe sia ɣi, gake kpɔ ɖa, míele agbe wu nu sia nu. Wode abi mía ŋu, gake míeku o.

As vnknowen, and yet knowen: as dying, and beholde, we liue: as chastened, and yet not killed:

10 Míaƒe dziwo sea veve ŋutɔ, eye míeléa blanui, gake Aƒetɔ la tsɔa eƒe dzidzɔ dea mía me. Míele abe ame siwo nye ame dahewo ene, gake míena ame geɖewo zu kesinɔtɔwo. Míedzena abe ame siwo si naneke mele o la ene, gake nu sia nu le mía si.

As sorowing, and yet alway reioycing: as poore, and yet make many riche: as hauing nothing, and yet possessing all things.

11 Nɔvi Korinto hametɔ lɔlɔ̃awo, meʋu nye dzi me faa gblɔ nu siwo le eme la na mi. Míelɔ̃a mi ŋutɔ, eya ta

O Corinthians, our mouth is open vnto you: our heart is made large.

12 míeɣla naneke ɖe mi o, ke boŋ míelɔ̃ mi tso dzi blibo me, gake ewɔ nuku ŋutɔ be mieʋu miaƒe dziwo me ɖe mía ŋu abe ale si míawo míewɔe na mi ene o.

Ye are not kept strait in vs, but ye are kept strait in your owne bowels.

13 Azɔ la, medi be maƒo nu na mi abe vinye ŋutɔŋutɔwo ene. Mina be miaƒe dɔ me nakɔ ɖe mía ŋu, eye mialɔ̃ mí tso dzi blibo me abe ale si míelɔ̃ mie ene.

Nowe for the same recompence, I speake as to my children, Be you also inlarged.

14 Migawɔ ɖeka kple ame siwo melɔ̃a Aƒetɔ la o. Ƒomedodo kae le xɔsetɔwo kple dzimaxɔsetɔwo dome? Eye aleke kekeli kple viviti ate ŋu anɔ teƒe ɖekae le ɣeyiɣi ɖeka me?

Be not vnequally yoked with the infidels: for what fellowship hath righteousnesse with vnrighteousnesse? and what communion hath light with darkenesse?

15 Aleke Kristo si nye dzɔdzɔetɔwo ƒe fia kple Abosam si nye nu vɔ̃ wɔlawo ƒe fia la ate ŋu awɔ ɖekae? Eye aleke kristotɔ hã ate ŋu awɔ ɖeka kple dzimaxɔsetɔ?

And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath the beleeuer with the infidell?

16 Nenema ke mele be ɖekawɔwɔ aɖeke nanɔ gbedoxɔ kple trɔ̃xɔ dome o. Míawoe nye Mawu gbagbe la ƒe gbedoxɔ, afi si wònɔna. Mawu ŋutɔ gblɔ be, “Manɔ ame siwo nye tɔnyewo la dome, mazɔ le wo dome. Manye woƒe Mawu, eye woawo hã woanye nye dukɔ.”

And what agreement hath the Temple of God with idols? for ye are the Temple of the liuing God: as God hath said, I will dwell among them, and walke there: and I will be their God, and they shalbe my people.

17 Esia ta, Yehowa gblɔ be, “Mido go le wo dome, eye miaɖe vovo tso wo gbɔ le nu sia nu me. Migade asi woƒe nu siwo ŋuti mekɔ o la ŋuti o, ekema maxɔ mi abe tɔnyewo ene.”

Wherefore come out from among them, and separate your selues, saith the Lord, and touch none vncleane thing, and I wil receiue you.

18 Ke, “Manye mia Fofo, eye miawo hã mianye, vinyeŋutsuwo kple vinyenyɔnuwo.”

And I will be a Father vnto you, and ye shalbe my sonnes and daughters, saith the Lord almightie.
