1 Bazalwane, ngangingeke ngikhulume lani njengabaphila ngomoya, kodwa njengabomhlaba, insane nje kuKhristu.
Nokorɛm, anuanom, mantumi ankasa ankyerɛ mo sɛ nnipa a wɔwɔ Honhom no. Na ɛsɛ sɛ mekasa kyerɛ mo sɛ ewiasefoɔ a wɔte sɛ mmɔfra a wɔwɔ Kristo mu gyidie.
2 Ngalinika uchago, hatshi ukudla okuqinileyo, ngoba lalingakakulungeli. Impela lilokhu lingakakulungeli.
Memaa mo nufosuo. Mamma mo aduane a ɛyɛ den, ɛfiri sɛ, na ɛnyɛ mma mo. Na seesei ara mpo ɛnyɛ mma mo,
3 Lilokhu lingabomhlaba. Kalokho njengoba kulomona lokuxabana phakathi kwenu, kambe kalisibo bomhlaba na? Kalenzi njengabantu nje na?
ɛfiri sɛ, moda so te hɔ sɛ ewiasefoɔ. Sɛ anibereɛ wɔ mo mu na motwa mo ho ne mo ho mo ho nya akasakasa a, ɛnna no adi sɛ moyɛ ewiasefoɔ a mote hɔ ma ewiase?
4 Ngoba nxa omunye esithi, “Mina ngilandela uPhawuli,” omunye laye athi, “Mina ngilandela u-Apholo,” kambe kalisibantu nje na?
Sɛ obi ka sɛ, “Me deɛ, medi Paulo akyi” na ɔfoforɔ nso ka sɛ, “Me nso mewɔ Apolo afa” a, ɛnkyerɛ sɛ moyɛ ewiasefoɔ anaa?
5 Kanti u-Apholo uvele uyini na? LoPhawuli uyini na? Bazinceku nje kuphela lina elakholwa ngazo, njengoba iNkosi imisele omunye lomunye umsebenzi wakhe.
Mebisa sɛ, Apolo yɛ hwan? Na Paulo nso yɛ hwan? Yɛyɛ Onyankopɔn asomfoɔ kwa a ɛnam yɛn so na monya gyidie. Adwuma a Onyankopɔn de ama yɛn mu biara sɛ yɛnyɛ no na yɛyɛ.
6 Mina ngahlanyela inhlanyelo, u-Apholo wayithelela, kodwa nguNkulunkulu owayikhulisayo.
Meduaa aba no na Apolo guguu so nsuo nanso Onyankopɔn na ɔmaa afifideɛ no nyiniiɛ.
7 Ngakho lowo ohlanyelayo, loba othelelayo, akasilutho, kodwa nguNkulunkulu kuphela owenza izinto zikhule.
Obi a ɔduaeɛ ne obi a ɔguguu so nsuo no ho nhia. Onyankopɔn na ne ho hia, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔno na ɔmaa afifideɛ no nyiniiɛ.
8 Umuntu ohlanyelayo lomuntu othelelayo banhlosonye, njalo lowo lalowo uzanikwa umvuzo wakhe njengokusebenza kwakhe.
Nsonsonoeɛ biara nni onipa a ɔdua ne deɛ ɔgugu so nsuo ntam. Onyankopɔn bɛhwɛ dwuma a wɔn mu biara diiɛ so na wama wɔn so adeɛ.
9 Ngoba thina siyizisebenzi emsebenzini kaNkulunkulu; lina liyinsimu kaNkulunkulu, isakhiwo sikaNkulunkulu.
Yɛn deɛ yɛyɛ aboafoɔ a yɛne Onyankopɔn reyɛ adwuma na mo nso moyɛ Onyankopɔn afuo. Bio, moyɛ Onyankopɔn dan.
10 Ngomusa uNkulunkulu angipha wona, ngabeka isisekelo njengengcitshi yomakhi, njalo abanye bakha phezu kwaso. Kodwa omunye lomunye kumele ananzelele ukuthi wakha njani.
Menam adom a Onyankopɔn de maa me no so meyɛɛ ɔdanseni pa adwuma. Metoo fapem ɛnna onipa foforɔ nso resi ato so. Nanso, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔn mu biara fa ɛkwan pa so si.
11 Ngoba kakho ongabeka esinye isisekelo ngaphandle kwaleso esivele sesibekiwe, esinguJesu Khristu.
Ɛfiri sɛ, Onyankopɔn ayɛ Yesu Kristo nko ɛdan no fapem enti wɔrentumi nto fapem foforɔ biara bio.
12 Nxa umuntu esakhela phezu kwalesisisekelo ngegolide, ngesiliva, ngamatshe adulayo, ngezigodo, ngotshani loba ngamahlanga,
Ebinom de sikakɔkɔɔ, anaa dwetɛ anaa aboɔden aboɔ na ɛbɛsi wɔn dan wɔ fapem no so; afoforɔ nso de nnua anaa ɛserɛ anaa wira.
13 umsebenzi wakhe uzabonakaliswa unjalo, ngoba usuku luzawubeka ekukhanyeni. Uzavezwa obala ngomlilo, njalo umlilo uzahlola umsebenzi womuntu ngamunye ukuthi unjani.
Obiara dwuma a ɔdiiɛ no, ɛda no bɛda no adi; ɛda no ogya no bɛda obiara adwuma adi. Ogya no bɛsɔ ahwɛ, ahunu dwuma ko no yɛ a ɛyɛ.
14 Nxa lokho okwakhiweyo kuzasala kukhona, umakhi uzakwamukela umvuzo wakhe.
Sɛ deɛ onipa ko no de sii fapem no so no tumi gyina ogya no ano a, ɛbɛnya akatua.
15 Kodwa nxa kusitsha kuphele du, umakhi uzalahlekelwa kodwa yena ngokwakhe uzaphepha, loba nje kunjengomuntu ophunyuka edabula phakathi kwamalangabi.
Na sɛ obi adwuma hye wɔ ogya no ano a, akatua no bɛbɔ no, nanso ɔno deɛ, ɔbɛnya nkwa sɛ obi a wadwane afiri gyaframa mu.
16 Kanti kalazi yini ukuthi lina ngokwenu lilithempeli likaNkulunkulu kanye lokuthi uMoya kaNkulunkulu uhlala phakathi kwenu?
Nokorɛm, monim sɛ moyɛ Onyankopɔn asɔredan na Onyankopɔn Honhom no te mo mu!
17 Nxa umuntu echitha ithempeli likaNkulunkulu, uNkulunkulu uzamchitha ngoba ithempeli likaNkulunkulu lingcwele njalo lina lonke liyilelothempeli.
Enti, obiara a ɔbɛsɛe Onyankopɔn asɔredan no, Onyankopɔn bɛsɛe no. Ɛfiri sɛ, Onyankopɔn asɔredan yɛ kronkron, na mo na moyɛ nʼasɔredan no.
18 Lingazikhohlisi. Nxa omunye wenu ecabanga ukuthi uhlakaniphile ngokwesilinganiso salesisikhathi kabe yisithutha ukuze ahlakaniphe. (aiōn g165)
Ɛnsɛ sɛ obiara daadaa ne ho. Sɛ obi a ɔka mo ho fa ne ho sɛ ɔyɛ ewiase yi mu onyansafoɔ a, ɛwɔ sɛ ɔyɛ ɔkwasea ansa na wabɛyɛ onyansafoɔ. (aiōn g165)
19 Ngoba ukuhlakanipha kwalo umhlaba kuyibuthutha phambi kukaNkulunkulu. Njengoba kulotshiwe ukuthi: “Ubamba abahlakaniphileyo ebuqilini babo,”
Ɛfiri sɛ, deɛ ewiase bu no nyansa no yɛ asɛm a aba nni mu wɔ Onyankopɔn ani so. Atwerɛsɛm no ka sɛ, “Ɔkyere anyansafoɔ wɔ wɔn aniteɛ mu.”
20 lokuthi, “UThixo uyakwazi ukuthi imicabango yabahlakaniphileyo iyize nje.”
Bio, Atwerɛsɛm no ka sɛ, “Awurade nim onipa nsusuiɛ. Ɔnim sɛ ɛnkɔsi hwee.”
21 Ngakho, Akungabikhona ukuzincoma ngabathungameli abangabantu. Izinto zonke ngezenu,
Enti, ɛnsɛ sɛ obiara de deɛ onipa tumi yɛ hoahoa ne ho na biribiara yɛ mo dea.
22 loba nguPhawuli kumbe u-Apholo loba uKhefasi kumbe umhlaba loba ukuphila kumbe ukufa loba kukhathesi kumbe kwelizayo, konke ngokwenu,
Paulo, Apolo ne Petro, saa ewiase yi, nkwa ne owuo, ɛnnɛ ne daakye nyinaa yɛ mo dea,
23 njalo lina lingabakaKhristu, loKhristu ungokaNkulunkulu.
na moyɛ Kristo dea na Kristo nso yɛ Onyankopɔn dea.
