< 1 Korintofo 16 >

1 Asɛm a ɛfa tow a wobeyi de aboa Onyankopɔn asafomma a wɔwɔ Yudea ho no ni: Ɛsɛ sɛ moyɛ nea meka kyerɛɛ Galati asafo ahorow sɛ wɔnyɛ no bi.

Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye.

2 Kwasida biara sika a moanya no, momfa bi nsie baabi sɛnea meba mo nkyɛn a ɛremma munyi tow.

Upon the first [day] of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as [God] hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.

3 Sɛ meba hɔ a mɛkyerɛw adansedi krataa de asoma nnipa a mopene so sɛ mensoma wɔn, na wɔabegye mo akyɛde no de akɔ Yerusalem.

And when I come, whomsoever ye shall approve by [your] letters, them will I send to bring your liberality unto Jerusalem.

4 Sɛ ɛho hia sɛ me ne wɔn ba a, me ne wɔn bɛba.

And if it be meet that I go also, they shall go with me.

5 Sɛ mifi Makedonia a na mɛba mo nkyɛn, efisɛ mɛfa hɔ.

Now I will come unto you, when I shall pass through Macedonia: for I do pass through Macedonia.

6 Ebia medi nna kakra wɔ mo nkyɛn, anaa mpo medi awɔwbere no wɔ mo nkyɛn, na moaboa me ama makɔ baabiara a mepɛ sɛ mekɔ.

And it may be that I will abide, yea, and winter with you, that ye may bring me on my journey whithersoever I go.

7 Mempɛ sɛ midi nna tiaa bi wɔ mo nkyɛn. Na mmom, mewɔ anidaso sɛ, sɛ Awurade pɛ a, mɛtena mo nkyɛn akyɛ.

For I will not see you now by the way; but I trust to tarry a while with you, if the Lord permit.

8 Nanso mɛtena Efeso ha yi akosi Pentekoste da no.

But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost.

9 Ɛwɔ mu sɛ wɔn a wɔasɔre atia me no dɔɔso de, nanso akwan pa a metumi afa so adi dwuma pa wɔ ha.

For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and [there are] many adversaries.

10 Sɛ Timoteo ba mo nkyɛn wɔ ha a, monsom no hɔho, efisɛ ɔreyɛ Awurade adwuma sɛnea meyɛ yi ara.

Now if Timotheus come, see that he may be with you without fear: for he worketh the work of the Lord, as I also [do].

11 Obiara mmu no abomfiaa, na mmom mommoa no na ontu ne kwan yi asomdwoe mu na watumi asan abɛka me nsa, efisɛ merehwɛ ɔne anuanom no anim.

Let no man therefore despise him: but conduct him forth in peace, that he may come unto me: for I look for him with the brethren.

12 Onua Apolo nso, metaa hyɛ no nkuran sɛ ɔne anuanom a wɔaka no ntaa nsra mo, nanso ɔnyɛɛ nʼadwene sɛ ɔbɛba mprempren ara. Sɛ onya kwan de a, ɔbɛba.

As touching [our] brother Apollos, I greatly desired him to come unto you with the brethren: but his will was not at all to come at this time; but he will come when he shall have convenient time.

13 Monwɛn, momma mo gyidi mu nyɛ den; mo bo nyɛ duru na munnya ahoɔden.

Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.

14 Momfa ɔdɔ nyɛ mo nnwuma nyinaa.

Let all your things be done with charity.

15 Munim Stefana ne ne fifo ho asɛm. Wɔyɛ nnipa a wɔdan bɛyɛɛ Kristofo kan wɔ Hela na wɔde wɔn ho ama Onyankopɔn adwumayɛfo. Mesrɛ mo, me nuanom,

I beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and [that] they have addicted themselves to the ministry of the saints, )

16 sɛ mommrɛ mo ho ase mma nnipa a wɔte saa ne wɔn a wodi saa dwuma no bi no.

That ye submit yourselves unto such, and to every one that helpeth with [us], and laboureth.

17 Mʼani gye Stefana, Fortunato ne Akaiko ba a wɔbae no ho. Wobesii mo anan

I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus: for that which was lacking on your part they have supplied.

18 na wɔama mʼani agye sɛnea wɔmaa mo ani gyei no ara pɛ. Ɛsɛ sɛ yɛkae nnipa a wɔte saa no.

For they have refreshed my spirit and yours: therefore acknowledge ye them that are such.

19 Asafo a wɔwɔ Asia no kyia mo. Akwila ne Priska ne asafo a wohyia wɔ wɔn fi no nso kyia mo.

The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house.

20 Anuanom a wɔwɔ ha no kyia mo. Momfa ɔdɔ nkyiakyia mo ho mo ho.

All the brethren greet you. Greet ye one another with an holy kiss.

21 Me ara me nsa ano nkyerɛw ni: Me Paulo, mikyia mo.

The salutation of [me] Paul with mine own hand.
