1 Korintofo 3
1 Nokware, anuanom, mantumi ankasa ankyerɛ mo sɛ nnipa a wɔwɔ Honhom no. Na ɛsɛ sɛ mekasa kyerɛ mo sɛ wiasefo a wɔte sɛ mmofra a wɔwɔ Kristo mu gyidi.
And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, [even] as unto babes in Christ.
2 Memaa mo nufusu. Mamma mo aduan a ɛyɛ den, efisɛ na enye mma mo. Na mprempren ara mpo enye mma mo,
I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able [to bear it], neither yet now are ye able.
3 efisɛ moda so te hɔ sɛ wiasefo. Sɛ anibere wɔ mo mu na mutwa mo ho ne mo ho mo ho nya akasakasa a, so ɛnna no adi sɛ moyɛ wiasefo a mote hɔ ma wiase?
For ye are yet carnal: for whereas [there is] among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?
4 Sɛ obi ka se, “Me de, midi Paulo akyi” na ɔfoforo nso ka se, “Me nso mewɔ Apolo afa” a, ɛnkyerɛ sɛ moyɛ wiasefo ana?
For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I [am] of Apollos; are ye not carnal?
5 Mibisa se Apolo yɛ hena? Na Paulo nso yɛ hena? Yɛyɛ Onyankopɔn asomfo kwa a ɛnam yɛn so na munya gyidi. Adwuma a Onyankopɔn de ama yɛn mu biara sɛ yɛnyɛ no na yɛyɛ.
Who then is Paul, and who [is] Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?
6 Miduaa aba no na Apolo guguu so nsu, nanso Onyankopɔn na ɔmaa afifide no nyinii.
I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
7 Obi a oduae ne obi a oguguu so nsu no ho nhia. Onyankopɔn na ne ho hia, efisɛ ɔno na ɔmaa afifide no nyinii.
So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
8 Nsonoe biara nni onipa a odua ne nea ogugu so nsu no ntam. Onyankopɔn bɛhwɛ dwuma a wɔn mu biara dii so na wama wɔn so ade.
Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.
9 Yɛn de, yɛyɛ aboafo a yɛne Onyankopɔn reyɛ adwuma na mo nso moyɛ Onyankopɔn afuw. Bio, moyɛ Onyankopɔn dan.
For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, [ye are] God’s building.
10 Menam adom a Onyankopɔn de maa me no so yɛɛ ɔdanseni pa adwuma. Metoo fapem na onipa foforo nso resi atoa so. Nanso ɛsɛ sɛ wɔn mu biara fa ɔkwan pa so si.
According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.
11 Efisɛ Onyankopɔn ayɛ Yesu Kristo nko ɔdan no fapem enti wɔrentumi nto fapem foforo biara bio.
For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
12 Ebinom de sikakɔkɔɔ, anaa dwetɛ anaa aboɔden abo na ebesi wɔn dan wɔ fapem no so; afoforo nso de nnua anaa sare anaa baamu.
Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
13 Obiara dwuma a odii no bɛda adi da no; da no gya no bɛda obiara adwuma adi. Ogya no bɛsɔ ahwɛ, ahu dwuma ko no ye a eye.
Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is.
14 Sɛ nea onipa ko no de sii fapem no so no tumi gyina ogya no ano a, ebenya akatua.
If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
15 Na sɛ obi adwuma hyew wɔ ogya no ano a, akatua no bɛbɔ no, nanso ɔno de, obenya nkwa sɛ obi a waguan afi gyaframa mu.
If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
16 Munnim sɛ moyɛ Onyankopɔn asɔredan na Onyankopɔn Honhom no te mo mu ana?
Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and [that] the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
17 Enti obiara a ɔbɛsɛe Onyankopɔn asɔredan no, Onyankopɔn bɛsɛe no. Efisɛ Onyankopɔn asɔredan yɛ kronkron, na mo na moyɛ nʼasɔredan no.
If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which [temple] ye are.
18 Ɛnsɛ sɛ obiara daadaa ne ho. Sɛ obi a ɔka mo ho fa ne ho sɛ ɔyɛ wiase yi mu onyansafo a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔyɛ ɔkwasea ansa na wabɛyɛ onyansafo. (aiōn g165)
Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. (aiōn g165)
19 Efisɛ nea wiase bu no nyansa no yɛ asɛm a aba nni mu wɔ Onyankopɔn ani so. Kyerɛwsɛm no ka se, “Ɔkyere anyansafo wɔ wɔn anitew mu.”
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
20 Bio, Kyerɛwsɛm no ka se, “Awurade nim onipa nsusuwii. Onim sɛ enkosi hwee.”
And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.
21 Enti ɛnsɛ sɛ obiara de nea onipa tumi yɛ hoahoa ne ho na biribiara yɛ mo dea.
Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours;
22 Paulo, Apolo ne Petro, saa wiase yi, nkwa ne owu, nnɛ ne daakye nyinaa yɛ mo dea,
Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours;
23 na moyɛ Kristo dea na Kristo nso yɛ Onyankopɔn dea.
And ye are Christ’s; and Christ [is] God’s.
