1 Korintofo 8
1 Asɛm a ɛfa nnuan a wɔde ma ahoni ho nso ni: Yenim sɛ, “Yɛn nyinaa wɔ nimdeɛ.” Nanso saa nimdeɛ no ma onipa yɛ ahantan na ɔdɔ ma nkɔso.
Pea ʻi he ngaahi meʻa kuo feilaulau ʻaki ki he ngaahi tamapua, ʻoku tau ʻilo, he ʻoku tau maʻu kotoa pē ʻae ʻilo. ʻOku fakafuofuolahi ʻe he ʻilo, ka ʻoku langa hake ʻe he ʻofa.
2 Onipa a ogye ne ho di sɛ onim biribi no nnim sɛnea anka ɛsɛ sɛ ohu.
Pea kapau ʻoku mahalo ʻe ha tangata ʻoku ne ʻilo ha meʻa, ʻoku teʻeki te ne ʻilo ha meʻa ʻe taha, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻoku totonu ke ne ʻilo.
3 Nanso onipa a ɔdɔ Onyankopɔn no, Onyankopɔn nim no.
Ka ʻoka ai ha taha ʻoku ʻofa ki he ʻOtua, ʻoku ʻilo ia ʻe ia.
4 Enti nnuan a wɔde ma ahoni sɛ wonni no, yenim sɛ ohoni wɔ hɔ ma biribi a ɛnte ase. Yenim sɛ Onyankopɔn baako pɛ na ɔwɔ hɔ.
Pea koeʻuhi ko e kai ʻoe ngaahi meʻa ko ia ʻoku feilaulau ʻaki ki he ngaahi tamapua, ʻoku tau ʻilo, ko e tamapua ko e meʻa noa pē ʻi māmani, pea ʻoku ʻikai mo ha ʻOtua, ka ko e tokotaha pe.
5 Nneɛma bebree wɔ ɔsoro ne asase so a yɛfrɛ wɔn anyame ne awuranom, nanso wɔn mu biara nyɛ anyame anaasɛ awuranom.
He neongo ʻoku ʻi ai ʻoku ui “ko e ngaahi ʻotua,” ʻi he langi pe ʻi he māmani, (he ʻoku ai ʻae “ʻotua” tokolahi, mo e “ʻeiki” tokolahi),
6 Yɛwɔ Onyame baako pɛ a ɔyɛ Agya. Ɔno na ɔbɔɔ ade nyinaa, na yɛte ase ma no. Yesu Kristo ne yɛn Awurade a Agya no nam ne so yɛɛ ade nyinaa, na ɔmaa yɛn nkwa.
Ka ʻoku taha pe ʻae ʻOtua kiate kitautolu, ko e Tamai, ʻaia ʻoku mei ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē, pea maʻana ʻakitautolu; pea taha pe ʻae ʻEiki, ko Sisu Kalaisi, ʻaia ʻoku ʻiate ia ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē, mo kitautolu ʻiate ia.
7 Nanso ɛnyɛ obiara na onim saa nokwasɛm yi. Nnipa bi de wɔn ho ama ahoni no ara kosi sɛ, sɛ wodi saa nnuan no a wonim pefee sɛ ohoni aduan na wɔredi. Esiane wɔn ahonim a ɛyɛ mmerɛw nti, wogye di nso sɛ aduan no gu wɔn ho fi.
Ka ʻoku ʻikai ʻi he tangata kotoa pē ʻae ʻilo ko ia: he ʻoku kei ai ni ʻae niʻihi ʻoku kai fākaliliʻa ʻae meʻa ʻoku ʻatu ki ha tamapua, ʻo hangē ko ha moʻoni ia, pea ʻoku fakaului ai honau loto koeʻuhi ko ʻene vaivai.
8 Ɛnyɛ aduan a yɛadi no na ɛtwe yɛn bɛn Onyankopɔn. Sɛ yɛanni saa aduan no a, yɛntɔ sin, na sɛ yedi nso a, yɛmmoro so.
Ka ʻoku ʻikai fakaongolelei ʻakitautolu ʻe he meʻakai ki he ʻOtua: he ʻoku ʻikai te tau lelei ai, ʻo kapau ʻoku tau kai; pea ʻoku ʻikai te tau kovi ai, ʻo kapau ʻoku ʻikai te tau kai.
9 Monhwɛ yiye na moamma mo ahofadi no antwetwe wɔn a wɔyɛ mmerɛw wɔ gyidi mu no ankɔ bɔne mu.
Kae vakai telia naʻa ai ha meʻa ʻe hoko ai hoʻomou tauʻatāina ni ko e tūkiaʻanga kiate kinautolu ʻoku vaivai.
10 Sɛ ɛba sɛ obi a nʼahonim yɛ mmerɛw wɔ saa asɛm yi mu hu sɛ wo a wowɔ “nimdeɛ” redidi wɔ ohoni dan mu a, ɛrenhyɛ no nkuran mma ɔno nso nkodi aduan a wɔde ama ahoni no bi ana?
He kapau ʻe mamata ha taha kiate koe, ʻa koe “ko e poto,” ʻoku ke nofo ʻo kai ʻi he fale ʻoe tamapua, ʻikai ʻe langa hake ai ʻae loto ʻo ia ʻoku vaivai, ke ne kai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ko ia kuo feilaulau ʻaki ki he ngaahi tamapua;
11 Enti saa onipa a ɔyɛ mmerɛw a ɔyɛ wo nua a Kristo wu maa no yi, esiane wo “nimdeɛ” nti ɔbɛyera?
Pea ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻo “ʻilo” ʻe ʻauha ai ho kāinga vaivai, naʻe pekia ai ʻa Kalaisi?
12 Na ɛnam saa ɔkwan yi so bɛma woayɛ bɔne atia wo nuanom. Sɛ ɛba saa a, woyɛ bɔne tia Kristo nso, efisɛ wonam wɔn adwene mu mmerɛwyɛ so adaadaa wɔn.
Ka ʻi hoʻomou angahala pehē ki he kāinga, ʻo fakakafo honau loto vaivai, ko hoʻomou fai angahala ia kia Kalaisi.
