1 Petro 4

1 Esiane sɛ Kristo huu amane wɔ ne honam mu nti, munso saa adwene koro no ara mu mfa nhyɛ mo ho den. Efisɛ nea wahu amane wɔ ɔhonam mu no ne bɔne nni biribiara yɛ.

Seeing therefore Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same thought, that he, who hath mortified the flesh, hath ceased from sin;

2 Efi mprempren rekɔ no, mo nna a aka wɔ asase so ha no, ɛsɛ sɛ Onyankopɔn na odi mo abrabɔ so na ɛnyɛ onipa akɔnnɔ.

that he should no longer live the rest of his time in the flesh according to the lusts of men, but after the will of God.

3 Moasɛe mmere bebree de ayɛ nea anka ɛsɛ sɛ abosonsomfo na wɔyɛ. Motenaa ase wɔ ahohwi, akɔnnɔbɔne, nsabow, agobɔne, didimee ne abosonsom a ɛyɛ akyiwade mu.

For the time past of our life is sufficient for us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, walking in lasciviousness, inordinate desires, excess of wine, revellings, drunkenness, and abominable idolatries:

4 Mprempren ɛyɛ wɔn nwonwa sɛ mo ne wɔn mmɔ mu mmu ahuhubra no bio, ɛno nti wɔyeyaw mo.

in which they think it strange that ye run not with them into the same excess of riot, and therefore speak evil of you:

5 Nanso wobebu ho akontaa akyerɛ Onyankopɔn a wasiesie ne ho bu ateasefo ne awufo atɛn no.

who shall give an account to Him, who is ready to judge the living and the dead.

6 Saa nti na wɔkaa Asɛmpa no kyerɛɛ awufo, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a sɛ wogyina wɔn asetena yi mu nneyɛe so bu wɔn atɛn a wɔn honhom ne Onyankopɔn bɛtena.

For to this end was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged indeed according to men in the flesh, but might live according to God in the spirit.

7 Biribiara awiei abɛn. Ɛsɛ sɛ mohyɛ mo ho so na mowɛn na moatumi abɔ mpae.

But the end of all things draws nigh: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer:

8 Eyi akyi no, monnodɔ mo ho yiye, efisɛ ɔdɔ bunkam bɔne nyinaa so.

having above all things fervent love to each other; for love will cover a multitude of sins.

9 Munnye mo ho mo ho ahɔho wɔ mo afi mu a anwiinwii biara nni mu.

Be hospitable one to another, without grudging;

10 Obiara nnyina Honhom mu adom a wanya no so mfa nsom afoforo.

as every one hath received a gift, imparting it to each other, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

11 Sɛ obi reka asɛm a, ɔnka Onyankopɔn asɛm. Obiara a ɔsom no, mfa ahoɔden a Onyankopɔn de ma no no nsom sɛnea biribiara mu no, wɔbɛfa Yesu Kristo so akamfo Onyankopɔn a anuonyam ne tumi wɔ no daadaa no. Amen. (aiōn g165)

If any one speak, let it be as declaring the oracles of God: if any one minister, let it be as from the power which God affordeth him: that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

12 Anuanom, mommma amane a morehu no nyɛ mo nwonwa te sɛ nea montee so asɛm da.

Beloved, be not surprised at the fiery trial coming upon you, which is to try you, as if some strange thing befel you:

13 Na mmom, momma mo ani nnye sɛ mo ne Kristo rehu amane sɛnea mo ani begye daa, da a ɔbɛda nʼanuonyam adi no.

but rejoice in that ye are partakers in the sufferings of Christ; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may also rejoice with exceeding joy.

14 Nhyira nka mo sɛ moyɛ Kristo akyidifo nti wɔyaw mo. Eyi kyerɛ sɛ anuonyam honhom a ɛyɛ Onyankopɔn Honhom no wɔ mo so.

If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the Spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: and though as to them He is blasphemed, yet as to you He is glorified.

15 Ɛnsɛ sɛ mo mu biara hu amane sɛ owudifo anaa owifo anaa odwotwafo anaa ɔsɛmpɛfo.

But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as a malefactor, or as an intermeddler with other people's affairs.

16 Na sɛ muhu amane wɔ mo Kristosom mu a, mommma mo ani nnwu, na mmom, monna Onyankopɔn ase sɛ moyɛ Kristo de.

But if any suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God herein.

17 Bere adu sɛ wobu atɛn, na Onyankopɔn no ara nkurɔfo na wobedi kan abu wɔn atɛn. Na sɛ efi yɛn so kan a, ebewie Asɛmpa no ho asoɔdenfo no dɛn?

For the time is coming when judgement is to begin at the house of God: and if at us first, what will be the end of those that obey not the gospel of God?

18 Kyerɛwsɛm no ka se, “Ɛyɛ den sɛ wobegye onipa pa nkwa; na wɔn a wonnye asɛm no nni ne nnebɔneyɛfo no de, dɛn na ɛbɛba wɔn so?”

And if the righteous be saved with difficulty, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?

19 Ne saa nti, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔn a wohu amane sɛnea Onyankopɔn ahyehyɛ no de wɔn ho ma Ɔbɔade no na wɔkɔ so yɛ papa.

Wherefore let them, that suffer according to the will of God, commit their souls in well-doing to Him as to a faithful Creator.
