2 Korintofo 11

1 Mewɔ anidaso sɛ, sɛ meyɛ nkwaseade koraa a mubegye me. Mepa mo kyɛw, monyɛ saa.

Woulde to God, yee coulde suffer a litle my foolishnes, and in deede, ye suffer me.

2 Metwe mo ho ninkunu sɛnea Onyankopɔn twe mo ho ninkunu no. Mote sɛ ɔbabun a mahyɛ ɔbarima baako pɛ bi a ɔno ne Kristo no bɔ sɛ mede mo bɛma no aware.

For I am ielous ouer you, with godly ielousie: for I haue prepared you for one husband, to present you as a pure virgine to Christ:

3 Misuro sɛ wɔbɛsɛe mo adwene na mo a mode mo ho nyinaa ama Kristo no, mubegyae sɛnea ɔwɔ no nam anifere so daadaa Hawa no.

But I feare least as the serpent beguiled Eue through his subtiltie, so your mindes shoulde be corrupt from the simplicitie that is in Christ.

4 Mode anigye gye obiara a ɔba mo nkyɛn bɛka Yesu foforo a ɔnyɛ nea yɛka ne ho asɛm kyerɛ mo no di; mugye honhom bi ne asɛmpa bi a nsonoe da ɛno ne Honhom ne Asɛmpa a yɛka kyerɛ mo no ntam no di.

For if he that commeth, preacheth another Iesus whome we haue not preached: or if yee receiue another spirite whome ye haue not receiued: either another Gospell, which yee haue not receiued, ye might well haue suffered him.

5 Minnye nni sɛ meyɛ “Asomafo” no mu abomfiaa.

Verely I suppose that I was not inferior to the very chiefe Apostles.

6 Ebia mʼano ntew de, nanso mʼadwene mu abue. Yɛnam akwannuasa so akyerɛ mo eyi ase fann.

And though I be rude in speaking, yet I am not so in knowledge, but among you wee haue beene made manifest to the vttermost, in all things.

7 Mebɛkaa Onyankopɔn Asɛmpa no kyerɛɛ mo no, mannye mo hwee. Mebrɛɛ me ho ase sɛnea ɛbɛma mo akrɔn. So bɔne a meyɛɛ ne sɛ meyɛɛ saa ana?

Haue I committed an offence, because I abased my selfe, that ye might be exalted, and because I preached to you ye Gospell of God freely?

8 Bere a na mereyɛ mo mu adwuma no, asafo afoforo bi na na wotua me ka.

I robbed other Churches, and tooke wages of them to doe you seruice.

9 Bere a na mewɔ mo nkyɛn no, sɛ sika ho hia me a, na menhaw mo. Na anuanom a wɔte Makedonia no de biribiara a ɛho hia me brɛ me. Sɛnea na ɛte mmere a atwa mu no, saa ara nso na daakye ɛbɛyɛ. Merenyɛ adesoa mma mo da.

And when I was present with you, and had neede, I was not slouthfull to the hinderance of any man: for that which was lacking vnto me, the brethre which came from Macedonia, supplied, and in all thinges I kept and will keepe my selfe, that I should not be grieuous to you.

10 Kristo nokwaredi a ahyɛ me ma nti, mehyɛ mo bɔ sɛ obiara rentumi nka mʼahohoahoa yi nhyɛ wɔ Helaman mu da.

The trueth of Christ is in me, that this reioycing shall not be shut vp against me in the regions of Achaia.

11 Adɛn nti na meka saa? Efisɛ mennɔ mo ana? Onyankopɔn nim sɛ medɔ mo.

Wherefore? because I loue you not? God knoweth.

12 Mɛkɔ so adi dwuma a meredi no mprempren yi sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a saa “asomafo” no rennya kwan nhoahoa wɔn ho sɛ dwuma a wodi no te sɛ yɛn dwuma a yedi no ara pɛ.

But what I doe, that will I doe: that I may cut away occasion from them which desire occasion, that they might be found like vnto vs in that wherein they reioyce.

13 Saa nnipa no nyɛ nokware asomafo. Wɔyɛ atoro asomafo a wɔnam twa atoro wɔ wɔn adwuma ho ma nnipa hu wɔn sɛ wɔyɛ Kristo asomafo.

For such false apostles are deceitfull workers, and transforme themselues into the Apostles of Christ.

14 Ɛnyɛ me nwonwa, efisɛ ɔbonsam koraa tumi sesa ne ho ma ɔdan yɛ sɛ hann.

And no marueile: for Satan himselfe is transformed into an Angel of light.

15 Enti ɛnyɛ nwonwa sɛ nʼasomfo tumi sesa wɔn ho de daadaa nnipa sɛ wɔyɛ papa. Awiei no, wobenya wɔn nneyɛe so akatua pɛpɛɛpɛ.

Therefore it is no great thing, though his ministers transforme themselues, as though they were the ministers of righteousnes, whose end shall be according to their workes.

16 Miti mu ka bio se: Ɛnsɛ sɛ obiara susuw sɛ meyɛ ɔkwasea. Sɛ mususuw saa a, ɛno de munnye me sɛnea mubegye ɔkwasea na menam so atumi ahoahoa me ho.

I say againe, Let no man thinke that I am foolish, or els take mee euen as a foole, that I also may boast my selfe a litle.

17 Asɛm a mereka yi nyɛ nea Awurade pɛ sɛ meka. Meka ahohoahoa ho asɛm a, na mekasa sɛ ɔkwasea.

That I speake, I speake it not after the Lord: but as it were foolishly, in this my great boasting.

18 Nanso esiane sɛ nnipa bebree hoahoa wɔn ho wɔ nipasu mu nti, me nso mɛyɛ saa.

Seeing that many reioyce after the flesh, I will reioyce also.

19 Mo ankasa mo ani atew nti mode anigye gye nkwaseafo.

For ye suffer fooles gladly, because that yee are wise.

20 Mugye obi a ɔhyɛ mo so anaa nea onya mo ho biribi anaa nea osum mo afiri anaa nea ommu mo anaa nea ɔbɔ mo ani so.

For ye suffer, euen if a man bring you into bondage, if a man deuoure you, if a man take your goods, if a man exalt himselfe, if a man smite you on the face.

21 Mede fɛre gye eyi to mu sɛ yɛyɛ mmerɛw dodo wɔ eyi mu. Sɛ obi gye kyim de biribi hoahoa ne ho a, merekasa sɛ ɔkwasea, me nso megye kyim ahoahoa me ho wɔ dekode no ho bi.

I speake as concerning the reproche: as though that we had bene weake: but wherein any man is bold (I speake foolishly) I am bold also.

22 Wɔyɛ Hebrifo ana? Me nso meyɛ bi. Wɔyɛ Israelfo ana? Me nso meyɛ bi. Wɔyɛ Abraham asefo ana? Me nso meyɛ bi.

They are Hebrues, so am I: they are Israelites, so am I: they are the seede of Abraham, so am I:

23 Wɔyɛ Kristo asomfo ana? Merekasa sɛ ɔbɔdamfo. Nanso meyɛ ɔsomfo pa sen wɔn. Mayɛ adwuma a ɛyɛ den sen wɔn; mada afiase mpɛn bebree; wɔabɔ me mmaa bebree na metaa mebɛn owu nso.

They are the ministers of Christ (I speake as a foole) I am more: in labours more aboundant: in stripes aboue measure: in prison more plenteously: in death oft.

24 Yudafo bɔɔ me mmaa aduasa akron ahorow anum.

Of the Iewes fiue times receiued I fourtie stripes saue one.

25 Romafo bɔɔ me mmaa mprɛnsa na wosiw me abo pɛnkoro. Metenaa ahyɛn mu ma ɛbɔɔ mprɛnsa. Madi asu ase nnɔnhwerew aduonu anan pɛn.

I was thrise beaten with roddes: I was once stoned: I suffered thrise shipwracke: night and day haue I bene in the deepe sea.

26 Mʼakwantu ahorow mu no, mihyiaa nsuyiri ne akwamukafo. Mihuu amane wɔ Yudafo ne amanamanmufo nsam. Mihuu nkurow so amane. Mihuu wuram amane. Mihuu po so amane ne nnamfo a wɔnka nokware nsam amane.

In iourneying I was often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils of mine owne nation, in perils among the Gentiles, in perils in the citie, in perils in wildernes, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren,

27 Mayɛ adwuma a ɛyɛ den na ɔbrɛ wɔ mu. Mpɛn pii menna. Ɔkɔm ne osukɔm dee me. Mpɛn pii minnya aduan a ɛbɛso me nni. Minnya baabi nna anaa atade nhyɛ.

In wearinesse and painefulnesse, in watching often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in colde and in nakednesse.

28 Bere biara na mema asafo ahorow no ho nsɛm yɛ me nsɛnhia.

Beside the thinges which are outwarde, I am combred dayly, and haue the care of all the Churches.

29 Sɛ obi yɛ mmerɛw a ɛma me nso meyɛ mmerɛw. Sɛ obi ka ɔfoforo kɔ bɔne mu a ɛma me werɛ how.

Who is weake, and I am not weake? who is offended, and I burne not?

30 Sɛ mehoahoa me ho a, na ɛsɛ sɛ mehoahoa me ho wɔ nneɛma a ɛkyerɛ me mmerɛwyɛ no mu.

If I must needes reioyce, I will reioyce of mine infirmities.

31 Awurade Yesu no, Onyankopɔn ne Agya no a ɛsɛ sɛ yɛkamfo no no nim sɛ merentwa nkontompo. (aiōn g165)

The God, euen the Father of our Lord Iesus Christ, which is blessed for euermore, knoweth that I lie not. (aiōn g165)

32 Bere a mewɔ Damasko no, Amrado a na ɔhyɛ Ɔhene Areta ase no maa awɛmfo wɛn kurow no pon pɛɛ sɛ wɔkyere me.

In Damascus the gouernour of the people vnder King Aretas, layde watch in the citie of the Damascens, and would haue caught me.

33 Nanso wɔde me sii kɛntɛn mu twetwee me faa ɔfasu bi a apae tokuru mu de me sii fam ma miguan fii ne nsam.

But at a window was I let downe in a basket through the wall, and escaped his handes.
