2 Korintofo 11

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

O that you were bearing with me a little of the folly, but you also bear with 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 zealous for you with zeal of God, for I betrothed you to one Husband, a pure virgin, to present 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.

and I fear, lest, as the serpent deceived Eve in his subtlety, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that [is] in the 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, indeed, he who is coming preaches another Jesus whom we did not preach, or you receive another spirit which you did not receive, or other good news which you did not accept—well were you bearing [it],

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

for I reckon that I have been nothing behind the very chiefest apostles,

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

and even if a commoner in speech—yet not in knowledge, but in everything we were made evident in all things to you.

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?

Did I do sin—humbling myself that you might be exalted, because I freely proclaimed the good news of God to you?

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

I robbed other assemblies, having taken wages, for your ministry;

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 being present with you, and having been in want, I was chargeable to no one, for the brothers supplied my lack—having come from Macedonia—and I kept myself burdenless to you in everything, and will keep.

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

The truth of Christ is in me, because this boasting will not be stopped in regard to me in the regions of Achaia;

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

for what reason? Because I do not love you? God has known!

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.

And what I do, I also will do, that I may cut off the occasion of those wishing an occasion, that in that which they boast they may be found according as we also;

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 those such [are] false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ,

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

and no wonder—for even Satan transforms himself into a messenger 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.

[it is] no great thing, then, if his servants also transform themselves as servants of righteousness—whose end will be according to their works.

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.

Again I say, may no one think me to be a fool; and if otherwise, receive me even as a fool, that I also may boast a little.

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

That which I speak, I do not speak according to the LORD, but as in foolishness, in this the confidence of boasting;

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

since many boast according to the flesh, I also will boast:

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

for you gladly bear with the fools—being 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 you bear, if anyone is bringing you under bondage, if anyone devours, if anyone takes away, if anyone exalts himself, if anyone strikes 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 speak in reference to dishonor, how that we were weak, and in whatever anyone is bold—in foolishness I say [it]—I also am bold.

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

Are they Hebrews? I also! Are they Israelites? I also! Are they seed of Abraham? I also!

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.

Are they servants of Christ? As [if] beside myself I speak—I [am] more; in labors more abundantly, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequently, in deaths many times.

24 Yudafo bɔɔ me mmaa aduasa akron ahorow anum.

Five times I received from Jews forty [stripes] except 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.

three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I was shipwrecked, I have passed a night and a day in the deep;

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.

journeys many times, perils of rivers, perils of robbers, perils from [my own] race, perils from nations, perils in city, perils in wilderness, perils in sea, perils among false brothers;

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 laboriousness and painfulness, many times in watchings, in hunger and thirst, many times in fastings, in cold and nakedness;

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

apart from the things without—the crowding on me that is daily—the care of all the assemblies.

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 weak, and I am not weak? Who is stumbled, and I am not burned?

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

If it is necessary to boast, I will boast of the things of my weakness;

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

the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ—who is blessed for all ages—has known that I do not lie! (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 governor [under] Aretas the king was watching the city of the Damascenes, wishing to seize 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.

and I was let down through a window in a rope basket, through the wall, and fled out of his hands.
