2 Korintofo 13
1 Nsra a ɛto so abiɛsa a merebɛsra mo ni. Kyerɛwsɛm no ka se, “Adanse a nnipa baanu anaa baasa bedi no na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔfa.”
I come to you this third time; on the mouth of two or three witnesses will every saying be established;
2 Bere a mebaa mo nkyɛn nea ɛto so abien no, mebɔɔ mo kɔkɔ bi. Mereti mu mprempren a minni mo nkyɛn yi. Sɛ mesan ba bio a, meremfa mo anaa nnipa afoforo bi a wɔayɛ bɔne no ho nkyɛ wɔn,
I have said before, and I say [it] before, as being present, the second time, and being absent, now, I write to those having sinned before, and to all the rest, that if I come again, I will not spare,
3 efisɛ mopɛ sɛ muhu nsɛnkyerɛnne bi sɛ Kristo nam me so kasa. Ɔnyɛ mmerɛw sɛ ɔbɛyɛ mo mu adwuma, na mmom ɔwɔ tumi wɔ mo mu.
since you seek a proof of the Christ speaking in me, who is not weak to you, but is powerful in you,
4 Ɛwɔ mu sɛ mmerɛwyɛ mu na wɔbɔɔ no asennua mu, nanso Onyankopɔn tumi mu na ɔte ase yi. Yɛyɛ mmerɛw de, nanso ayɔnkofa a yɛne no wɔ nti, yɛne no bɛtena wɔ Onyankopɔn tumi mu.
for even if He was crucified from weakness, yet He lives from the power of God; for we also are weak in Him, but we will live with Him from the power of God toward you.
5 Monsɔ mo ho nhwɛ, na mummu mo ho atɛn nhwɛ sɛ mote ase wɔ gyidi mu ana. Munim yiye sɛ Kristo Yesu te mo mu ana? Sɛ ɔnte mo mu a na ɛkyerɛ sɛ moantumi sɔhwɛ no.
Try yourselves, if you are in the faith; prove yourselves; do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you, if you are not disapproved of in some respect?
6 Minim yiye sɛ mubehu sɛ yɛanni nkogu.
And I hope that you will know that we are not disapproved of;
7 Afei yɛbɔ mpae srɛ Onyankopɔn sɛ morenyɛ biribiara a enye. Yɛmpɛ sɛ nnipa behu sɛ yɛwɔ tumi bi wɔ mo so. Mpo sɛ wohu yɛn sɛ yɛsɛ nnipa a yɛadi nkogu wɔ yɛn adwuma mu a, yɛpɛ, efisɛ yɛpɛ sɛ mobɛyɛ nea eye de adi nkonim.
and I pray before God that you do no evil, not that we may appear approved, but that you may do that which is right, and we may be as disapproved;
8 Yɛrentumi nsɔre ntia nokware, na mmom nokware nko ara na ɛsɛ sɛ yegyina ma no.
for we are not able to do anything against the truth, but for the truth;
9 Sɛ yehu sɛ yɛyɛ mmerɛw na moyɛ den a, na yɛn ani agye. Enti yɛn nso yɛrebɔ mpae sɛ mobɛyɛ pɛ.
for we rejoice when we may be weak, but you may be powerful; and we also pray for this—your perfection!
10 Ɛno nti na merekyerɛw saa krataa yi abrɛ mo, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ na, sɛ meba a merennyina tumi a Awurade de ama me sɛ memfa mmoa mo na munyin na mo mu antetew no so ne mo nni no anibere so.
Because of this, these things—being absent—I write, that being present, I may not treat [any] sharply, according to the authority that the LORD gave me for building up, and not for casting down.
11 Enti anuanom, makra mo! Mompere nhwehwɛ ade pa; muntie mʼafotu; mo ne mo ho mo ho nka na montena ase asomdwoe mu. Na ɔdɔ ne asomdwoe Nyankopɔn no ne mo bɛtena.
From now on, brothers, rejoice; be made perfect, be comforted, be of the same mind, be at peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you.
12 Momfa onuadɔ nkyiakyia mo ho mo ho.
Greet one another in a holy kiss.
13 Onyankopɔn nkurɔfo nyinaa kyiakyia mo.
All the holy ones greet you.
14 Yɛn Awurade Yesu Kristo dom ne Onyankopɔn dɔ ne Honhom Kronkron no ayɔnkofa nka mo nyinaa.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, [is] with you all! Amen.
