2 Korintofo 3
1 Eyi kyerɛ sɛ yɛrehoahoa yɛn ho bio ana? Anaasɛ yehia adansedi nkrataa a efi yɛn nkyɛn anaa mo nkyɛn sɛnea afoforo hia no ana?
Do we begin again to recommend ourselves, except we need, as some, letters of recommendation unto you, or from you?
2 Mo ankasa moyɛ krataa a ɛwɔ yɛn nkyɛn a wɔakyerɛw wɔ yɛn koma mu sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a obiara behu na wakenkan.
our letter ye are, having been written in our hearts, known and read by all men,
3 Mote sɛ krataa a Kristo nam yɛn som so akyerɛw. Ɛnyɛ adubiri na wɔde kyerɛw no ɔbo pon so na mmom Onyankopɔn a ɔte ase no Honhom na wɔde kyerɛw guu nnipa koma mu.
manifested that ye are a letter of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God, not in the tablets of stone, but in fleshy tablets of the heart,
4 Saa ahotoso yi na yɛnam Kristo so anya wɔ Onyankopɔn fam.
and such trust we have through the Christ toward God,
5 Biribiara nni yɛn mu a ebetumi ama yɛasi yɛn bo aka se yebetumi ayɛ saa adwuma yi. Ahoɔden a yɛwɔ no fii Onyankopɔn.
not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think anything, as of ourselves, but our sufficiency [is] of God,
6 Ɔno na wama yɛn afata sɛ NʼApam Foforo ho asomfo. Efi Honhom Kronkron no na emfi mmara a wɔakyerɛw. Mmara de owu ba na Honhom no ne nea ɛma nkwa.
who also made us sufficient [to be] ministrants of a new covenant, not of letter, but of spirit; for the letter doth kill, and the spirit doth make alive.
7 Mmara a ɛde owu bae no, na wɔakyerɛw no ɔbo pon so, nanso anuonyam a na ekura no nti nnipa no antumi anhwɛ Mose anim. Mose anuonyam hyerɛnee nanso saa anuonyam no dumii.
and if the ministration of the death, in letters, engraved in stones, came in glory, so that the sons of Israel were not able to look stedfastly to the face of Moses, because of the glory of his face — which was being made useless,
8 Enti apam a Honhom no de ba no rennya anuonyam mmoroso ana?
how shall the ministration of the Spirit not be more in glory?
9 Sɛ mmara a ɛde owu ba no wɔ anuonyam a, ɛno de nea ɛma yɛteɛ wɔ Onyankopɔn anim no rennya anuonyam a ɛboro so ana?
for if the ministration of the condemnation [is] glory, much more doth the ministration of the righteousness abound in glory;
10 Nokware mu, Apam Foforo no anuonyam mmoroso nti, mmara a ɛde owu ba no anuonyam ayera.
for also even that which hath been glorious, hath not been glorious — in this respect, because of the superior glory;
11 Na sɛ anuonyam wɔ biribi a ɛnkyɛ mu a, ade a ɛwɔ hɔ daa no anuonyam bɛyɛ nea ɛso yiye.
for if that which is being made useless [is] through glory, much more that which is remaining [is] in glory.
12 Esiane sɛ yɛwɔ saa anidaso yi nti, yɛwɔ akokoduru.
Having, then, such hope, we use much freedom of speech,
13 Yɛnte sɛ Mose a ɔde nkataanim kataa nʼanim sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a Israelfo no renhu nea ɛretwa mu no awiei.
and [are] not as Moses, who was putting a vail upon his own face, for the sons of Israel not stedfastly to look to the end of that which is being made useless,
14 Nanso ntease a wɔannya no nti besi nnɛ yi, sɛ wɔkenkan Apam Dedaw nhoma no a, saa nkataanim no da so kata wɔn adwene so. Ansa na nkataanim no befi hɔ no, gye sɛ wogye Kristo di.
but their minds were hardened, for unto this day the same vail at the reading of the Old Covenant doth remain unwithdrawn — which in Christ is being made useless —
15 Nnɛ yi mpo, bere biara a wɔbɛkenkan Mose mmara no, nkataanim no da so kata wɔn koma so.
but till to-day, when Moses is read, a vail upon their heart doth lie,
16 Nanso sɛ obi gye Awurade di a woyi nkataanim no fi hɔ.
and whenever they may turn unto the Lord, the vail is taken away.
17 Na Awurade ne Honhom no, na baabiara a Awurade Honhom wɔ no ahotɔ wɔ hɔ.
And the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord [is], there [is] liberty;
18 Yɛn a nkataanim biara nkata yɛn anim no, Awurade anuonyam hyerɛn wɔ yɛn anim, na Awurade Honhom no sakra yɛn kɔ nʼanuonyam mu.
and we all, with unvailed face, the glory of the Lord beholding in a mirror, to the same image are being transformed, from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
