2 Korintofo 5
1 Yenim sɛ sɛ yewu na yegyaw saa nipadua yi a yebenya nipadua foforo a Onyankopɔn ankasa ayɛ a ɛbɛtena hɔ daa wɔ ɔsoro hɔ. (aiōnios g166)
For we have known that if the tent of our earthly house may be thrown down, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands—perpetual—in the heavens, (aiōnios g166)
2 Mprempren, yesi apini pɛ sɛ wɔde ɔsoro atenae foforo no kata yɛn ho,
for also in this we groan, earnestly desiring to clothe ourselves with our dwelling that is from Heaven,
3 efisɛ sɛ wɔde kata yɛn ho a yɛn ho renna hɔ bio.
if so be that, having clothed ourselves, we will not be found naked,
4 Na sɛ yɛwɔ saa ɔhonam yi mu a, yesi apini na adesoa bi da yɛn so; ɛnyɛ sɛ yɛmpɛ sɛ yegyaw nipadua no, na mmom yɛpɛ sɛ wɔde ɔsoro atenae foforo no kata yɛn ho sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a nkwa bɛmene nea ewu no.
for we also who are in the tent groan, being burdened, seeing we do not wish to unclothe ourselves, but to clothe ourselves, that the mortal may be swallowed up of life.
5 Onyankopɔn na wasiesie yɛn ama saa nsakrae yi. Na ɔde ne Honhom no maa yɛn sɛ nea ɔwɔ ma yɛn no nyinaa akyigyinade.
And He who worked us to this very thing [is] God, who also gave to us the deposit of the Spirit;
6 Eyi nti, daa yɛwɔ akokoduru. Yenim sɛ mmere dodow a yɛwɔ saa nipadua yi mu no, ɛma yɛne Awurade fi kwan ware.
having courage, then, at all times, and knowing that being at home in the body, we are away from home from the LORD—
7 Efisɛ yɛn nkwa gyina gyidi so na ennyina nea yehu so.
for we walk through faith, not through sight—
8 Yɛwɔ nkuranhyɛ nti ɛyɛ yɛn pɛ sɛ yebetu afi yɛn fi wɔ saa honam yi mu na yɛne Awurade akɔtena ne fi.
we have courage, and are well pleased, rather, to be away from the home of the body, and to be at home with the LORD.
9 Sɛ yɛwɔ yɛn fi ha anaa nohɔ no, yɛpɛ sɛ yɛsɔ nʼani sen biribiara.
We are also ambitious for this reason, whether at home or away from home, to be well pleasing to Him,
10 Efisɛ ɛsɛ sɛ yɛn nyinaa ba Kristo anim ma obu yɛn atɛn. Sɛnea obiara tenaa ase wɔ nipadua no abrabɔ mu no, sɛ ɛyɛ papa anaa bɔne no, wobegyina so abu no atɛn.
for it is necessary for all of us to have appeared before the judgment seat of the Christ, that each one may receive the things [done] through the body, in reference to the things that he did, whether good or evil;
11 Efisɛ yenim sɛnea yesuro Awurade nti, yɛka ne ho asɛmpa kyerɛ nnipa. Onyankopɔn nim yɛn yiye na mewɔ anidaso sɛ munim me nso wɔ mo koma mu.
having known, therefore, the fear of the LORD, we persuade men, and we are revealed to God, and I also hope to have been revealed in your consciences;
12 Yɛrensan nka yɛn ho asɛmpa nkyerɛ mo, na mmom yɛrebɔ ho mmɔden sɛnea mode yɛn bɛhoahoa mo ho na moatumi abua wɔn a wɔde nnipa anim hoahoa wɔn ho na ɛnyɛ wɔn su no.
for we do not again recommend ourselves to you, but we are giving occasion to you of glorifying in our behalf, that you may have [something] in reference to those glorifying in face and not in heart;
13 Sɛ yɛabobɔ adam a ɛyɛ yɛne Onyankopɔn ntam asɛm. Nanso sɛ yɛn adwene mu da hɔ a, eye ma mo yiyedi.
for whether we were beside ourselves, [it was] to God; whether we be of sound mind, [it is] to you,
14 Afei a yɛahu sɛ onipa baako na owu maa nnipa nyinaa wuu bi no nti, Kristo dɔ a ɔde dɔ yɛn no na ɛhyɛ yɛn. Eyi kyerɛ sɛ nnipa nyinaa wɔ ne wu no mu kyɛfa bi.
for the love of the Christ constrains us, having judged thus: that if one died for all, then the whole died,
15 Owu maa yɛn nyinaa, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a wɔn a wɔte ase no rentena ase mma wɔn ho bio, na mmom wɔbɛtena ase ama nea yɛn nti owui a wɔma ɔsɔre fii awufo mu no.
and He died for all, that those living may no longer live to themselves, but to Him who died for them, and was raised again.
16 Enti ɛnsɛ sɛ yegyina onipa adwene so bu obiara atɛn bio. Na sɛ mpo bere bi a atwam no na yegyina nnipa adwene so na yehu Kristo a, afei de, yɛrenyɛ saa bio.
So that we, from now on, have known no one according to the flesh, and even if we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him [thus] no longer;
17 Sɛ obi wɔ Kristo mu a, na ɔyɛ abɔde foforo, na nneɛma dedaw nyinaa atwam ama nneɛma foforo aba.
so that if anyone [is] in Christ—[he is] a new creature; the old things passed away, behold, all things have become new.
18 Onyankopɔn ayɛ ne nyinaa. Ɔsomaa Kristo sɛ ɔmmɛpata ɔne yɛn ntam na ɔde ɔne afoforo ntam mpata dwumadi no ahyɛ yɛn nsa.
And all things [are] of God, who reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and gave to us the ministry of the reconciliation,
19 Asɛm a wɔde abrɛ yɛn ne sɛ, Onyankopɔn nam Kristo so afa nnipa nyinaa adamfo. Onyankopɔn ankan wɔn bɔne antia wɔn na ɔde nʼasomdwoe asɛnka ho dwumadi no ahyɛ yɛn nsa.
how that God was in Christ—reconciling the world to Himself, not reckoning to them their trespasses; and having put in us the word of the reconciliation,
20 Enti yɛyɛ asomafo ma Kristo, na ɛte sɛnea Onyankopɔn nam yɛn so kasa kyerɛ mo. Yesi Kristo anan mu srɛ mo sɛ, momma wɔmfa mo mmata Onyankopɔn ho.
in behalf of Christ, then, we are ambassadors, as if God were calling through us, we implore, in behalf of Christ, “Be reconciled to God”;
21 Na Kristo nni bɔne, nanso yɛn nti Onyankopɔn ma ɔfaa yɛn bɔne, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a yɛnam ɔno Kristo so bɛyɛ atreneefo wɔ Onyankopɔn anim.
He made Him having not known sin [to be] sin in our behalf, that we may become the righteousness of God in Him.
