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 know that if our earthly house of [this] tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. (aiōnios g166)

2 Mprempren, yesi apini pɛ sɛ wɔde ɔsoro atenae foforo no kata yɛn ho,

For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed with our house which is from heaven:

3 efisɛ sɛ wɔde kata yɛn ho a yɛn ho renna hɔ bio.

If so be that being clothed we shall 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 that are in [this] tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not because we would be unclothed, but clothed, that mortality might be swallowed up in 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.

Now he that hath wrought us for this same thing [is] God, who also hath given to us the earnest 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.

Therefore [we are] always confident, knowing that, while we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:

7 Efisɛ yɛn nkwa gyina gyidi so na ennyina nea yehu so.

(For we walk by faith, not by 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 are confident, [I say], and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

9 Sɛ yɛwɔ yɛn fi ha anaa nohɔ no, yɛpɛ sɛ yɛsɔ nʼani sen biribiara.

Wherefore we labor, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted by 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 we must all appear before the judgment-seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things [done] in [his] body, according to what he hath done, whether good or bad.

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.

Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest to God; and I trust also are made manifest 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 commend not ourselves again to you, but give you occasion to glory on our behalf, that ye may have somewhat to [answer] them who glory in appearance, 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 are beside ourselves, [it is] to God: or whether we are sober, [it is] for your cause.

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 Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:

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 [that] he died for all, that they who live should not henceforth live to themselves, but to him who died for them, and rose 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.

Wherefore henceforth we know no man according to the flesh: though indeed we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now henceforth we know [him] no more.

17 Sɛ obi wɔ Kristo mu a, na ɔyɛ abɔde foforo, na nneɛma dedaw nyinaa atwam ama nneɛma foforo aba.

Therefore, if any man [is] in Christ, [he is] a new creature: old things have 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] from God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of 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.

To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, not imputing their trespasses to them; and hath committed to us the word of 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.

Now then we are embassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech [you] by us: we pray [you] in Christ's stead, be ye 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.

For he hath made him [to be] sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
