2 Korintofo 7
1 Me nnamfo pa, wɔahyɛ yɛn saa bɔ yi nyinaa. Enti momma yɛntew yɛn ho mfi biribiara a egu ɔhonam anaa ɔkra no ho fi ho na yɛntena ase wɔ Onyankopɔn mu mfa ntew yɛn ho kronkron.
Seeing, therefore, we have these promises, my beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of the flesh and of the spirit; and let us work righteousness, in the fear of God.
2 Mummue mo koma mu mma yɛn. Yɛnyɛɛ obiara bɔne. Yensisii obiara na yetwaa obiara dwow nso.
Bear with us, my brethren; we have done evil to no one; we have corrupted no one; we have wronged no one.
3 Merenka saa asɛm yi mfa ngu mo anim ase. Sɛnea madi kan aka no, yɛdɔ mo nti daa sɛ yewu o, yɛte ase o, yɛbata mo ho.
I speak thus, not to condemn you; for I have said before, that ye are treasured in our hearts, to die and to live together.
4 Migye mo di nti mede mo hoahoa me ho. Yɛn haw nyinaa mu no, mempaa abaw ɛ. Mede ahosɛpɛw retu mmirika no.
I have great assurance before you, and have much glorying in you; and I am full of comfort. And joy greatly aboundeth to me, in all my afflictions.
5 Mpo yeduu Makedonia no, yɛanhome. Na ɔhaw abunkam hɔnom, akasakasa wɔ wɔn ntam na ehu ahyɛ yɛn so.
For, after we came to Macedonia, there was no rest for our body, but we were distressed in every thing; without was conflict, and within was fear.
6 Onyankopɔn a ɔhyɛ wɔn a wɔpa abaw den no nam Tito ba a ɔbae no so hyɛɛ yɛn den.
But God who comforteth the depressed, comforted us by the arrival of Titus.
7 Ɛnyɛ ne ba a ɔbae no nko, na mmom ka a ɔbɛkaa se mohyɛɛ no nkuran no. Ɔkaa sɛnea mopɛ sɛ muhu me no kyerɛɛ me. Ɔkaa sɛnea mudii yaw ne sɛnea na moasiesie mo ho sɛ mobɛbɔ me ho ban no; enti mprempren, ama mʼani agye sen kan no.
And not merely by his arrival, but also by the refreshing with which he was refreshed by you. For he told us of your love towards us, and of your grief, and of your zeal in our behalf: and when I heard it, my joy was great.
8 Sɛ me krataa a mekyerɛw mo no hyɛɛ mo awerɛhow a, ɛnyɛ me yaw sɛ mekyerɛwee. Mfiase no ɛhaw me nanso mprempren de, ɛnhaw me. Minim sɛ krataa no mu nsɛm how mo werɛ bere tiaa bi.
And although I made you sad by the epistle, I do not regret it, though I did regret it; for I see that that epistle, though for a time it made you sad,
9 Nanso mprempren de, mʼani agye; ɛnyɛ sɛ memaa mo werɛ howee no nti, na mmom sɛ mo awerɛhow no ama moasesa mo akwan. Onyankopɔn na ɔmaa mo werɛ howee enti yɛn de, yɛanhaw mo.
yet it procured me joy, not because ye had sorrow, but because your sorrow brought you to repentance; for ye sorrowed in godly sorrow; so that ye received no detriment from us.
10 Awerɛhow a Onyankopɔn de baa mo so no nti, moanya ahonu bi a ɛnam so de mo bɛkɔ nkwagye mu; enti ɛnsɛ sɛ ɛyɛ mo yaw. Nanso awerɛhow a wiase de brɛ yɛn no de, ɛde owu na ɛba.
For, sorrowing on account of God, worketh a conversion of the soul which is not reversed, and a turning unto life: but the sorrowing of the world worketh death.
11 Monhwɛ nea Onyankopɔn nam how a ɔmaa mo werɛ how no so ayɛ. Mopɛ sɛ mufi mo koma mu kyerɛ sɛ munni fɔ. Mo bo afuw. Mo ho adwiriw mo. Mo ho pere mo pɛ sɛ muhu sɛ atɛntrenee ayɛ adwuma. Moakyerɛ sɛ mudi bem wɔ asɛm yi ho.
For behold this same thing, that ye were distressed on account of God, what solicitude it wrought in you, and apologizing and indignation, and fear, and love, and zeal, and revenge? And in all things ye have shown, that ye are now pure in that matter.
12 Ɛwɔ mu sɛ mekyerɛw saa krataa no de, nanso ɛnyɛ obi a ɔyɛ bɔne anaa obi a wɔyɛ no bɔne nti na mekyerɛwee. Na mmom sɛnea mo ankasa mubehu ɔkwan a moafa so atu mo ho asi hɔ ama yɛn wɔ Onyankopɔn anim no.
And it will be seen that I wrote to you, not for the sake of him who did the wrong, nor for the sake of him who received the wrong, only, but that your solicitude in respect to us might be known before God.
13 Ɛno na ɛhyɛ yɛn nkuran no. Ɛnyɛ nkuran a ɛhyɛɛ yɛn no nko. Tito nso nam gye a mugyee no maa nʼani gyee no so maa yɛn nso yɛn ani gyei.
Wherefore we were comforted; and with our consolation, we were the more joyful for the joy of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all:
14 Mede mo ahoahoa me ho akyerɛ no na moanni me nhuammɔ. Daa yɛka nokware kyerɛ mo na hoa a mede mo hoahoa me ho kyerɛ Tito no nso aba mu.
so that I was not ashamed of that in which I had gloried to him, respecting you; but as in every thing we spoke the truth to you, so also our glorying before Titus, is found to be in truth:
15 Enti sɛ ɔkae sɛnea mo nyinaa pɛɛ sɛ moyɛ osetie ma no na mode obu ne nidi gyee no fɛw so no a, ɛhyɛ ɔdɔ a ɔdɔ mo no mu den.
and also his bowels are the more enlarged towards you, while he remembereth the submission of you all, and how ye received him with fear and trembling.
16 Ɛyɛ me anigye sɛ metumi de me ho nyinaa ato mo so.
I rejoice, that in every thing I have full confidence in you.
