Filipifo 4
1 Enti anuanom, medɔ mo na mʼani agyina mo. Moama me ho asan me enti me nso mede mo hoahoa me ho. Adɔfonom, saa na ɛsɛ sɛ mugyina pintinn wɔ Awurade mu.
So then, my brethren, beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, —thus, stand fast in the Lord, beloved.
2 Euodia ne Sintike, mesrɛ mo, montena ase sɛ anuanom wɔ Awurade mu.
Euodia, I exhort, and, Syntche, I exhort, —on the same thing, to be resolved in the Lord: —
3 Na wo nso a woka me ho a migye wo di no mepɛ sɛ woboa saa mmea yi, efisɛ wɔde wɔn ahoɔden nyinaa aboa me ama Asɛmpa no mu atrɛw a Klemens ne mʼahokafo bi a wɔn din hyɛ Onyankopɔn nkwa nhoma no mu no nso ka ho.
Yea! I request thee also, true yokefellow, be thou helping together with these women, —who, indeed, in the joyful message, have maintained the combat with me, along with Clement also, and the rest of my fellow-workers, whose names, are in the book of life.
4 Meka ti mu se, daa munnya ahosɛpɛw wɔ Awurade mu; mo ho nsɛpɛw mo.
Rejoice in the Lord always: again, I will say—rejoice!
5 Mommrɛ mo ho ase mma nnipa nyinaa. Ɛrenkyɛ Awurade bɛba.
Let, your considerateness, be known unto all men. The Lord, is near: —
6 Mommma biribiara nhaw mo. Daa mo nkotosrɛ ne aseda mpaebɔ nyinaa mu no, momma mo adesrɛ nnu Onyankopɔn anim.
For nothing, be anxious, but, in everything, by your prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let, your petitions, be made known unto God;
7 Na Onyankopɔn asomdwoe a ɛtra ade nyinaa so no bɛhwɛ mo koma ne mo adwene so wɔ Kristo Yesu mu.
And, the peace of God, which riseth above every mind, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts, in Christ Jesus.
8 Anuanom, asɛm a mede rewie ne sɛ nea ɛyɛ nokware, nea ɛwɔ anuonyam, nea ɛteɛ, nea ɛho tew, nea ɛwɔ ɔdɔ, nea ɛwɔ din pa, sɛ ɔbra pa bi wɔ hɔ a, sɛ ayeyi bi wɔ hɔ a, saa nneɛma yi ho na munnwen.
For the rest, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are dignified, whatsoever things are righteous, whatsoever things are chaste, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report, —if there be any virtue, and if any praise, the same, be taking into account;
9 Nea moasua, na moanya afi me nkyɛn wɔ nsɛm ne nneyɛe mu no na monyɛ. Na Onyankopɔn a ɔma yɛn asomdwoe no bɛka mo ho.
The things which ye have both learned, and accepted, and heard, and seen in me, the same, practise; —and, the God of peace, shall be with you.
10 Mʼani gye wɔ Awurade mu sɛ afei de moakyerɛ ɔdɔ a mode dɔ me. Ɛyɛ nokware sɛ modɔ me de, nanso na munnya ho kwan nkyerɛ saa.
Howbeit I have been made to rejoice in the Lord greatly—that, now, at length, ye have flourished in your care for me, —although, indeed, ye were caring, but lacked opportunity.
11 Menka saa asɛm yi nkyerɛ sɛ ahia me efisɛ me suahu nti, tebea biara a mekɔ mu no nhaw me.
Not that, as to coming short, I am speaking, for, I, have learned, in whatsoever circumstances I am, to be, independent:
12 Minim ohia, nim ahonya; masua saa ahintasɛm yi, enti baabiara ne bere biara, sɛ ɔkɔm de me anaa mamee, sɛ mewɔ bebree anaa kakraa bi no, mepɛ no saa ara.
I know [what it is] even to be kept low, and I know [what it is] to have more than enough, —in every way, and in all things, have I been let into the secret—both to be well fed, and to be hungering, both to have more than enough, and to be coming short:
13 Ahoɔden a Kristo de ma me no nti mitumi gyina tebea biara ano.
I have might, for all things, in him that empowereth me.
14 Eye sɛ moboaa me wɔ mʼamanehunu mu.
Nevertheless, nobly, have ye done, in taking fellowship with me in my tribulation.
15 Mo Filipifo no ankasa nim pefee sɛ bere a mifii Makedonia a na merefi Asɛmpa no ka no ase no, mo nko ara ne asafo a moboaa me. Mo nko ara ne asafo a mo ne me kyɛɛ mo ahonyade.
Ye know, moreover, even ye, Philippians, —that, in the beginning of the glad-message, when I went forth from Macedonia, not, so much as one assembly, with me had fellowship—in the matter of giving and receiving—save, ye alone, —
16 Mewɔ Tesalonika no, bere biara a biribi ho behia me no, mode brɛ me.
That, even in Thessalonica, both once and again, unto my need, ye sent: —
17 Ɛnyɛ sɛ ɔpɛ na na mepɛ sɛ minya akyɛde na mmom, nhyira a mubenya wɔ mu na na mepɛ sɛ mihu.
Not that I seek after the gift, but I seek after the fruit that is to abound unto your account.
18 Me nsa aka biribiara a mode abrɛ me ma aboro so. Afei a Epafrodito de akyɛde no nyinaa abrɛ me yi, me nsa aka biribiara a ɛho hia me. Eyinom te sɛ afɔre huamhuam a wɔbɔ ma Onyankopɔn, na ogye, na nʼani sɔ no.
But I have all things in full, and have more than enough, I am filled, having welcomed from Epaphroditus the things that came from you, —a fragrance of sweet smell, an acceptable sacrifice, well pleasing unto God.
19 Me Nyankopɔn fi ne nnepa a ɔwɔ wɔ Kristo Yesu mu bɛma mo nea ehia mo nyinaa.
And, my God, will fill up your every need, according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
Now, unto our God and Father, be the glory—unto the ages of ages. Amen! (aiōn g165)
21 Mikyia ahotefo no wɔ Kristo Yesu mu. Anuanom a wɔne me wɔ ha no nso kyia mo.
Salute ye every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren who are with me, salute you.
22 Ahotefo no nyinaa kyia mo; ne titiriw no, Ɔhempɔn Kaesare fifo.
All the saints salute you, but especially they who are of Caesar’s household.
23 Awurade Yesu Kristo adom nka mo nyinaa. Amen.
The favour of our Lord Jesus Christ, be with your spirit.
