< 1 Korintofoɔ 3 >

1 Nokorɛm, anuanom, mantumi ankasa ankyerɛ mo sɛ nnipa a wɔwɔ Honhom no. Na ɛsɛ sɛ mekasa kyerɛ mo sɛ ewiasefoɔ a wɔte sɛ mmɔfra a wɔwɔ Kristo mu gyidie.
And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual, but as to carnal, [even] as to babes in Christ.
2 Memaa mo nufosuo. Mamma mo aduane a ɛyɛ den, ɛfiri sɛ, na ɛnyɛ mma mo. Na seesei ara mpo ɛnyɛ mma mo,
I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able [to bear it], neither yet now are ye able.
3 ɛfiri sɛ, moda so te hɔ sɛ ewiasefoɔ. Sɛ anibereɛ wɔ mo mu na motwa mo ho ne mo ho mo ho nya akasakasa a, ɛnna no adi sɛ moyɛ ewiasefoɔ a mote hɔ ma ewiase?
For ye are yet carnal: for whereas [there is] among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?
4 Sɛ obi ka sɛ, “Me deɛ, medi Paulo akyi” na ɔfoforɔ nso ka sɛ, “Me nso mewɔ Apolo afa” a, ɛnkyerɛ sɛ moyɛ ewiasefoɔ anaa?
For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I [am] of Apollos; are ye not carnal?
5 Mebisa sɛ, Apolo yɛ hwan? Na Paulo nso yɛ hwan? Yɛyɛ Onyankopɔn asomfoɔ kwa a ɛnam yɛn so na monya gyidie. Adwuma a Onyankopɔn de ama yɛn mu biara sɛ yɛnyɛ no na yɛyɛ.
Who then is Paul, and who [is] Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?
6 Meduaa aba no na Apolo guguu so nsuo nanso Onyankopɔn na ɔmaa afifideɛ no nyiniiɛ.
I have planted, Apollos watered: but God hath given the increase.
7 Obi a ɔduaeɛ ne obi a ɔguguu so nsuo no ho nhia. Onyankopɔn na ne ho hia, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔno na ɔmaa afifideɛ no nyiniiɛ.
So then, neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth: but God that giveth the increase.
8 Nsonsonoeɛ biara nni onipa a ɔdua ne deɛ ɔgugu so nsuo ntam. Onyankopɔn bɛhwɛ dwuma a wɔn mu biara diiɛ so na wama wɔn so adeɛ.
Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward, according to his own labor.
9 Yɛn deɛ yɛyɛ aboafoɔ a yɛne Onyankopɔn reyɛ adwuma na mo nso moyɛ Onyankopɔn afuo. Bio, moyɛ Onyankopɔn dan.
For we are laborers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, [ye are] God's building.
10 Menam adom a Onyankopɔn de maa me no so meyɛɛ ɔdanseni pa adwuma. Metoo fapem ɛnna onipa foforɔ nso resi ato so. Nanso, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔn mu biara fa ɛkwan pa so si.
According to the grace of God which is given to me, as a wise master-builder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth upon it. But let every man take heed how he buildeth upon it.
11 Ɛfiri sɛ, Onyankopɔn ayɛ Yesu Kristo nko ɛdan no fapem enti wɔrentumi nto fapem foforɔ biara bio.
For other foundation can no man lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
12 Ebinom de sikakɔkɔɔ, anaa dwetɛ anaa aboɔden aboɔ na ɛbɛsi wɔn dan wɔ fapem no so; afoforɔ nso de nnua anaa ɛserɛ anaa wira.
Now if any man buildeth upon this foundation, gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
13 Obiara dwuma a ɔdiiɛ no, ɛda no bɛda no adi; ɛda no ogya no bɛda obiara adwuma adi. Ogya no bɛsɔ ahwɛ, ahunu dwuma ko no yɛ a ɛyɛ.
Every man's work will be made manifest: for the day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will try every man's work, of what sort it is.
14 Sɛ deɛ onipa ko no de sii fapem no so no tumi gyina ogya no ano a, ɛbɛnya akatua.
If any man's work abideth which he hath built upon it, he shall receive a reward.
15 Na sɛ obi adwuma hye wɔ ogya no ano a, akatua no bɛbɔ no, nanso ɔno deɛ, ɔbɛnya nkwa sɛ obi a wadwane afiri gyaframa mu.
If any man's work shall be burned, he will suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
16 Nokorɛm, monim sɛ moyɛ Onyankopɔn asɔredan na Onyankopɔn Honhom no te mo mu!
Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and [that] the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
17 Enti, obiara a ɔbɛsɛe Onyankopɔn asɔredan no, Onyankopɔn bɛsɛe no. Ɛfiri sɛ, Onyankopɔn asɔredan yɛ kronkron, na mo na moyɛ nʼasɔredan no.
If any man defileth the temple of God, him will God destroy: for the temple of God is holy, which [temple] ye are.
18 Ɛnsɛ sɛ obiara daadaa ne ho. Sɛ obi a ɔka mo ho fa ne ho sɛ ɔyɛ ewiase yi mu onyansafoɔ a, ɛwɔ sɛ ɔyɛ ɔkwasea ansa na wabɛyɛ onyansafoɔ. (aiōn g165)
Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. (aiōn g165)
19 Ɛfiri sɛ, deɛ ewiase bu no nyansa no yɛ asɛm a aba nni mu wɔ Onyankopɔn ani so. Atwerɛsɛm no ka sɛ, “Ɔkyere anyansafoɔ wɔ wɔn aniteɛ mu.”
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
20 Bio, Atwerɛsɛm no ka sɛ, “Awurade nim onipa nsusuiɛ. Ɔnim sɛ ɛnkɔsi hwee.”
And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.
21 Enti, ɛnsɛ sɛ obiara de deɛ onipa tumi yɛ hoahoa ne ho na biribiara yɛ mo dea.
Therefore let no man glory in men: for all things are yours:
22 Paulo, Apolo ne Petro, saa ewiase yi, nkwa ne owuo, ɛnnɛ ne daakye nyinaa yɛ mo dea,
Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours;
23 na moyɛ Kristo dea na Kristo nso yɛ Onyankopɔn dea.
And ye are Christ's; and Christ [is] God's.
