1 Korintofoɔ 6

1 Sɛ akasakasa ba onua ne onua ntam a, adɛn enti na mokɔ abosonsomfoɔ atemmufoɔ anim ma wɔbu mo atɛn ɛberɛ a anka ɛsɛ sɛ moma ateneneefoɔ siesie mo ntam?

Dare any one of you, having a matter against another, prosecute his suit before the unjust, and not before the saints?

2 Monnim sɛ ateneneefoɔ na wɔbɛbu ewiase atɛn? Na sɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ mobu ewiase atɛn a, morentumi mmu nsɛm nketenkete atɛn?

Do ye not then know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world is judged by you, are ye unworthy of [the] smallest judgments?

3 Monnim sɛ yɛbɛbu abɔfoɔ atɛn? Mpɛn ahe na yɛmmu asetena mu nneɛma atɛn?

Do ye not know that we shall judge angels? and not then matters of this life?

4 Na sɛ nsɛm a ɛte saa ba a, nnipa a wɔnni dibea wɔ asafo no mu na mobɛma wɔasiesie?

If then ye have judgments as to things of this life, set those [to judge] who are little esteemed in the assembly.

5 Ɛyɛ animguaseɛ ma no! Menim yie sɛ ɛnyɛ dɛn ara a, onyansafoɔ baako bi wɔ mo mu a ɔbɛtumi adi onua ne onua ntam asɛm.

I speak to you [to put you] to shame. Thus there is not a wise person among you, not even one, who shall be able to decide between his brethren!

6 Ɛyɛ sɛ wɔfa saa ɛkwan yi so anaa, sɛ onua de onua bɛkɔ asɛnniiɛ ma wɔn a wɔnni gyidie bɛdi abua wɔn asɛm?

But brother prosecutes his suit with brother, and that before unbelievers.

7 Sɛ motumi de mo ho mo ho kɔ asɛnniiɛ no kyerɛ sɛ moadi nkoguo dada. Anka ɛyɛ sɛ obi bɛsisi mo anaa sɛ ɔbɛyɛ mo bɔne mmom.

Already indeed then it is altogether a fault in you that ye have suits between yourselves. Why do ye not rather suffer wrong? why are ye not rather defrauded?

8 Nanso, mo ara motwa mo ho yɛ mo ho mo ho bɔne, sisi mo ho ne mo nuanom mpo.

But ye do wrong, and defraud, and this [your] brethren.

9 Mo ara monim sɛ ɔdebɔneyɛfoɔ no renkɔ Onyankopɔn Ahennie no mu. Monnnaadaa mo ho; mo a mo suban nyɛ, anaa mo a mosom ahoni, anaa adwamanfoɔ anaa mmarima a wɔne mmarima da,

Do ye not know that unrighteous [persons] shall not inherit [the] kingdom of God? Do not err: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor those who make women of themselves, nor who abuse themselves with men,

10 anaa adifudepɛfoɔ, anaa aniberefoɔ, anaa akɔwensafoɔ, anaa mo a mosɛe afoforɔ din, anaa akorɔmfoɔ no mu biara no rennya kyɛfa biara wɔ Onyankopɔn Ahennie no mu.

nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor abusive persons, nor [the] rapacious, shall inherit [the] kingdom of God.

11 Na mo mu bi te saa. Nanso, wɔahohoro mo bɔne. Wɔde mo ama Onyankopɔn. Ɛnam Honhom Kronkron no ne Awurade Yesu Kristo din mu enti, wɔasiesie mo ne Onyankopɔn ntam.

And these things were some of you; but ye have been washed, but ye have been sanctified, but ye have been justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

12 Obi se, “Mewɔ ho ɛkwan sɛ meyɛ deɛ mepɛ.” Ɛwom saa; nanso ɛnyɛ biribiara na ɛyɛ ma wo. Mɛtumi aka sɛ, “Mewɔ ho ɛkwan sɛ meyɛ biribiara.” Nanso meremma biribiara ho ɛkwan ma ɛmfa me akoa.

All things are lawful to me, but all things do not profit; all things are lawful to me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.

13 Obi foforɔ nso bɛka sɛ, “Aduane wɔ hɔ ma yafunu na yafunu nso wɔ hɔ ma aduane.” Ɛyɛ nokorɛ; nanso Onyankopɔn bɛma ne nyinaa aba awieeɛ. Ɛnsɛ sɛ onipa de ne onipadua ma adwamammɔ, na mmom, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde som Awurade, ɛfiri sɛ onipadua no yɛ Onyankopɔn dea.

Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats; but God will bring to nothing both it and them: but the body [is] not for fornication, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.

14 Onyankopɔn maa Awurade sɔre firii awufoɔ mu na ɔno nso nam ne tumi so bɛma yɛn nso asɔre afiri awufoɔ mu.

And God has both raised up the Lord, and will raise us up from among [the dead] by his power.

15 Monnim sɛ mo onipadua no yɛ Kristo onipadua no fafa bi anaa? Memfa Kristo onipadua fa bi mmɔ obi a ɔbɔ adwaman onipadua ho anaa? Dabi.

Do ye not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then, taking the members of the Christ, make [them] members of a harlot? Far be the thought.

16 Anaa ebia na monnim sɛ onipa a ɔde ne ho bɔ adwamanfoɔ ho nso yɛ odwamanfoɔ? Atwerɛsɛm no da no adi sɛ, “Wɔn baanu no nyinaa yɛ onipadua korɔ.”

Do ye not know that he [that is] joined to the harlot is one body? for the two, he says, shall be one flesh.

17 Nanso, onipa a wɔde no abata Awurade ho no ne no yɛ baako wɔ honhom mu.

But he that [is] joined to the Lord is one Spirit.

18 Mommmɔ adwaman. Bɔne biara a onipa bɛyɛ no nka ne onipadua no, nanso onipa a ɔbɔ adwaman no sɛe ɔno ankasa ne onipadua.

Flee fornication. Every sin which a man may practise is without the body, but he that commits fornication sins against his own body.

19 Monnim sɛ mo onipadua no yɛ Honhom Kronkron a ɔte mo mu, a Onyankopɔn na ɔde maa mo no asɔredan? Na monne mo ho;

Do ye not know that your body is [the] temple of the Holy Spirit which [is] in you, which ye have of God; and ye are not your own?

20 ɔtɔɔ mo aboɔden. Enti momfa mo onipadua no nhyɛ Onyankopɔn animuonyam.

for ye have been bought with a price: glorify now then God in your body.
