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 of you, having a matter against another, go to law 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 know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
3 Monnim sɛ yɛbɛbu abɔfoɔ atɛn? Mpɛn ahe na yɛmmu asetena mu nneɛma atɛn?
Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to 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 of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church.
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 your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge 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 goeth to law 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.
Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather allow yourselves to be 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 that 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,
Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
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 revilers, nor extortioners, 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 such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are 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 are not expedient: all things are lawful for 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.
Food is for the stomach, and the stomach is for food: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for immorality, 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 hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own 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.
Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? By no means.
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.”
What? know ye not that he who is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, 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 immorality. Every sin that a man doeth is outside the body; but he that committeth immorality sinneth 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;
What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, which ye have from God, and ye are not your own?
20 ɔtɔɔ mo aboɔden. Enti momfa mo onipadua no nhyɛ Onyankopɔn animuonyam.
For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.
