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 of complaint against another, try it 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 of judging the smallest controversies?
3 Monnim sɛ yɛbɛbu abɔfoɔ atɛn? Mpɛn ahe na yɛmmu asetena mu nneɛma atɛn?
Know ye not that we shall judge angels? what! and not worthy of judging the affairs of this life?
4 Na sɛ nsɛm a ɛte saa ba a, nnipa a wɔnni dibea wɔ asafo no mu na mobɛma wɔasiesie?
Therefore if ye have controversies about the things of this life, do ye set them to judge, who are despised by 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 it to your shame. What! is there not one wise man among you, that is able to judge between his bretheren?
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 one brother goeth to law with another, and this before infidels.
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 there is certainly a fault among you, that ye have law-suits with one another: why do ye not rather endure wrong? why do ye not rather suffer 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 even 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,
What! know ye not that the unjust shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor the effeminate, nor sodomites, nor thieves,
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 the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor rapacious persons, 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 for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be 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 are for the belly, and the belly for meats, but God will destroy 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 as God hath raised up the Lord, so will He raise up us 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.
Know ye not that your bodies are members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them members of an harlot?
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.”
God forbid! What! know ye not that he who is joined to an harlot is one body with her? for these two, saith he, shall be one flesh.
17 Nanso, onipa a wɔde no abata Awurade ho no ne no yɛ baako wɔ honhom mu.
And 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 from whoredom. Every other sin, that a man committeth, is without the body; but he, that committeth whoredom, 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 Ghost, which is in you, which ye have from God?
20 ɔtɔɔ mo aboɔden. Enti momfa mo onipadua no nhyɛ Onyankopɔn animuonyam.
and ye are not your own, for ye are bought with a price. Glorify God therefore in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
