2 Korintofoɔ 13
1 Nsra a ɛtɔ so mmiɛnsa a merebɛsra mo ni. Atwerɛsɛm no ka sɛ, “Adanseɛ a nnipa baanu anaa baasa bɛdi no na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔfa.”
This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.
2 Ɛberɛ a mebaa mo nkyɛn deɛ ɛtɔ so mmienu no, mebɔɔ mo kɔkɔ bi. Mereti mu bio seesei a menni mo nkyɛn yi. Sɛ mesane ba bio a, mo anaa nnipa afoforɔ bi a wɔayɛ bɔne no, meremfa wɔn ho nkyɛ wɔn,
I said before, and now say beforehand, as when present the second time, so also absent now, to those who have sinned before, and to all the others, that if I come again, I will not spare;
3 ɛfiri sɛ, mopɛ sɛ mohunu nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ bi sɛ Kristo nam me so kasa. Ɔnnyɛ mmerɛ sɛ ɔbɛyɛ mo mu adwuma, na mmom, ɔwɔ tumi wɔ mo mu.
since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, who towards you is not weak, but is mighty among you.
4 Ɛwom sɛ mmerɛyɛ mu na wɔbɔɔ no asɛnnua mu, nanso Onyankopɔn tumi mu na ɔte ase yi. Yɛyɛ mmerɛ deɛ, nanso yɛn ayɔnkofa a yɛne no wɔ enti, yɛne no bɛtena wɔ Onyankopɔn tumi mu.
For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth through the power of God; for we also are weak in him, but we shall live together with him by the power of God toward you.
5 Monsɔ mo ho nhwɛ na mommu mo ho atɛn nhwɛ sɛ mote ase wɔ gyidie mu anaa. Monim yie sɛ Kristo Yesu te mo mu anaa? Sɛ ɔnte mo mu a, na ɛkyerɛ sɛ moantumi sɔhwɛ no.
Try yourselves, whether ye are in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, that Christ Jesus is in you, unless ye are unapproved?
6 Menim yie sɛ mobɛhunu sɛ yɛanni nkoguo.
But I trust that ye shall know, that we are not unapproved.
7 Afei, yɛbɔ mpaeɛ srɛ Onyankopɔn sɛ morennyɛ biribiara a ɛnnyɛ. Yɛmmpɛ sɛ nnipa bɛhunu sɛ yɛwɔ tumi bi wɔ mo so. Sɛ mpo sɛ wɔhunu yɛn sɛ yɛsɛ nnipa a yɛadi nkoguo wɔ yɛn adwuma mu a, yɛpɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, yɛpɛ sɛ mobɛyɛ deɛ ɛyɛ de adi nkonim.
Now we pray to God that ye do no evil; not in order that we may appear approved, but that ye may do what is good, though we be as unapproved.
8 Yɛrentumi nsɔre ntia nokorɛ, na mmom, nokorɛ nko ara na ɛsɛ sɛ yɛgyina ma no.
For we have no power against the truth, but for the truth.
9 Sɛ yɛhunu sɛ yɛyɛ mmerɛ na moyɛ den a, na yɛn ani agye. Enti, yɛn nso yɛrebɔ mpaeɛ sɛ mobɛyɛ pɛ.
For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong; this also we pray for, even your perfection.
10 Ɛno enti na meretwerɛ saa krataa yi abrɛ mo sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, sɛ meba a, merennyina tumi a Awurade de ama me sɛ memfa mmoa mo na monnyini na mo mu antete no so, na me ne mo anni no anibereɛ so.
For this cause I write these things while absent, that when present I may not use sharpness, according to the power which the Lord gave me for edification, and not for destruction.
11 Enti, anuanom, makra mo! Mompere nhwehwɛ ade pa; montie mʼafotuo; mo ne mo ho mo ho nka na montena ase asomdwoeɛ mu. Na ɔdɔ ne asomdwoeɛ Onyankopɔn no ne mo bɛtena.
Finally, brethren, farewell! Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.
12 Momfa onuadɔ nkyeakyea mo ho mo ho.
Salute one another with a holy kiss.
13 Onyankopɔn nkurɔfoɔ nyinaa kyeakyea mo.
All the saints salute you.
14 Yɛn Awurade Yesu Kristo adom ne Onyankopɔn dɔ ne Honhom Kronkron no ayɔnkofa nka mo nyinaa.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the partaking of the Holy Spirit, be with you all.
