2 Korintofoɔ 4
1 Onyankopɔn nam nʼadom so de saa asɛm yi abrɛ yɛn na ɛno enti, ɛmma yɛn akoma ntu.
Therefore having this ministry, as we have obtained mercy, we faint not;
2 Yɛagyae kokoamsɛm ne aniwudeyɛ nyinaa. Yɛnnaadaa na yɛntwa Onyankopɔn asɛm no ho nkontompo. Yɛnnaadaa obi mma ɔnnye deɛ Atwerɛsɛm no nkaeɛ nni. Yɛgyae saa aniwudeɛ no nyinaa. Yɛgyina Onyankopɔn anim kasa enti yɛka nokorɛ ma wɔn a wɔnim yɛn no nyinaa gye di.
but we lay aside the hidden things of disgrace, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but in the manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every conscience of men, before God.
3 Sɛ Asɛmpa a yɛka no yɛ ahintasɛm a, ɛyɛ ahintasɛm ma wɔn a wɔreyera.
But if indeed our gospel is hidden, it is hidden with those who are lost:
4 Wɔnnye nni, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔbonsam asɛe wɔn adwene. Ɔtwe wɔn firi hann a ɛto gu wɔn so no ho; hann a ɛfiri Asɛmpa no mu a ɛfa Kristo a ɔte sɛ Onyankopɔn animuonyam no ho no. (aiōn g165)
in whom the god of this age has blinded the minds of those who believe not, in order that the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, may not shine on them. (aiōn g165)
5 Ɛnyɛ yɛn ankasa ho na yɛka asɛm no fa. Yɛka Yesu Kristo ho asɛm sɛ ɔno ne Awurade no na yɛn nso Yesu enti, yɛyɛ mo asomfoɔ.
For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.
6 Onyankopɔn a ɔkaa sɛ, “Hann mfiri esum mu nhyerɛn no” ɔno na wahyerɛn wɔ yɛn akoma mu, ama yɛanya Onyankopɔn animuonyam ho nimdeɛ wɔ Yesu Kristo mu.
Because God is the one, having said; Out of the darkness the light shall shine, which shone in our hearts, to the enlightenment of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.
7 Yɛte sɛ nkukuo a wɔde agyapadeɛ asie mu. Tumi ankasa no firi Onyankopɔn na ɛmfiri yɛn.
But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, in order that the excellency of the power, may be of God, and not of us;
8 Yɛtaa hunu amane, nanso wɔnnsɛee yɛn. Mpo sɛ yɛnnim deɛ ɛsɛ sɛ yɛyɛ a yɛmpa aba.
in everything being troubled, but not in difficulties incorrigible; being at a loss, but not utterly at a loss;
9 Amaneɛ mu, Onyankopɔn ka yɛn ho, na sɛ wɔbɔ yɛn hwe fam a yɛsɔre bio.
being persecuted, but not forsaken; being cast down, but not destroyed;
10 Mmerɛ nyinaa yɛn onipadua no soa Yesu wu a ɔwuiɛ no sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a nʼabrabɔ bɛda adi wɔ yɛn mu.
always bearing about the dying of Jesus in our body, in order that the life of Jesus may also be made manifest in our bodies.
11 Yɛn asetena mu nyinaa, Yesu enti, yɛte hɔ ma owuo sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, nʼabrabɔ bɛda adi wɔ yɛn onipadua a ɛwu no mu.
For we while living are always being delivered up to death for the sake of Jesus, in order that the life of Jesus may be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
12 Yei kyerɛ sɛ owuo di ne dwuma wɔ yɛn mu ɛnna nkwa nso di ne dwuma wɔ mo mu.
So that death works in us, but life in you.
13 Atwerɛsɛm no ka sɛ, “Mekasaeɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, na megye di.” Saa honhom mu gyidie no ara so na ɛma yɛn nso yɛkasa, ɛfiri sɛ, yɛgye di.
But having the same spirit of faith, according to that which has been written, I believed, therefore I also spoke; and we believe, therefore we also speak;
14 Yɛnim sɛ Onyankopɔn a ɔmaa Awurade Yesu sɔre firii awufoɔ mu no bɛma yɛne Yesu asɔre na ɔde yɛn abɛka mo ho wɔ nʼanim.
knowing that the one having raised up the Lord Jesus will also raise us along with Jesus, and present us with you.
15 Mo enti na yeinom bɛba mu; na sɛdeɛ Onyankopɔn adom no reduru nnipa bebree nkyɛn no, saa ara nso na wɔbɛbɔ mpaeɛ ada Onyankopɔn ase de ahyɛ no animuonyam.
For all things are for your sakes, in order that the grace, overflowing with thanksgiving through many, may abound unto the glory of God.
16 Esiane yei enti, yɛn bo ntu. Ɛwom sɛ yɛn onipadua no reporɔ nkakrankakra deɛ, nanso yɛn honhom no deɛ, ɛsesa yɛ foforɔ da biara da.
Therefore we faint not; but if indeed our external man perishes, yet our internal man is renewed day by day.
17 Na saa ɔhaw kakra a yɛfa mu no de animuonyam a ɛnni awieeɛ a ɛboro saa ɔhaw no so no bɛbrɛ yɛn. (aiōnios g166)
For the light burden of our affliction, which is evanescent, is working out for us an eternal weight of glory according to hyperbole unto hyperbole; (aiōnios g166)
18 Yɛmfa yɛn adwene nkɔ nneɛma a yɛhunu so, na mmom, nneɛma a yɛnhunu so na yɛde yɛn adwene kɔ. Deɛ wɔtumi hunu no ntena hɔ nkyɛ, nanso deɛ yɛntumi nhunu no tena hɔ daa. (aiōnios g166)
we not looking at the things which are visible, but the things which are invisible; for the visible things are temporary, but the invisible things are eternal. (aiōnios g166)
