2 Korintofoɔ 5

1 Yɛnim sɛ, sɛ yɛwu na yɛgya saa onipadua yi a, yɛbɛnya onipadua foforɔ a Onyankopɔn ankasa ayɛ a ɛbɛtena hɔ daa wɔ ɔsoro hɔ. (aiōnios g166)

For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. (aiōnios g166)

2 Seesei, yɛsi apinie pɛ sɛ wɔde ɔsoro animuonyam foforɔ no kata yɛn ho,

For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:

3 ɛfiri sɛ, sɛ wɔde kata yɛn ho a, yɛn ho renna hɔ bio.

If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.

4 Na sɛ yɛwɔ saa honam yi mu a, yɛsi apinie na adesoa bi da yɛn so; ɛnyɛ sɛ yɛmmpɛ sɛ yɛgya onipadua no, na mmom, yɛpɛ sɛ wɔde ɔsoro atenaeɛ foforɔ no kata yɛn ho sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, nkwa bɛmene deɛ ɛwu no.

For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.

5 Onyankopɔn na wasiesie yɛn ama saa nsakraeɛ yi. Na ɔde ne Honhom no maa yɛn sɛ deɛ ɔwɔ ma yɛn no nyinaa akyigyina.

Now he that has wrought us for the very same thing is God, who also has given unto us the earn of the Spirit. (pneuma)

6 Yei enti, daa yɛwɔ akokoɔduru. Yɛnim sɛ mmerɛ dodoɔ a yɛwɔ saa onipadua yi mu no, ɛma yɛne Awurade fie kwan ware.

Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:

7 Ɛfiri sɛ, yɛn nkwa gyina gyidie so na ɛnnyina deɛ yɛhunu so.

(For we walk by faith, not by sight: )

8 Yɛwɔ nkuranhyɛ enti, ɛyɛ yɛn pɛ sɛ yɛbɛtu afiri yɛn fie wɔ saa honam yi mu na yɛne Awurade akɔtena ne fie.

We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

9 Sɛ yɛwɔ yɛn fie ha anaa nohoa no, yɛpɛ sɛ yɛsɔ nʼani sene biribiara.

Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.

10 Ɛfiri sɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ yɛn nyinaa ba Kristo anim ma ɔbu yɛn atɛn. Sɛdeɛ obiara tenaa ase wɔ onipadua no abrabɔ mu no, sɛ ɛyɛ papa anaa bɔne na wɔbɛgyina so abu no atɛn.

For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he has done, whether it be good or bad.

11 Ɛfiri sɛ yɛnim sɛdeɛ yɛsuro Awurade enti, yɛka ne ho asɛmpa kyerɛ nnipa. Onyankopɔn nim yɛn yie na mewɔ anidasoɔ sɛ monim me nso wɔ mo akoma mu.

Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.

12 Yɛrensane nka yɛn ho asɛmpa nkyerɛ mo, na mmom, yɛrebɔ ho mmɔden sɛdeɛ mode yɛn bɛhoahoa mo ho na moatumi abua wɔn a wɔde onipa anim hoahoa wɔn ho na ɛnyɛ wɔn su no.

For we commend not ourselves again unto you, but give you occasion to glory on our behalf, that all of you may have somewhat to answer them which glory in appearance, and not in heart.

13 Sɛ yɛabobɔ adam a ɛyɛ yɛne Onyankopɔn ntam asɛm. Nanso sɛ yɛn adwene mu da hɔ a, ɛyɛ ma mo yiedie.

For whether we be beside ourselves, it is to God: or whether we be sober, it is for your cause.

14 Afei a yɛahunu sɛ onipa baako na ɔwu maa nnipa nyinaa wuu bi no enti, Kristo dɔ a ɔde dɔ yɛn no na ɛhyɛ yɛn. Yei kyerɛ sɛ nnipa nyinaa wɔ ne wuo no mu kyɛfa bi.

For the love (agape) of Christ constrains us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:

15 Ɔwu maa yɛn nyinaa, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a wɔn a wɔte ase no rentena ase mma wɔn ho bio na mmom, wɔbɛtena ase ama deɛ yɛn enti, ɔwuiɛ a wɔmaa ɔsɔre firii awufoɔ mu no.

And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.

16 Enti, ɛnsɛ sɛ yɛgyina onipa adwene so bu obiara atɛn bio. Na sɛ mpo ɛberɛ bi a atwam no na yɛgyina nnipa adwene so na yɛhunu Kristo a, afei deɛ, yɛrenyɛ saa bio.

Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.

17 Sɛ obi wɔ Kristo mu a, na ɔyɛ abɔdeɛ foforɔ, na nneɛma dada nyinaa atwam ama nneɛma foforɔ aba.

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

18 Onyankopɔn ayɛ ne nyinaa. Ɔsomaa Kristo sɛ ɔmmɛpata ɔne yɛn ntam na ɔde ɔne afoforɔ ntam mpata dwumadie no ahyɛ yɛn nsa.

And all things are of God, who has reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and has given to us the ministry of reconciliation;

19 Asɛm a wɔde abrɛ yɛn ne sɛ, Onyankopɔn nam Kristo so afa nnipa nyinaa adamfo. Onyankopɔn ankan wɔn bɔne antia wɔn na ɔde nʼasomdwoeɛ asɛnka ho dwumadie no ahyɛ yɛn nsa.

To know, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and has committed unto us the word (logos) of reconciliation.

20 Enti yɛyɛ asomafoɔ ma Kristo, na ɛte sɛdeɛ Onyankopɔn nam yɛn so kasa kyerɛ mo. Yesi Kristo anan mu srɛ mo sɛ, momma wɔmfa mo mmata Onyankopɔn ho.

Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did plead to you by us: we pray you in Christ's position, be all of you reconciled to God.

21 Na Kristo nni bɔne, nanso yɛn enti, Onyankopɔn maa ɔfaa yɛn bɔne sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, yɛnam ɔno Kristo so bɛyɛ teneneefoɔ wɔ Onyankopɔn anim.

For he has made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
