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 have known that if the tent of our earthly house may be thrown down, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands—perpetual—in the heavens, (aiōnios g166)
2 Seesei, yɛsi apinie pɛ sɛ wɔde ɔsoro animuonyam foforɔ no kata yɛn ho,
for also in this we groan, earnestly desiring to clothe ourselves with our dwelling that is from Heaven,
3 ɛfiri sɛ, sɛ wɔde kata yɛn ho a, yɛn ho renna hɔ bio.
if so be that, having clothed ourselves, we will 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 also who are in the tent groan, being burdened, seeing we do not wish to unclothe ourselves, but to clothe ourselves, that the mortal may 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.
And He who worked us to this very thing [is] God, who also gave to us the deposit of the Spirit;
6 Yei enti, daa yɛwɔ akokoɔduru. Yɛnim sɛ mmerɛ dodoɔ a yɛwɔ saa onipadua yi mu no, ɛma yɛne Awurade fie kwan ware.
having courage, then, at all times, and knowing that being at home in the body, we are away from home from the LORD—
7 Ɛfiri sɛ, yɛn nkwa gyina gyidie so na ɛnnyina deɛ yɛhunu so.
for we walk through faith, not through 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 have courage, and are well pleased, rather, to be away from the home of the body, and to be at home with the LORD.
9 Sɛ yɛwɔ yɛn fie ha anaa nohoa no, yɛpɛ sɛ yɛsɔ nʼani sene biribiara.
We are also ambitious for this reason, whether at home or away from home, to be well pleasing to 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 it is necessary for all of us to have appeared before the judgment seat of the Christ, that each one may receive the things [done] through the body, in reference to the things that he did, whether good or evil;
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.
having known, therefore, the fear of the LORD, we persuade men, and we are revealed to God, and I also hope to have been revealed 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 do not again recommend ourselves to you, but we are giving occasion to you of glorifying in our behalf, that you may have [something] in reference to those glorifying in face 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 were beside ourselves, [it was] to God; whether we be of sound mind, [it is] to you,
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 of the Christ constrains us, having judged thus: that if one died for all, then the whole died,
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 He died for all, that those living may no longer live to themselves, but to Him who died for them, and was raised 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.
So that we, from now on, have known no one according to the flesh, and even if we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him [thus] no longer;
17 Sɛ obi wɔ Kristo mu a, na ɔyɛ abɔdeɛ foforɔ, na nneɛma dada nyinaa atwam ama nneɛma foforɔ aba.
so that if anyone [is] in Christ—[he is] a new creature; the old things passed away, behold, all things have 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 reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and gave to us the ministry of the 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.
how that God was in Christ—reconciling the world to Himself, not reckoning to them their trespasses; and having put in us the word of the 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.
in behalf of Christ, then, we are ambassadors, as if God were calling through us, we implore, in behalf of Christ, “Be 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.
He made Him having not known sin [to be] sin in our behalf, that we may become the righteousness of God in Him.
