2 Korintofoɔ 1

1 Krataa yi firi Paulo a Onyankopɔn ayi no sɛ Kristo Yesu ɔsomafoɔ no ne Timoteo a ɔyɛ yɛn nuanom no mu baako nkyɛn, Mede saa krataa yi rekɔma Onyankopɔn asafo a ɛwɔ Korinto ne ahotefoɔ a wɔwɔ Akaiaman mu no nyinaa:

Paul, apostle of Jesus Christ by God's will, and the brother Timotheus, to the assembly of God which is in Corinth, with all the saints who are in the whole of Achaia.

2 Adom ne asomdwoeɛ a ɛfiri yɛn Agya Onyankopɔn ne Awurade Yesu Kristo nka mo.

Grace to you, and peace from God our Father, and [the] Lord Jesus Christ.

3 Momma yɛnna Onyankopɔn a ɔyɛ yɛn Awurade Yesu Kristo Agya no a ɔyɛ mmɔborɔhunu Agya na ɔyɛ Onyankopɔn a awerɛkyekyerɛ nyinaa firi no no ase.

Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassions, and God of all encouragement;

4 Ɔkyekyere yɛn werɛ wɔ yɛn amaneɛ nyinaa mu na yɛnam awerɛkyekyerɛ a yɛn ankasa anya afiri Onyankopɔn nkyɛn no so atumi akyekyere afoforɔ a wɔwɔ amaneɛ ahodoɔ mu no werɛ.

who encourages us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to encourage those who are in any tribulation whatever, through the encouragement with which we ourselves are encouraged of God.

5 Sɛdeɛ yɛahunu amane wɔ Kristo mu no, saa ara nso na yɛnya Kristo awerɛkyekyerɛ a ɛdɔɔso no.

Because, even as the sufferings of the Christ abound towards us, so through the Christ does our encouragement also abound.

6 Mo awerɛkyekyerɛ ne mo nkwagyeɛ enti yɛhunu amane. Ɛfiri sɛ, sɛ Kristo kyekye yɛn werɛ a, yɛn nso yɛnam so bɛtumi akyekye mo werɛ. Ɛno bɛma mo anya ntoboaseɛ ahunu amane sɛ yɛn nso.

But whether we are in tribulation, [it is] for your encouragement and salvation, wrought in the endurance of the same sufferings which we also suffer,

7 Enti, gyidie a yɛwɔ wɔ mo mu no nhinhim. Yɛnim sɛ, sɛdeɛ mo ne yɛn hunu amane no, saa ara nso na awerɛkyekyerɛ a yɛnya no, monya bi.

(and our hope for you [is] sure; ) or whether we are encouraged, [it is] for your encouragement and salvation: knowing that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so also of the encouragement.

8 Anuanom, yɛpɛ sɛ yɛtwe mo adwene ba ɔhaw a ɛtoo yɛn wɔ Asia mantam mu no so. Amane a yɛfaa mu no so, na na emu yɛ duru enti yɛn asetena mu anidasoɔ nyinaa yeraeɛ.

For we do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, as to our tribulation which happened [to us] in Asia, that we were excessively pressed beyond [our] power, so as to despair even of living.

9 Nokorɛm yɛgye too mu sɛ yɛrebɛwu. Saa asɛm yi siiɛ, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a yɛremfa yɛn ho nto yɛn ankasa so, na mmom, yɛde yɛn ho bɛto Onyankopɔn a ɔma awufoɔ sɔre no so.

But we ourselves had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not have our trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead;

10 Wayi yɛn afiri saa owuo amanehunu yi mu na ɔbɛkɔ so agye yɛn. Ɔno na yɛde yɛn ani ato no so sɛ, sɛ mokɔ so bɔ mpaeɛ ma yɛn a,

who has delivered us from so great a death, and does deliver; in whom we confide that he will also yet deliver;

11 ɔbɛgye yɛn bio. Yei kyerɛ sɛ, ɔbɛbua mpaeɛ dodoɔ biara a mobɔ ma yɛn no, na Onyankopɔn bɛhyira yɛn, na dodoɔ no ara ama wɔn nne so de ada no ase ama yɛn.

ye also labouring together by supplication for us that the gift towards us, through means of many persons, may be the subject of the thanksgiving of many for us.

12 Yɛhoahoa yɛn ho sɛ yɛn ahonim mmu yɛn fɔ, yɛatena ase nokorɛdie mu, ne titire ne ɛberɛ a yɛwɔ mo nkyɛn no. Ɛnyɛ ewiase nyansa na ɛkyerɛ yɛn kwan. Mmom, yɛn akwankyerɛ firi Onyankopɔn adom no mu.

For our boasting is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and sincerity before God, (not in fleshly wisdom but in God's grace, ) we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly towards you.

13 Nsɛm a mobɛtumi akenkan, ate aseɛ nko na yɛtwerɛ de brɛ mo. Mewɔ anidasoɔ sɛ, mobɛte biribiara a

For we do not write other things to you but what ye well know and recognise; and I hope that ye will recognise to the end,

14 monnte aseɛ yie no ase daakye sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, da a Awurade Yesu bɛba no, mode yɛn bɛhoahoa mo ho na yɛn nso yɛde mo ahoahoa yɛn ho.

even as also ye have recognised us in part, that we are your boast, even as ye [are] ours in the day of the Lord Jesus.

15 Na menim sɛ saa asɛm yi bɛba mu. Ɛno enti na mehyehyɛɛ sɛ mɛba abɛsra mo na moanya nhyira mprenu.

And with this confidence I purposed to come to you previously, that ye might have a second favour;

16 Meyɛɛ mʼadwene sɛ, sɛ merekɔ Makedonia a, mɛba mo nkyɛn, na meresane nso a, mafa mo nkyɛn ansa na makɔ Yudea.

and to pass through to Macedonia by you, and again from Macedonia to come to you, and to be set forward by you to Judaea.

17 Modwene sɛ mantumi ansi mʼadwene pi wɔ deɛ ɛsɛ sɛ meyɛ anaa? Anaasɛ mete sɛ obi a ɔka sɛ “Aane” anaa “Dabi” sɛdeɛ ɛbɛsɔ afoforɔ ani?

Having therefore this purpose, did I then use lightness? Or what I purpose, do I purpose according to flesh, that there should be with me yea yea, and nay nay?

18 Onyankopɔn yɛ ɔnokwafoɔ. Enti sɛ meka sɛ yɛn mmuaeɛ yɛ “Aane” ɛberɛ biara a, ɛyɛ “Aane”, ɛnnyɛ “Dabi” da a.

Now God [is] faithful, that our word to you is not yea and nay.

19 Ɛfiri sɛ, Yesu Kristo, Onyankopɔn Ba no a me Paulo, Silas ne Timoteo kaa ne ho asɛm kyerɛɛ mo no nsesa. Ɔnnka “Aane” ne “Dabi” da. Ɛberɛ biara ɔdi nʼasɛm so.

For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, he who has been preached by us among you (by me and Silvanus and Timotheus), did not become yea and nay, but yea is in him.

20 Ɔno mu na Onyankopɔn bɔhyɛ nyinaa awie pɛyɛ. Yei enti, yɛnam Yesu Kristo so ka “Amen” de hyɛ Onyankopɔn animuonyam.

For whatever promises of God [there are], in him is the yea, and in him the amen, for glory to God by us.

21 Afei, Onyankopɔn no ankasa na ɔma yɛne mo tumi gyina pintinn wɔ Kristo mu. Ɔno na ɔsraa yɛn

Now he that establishes us with you in Christ, and has anointed us, [is] God,

22 faa yɛn sɛ ne deɛ, ɛnna ɔde ne Honhom Kronkron no hyɛɛ yɛn akoma mu de sii deɛ ɔwɔ ma yɛn nyinaa so dua.

who also has sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.

23 Mefrɛ Onyankopɔn sɛ mʼadanseɛ. Ɔnim mʼakoma mu. Sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a mobɛnya kwan agye mo ahome enti na mankɔ Korinto no.

But I call God to witness upon my soul that to spare you I have not yet come to Corinth.

24 Ɛnyɛ yɛn adwene ne sɛ yɛbɛhyɛ mo ama mo agye biribi adi, na mmom, mo ahotɔ enti na yɛne mo yɛ adwuma. Ɛfiri sɛ, ɛnam mo ankasa gyidie so na mobɛgyina pintinn.

Not that we rule over your faith, but are fellow-workmen of your joy: for by faith ye stand.
