7 Ɛnam Epafra a ɔyɛ yɛn nua ɔsomfoɔ a ɔde gyidie yɛ Kristo adwuma ma yɛn no so na mohunuu yei.
Lalifundiswa ngu-Ephafrasi oyinceku ethandekayo, ongumfundisi othembekileyo kaKhristu emele thina,
8 Ɔkaa ɔdɔ a Honhom no de ama mo no kyerɛɛ yɛn.

11 Yɛrebɔ mpaeɛ nso sɛ ne tumi ne nʼahoɔden bɛhyɛ mo ma sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a ɛkwan biara so, mode Awurade mu ahosɛpɛ ne boasetɔ bɛgyina biribiara ano.

12 Momfa ahosɛpɛ nna Agya no a ɛnam ne so enti, moanya deɛ Onyankopɔn akora so ama nʼahotefoɔ a wɔwɔ ne hann no mu no bi no ase.
limbonge ngentokozo uYise owalenza lafanela ukuhlanganyela elifeni labangcwele bakhe embusweni wokukhanya.
13 Ɔgyee yɛn firii esum tumi ase de yɛn baa ne Dɔ Ba no Ahennie mu dwoodwoo.
Ngoba wasihlenga embusweni wobumnyama wasiletha embusweni weNdodana yakhe ayithandayo,
14 Ne mu na yɛnya ɔgyeɛ. Ne mu nso na yɛnya bɔnefakyɛ.
okukuyo ukuhlengwa kwethu lokuthethelelwa kwezono.
15 Kristo yɛ Onyankopɔn a wɔnhunu no no sɛso. Ɔno ne abɔdeɛ nyinaa farebae.
Indodana ingumfanekiso kaNkulunkulu ongabonakaliyo, izibulo kukho konke okwadalwayo.
16 Ɛfiri sɛ, ɛnam ne so na Onyankopɔn bɔɔ biribiara a ɛwɔ ɔsoro ne asase so, deɛ wɔhunu ne deɛ wɔnhunu, honhom mu atumfoɔ, awuranom ne ahemfo. Onyankopɔn nam ne so na ɔbɔɔ ewiase nyinaa na ɔbɔ maa no nso.
Ngoba izinto zonke zadalwa ngayo: izinto ezisezulwini lezisemhlabeni, ezibonakalayo lezingabonakaliyo loba kuyizihlalo zobukhosi kumbe amandla loba ababusi kumbe abaphathi; izinto zonke zadalwa ngayo zidalelwa yona.
17 Na ɔwɔ hɔ ansa na wɔrebɔ biribiara, na ne mu na biribiara nya nʼafa pɛpɛɛpɛ.
Yona iphambi kwezinto zonke njalo kuyo izinto zonke zibambene.
18 Asafo no yɛ ne onipadua; na ɔno na ɔyɛ asafo no ti. Ɔno na onipadua no nkwa firi no. Ɔno ne Abakan a wɔnyanee no firii awufoɔ mu sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a ɔno nko ara bɛdi adeɛ nyinaa mu ɛkan.
Iyinhloko yomzimba okulibandla; iyikuqala lezibulo elivela kwabafileyo ukuze yona ibe ngeyokuqala ezintweni zonke.
19 Ɛfiri Onyankopɔn no ankasa pɛ mu na Ɔba no wɔ Onyankopɔn su nyinaa wɔ ne mu.
Ngoba uNkulunkulu wathokoza ukuba ukuphelela kwakhe kube kuyo
20 Ɛnam ne Ba no so na Onyankopɔn firi ne pɛ mu de ewiase nyinaa sane bɛhyɛɛ ɔno ankasa ase. Onyankopɔn nam ne Ba no wu a ɔwuu asɛnnua so no de asomdwoeɛ baeɛ, enti ɔde nneɛma a ɛwɔ asase so ne ɔsoro nyinaa ahyɛ nʼase.
lokuthi ngayo abuyisane lezinto zonke, loba kuyizinto ezisemhlabeni kumbe izinto ezisezulwini ngokwenza ukuthula ngegazi layo elachithwa esiphambanweni.
21 Ɛberɛ bi a atwam no, ɛsiane sɛ na moyɛ bɔne na modwene bɔne ho enti, na mo ne Onyankopɔn ntam kwan ware a na moyɛ nʼatamfoɔ nso.
Lina lake laba ngabehlukane loNkulunkulu, liyizitha ezingqondweni zenu ngenxa yokuziphatha kwenu okubi.
22 Nanso, ɛnam ne Ba no wuo so enti Onyankopɔn afa mo nnamfo sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a mobɛyɛ kronkron a bɔne biara nni mo ho wɔ nʼanim.
Kodwa khathesi uselibuyisile ngomzimba kaKhristu uqobo lwawo ngokufa ukuze alethule lingcwele ebusweni bakhe, lingelasici njalo limsulwa.
23 Ɛsɛ sɛ mokɔ so ma mo gyidie mu yɛ den. Mommma ho kwan mma mo anidasoɔ a monyaa no da a ɛdi ɛkan a motee Asɛmpa no nhinhim. Saa Asɛmpa a wɔka kyerɛ nnipa nyinaa yi enti na me, Paulo, mebɛyɛɛ ɔsomfoɔ no.
Nxa liqhubeka ngokukholwa kwenu ligxile njalo liqinile, lingasuki ethembeni eliliphiwa ngevangeli. Leli yilo ivangeli elalizwayo eselitshunyayelwe kuzozonke izidalwa ngaphansi kwezulu, mina Phawuli esengibe yinceku yalo.
24 Ɛyɛ me anigye sɛ merebrɛ mo ho. Menam me honam mu amaneɛ a merehunu no so retoa Kristo amanehunu a ɔhunuu wɔ ne honam mu maa nʼasafo no so.
Khathesi ngiyathokoza ngokulihluphekela kwami njalo ngiyagcwalisa emzimbeni okulokhu kusasilela mayelana lezinhlupheko zikaKhristu ngenxa yomzimba wakhe olibandla.
25 Onyankopɔn a mo yiedie enti, ɔde saa dwuma yi hyɛɛ me nsa no ayɛ me asafo no ɔsomfoɔ. Dwumadie no yɛ nʼasɛm no ka,
Sengaba yinceku yalo ngomsebenzi uNkulunkulu anginika wona ukuba ngililethele ilizwi likaNkulunkulu liphelele,
26 a ɛyɛ ahintasɛm a mfeɛ bebree a atwam no, ɔde hintaa adasamma, nanso afei deɛ, wada no adi akyerɛ nʼahotefoɔ. (aiōn g165)
ebeliyimfihlakalo ebifihlakele okweminyakanyaka kanye lezizukulwane ezedluleyo kodwa khathesi isibekwe obala kwabangcwele beNkosi. (aiōn g165)
27 Onyankopɔn nhyehyɛeɛ ne sɛ, ɔbɛda nʼahintasɛm a nnepa ne animuonyam wɔ mu no adi akyerɛ Amanamanmufoɔ nso. Ahintasɛm no ne sɛ: Kristo te mo mu, a nʼasekyerɛ ne sɛ, yɛwɔ anidasoɔ sɛ yɛn nsa bɛka Onyankopɔn animuonyam no bi.
UNkulunkulu wathanda ukubazisa phakathi kwabeZizweni inotho emangalisayo yemfihlakalo le, enguKhristu phakathi kwenu, ithemba lenkazimulo.
28 Ɛno enti, yɛka Kristo ho asɛm kyerɛ nnipa nyinaa. Yɛnam adwene pa so bɔ obiara kɔkɔ, kyerɛkyerɛ no sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a obiara a yɛde no bɛhyɛ Onyankopɔn nsa no bɛyɛ pɛ wɔ Kristo mu.
Sitshumayela yena, seluleke njalo sifundise abantu bonke ngenhlakanipho yonke ukuze bonke sibalethe kuKhristu bephelele.
29 Ɛno enti na menam Kristo tumi sononko a ɔde ma me no so yɛ adwumaden.
Ngisebenza nzima ukuba lokhu kufezeke, ngilwisa ngawo wonke amandla uKhristu asebenza ngawo phakathi kwami.
