Filipifoɔ 4
1 Enti, anuanom, medɔ mo na mʼani agyina mo. Moama me ho asane me enti me nso mede mo hoahoa me ho. Adɔfonom, saa na ɛsɛ sɛ mogyina pintinn wɔ Awurade mu.
So that, my brethren, beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, thus stand fast in [the] Lord, beloved.
2 Euodia ne Sintike, mesrɛ mo, montena ase sɛ anuanom wɔ Awurade mu.
I exhort Euodia, and exhort Syntyche, to be of the same mind in [the] Lord;
3 Na wo nso a woka me ho a megye wo di no, mepɛ sɛ woboa saa mmaa yi, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔde wɔn ahoɔden nyinaa aboa me ama Asɛmpa no mu atrɛ a Klemens ne mʼahokafoɔ bi a wɔn din hyɛ Onyankopɔn nkwa nwoma no mu no nso ka ho.
yea, I ask thee also, true yokefellow, assist them, who have contended along with me in the glad tidings, with Clement also, and my other fellow-labourers, whose names [are] in [the] book of life.
4 Meka ti mu bio sɛ daa monnya ahosɛpɛ wɔ Awurade mu; mo ho nsɛpɛ mo.
Rejoice in [the] Lord always: again I will say, Rejoice.
5 Mommrɛ mo ho ase mma nnipa nyinaa. Ɛrenkyɛre, Awurade bɛba.
Let your gentleness be known of all men. The Lord [is] near.
6 Mommma biribiara nha mo. Daa, mo nkotosrɛ ne aseda mpaeɛbɔ nyinaa mu no, momma mo adesrɛ nnuru Onyankopɔn anim.
Be careful about nothing; but in everything, by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;
7 Na Onyankopɔn asomdwoeɛ a ɛtra adeɛ nyinaa so no bɛhwɛ mo akoma ne mo adwene so wɔ Kristo Yesu mu.
and the peace of God, which surpasses every understanding, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts by Christ Jesus.
8 Anuanom, asɛm a mede rewie ne sɛ, deɛ ɛyɛ nokorɛ, deɛ ɛwɔ animuonyam, deɛ ɛtene, deɛ ɛho teɛ, deɛ ɛwɔ ɔdɔ, deɛ ɛwɔ din pa, sɛ ɔbra pa bi wɔ hɔ a, sɛ ayɛyie bi wɔ hɔ a, saa nneɛma yi ho na monnwene.
For the rest, brethren, whatsoever things [are] true, whatsoever things [are] noble, whatsoever things [are] just, whatsoever things [are] pure, whatsoever things [are] amiable, whatsoever things [are] of good report; if [there be] any virtue and if any praise, think on these things.
9 Deɛ moasua na moanya afiri me nkyɛn wɔ nsɛm ne nneyɛeɛ mu no na monyɛ. Na Onyankopɔn a ɔma yɛn asomdwoeɛ no bɛka mo ho.
What ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, these things do; and the God of peace shall be with you.
10 Mʼani gye wɔ Awurade mu sɛ afei deɛ moakyerɛ ɔdɔ a mode dɔ me. Ɛyɛ nokorɛ sɛ modɔ me deɛ, nanso na monnya ho ɛkwan nkyerɛ saa.
But I rejoiced in [the] Lord greatly, that now however at length ye have revived your thinking of me, though surely ye did also think [of me], but lacked opportunity.
11 Menka saa asɛm yi nkyerɛ sɛ ahia me, ɛfiri sɛ, me suahunu enti tebea biara a mekɔ mu no, ɛnha me.
Not that I speak as regards privation, for as to me I have learnt in those circumstances in which I am, to be satisfied in myself.
12 Menim ohia, nim ahonya, Masua saa ahintasɛm yi enti baabiara ne ɛberɛ biara, sɛ ɛkɔm de me anaa mamee, sɛ mewɔ bebree anaa kakra bi no, mepɛ no saa ara.
I know both how to be abased and I know how to abound. In everything and in all things I am initiated both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer privation.
13 Ahoɔden a Kristo de ma me no enti, metumi gyina tebea biara ano.
I have strength for all things in him that gives me power.
14 Ɛyɛ sɛ moboaa me wɔ mʼamanehunu mu.
But ye have done well in taking part in my affliction.
15 Mo Filipifoɔ no ankasa nim pefee sɛ ɛberɛ a mefirii Makedonia a na merefiti Asɛmpa no ka no ase no, mo nko ara ne asafo a moboaa me. Mo nko ara ne asafo a mo ne me kyɛɛ mo ahonyadeɛ.
And know also ye, O Philippians, that in [the] beginning of the gospel, when I came out of Macedonia, no assembly communicated [anything] to me in [the] way of giving and receiving save ye alone;
16 Mewɔ Tesalonika no, ɛberɛ biara a biribi ho bɛhia me no, mode brɛ me.
for also in Thessalonica once and even twice ye sent to me for my need.
17 Ɛnyɛ sɛ ɔpɛ na na mepɛ sɛ menya akyɛdeɛ na mmom, nhyira a mobɛnya wɔ mu na na mepɛ sɛ mehunu.
Not that I seek gift, but I seek fruit abounding to your account.
18 Me nsa aka biribiara a mode abrɛ me ma aboro so. Afei a Epafrodito de akyɛdeɛ no nyinaa abrɛ me yi, me nsa aka biribiara a ɛho hia me. Yeinom te sɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ hwamhwam a wɔbɔ ma Onyankopɔn, na ɔgye, na nʼani sɔ.
But I have all things in full supply and abound; I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things [sent] from you, an odour of sweet savour, an acceptable sacrifice, agreeable to God.
19 Me Onyankopɔn firi ne nnepa a ɔwɔ wɔ Kristo Yesu mu bɛma mo deɛ ɛhia mo nyinaa.
But my God shall abundantly supply all your need according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
But to our God and Father [be] glory to the ages of ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
21 Mekyea ahotefoɔ no wɔ Kristo Yesu mu. Anuanom a wɔne me wɔ ha no nso kyea mo.
Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren who [are] with me salute you.
22 Ahotefoɔ no nyinaa kyea mo; ne titire no, Ɔhempɔn Kaesare fiefoɔ.
All the saints salute you, and specially those of the household of Caesar.
23 Awurade Yesu Kristo adom nka mo nyinaa.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ [be] with your spirit. Amen.
