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.
Therefore, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved.
2 Euodia ne Sintike, mesrɛ mo, montena ase sɛ anuanom wɔ Awurade mu.
I beseech Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, that they 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.
And I intreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellowlabourers, 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 alway: and again I say, Rejoice.
5 Mommrɛ mo ho ase mma nnipa nyinaa. Ɛrenkyɛre, Awurade bɛba.
Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.
6 Mommma biribiara nha mo. Daa, mo nkotosrɛ ne aseda mpaeɛbɔ nyinaa mu no, momma mo adesrɛ nnuru Onyankopɔn anim.
Be anxious for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto 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 passeth all understanding, shall guard your hearts and minds through 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.
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be 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.
Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, 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 at the last your care of me hath flourished again; wherein ye were also careful, but ye 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 in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.
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: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.
13 Ahoɔden a Kristo de ma me no enti, metumi gyina tebea biara ano.
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
14 Ɛyɛ sɛ moboaa me wɔ mʼamanehunu mu.
Notwithstanding ye have well done, that ye did communicate with 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.
Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no Assembly communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only.
16 Mewɔ Tesalonika no, ɛberɛ biara a biribi ho bɛhia me no, mode brɛ me.
For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity.
17 Ɛnyɛ sɛ ɔpɛ na na mepɛ sɛ menya akyɛdeɛ na mmom, nhyira a mobɛnya wɔ mu na na mepɛ sɛ mehunu.
Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound 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, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God.
19 Me Onyankopɔn firi ne nnepa a ɔwɔ wɔ Kristo Yesu mu bɛma mo deɛ ɛhia mo nyinaa.
But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Now unto God and our Father be glory for ever and ever. 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 which are with me greet you.
22 Ahotefoɔ no nyinaa kyea mo; ne titire no, Ɔhempɔn Kaesare fiefoɔ.
All the saints salute you, chiefly they that are of Caesar’s household.
23 Awurade Yesu Kristo adom nka mo nyinaa.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. It was written to the Philippians from Rome by Epaphroditus.
