2 Corinthians 13

1 This is the third time I am coming to you. “At the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.”

Nsra a ɛto so abiɛsa a merebɛsra mo ni. Kyerɛwsɛm no ka se, “Adanse a nnipa baanu anaa baasa bedi no na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔfa.”

2 I have warned previously, and I warn again, as when I was present the second time, so now, being absent, I write to those who have sinned before now and to all the rest that if I come again, I will not spare,

Bere a mebaa mo nkyɛn nea ɛto so abien no, mebɔɔ mo kɔkɔ bi. Mereti mu mprempren a minni mo nkyɛn yi. Sɛ mesan ba bio a, meremfa mo anaa nnipa afoforo bi a wɔayɛ bɔne no ho nkyɛ wɔn,

3 seeing that you seek a proof of Christ who speaks in me who is not weak, but is powerful in you.

efisɛ mopɛ sɛ muhu nsɛnkyerɛnne bi sɛ Kristo nam me so kasa. Ɔnyɛ mmerɛw sɛ ɔbɛyɛ mo mu adwuma, na mmom ɔwɔ tumi wɔ mo mu.

4 For he was crucified through weakness, yet he lives through the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we will live with him through the power of God toward you.

Ɛwɔ mu sɛ mmerɛwyɛ mu na wɔbɔɔ no asennua mu, nanso Onyankopɔn tumi mu na ɔte ase yi. Yɛyɛ mmerɛw de, nanso ayɔnkofa a yɛne no wɔ nti, yɛne no bɛtena wɔ Onyankopɔn tumi mu.

5 Examine your own selves, whether you are in the faith. Test your own selves. Or do not you know about your own selves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified.

Monsɔ mo ho nhwɛ, na mummu mo ho atɛn nhwɛ sɛ mote ase wɔ gyidi mu ana. Munim yiye sɛ Kristo Yesu te mo mu ana? Sɛ ɔnte mo mu a na ɛkyerɛ sɛ moantumi sɔhwɛ no.

6 But I hope that you will know that we are not disqualified.

Minim yiye sɛ mubehu sɛ yɛanni nkogu.

7 Now I pray to God that you do no evil; not that we may appear approved, but that you may do that which is honorable, though we may seem to have failed.

Afei yɛbɔ mpae srɛ Onyankopɔn sɛ morenyɛ biribiara a enye. Yɛmpɛ sɛ nnipa behu sɛ yɛwɔ tumi bi wɔ mo so. Mpo sɛ wohu yɛn sɛ yɛsɛ nnipa a yɛadi nkogu wɔ yɛn adwuma mu a, yɛpɛ, efisɛ yɛpɛ sɛ mobɛyɛ nea eye de adi nkonim.

8 For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.

Yɛrentumi nsɔre ntia nokware, na mmom nokware nko ara na ɛsɛ sɛ yegyina ma no.

9 For we rejoice when we are weak and you are strong. We also pray for this: your becoming perfect.

Sɛ yehu sɛ yɛyɛ mmerɛw na moyɛ den a, na yɛn ani agye. Enti yɛn nso yɛrebɔ mpae sɛ mobɛyɛ pɛ.

10 For this cause I write these things while absent, that I may not deal sharply when present, according to the authority which the Lord gave me for building up and not for tearing down.

Ɛno nti na merekyerɛw saa krataa yi abrɛ mo, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ na, sɛ meba a merennyina tumi a Awurade de ama me sɛ memfa mmoa mo na munyin na mo mu antetew no so ne mo nni no anibere so.

11 Finally, brothers, rejoice! Be perfected. Be comforted. Be of the same mind. Live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you.

Enti anuanom, makra mo! Mompere nhwehwɛ ade pa; muntie mʼafotu; mo ne mo ho mo ho nka na montena ase asomdwoe mu. Na ɔdɔ ne asomdwoe Nyankopɔn no ne mo bɛtena.

12 Greet one another with a holy kiss.

Momfa onuadɔ nkyiakyia mo ho mo ho.

13 All the saints greet you.

Onyankopɔn nkurɔfo nyinaa kyiakyia mo.

14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, God’s love, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.

Yɛn Awurade Yesu Kristo dom ne Onyankopɔn dɔ ne Honhom Kronkron no ayɔnkofa nka mo nyinaa.
