2 Corinthians 6

1 Working together, we entreat also that you do not receive the grace of God in vain.

Anuanom a yɛne Onyankopɔn bɔ mu yɛ adwuma, yɛsrɛ mo sɛ Onyankopɔn adom a mo nsa aka no, munnnye no kwa.

2 For he says, “At an acceptable time I listened to you. In a day of salvation I helped you.” Behold, now is the acceptable time. Behold, now is the day of salvation.

Onyankopɔn se, “Bere a ɛsɛ mu no, mebua wo, na nkwagye da no, mɛboa wo.” Muntie! Dɔnhwerew yi mu na ɛsɛ sɛ munya Onyankopɔn adom, na nnɛ ne nkwagye da no.

3 We give no occasion of stumbling in anything, that our service may not be blamed,

Yɛmpɛ sɛ obiara benya yɛn adwuma ho asɛmmɔne aka, enti yɛmpɛ sɛ yɛde hintidua to obiara kwan mu.

4 but in everything commending ourselves as servants of God: in great endurance, in afflictions, in hardships, in distresses,

Biribiara a yɛbɛyɛ no, ɛsɛ sɛ yɛda yɛn ho adi sɛ Onyankopɔn nkoa na yɛde boasetɔ tumi gyina ɔhaw ne amane nyinaa ano.

5 in beatings, in imprisonments, in riots, in labors, in watchings, in fastings,

Wɔahwe yɛn, wɔde yɛn ato afiase, dɔm baa yɛn so, wɔama yɛayɛ adwuma a ɛboro yɛn so, yɛasi pɛ akyen kɔm.

6 in pureness, in knowledge, in perseverance, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in sincere love,

Nanso yɛnam yɛn kronkronyɛ, osuahu, boasetɔ ne ayamye so ada yɛn ho adi sɛ yɛyɛ Onyankopɔn asomfo. Afei yɛnam Honhom Kronkron no so, yɛn nokware dɔ,

7 in the word of truth, in the power of God, by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,

yɛn nokwasɛm a yɛka ne Onyankopɔn tumi so kyerɛ sɛ yɛyɛ Onyankopɔn asomfo. Trenee ne yɛn akode a yɛde kɔ ɔtamfo so na yɛde bɔ yɛn ho ban nso.

8 by glory and dishonor, by evil report and good report, as deceivers and yet true,

Sɛ wɔhoahoa yɛn o, sɛ wogu yɛn anim ase o, sɛ wɔyaw yɛn o, sɛ wɔkamfo yɛn o, yɛkɔ so ara som Onyankopɔn. Wobu yɛn sɛ atorofo nanso yɛka nokware.

9 as unknown and yet well known, as dying and behold—we live, as punished and not killed,

Wɔyɛ wɔn ho sɛnea wonnim yɛn nanso obiara nim yɛn. Yewui, sɛnea muhu no, nanso yɛte ase. Ɛwɔ mu sɛ wɔtwee yɛn aso nanso wɔankum yɛn.

10 as sorrowful yet always rejoicing, as poor yet making many rich, as having nothing and yet possessing all things.

Wɔmaa yɛn werɛ howee, nanso yɛn ani gye daa. Yɛsɛ ahiafo, nanso yɛma nnipa bebree nya wɔn ho. Ɛyɛ sɛ yɛn nsam nni hwee, nanso yɛwɔ biribiara.

11 Our mouth is open to you, Corinthians. Our heart is enlarged.

Me nnamfonom a mowɔ Korinto, yɛabue yɛn koma mu aka nokware no akyerɛ mo.

12 You are not restricted by us, but you are restricted by your own affections.

Yɛmfaa biribiara nhintaw mo wɔ yɛn koma mu, na mo na mode nsɛm ahintaw yɛn wɔ mo koma mu.

13 Now in return—I speak as to my children—you also open your hearts.

Mprempren, mekasa kyerɛ mo sɛ me mma: sɛnea yɛdwene mo ho no, mo nso monnwene yɛn ho saa ara bi. Mommfa biribiara nhintaw yɛn. Mummue mo koma mu!

14 Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship do righteousness and iniquity have? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness?

Munnyaa mo ho mma abosonsomfo, efisɛ moyɛ no saa a, ɛnyɛ ye. Ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na nea eye ne nea enye behyia? Ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na hann ne sum atena faako?

15 What agreement does Christ have with Belial? Or what portion does a believer have with an unbeliever?

Ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na Kristo ne Ɔbonsam adwene ahyia? Dɛn na ogyidini ne nea ɔnyɛ ogyidini wɔ yɛ?

16 What agreement does a temple of God have with idols? For you are a temple of the living God. Even as God said, “I will dwell in them and walk in them. I will be their God and they will be my people.”

Ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na Onyankopɔn asɔredan ne ɔbonsam ahoni ayɛ nhyehyɛe? Yɛyɛ Onyankopɔn a ɔte ase no asɔredan sɛnea Onyankopɔn no ankasa aka se, “Mede me nkurɔfo bɛyɛ me fi na matena wɔn mu; mɛyɛ wɔn Nyankopɔn na wɔayɛ me nkurɔfo.”

17 Therefore “‘Come out from among them, and be separate,’ says the Lord. ‘Touch no unclean thing. I will receive you.

Awurade se, “Monkɔ. Mumfi hɔ nkɔ mommfa mo ho nka biribiara a ɛho ntew. Montew mo ho mfi nea ɛho ntew ho na megye mo.

18 I will be to you a Father. You will be to me sons and daughters,’ says the Lord Almighty.”

Na, “Mɛyɛ mo Agya, na mobɛyɛ me mmabarima ne me mmabea.” Otumfo Awurade na ose.
