2 Corinthians 2

1 But I determined this with myself, not to come to you again in sorrow.

Enti meyɛɛ mʼadwene sɛ meremma mo nkyɛn bio mmɛhyɛ mo awerɛhow.

2 For if I make you sorrowful, who is he then that can make me glad, but the same who is made sorrowful by me?

Sɛ mebɛhyɛ mo awerɛhow a hena na ɔbɛkyekyere me werɛ? Me ara a mahyɛ mo awerɛhow no ana?

3 And I wrote this same to you; that I may not, when I come, have sorrow upon sorrow, from them of whom I ought to rejoice: having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all.

Ɛno nti na mekyerɛw saa krataa no brɛɛ mo. Na mempɛ sɛ meba mo nnipa koro no ara a mubegye mʼani no nkyɛn abɛhyɛ mo awerɛhow. Minim yiye sɛ, sɛ me ho tɔ me a, mo nso mo ho bɛtɔ mo.

4 For out of much affliction and anguish of heart, I wrote to you with many tears: not that you should be made sorrowful: but that you might know the charity I have more abundantly towards you.

Mede amanehunu, awerɛhow ne nusu na ɛrekyerɛw mo saa krataa yi. Mankyerɛw mammɛhyɛ mo awerɛhow, na mmom, mekyerɛw de bɛkyerɛɛ ɔdɔ a medɔ mo nyinaa.

5 And if any one have caused grief, he hath not grieved me; but in part, that I may not burden you all.

Sɛ obi ahyɛ afoforo awerɛhow a, ɛnyɛ me na wahyɛ me saa awerɛhow no, na mo anaasɛ mo mu bi na wahyɛ no saa awerɛhow no. Mempɛ sɛ me nsa yɛ den wɔ saa onipa no so.

6 To him who is such a one, this rebuke is sufficient, which is given by many:

Aso a dodow no ara atwe no no dɔɔso ma no.

7 So that on the contrary, you should rather forgive him and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow.

Ɛsɛ sɛ mode kyɛ no na mokyekye ne werɛ sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a awerɛhow renhyɛ ne so.

8 Wherefore, I beseech you, that you would confirm your charity towards him.

Mesrɛ mo, momma onhu sɛ mopɛ nʼasɛm pa ara.

9 For to this end also did I write, that I may know the experiment of you, whether you be obedient in all things.

Nea enti a mekyerɛw mo krataa no ne sɛ: Mepɛ sɛ mihu sɛ moatumi agyina sɔhwɛ no ano pintinn na nsɛm a meka kyerɛ mo no nso, mudi so ana.

10 And to whom you have pardoned any thing, I also. For, what I have pardoned, if I have pardoned any thing, for your sakes have I done it in the person of Christ.

Sɛ obi yɛ bɔne bi na mode kyɛ no a, me nso mede kyɛ no. Sɛ ɛho hia sɛ mede bɛkyɛ na mede kyɛ a, ɛsɛ sɛ mede biribiara kyɛ. Na mo nti na meyɛ saa wɔ Kristo anim

11 That we be not overreached by Satan. For we are not ignorant of his devices.

sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a, ɔbonsam rennya yɛn ho kwan, efisɛ yenim ne nsusuwii.

12 And when I was come to Troas for the gospel of Christ, and a door was opened unto me in the Lord,

Bere a miduu Troa kɔkaa Kristo ho Asɛmpa no, mihuu sɛ Awurade ama adwuma no yɛ ho kwan wɔ hɔ.

13 I had no rest in my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother; but bidding them farewell, I went into Macedonia.

Nanso me werɛ howee, efisɛ na minhu yɛn nua Tito. Enti mekraa nnipa a wɔwɔ hɔ no na misii mu kɔɔ Makedonia.

14 Now thanks be to God, who always maketh us to triumph in Christ Jesus, and manifesteth the odour of his knowledge by us in every place.

Yɛda Onyankopɔn ase sɛ daa odi yɛn kan wɔ yɛn anigye ne nkonimdi santen wɔ Kristo mu ma ɔde yɛn trɛw ne ho nimdeɛ huamhuam no mu.

15 For we are the good odour of Christ unto God, in them that are saved, and in them that perish.

Yɛyɛ Kristo aduhuam wɔ wɔn a wɔregye wɔn nkwa ne wɔn a wɔreyera no mu ma Onyankopɔn.

16 To the one indeed the odour of death unto death: but to the others the odour of life unto life. And for these things who is so sufficient?

Na wɔn a wɔreyera no de, ɛyɛ wɔn hua bɔne a etumi kum. Nanso wɔn a wɔregye wɔn nkwa no de, ɛyɛ hua a ɛma wɔn nkwa. Hena na obetumi agyina adwuma a ɛyɛ den sɛɛ anim?

17 For we are not as many, adulterating the word of God; but with sincerity, but as from God, before God, in Christ we speak.

Yɛnte sɛ nnipa afoforo bi a wɔfa Onyankopɔn asɛm sɛ adetɔnnne bi, na esiane sɛ Onyankopɔn asoma yɛn no nti, yɛka nokware wɔ nʼanim sɛ Kristo asomfo.
