2 Corinthians 4
1 Therefore, seeing we have this ministration, according as we have obtained mercy, we faint not;
Onyankopɔn nam nʼadom so de saa asɛm yi abrɛ yɛn na ɛno nti ɛmma yɛn koma ntutu.
2 But we renounce the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor adulterating the word of God; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience, in the sight of God.
Yɛagyae kokoamsɛm ne aniwu nneyɛe nyinaa. Yɛnnaadaa na yentwa Onyankopɔn asɛm no ho nkontompo. Yɛnnaadaa obi mma onnye nea Kyerɛwsɛm no nkae no nni. Yegyaee saa aniwude no nyinaa. Yegyina Onyankopɔn anim kasa nti yɛka nokware ma wɔn a wonim yɛn no nyinaa gye di.
3 And if our gospel be also hid, it is hid to them that are lost,
Sɛ Asɛmpa a yɛka no yɛ ahintasɛm a, ɛyɛ ahintasɛm ma wɔn a wɔreyera.
4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of unbelievers, that the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not shine unto them. (aiōn g165)
Wonnye nni, efisɛ ɔbonsam asɛe wɔn adwene. Ɔtwe wɔn fi hann a ɛhyerɛn wɔ wɔn so no ho; hann a efi Asɛmpa no mu a ɛfa Kristo a ɔte sɛ Onyankopɔn anuonyam no ho no. (aiōn g165)
5 For we preach not ourselves, but Jesus Christ our Lord; and ourselves your servants through Jesus.
Ɛnyɛ yɛn ankasa ho na yɛka asɛm no fa. Yɛka Yesu Kristo ho asɛm sɛ ɔno ne Awurade no na yɛn nso Yesu nti, yɛyɛ mo asomfo.
6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God, in the face of Christ Jesus.
Onyankopɔn a ɔkae se, “Hann mfi sum mu nhyerɛn” no, ɔno na wahyerɛn wɔ yɛn koma mu ama yɛanya Onyankopɔn anuonyam ho nimdeɛ wɔ Yesu Kristo mu.
7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency may be of the power of God, and not of us.
Yɛte sɛ nkuku a wɔde agyapade asie mu. Tumi ankasa no fi Onyankopɔn na emfi yɛn.
8 In all things we suffer tribulation, but are not distressed; we are straitened, but are not destitute;
Yɛtaa hu amane, nanso wɔnsɛee yɛn. Mpo sɛ yenhu nea yɛnyɛ a yɛmpa abaw.
9 We suffer persecution, but are not forsaken; we are cast down, but we perish not:
Amane mu, Onyankopɔn ka yɛn ho, na sɛ wɔbɔ yɛn hwe fam a yɛsɔre bio.
10 Always bearing about in our body the mortification of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be made manifest in our bodies.
Mmere nyinaa yɛn nipadua no soa Yesu wu a owui no, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a nʼabrabɔ bɛda adi wɔ yɛn mu.
11 For we who live are always delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake; that the life also of Jesus may be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
Yɛn asetena mu nyinaa, Yesu nti, yɛte hɔ ma owu, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a nʼabrabɔ bɛda adi wɔ yɛn nipadua a ewu no mu.
12 So then death worketh in us, but life in you.
Eyi kyerɛ sɛ owu di ne dwuma wɔ yɛn mu na nkwa nso di ne dwuma wɔ mo mu.
13 But having the same spirit of faith, as it is written: I believed, for which cause I have spoken; we also believe, for which cause we speak also:
Kyerɛwsɛm no ka se, “Mekasae, efisɛ na migye di.” Saa honhom mu gyidi no ara so na ɛma yɛn nso yɛkasa, efisɛ yegye di.
14 Knowing that he who raised up Jesus, will raise us up also with Jesus, and place us with you.
Yenim sɛ Onyankopɔn a ɔmaa Awurade Yesu sɔre fii awufo mu no bɛma yɛne Yesu asɔre na ɔde yɛn abɛka mo ho wɔ nʼanim.
15 For all things are for your sakes; that the grace abounding through many, may abound in thanksgiving unto the glory of God.
Mo nti na eyinom bɛba mu; na sɛnea Onyankopɔn adom no redu nnipa bebree nkyɛn no, saa ara nso na wɔbɛbɔ mpae ada Onyankopɔn ase de ahyɛ no anuonyam.
16 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man is corrupted, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
Esiane eyi nti, yɛn koma ntutu. Ɛwɔ mu sɛ yɛn nipadua no reporɔw nkakrankakra de, nanso yɛn honhom no de, ɛsesa yɛ foforo da biara.
17 For that which is at present momentary and light of our tribulation, worketh for us above measure exceedingly an eternal weight of glory. (aiōnios g166)
Na saa ɔhaw kakra a yɛfa mu no de anuonyam a enni awiei a ɛboro saa ɔhaw no so no bɛbrɛ yɛn. (aiōnios g166)
18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen, are temporal; but the things which are not seen, are eternal. (aiōnios g166)
Yɛmfa yɛn adwene nkɔ nneɛma a yehu so, na mmom, nneɛma a yenhu so na yɛde yɛn adwene kɔ. Nea wotumi hu no ntena hɔ nkyɛ, nanso nea wontumi nhu no tena hɔ daa. (aiōnios g166)
