2 Corinthians 2

1 I judged (for *N+kO) within myself this not again in grief to you to come.

Ke azɔ la, nye ŋutɔ meɖoe be nyemagava mia gbɔ kple nu si agahe nuxaxa vɛ na mi o,

2 If for I myself grieve you again who (is *k) the [one] gladdening me except not the [one] being grieved by me?

elabena ne megade nuxaxa miaƒe dzi me la, miate ŋu ado dzidzɔ nam ne mele mia gbɔ o. Evɔ ame bubu aɖeke hã meli si ado dzidzɔ nam tsɔ wu miawo o.

3 And I wrote (to you *k) this same thing, so that not having come grief (I may have *N+kO) from [those] of whom it was necessary me to rejoice having trusted in all you that my joy of all of you is.

Esia ta meŋlɔ agbalẽ ma na mi, ale be miaɖɔ nuwo ɖo hafi mava elabena nyemedi be makpɔ naneke le mi, ame siwo ŋu meɖoa ŋu ɖo be miado dzidzɔ geɖe nam la ŋu, si ade nuxaxa nye dzi me o. Menya nyuie be ne meva mia gbɔ le dzidzɔ me la, ekema miawo hã miakpɔ dzidzɔ geɖe.

4 Out of for much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote to you through many tears, not that you may be grieved, but the love that you may know that I have more abundantly toward you.

Nuxaxa kple vevesese geɖe nɔ nye dzi me, eye aɖatsi ge le mo nam gɔ̃ hã le agbalẽ ma ŋɔŋlɔ me, eye menye ɖe meŋlɔ agbalẽ la be mana miaxa nu o. Ke boŋ meŋlɔe be mana miadze si ale si melɔ̃ mi vevie.

5 If however anyone has caused grief, not me myself has he grieved but in part — that not I may burden all you.

Ne ame aɖe he nuxaxa vɛ la, menye nyee wòdo nuxaxa na o ke boŋ mi katãe, mele egblɔm alea be nyemagate gbe ɖe edzi fũu o.

6 Sufficient to such a one [is] the punishment this which [is] by the majority,

Eya ta tohehe si ame akpa gãtɔ da ɖe ame ma dzi la sɔ gbɔ nɛ.

7 so that on the contrary rather for you to forgive and to comfort [him], lest perhaps by more excessive sorrow may be overwhelmed such a one.

Azɔ ele be miatsɔ eƒe nu vɔ̃wo akee, eye miafa akɔ nɛ. Ne menye nenema o la, ase veve eye dzi aɖe le eƒo ale gbegbe be wòatrɔ ɖa tso nyateƒe la gbɔ.

8 Therefore I exhort you to confirm toward him love.

Meɖe kuku na mi, miɖee fiae azɔ be miegalɔ̃e pɛpɛpɛ abe tsã ene.

9 For this indeed also did I write, so that I may know the proof of you, whether to everything obedient you are.

Meŋlɔ agbalẽ ma na mi be makpɔe ɖa be miele klalo awɔ ɖe nye ɖoɖowo dzi, eye be makpɔe ɖa be toɖoɖo ƒe gbɔgbɔ le mia me mahã?

10 To whomever now anything you forgive, I also myself; I also myself; and for I myself (to whom *N+kO) I have forgiven, if anything I have forgiven, [it is] for you in [the] presence of Christ,

Nu si mietsɔ ke ame aɖe la, nye hã metsɔe kee, eye edze be nye hã matsɔe ke le Aƒetɔ Yesu Kristo ƒe ŋusẽ me hena miaƒe nyonyo ko.

11 so that not we may be outwitted by Satan; not for of his schemes we are ignorant.

Susu bubu si ta wòdze be miatsɔ nu vɔ̃ ake amewo ɖo lae nye be miaxe mɔ na Satana be wòagaɖu mia dzi, ahe tɔtɔ va mia dome o, elabena mí katã míedze si ale si wòdi be yeade zitɔtɔ hamewo domee.

12 Having come now to Troas for the gospel of Christ also a door to me having been opened in [the] Lord,

Esi meva Troa be magblɔ Kristo ƒe nyanyui la le afi ma la, mekpɔ be Aƒetɔ la ŋutɔ ʋu mɔ nam be dɔ la nayi edzi nyuie,

13 not I have had rest in the spirit of mine in the not finding my Titus the brother of mine, instead having taken leave of them I went out to Macedonia.

gake metsi dzi le ɖokuinye me, elabena nyemekpɔ nɔvinye lɔlɔ̃tɔ Tito le afi ma o. Esia ta medo taflatse na Troatɔwo, eye medzo le afi ma heyi Makedonia.

14 However to God [be] thanks to the [One] always leading in triumph us in Christ and the fragrance of the knowledge of Him making manifest through us in every place,

Ke akpe na Mawu be to nu si Kristo wɔ me la, míekpɔ dziɖuɖu eye míekaka nyanyui la abe ami ʋeʋĩ si ʋẽna lĩlĩlĩ ene ɖe amewo dome le afi sia afi si míeyi.

15 For of Christ a sweet perfume we are to God in those being saved and in those perishing,

Elabena Mawu wɔ mí míezu ami si ʋẽna lĩlĩlĩ la, eye Kristo ƒe ʋeʋẽ lĩlĩlĩ si wòtsɔ de mía me la, kaka ɖe ame siwo katã kpɔ xɔxɔ kple ame siwo mekpɔe o la siaa dome.

16 to one indeed an odor (from *no) death to death, to one however a fragrance (from *no) life to life. And for these things who [is] sufficient?

Nunana nyui si Kristo tsɔ na mí la ɖi ku ƒe ʋeʋẽ na ame siwo le tsɔtsrɔ̃m. Ke le ame siwo xɔ Kristo dzi se ya gbɔ la, míenye ʋeʋẽ lĩlĩlĩ si naa agbe. Azɔ biabia lae nye be ame ka ŋu ŋutete le be wòawɔ dɔ siawo?

17 Not for we are like the (many *NK+O) peddling the word of God, but as of sincerity, but as of God, (before *N+kO) God in Christ we speak.

Míawo la, míele abe ame siwo tsɔ mawunya la ɖo ŋgonu hele amewo blem, le ga xɔm le wo si la ene o. Esi wònye Mawue dɔ mí ta la, míeƒoa nu kple Kristo ƒe ŋusẽ la, eye Mawu ƒe ŋku le mía ŋu ɖaa.
