2 Corinthians 7

1 Having therefore these promises, beloved, let’s cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

Me nnamfo pa, wɔahyɛ yɛn saa bɔ yi nyinaa. Enti momma yɛntew yɛn ho mfi biribiara a egu ɔhonam anaa ɔkra no ho fi ho na yɛntena ase wɔ Onyankopɔn mu mfa ntew yɛn ho kronkron.

2 Open your hearts to us. We wronged no one. We corrupted no one. We took advantage of no one.

Mummue mo koma mu mma yɛn. Yɛnyɛɛ obiara bɔne. Yensisii obiara na yetwaa obiara dwow nso.

3 I say this not to condemn you, for I have said before that you are in our hearts to die together and live together.

Merenka saa asɛm yi mfa ngu mo anim ase. Sɛnea madi kan aka no, yɛdɔ mo nti daa sɛ yewu o, yɛte ase o, yɛbata mo ho.

4 Great is my boldness of speech toward you. Great is my boasting on your behalf. I am filled with comfort. I overflow with joy in all our affliction.

Migye mo di nti mede mo hoahoa me ho. Yɛn haw nyinaa mu no, mempaa abaw ɛ. Mede ahosɛpɛw retu mmirika no.

5 For even when we had come into Macedonia, our flesh had no relief, but we were afflicted on every side. Fightings were outside. Fear was inside.

Mpo yeduu Makedonia no, yɛanhome. Na ɔhaw abunkam hɔnom, akasakasa wɔ wɔn ntam na ehu ahyɛ yɛn so.

6 Nevertheless, he who comforts the lowly, God, comforted us by the coming of Titus,

Onyankopɔn a ɔhyɛ wɔn a wɔpa abaw den no nam Tito ba a ɔbae no so hyɛɛ yɛn den.

7 and not by his coming only, but also by the comfort with which he was comforted in you while he told us of your longing, your mourning, and your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced still more.

Ɛnyɛ ne ba a ɔbae no nko, na mmom ka a ɔbɛkaa se mohyɛɛ no nkuran no. Ɔkaa sɛnea mopɛ sɛ muhu me no kyerɛɛ me. Ɔkaa sɛnea mudii yaw ne sɛnea na moasiesie mo ho sɛ mobɛbɔ me ho ban no; enti mprempren, ama mʼani agye sen kan no.

8 For though I grieved you with my letter, I do not regret it, though I did regret it. For I see that my letter made you grieve, though just for a while.

Sɛ me krataa a mekyerɛw mo no hyɛɛ mo awerɛhow a, ɛnyɛ me yaw sɛ mekyerɛwee. Mfiase no ɛhaw me nanso mprempren de, ɛnhaw me. Minim sɛ krataa no mu nsɛm how mo werɛ bere tiaa bi.

9 I now rejoice, not that you were grieved, but that you were grieved to repentance. For you were grieved in a godly way, that you might suffer loss by us in nothing.

Nanso mprempren de, mʼani agye; ɛnyɛ sɛ memaa mo werɛ howee no nti, na mmom sɛ mo awerɛhow no ama moasesa mo akwan. Onyankopɔn na ɔmaa mo werɛ howee enti yɛn de, yɛanhaw mo.

10 For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, which brings no regret. But the sorrow of the world produces death.

Awerɛhow a Onyankopɔn de baa mo so no nti, moanya ahonu bi a ɛnam so de mo bɛkɔ nkwagye mu; enti ɛnsɛ sɛ ɛyɛ mo yaw. Nanso awerɛhow a wiase de brɛ yɛn no de, ɛde owu na ɛba.

11 For behold, this same thing, that you were grieved in a godly way, what earnest care it worked in you. Yes, what defense, indignation, fear, longing, zeal, and vindication! In everything you demonstrated yourselves to be pure in the matter.

Monhwɛ nea Onyankopɔn nam how a ɔmaa mo werɛ how no so ayɛ. Mopɛ sɛ mufi mo koma mu kyerɛ sɛ munni fɔ. Mo bo afuw. Mo ho adwiriw mo. Mo ho pere mo pɛ sɛ muhu sɛ atɛntrenee ayɛ adwuma. Moakyerɛ sɛ mudi bem wɔ asɛm yi ho.

12 So although I wrote to you, I wrote not for his cause that did the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered the wrong, but that your earnest care for us might be revealed in you in the sight of God.

Ɛwɔ mu sɛ mekyerɛw saa krataa no de, nanso ɛnyɛ obi a ɔyɛ bɔne anaa obi a wɔyɛ no bɔne nti na mekyerɛwee. Na mmom sɛnea mo ankasa mubehu ɔkwan a moafa so atu mo ho asi hɔ ama yɛn wɔ Onyankopɔn anim no.

13 Therefore we have been comforted. In our comfort we rejoiced the more exceedingly for the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed by you all.

Ɛno na ɛhyɛ yɛn nkuran no. Ɛnyɛ nkuran a ɛhyɛɛ yɛn no nko. Tito nso nam gye a mugyee no maa nʼani gyee no so maa yɛn nso yɛn ani gyei.

14 For if in anything I have boasted to him on your behalf, I was not disappointed. But as we spoke all things to you in truth, so our glorying also which I made before Titus was found to be truth.

Mede mo ahoahoa me ho akyerɛ no na moanni me nhuammɔ. Daa yɛka nokware kyerɛ mo na hoa a mede mo hoahoa me ho kyerɛ Tito no nso aba mu.

15 His affection is more abundantly toward you, while he remembers all of your obedience, how with fear and trembling you received him.

Enti sɛ ɔkae sɛnea mo nyinaa pɛɛ sɛ moyɛ osetie ma no na mode obu ne nidi gyee no fɛw so no a, ɛhyɛ ɔdɔ a ɔdɔ mo no mu den.

16 I rejoice that in everything I am confident concerning you.

Ɛyɛ me anigye sɛ metumi de me ho nyinaa ato mo so.
