Korintotɔwo 1 16
1 Azɔ la, se siwo le ga si dzɔm miele be yewoaɖo ɖe kristotɔ siwo le Yerusalem ŋu la woe nye esiawo. Se siawo ke mede na hame siwo le Galatia.
Now concerning the offering for the saints, you also are to do as I directed the church of Galatia.
2 Le Kɔsiɖa ɖe sia ɖe gbe la, ele be mia dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe natsɔ ga si wòkpɔ le kɔsiɖa me la ƒe akpa aɖe adzra ɖo, eye wòawɔ eŋu dɔ na nunana sia. Ga home la ku ɖe home si Aƒetɔ la kpe ɖe amea ŋu wòkpɔ la ŋu. Migalala va se ɖe esime mava afi ma hafi miadze agbagba be yewoadzɔ ga home la katã zi ɖeka o.
On the first day of each week let each of you put aside something, keeping it in store as he may prosper, so that when I come there may be no collections going on.
3 Ne meva la, maŋlɔ agbalẽ akpe ɖe miaƒe lɔlɔ̃ ƒe nunana la ŋu aɖo ɖe Yerusalem to dɔla nuteƒewɔla aɖe si miawo ŋutɔ miatia la dzi.
On my arrival I will send those whom you may accredit by letter to carry your bounty to Jerusalem.
4 Eye ne anyo be nye hã mayi kplii la, ekema míate ŋu azɔ afɔ ɖekae.
And if it is worth while for me to go too, they will accompany me.
5 Mayi Makedonia gbã hafi ava kpɔ mi ɖa, ke manɔ afi ma ɣeyiɣi kpui aɖe ko.
Now I shall come to you after I have gone through Macedonia.
6 Ate ŋu ava eme be manɔ miawo gbɔ wòadidi wu, ɖewohĩ le vuvɔŋɔli blibo la katã me, eye miado mɔm mayi teƒe bubu.
I shall remain some time with you; possibly spending the winter, in order that you may help me forward in whatever journey I take.
7 Nyemegadi azɔ be makpɔ mi ɖa ɣeyiɣi kpui aɖe ko eye matso eme o. Medi be mava nɔ anyi sẽe ne Aƒetɔ la aɖe mɔ nam.
For I do not wish at this present time to see you merely in passing; but if the Lord permits, I hope to remain some time with you.
8 Manɔ Efeso le afi sia va se ɖe Pentekoste ƒe ŋkekenyui la dzi,
I am staying for the present in Ephesus, until Pentecost;
9 elabena mɔnukpɔkpɔ tɔxɛ aɖe li nam be magblɔ mawunya eye mafia nu le afi sia. Mɔnukpɔkpɔ geɖewo li, ke futɔwo hã sɔ gbɔ.
for a door has opened to me, great and effectual, and the opponents are many.
10 Ne Timoteo va la, mina eƒe mo nadze anyi, elabena ele Aƒetɔ la ƒe dɔ wɔm abe nye ke ene.
If Timothy come, see to it that he is among you without trepidation; for he is doing the Lord’s work, as I am, so let no one disparage him.
11 Migana ame aɖeke nado vloe alo agbe toɖoɖoe o, ke mina wòakpɔ dzidzɔ le ɣeyiɣi si wòanɔ mia dome la me, eye miaɖoe ɖem le ŋutifafa me. Mele mɔ kpɔm be makpɔ eya kple nɔvi bubu siwo trɔ gbɔna la kaba.
Whenever he comes to me, send him on his way in peace, for I am expecting him with the other brothers.
12 Meɖe kuku na mía nɔvi Apolo be eya kple nɔvia bubuwo nava kpɔ mi ɖa, ke ebu be menye Mawu ƒe ɖoɖo wònye na ye be yeayi fifia o. Ava mia gbɔ emegbe ne mɔnu aɖe ʋu nɛ.
As for our Apollos, I have many times urged him to go to you with the others, but he was always unwilling to go to you at this time. He will come, however, whenever he has a good opportunity.
13 Minɔ ŋudzɔ, minɔ tsitre le xɔse me. Minɔ agbe abe kalẽtɔwo ene, eye misẽ ŋu.
Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, be manly, be strong.
14 Nu sia nu si miawɔ la, miwɔe kple amenuveve kple lɔlɔ̃.
Let all that you do be done in love.
15 Mele nu xlɔ̃m mi, nɔviwo. Mieɖoa ŋku Stefano kple eƒe ƒomea dzia? Woawoe nye ame gbãtɔ siwo zu kristotɔwo le Akaya eye wole kpekpeɖeŋu geɖe nam kristotɔwo le afi sia afi.
I beg you this, my brothers - you know the household of Stephanus, that they were the first-fruits of Achaia, and that they devoted themselves to the service of the saints -
16 Miwɔ nu siwo woaɖo na mi, eye miwɔ nu sia nu si miate ŋui la be miakpe ɖe wo kple ame bubu siwo katã tsɔ wo ɖokuiwo sa vɔe abe woawo ke ene, eye wowɔa dɔ sesĩe le mia dome la ŋu.
so I want you also to show deference to such, and to every fellow worker, and laborer.
17 Mekpɔ dzidzɔ ŋutɔ be Stefano, Fortunatus kple Akaiko va ɖo mía gbɔ be yewoakpɔ mí ɖa. Wole kpekpeɖeŋudɔ siwo miele afi sia awɔ nam o la wɔm nam ɖe mia teƒe.
I am glad that Stephanus and Fortunatus and Achaicus have arrived, for they have made up for your absence.
18 Wodo dzidzɔ geɖe nam, eye wode dzi ƒo nam ŋutɔ. Meka ɖe edzi be nenema ke wowɔ na miawo hã. Mexɔe se be miekpɔ ŋudzedze le ame siawo kple ame bubu siwo le abe woawo ke ene la ƒe dɔwɔwɔ ŋu.
They refresh my spirit as they do yours. So cultivate the acquaintance of such men.
19 Hame siwo le Asia afi sia la do gbe na mi. Akwila kple Priskila kple ame bubu siwo katã kpea ta le woƒe aƒe me hena sɔlemedede la hã do gbe na mi le Aƒetɔ la me.
The churches of Asia greet you. Aquila and Priscilla (Prisca), with the church that meets in their house, greet you heartily in the Lord.
20 Nɔvi siwo katã le afi sia la bia tso asinye be mado gbe na mi na yewo. Mido gbe na mia nɔewo kple lɔlɔ̃ si dze la ne miedo go.
All the brothers send greetings. Greet one another with a holy kiss.
21 Nye Paulo, meŋlɔ agbalẽ sia ƒe nya mamlɛtɔwo kple nye ŋutɔ nye asi.
The greeting of me, Paul, with my own hand.
22 Ame sia ame si melɔ̃a Aƒetɔ la o la, woaƒo fi adee. Aƒetɔ Yesu va!
If any one does not love the Lord, let him be accursed. Our Lord is coming.
23 Aƒetɔ Yesu Kristo ƒe lɔlɔ̃ kple amenuveve nanɔ anyi kpli mi katã.
The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.
24 Metsɔ nye lɔlɔ̃ na mi katã le Kristo Yesu me. Amen.
My love be with you all in Christ Jesus.
