2 Korintofo 11

1 Mewɔ anidaso sɛ, sɛ meyɛ nkwaseade koraa a mubegye me. Mepa mo kyɛw, monyɛ saa.

I could wish ye would bear with me as to some little foolishness, —Nay! do even bear with me!

2 Metwe mo ho ninkunu sɛnea Onyankopɔn twe mo ho ninkunu no. Mote sɛ ɔbabun a mahyɛ ɔbarima baako pɛ bi a ɔno ne Kristo no bɔ sɛ mede mo bɛma no aware.

For I am jealous over you with a jealousy, of God; for I myself betrothed you unto one husband, to present, a chaste virgin, unto the Christ, —

3 Misuro sɛ wɔbɛsɛe mo adwene na mo a mode mo ho nyinaa ama Kristo no, mubegyae sɛnea ɔwɔ no nam anifere so daadaa Hawa no.

But I fear lest, by any means, as, the serpent, completely deceived Eve, in his craftiness, your minds should be corrupted from the singleness [and the chasteness] which are [due] unto the Christ.

4 Mode anigye gye obiara a ɔba mo nkyɛn bɛka Yesu foforo a ɔnyɛ nea yɛka ne ho asɛm kyerɛ mo no di; mugye honhom bi ne asɛmpa bi a nsonoe da ɛno ne Honhom ne Asɛmpa a yɛka kyerɛ mo no ntam no di.

For, if, indeed, he that cometh, is proclaiming, another Jesus, whom we have not proclaimed, or, a different Spirit, ye are receiving, which ye had not received, or a different glad-message, which ye have never welcomed, ye are, well, bearing.

5 Minnye nni sɛ meyɛ “Asomafo” no mu abomfiaa.

For I reckon not to have come a whit behind the exceeding overmuch apostles;

6 Ebia mʼano ntew de, nanso mʼadwene mu abue. Yɛnam akwannuasa so akyerɛ mo eyi ase fann.

And, even if uncultured in my discourse, certainly not in my knowledge, —but, in every way, having made [it] manifest, in all things, unto you.

7 Mebɛkaa Onyankopɔn Asɛmpa no kyerɛɛ mo no, mannye mo hwee. Mebrɛɛ me ho ase sɛnea ɛbɛma mo akrɔn. So bɔne a meyɛɛ ne sɛ meyɛɛ saa ana?

Or, a sin, did I commit—abasing, myself, that, ye, might be exalted, —in that, free of charge, God’s glad-message, I announced unto you?

8 Bere a na mereyɛ mo mu adwuma no, asafo afoforo bi na na wotua me ka.

Other assemblies, I despoiled, receiving supplies that I might minister, unto you;

9 Bere a na mewɔ mo nkyɛn no, sɛ sika ho hia me a, na menhaw mo. Na anuanom a wɔte Makedonia no de biribiara a ɛho hia me brɛ me. Sɛnea na ɛte mmere a atwa mu no, saa ara nso na daakye ɛbɛyɛ. Merenyɛ adesoa mma mo da.

And, being present with you, and having come short, I was not burdensome to anyone, —for, my deficiency, the brethren, coming from Macedonia, helped to make up; —and, in everything, without burden unto you, I kept, myself—and will keep!

10 Kristo nokwaredi a ahyɛ me ma nti, mehyɛ mo bɔ sɛ obiara rentumi nka mʼahohoahoa yi nhyɛ wɔ Helaman mu da.

Truth of Christ is in me, that, this boasting, shall not be silenced unto me, in the regions of Achaia.

11 Adɛn nti na meka saa? Efisɛ mennɔ mo ana? Onyankopɔn nim sɛ medɔ mo.

Wherefore? Because I love you not? God, knoweth!

12 Mɛkɔ so adi dwuma a meredi no mprempren yi sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a saa “asomafo” no rennya kwan nhoahoa wɔn ho sɛ dwuma a wodi no te sɛ yɛn dwuma a yedi no ara pɛ.

But, what I am doing, I also will do, —that I may cut off the occasion of them who are wishing an occasion, that, wherein they are boasting themselves, they may be found even as also, we.

13 Saa nnipa no nyɛ nokware asomafo. Wɔyɛ atoro asomafo a wɔnam twa atoro wɔ wɔn adwuma ho ma nnipa hu wɔn sɛ wɔyɛ Kristo asomafo.

For, such as these, are false apostles, deceitful workers, transfiguring themselves into apostles of Christ.

14 Ɛnyɛ me nwonwa, efisɛ ɔbonsam koraa tumi sesa ne ho ma ɔdan yɛ sɛ hann.

And no marvel! for, Satan himself, doth transfigure himself into a messenger of light!

15 Enti ɛnyɛ nwonwa sɛ nʼasomfo tumi sesa wɔn ho de daadaa nnipa sɛ wɔyɛ papa. Awiei no, wobenya wɔn nneyɛe so akatua pɛpɛɛpɛ.

No great thing, therefore, if, his ministers also, are transfiguring themselves as ministers of righteousness!—whose end, shall be according to their works.

16 Miti mu ka bio se: Ɛnsɛ sɛ obiara susuw sɛ meyɛ ɔkwasea. Sɛ mususuw saa a, ɛno de munnye me sɛnea mubegye ɔkwasea na menam so atumi ahoahoa me ho.

Again, I say—let no one deem me to be, foolish; but, otherwise, at least, as foolish, give me welcome, that, I also, some little, may boast myself.

17 Asɛm a mereka yi nyɛ nea Awurade pɛ sɛ meka. Meka ahohoahoa ho asɛm a, na mekasa sɛ ɔkwasea.

What I am saying, not according to the Lord, am I saying, but as in foolishness, —in this my boastful confidence!

18 Nanso esiane sɛ nnipa bebree hoahoa wɔn ho wɔ nipasu mu nti, me nso mɛyɛ saa.

Since, many, are boasting after the flesh, I also, will boast;

19 Mo ankasa mo ani atew nti mode anigye gye nkwaseafo.

For, gladly, do ye bear with the foolish, being [yourselves], discreet, —

20 Mugye obi a ɔhyɛ mo so anaa nea onya mo ho biribi anaa nea osum mo afiri anaa nea ommu mo anaa nea ɔbɔ mo ani so.

For ye bear with it—if anyone enslaveth you, if any devoureth, if anyone taketh, if anyone lifteth himself up, if anyone, on the face, doth smite you!

21 Mede fɛre gye eyi to mu sɛ yɛyɛ mmerɛw dodo wɔ eyi mu. Sɛ obi gye kyim de biribi hoahoa ne ho a, merekasa sɛ ɔkwasea, me nso megye kyim ahoahoa me ho wɔ dekode no ho bi.

By way of disparagement, am I speaking, —as though, we, had been weak! whereas, in whatsoever anyone dareth, in foolishness I speak, I also, dare: —

22 Wɔyɛ Hebrifo ana? Me nso meyɛ bi. Wɔyɛ Israelfo ana? Me nso meyɛ bi. Wɔyɛ Abraham asefo ana? Me nso meyɛ bi.

Hebrews, are they? I also, Israelites, are they? I also, seed of Abraham, are they? I also,

23 Wɔyɛ Kristo asomfo ana? Merekasa sɛ ɔbɔdamfo. Nanso meyɛ ɔsomfo pa sen wɔn. Mayɛ adwuma a ɛyɛ den sen wɔn; mada afiase mpɛn bebree; wɔabɔ me mmaa bebree na metaa mebɛn owu nso.

Ministers of Christ, are they? As one deranged I am talking, I, above measure!—in toils, superabundantly, in prisons, superabundantly, in stripes, to excess, in deaths, oft, —

24 Yudafo bɔɔ me mmaa aduasa akron ahorow anum.

From Jews, five times, forty-save-one, have I received,

25 Romafo bɔɔ me mmaa mprɛnsa na wosiw me abo pɛnkoro. Metenaa ahyɛn mu ma ɛbɔɔ mprɛnsa. Madi asu ase nnɔnhwerew aduonu anan pɛn.

Thrice, have I been beaten with rods, once, have I been stoned, thrice, have I been shipwrecked, a day and night, in the deep, have I spent;

26 Mʼakwantu ahorow mu no, mihyiaa nsuyiri ne akwamukafo. Mihuu amane wɔ Yudafo ne amanamanmufo nsam. Mihuu nkurow so amane. Mihuu wuram amane. Mihuu po so amane ne nnamfo a wɔnka nokware nsam amane.

In journeyings oft, in perils of rivers, in perils of robbers, in perils from my own race, in perils from Gentiles, in perils in the city, in perils in the desert, in perils by the sea, in perils among false brethren,

27 Mayɛ adwuma a ɛyɛ den na ɔbrɛ wɔ mu. Mpɛn pii menna. Ɔkɔm ne osukɔm dee me. Mpɛn pii minnya aduan a ɛbɛso me nni. Minnya baabi nna anaa atade nhyɛ.

in toil and hardship, in watchings, oft, in hunger and thirst, in fasting, oft, in cold and nakedness: —

28 Bere biara na mema asafo ahorow no ho nsɛm yɛ me nsɛnhia.

Apart from the things without, my daily care, —my anxiety for all the assemblies; —

29 Sɛ obi yɛ mmerɛw a ɛma me nso meyɛ mmerɛw. Sɛ obi ka ɔfoforo kɔ bɔne mu a ɛma me werɛ how.

Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is caused to stumble, and, I, am not burning?

30 Sɛ mehoahoa me ho a, na ɛsɛ sɛ mehoahoa me ho wɔ nneɛma a ɛkyerɛ me mmerɛwyɛ no mu.

If, to boast, is needful, in the things that concern my weakness, will I boast.

31 Awurade Yesu no, Onyankopɔn ne Agya no a ɛsɛ sɛ yɛkamfo no no nim sɛ merentwa nkontompo. (aiōn g165)

The God and Father of our Lord Jesus, knoweth—He who is blessed unto the ages—that I am not speaking falsely: (aiōn g165)

32 Bere a mewɔ Damasko no, Amrado a na ɔhyɛ Ɔhene Areta ase no maa awɛmfo wɛn kurow no pon pɛɛ sɛ wɔkyere me.

In Damascus, the governor under Aretas the king, was guarding the city of Damascenes, to apprehend me, —

33 Nanso wɔde me sii kɛntɛn mu twetwee me faa ɔfasu bi a apae tokuru mu de me sii fam ma miguan fii ne nsam.

And, through a window, was I let down by the wall, and escaped his hands.
