1 Emi ongwunani, i mina ani owɛ ema esɔ osuse ngwi n plɛ gbɔ nya ema ngwi ema gbɛ di kwulɛsɛ dzɛ efu nɛni. 2 Kini ema byi Esɔ Osuse ngwi ani gbɔ nya ema nɛ saan yɔ ema watɔ, kpaa ni li ngha bayɔ oyɛyɛ onuunu mgbi ema duu weeni.

3 Lubana ani nya ema esɔ ingblimɔ dafi a kye nu ani mani gbɛɛ: iKrestu kwulu ikye ali ibwubwe mgbi eyi dafi Afɛ lɔ mani, 4 a kyon ndzi, mi egbe ongwu ta ma a kyilen mi ikwu, 5 O di mblegba tu iPyita, bɛyi iwyodefa ntonani. 6 Ngwi ungwɔnɛ kyɔ nyɛ nɛ, O di mblegba tu emi iKrestu angbeka ngwu mmbwo mgbi ama ngha ideli eda ononyi, angbeka mi ele ka to oshishe ma, kpaa angbeka yɔ kwulu wa. 7 Nɛ O mblegba tu iJɛnsi di wa mblegba tu ama ogbikyon duu, 8 ongyɛɛngyɛ duu yɔ, O mblegba tu ani ngwu a mba ani mi itɔdzɛ ba nɛni.

9 Lubana ani nghao yɛyikpa mbi ama ogbikye iYesu duu, ani gbuo ngwi a ki kwu ani gbɛɛ inggisɛ ogbikye iYesu kpaa ba, ikyesinɛ ani nu emi odzimgbasho isɔ. 10 Nghaduu li mi elela mgbi Imgbasho ngwi ani yɛɛ ungwɔ ani dzɛ nɛ aani, elela mgban nɛ kyidɔ mbi ani saan. N kyidɔ ngha ma duu, li onghaangha mgbi ani ba kpaa li elela mgbi Imgbasho ndzɛ yi ani mani. 11 Ungwɔ okwukwo yɔ, ni li ani hona ama gbeesɔ kpaa ka li esɔ ma onyi ta, di li esɔ nɛ ngwi ema noyɛyɛ mi ele aani.

12 Kini eyi gbeesɔ gbɛɛ a kyile iKrestu mi ikwu waali, kyɔsinɛ ngwi ema angbeka li gbɛɛ okyɛɛ-kyɛɛ mi ikwu dzɛma ba? 13 Kini okyɛɛ mi ikwu dzɛma bayɔ, iYesu kpaa a kyilon ba. 14 Ma ni a kyile iYesu bayɔ, esɔ mgbi eyi ogbɔɔgbɔ bɛyi oyɛyɛ mgbi ema onuunu duu weeni. 15 Li ngha ta ba, a di eyi dafi obwɛndɛ ama ogbatsika mi odzimgbasho, lubana eyi gbɛɛ Imgbasho kyile iKrestu mi ikwu. Kpaa O kyilon luba, ni li otsitsi gbɛɛ a li kyile emi ikwukwɔ bayɔ. 16 Lubana ni a ka kyile emi ikwukwɔ bayɔ, iYesu kpaa a kyilon ba sewaalɔ. 17 Ma ni a kyile iKrestu bayɔ, oyɛyɛ onuunu mgbi ema weeni, ema ka woto ifu ali ibwubwe mgbi ema. 18 No li ngha yɔ, ama ngwu nuna mi ifu iKrestu kpaa a tila-tila jo. 19 No li mi itɔdzɛ nɛ ta ngwi eyi kye ɛwɛ ogbe byiibyi mgbi eyi byi mbi iKrestu yɔ, eyi yɛɛ ungwɔ elela ngha mi ɛsɛ duu.

20 Nghaduu mi otsitsi yɔ, a kyile iKrestu mi ikwu, o di li ongwovlɛ mgbi emi ikwukwɔ duu. 21 Lubana dafi ikwongye nyɛ mbi inggisɛ onyi nɛ, li ngha ngwi okyɛɛ-kyɛɛ mi ikwu kpaa nyɛ mbi inggisɛ onyi aali. 22 Bana, ngwi inggisɛ duu tu ikwongye ikpewo Adan nɛ, li ngha ngwi eyi duu ka tu oshishe ikpewo iKrestu aali. 23 Nghaduu ali inggisɛ onɔ mgban dzɛ, iKrestu li ongwovlɛ, onɔ ngwi o wa yɛ ta a ka kyile emidan. 24 Ta ɛsɛ ka ngyɛ, man o ka dzili alungwɔ duu bɛyi mfye yile esutɔ wo Imgbasho Otsɔn abɔ. 25 Lubana iKrestu ka kyuutɔ nghataa mbise o ka talu engyikyili mgban wɛɛsɛ. 26 Ongyikyili ongwi olɛlɛ o ka dzilin yɔ li ikwongye. 27 Lubana odzɛ ngwi Afɛ gbɛɛ, <<O ka gbe alungwɔ duu won abɔ nɛ kpaa.>> Imgbasho wodzɛ <<Alungwɔ duu>> na ba, ikyekyɛ li Imgbasho abɔn kye alungwɔ duu wo iKrestu abɔ aali. 28 Onɔ ngwi alungwɔ duu wokɛ abɔ mgbi ongwɛ Imgbasho ma o ka yile ewon wo Imgbasho kɛ abɔ, ikye ni Imgbasho li Ugabaidu.

29 Kini okyɛɛ mi ikwu dzɛma ba ma, ama ngwu a kyɔ ma iBatisima mi ikye emi ikwukwɔ ntona ka kyɔsinɛ? Ni inggisɛ li kyɛɛ mi ikwu ba dududu ma, kyɔnɛ a le kyɔ inggisɛ iBatisima gbikye ma? 30 Eyi ma kyɔnɛ ngwi eyi di kye onbukwɔ mgbi eyi le nu eba ali obyi duu? 31 Ani kye ewen le bɔ ikwu alegbe, li abɔ otsigɛgɛ ngwi ani sulun mbi ema mi ikye iKrestu ma nin le gbɔdzɛ nɛ ngha aani. 32 Ki ani tsiibe yi mmbwaba emi Efesu mi ɛwɛ otsɛɛtsɛ mgbi mmbwɛ yi eyi tama, li ali oyabɔ ngwi ani tu? Kpaa nu ma li kyile emi ikwukwɔ bayɔ, <<Ba ni eyi gye di wa na, ikyesinɛ ekeka i ka kwulu.>> 33 Ka nu ma kyɔ ema ikwanghewo ba, uka obube li mbe inggisɛ osuse. 34 Yile itukwu bɛsɛ di nya yi ali ibwubwe na, ikye onu ema ayiwi yɔ inggisɛ angbeka toma ngwu yama difwi Imgbasho waba.

35 Kaba inggisɛ oka ka byita gbɛɛ, <<A ka kyile emi ikwukwɔ sinɛ? A ka kyɛɛ yi ali itɔ ewo?>> 36 Ka li ikwangha ba na, etɔ ungwɔ li bwa kyɛmɛ se wa lumbye tɔ esɛ. 37 Inɛnɛ ungwɔ ngwi abu kye kya li idzidza yi mmbye nli wa lu tɔ nani. 38 Ali etɔ ungwɔ duu Imgbasho li nu ma ewo ngwi O di kpan mani. 39 Ikpewo duu li ungwonyi ba, inggisɛ sulu ikpewo idzidza, mgbi mmbwaba yi ingwunɔ bɛyi mmbweni kpaa li idzidza-dzidza. 40 Ewo emi esho to ma se ewo emi esɛ kpaa kwa to; ewo ongwi esho dzɛ yi itɔ okwɔkwɔ mgban, se ewo ongwi esɛ kwa dzɛ yi itɔ okwɔkwɔ mgban aali. 41 Onɔ dzɛ yi itɔ okwɔkwɔ mgban, ofyia kpaa dzɛ yi mgban, mcɛ kpaa to yi mgbi ama, okwɔkwɔ mgbi mcɛ angbeka kpaa di nyɛ idzidza yi angbeka.

42 Li ngha nkawa dzɛ yi okyɛɛ-kyɛɛ mi ikwu aali. Ikpewo ongwi a kye ndzi na ka bwa, kpaa ongwi a ka kyilon na ka bwa wuba gyegwu. 43 A li kye ikpewo ndzi mi mmwɛ ba, kpaa a li kyilen mi okwɔkwɔ; a li kye ndzi mi ewo odzaatsi, nghaduu a li kyile mi mfye; 44 A li ndzi mi ikpewo mgbi mmbwɛ yi eyi, a li kyilen mi ikpewo ongwi onodzi.

Kini ikpewo mgbi mmbwɛ yi eyi dzɛ yɔ, ikpewo mgbi onodzi kpaa dzɛ. 45 Li ngha ngwi a lɔ gbɛɛ, <<Adan ongwu ababɔ na li inggisɛ oshishe>> Ongwu olɛlɛ li onodzi onu oshishe aali. 46 Mgbi atta li ba ababɔ se mgbi onodzi li wa ba olɛlɛ. 47 Adan ongwu ababɔ na li mi ombulu ongwi ɛsɛ ngwi a man, kpaa ongwu fan na yɔ kyɛ mi esho. 48 Ali inggisɛ nli mgbi ɛsɛ yɔ, ewo mgban li ungwonyi yi ongwu a mɛ mi ombulu ongwi ɛsɛ nɛni. Ama nli mgbi esho yɔ, a li ungwonyi yi ongwu nkyɛ esho nani. 49 Dafi ngwi eyi kye otsonodzi mgbi inggisɛ ongwi ɛsɛ nɛ nɛ, li ngha ngwi eyi dika kye otsonodzi mgbi ongwu nkyɛ esho na aali.

50 N le nya ema emi ongwunani saan gbɛɛ, mmbwɛ yi eyi ka yagba gyokwudɛ esutɔ mgbi Imgbasho ba, hona ungwɔ odzili-dzili ka yagba gyokwudɛ ungwɔ nka dzili ba na ba. 51 Gadɔ nin nya ema ungwɔ odaada na, li eyi duu ka kwulu ba, kpaa eyi duu a ka kyata eyi. 52 Ka le vla dafi a li blinɛ nɛni, mi onɔ ngwi a ka fo agba ongwi olɛlɛ mani. Lubana agba kawa fo man a ka kyile ikpewo ama nka kwulu wuba ntonani. Ta a ka nyinɛ eyi ikye ni eyi ka kwulu wuba. 53 Ikyesinɛ ikpewo nli dzili nɛ ka kyata yɛɛ ikpewo odzili wuba, ikpewo nli kwulu nɛ ka yɛɛ ikpewo okwulu wuba. 54 Onɔ ngwi ikpewo odzili-dzili nɛ yɛɛ ikpewo odzili wuba ikpewo okwulu-kwulu kpaa yɛɛ ikpewo nka kwulu wuba ta ungwɔ ngwi a lɔ gbɛɛ, <<Onghaangha kye ikwongye mbe,>> na ka kaka yɛyɛ.

55 <<Ikwongye, onghaangha mgbi abu kɔ? Ikwongye oto-to mgbi abu ma di dzɛ ole?>> 56 Oto-to mgbi ikwongye li alobube, mfye mgbi alobube di li ola. 57 Nghaduu eyi ka ta Imgbasho angba dafi o nu eyi onghaangha mbi Otsɛ iYesu iKrestu mani.

58 Nghanɛ emi ongwunani ama okpa ani itukwu, kwudzɛ kpɔklɔɔ di kye ewema duu nu ikye idɔ mgbi otsɛ na, ikyekyɛ ema ye dafi idɔ mgbi ema ka weeni ba mani.
