1 Corinthians 3
1 And I, brothers, could not speak to you as to spiritual, but as to carnal, as to the childlike in Christ.
Men, frè m' yo, pou di vre, mwen pa t' kapab pale ak nou tankou ak moun ki gen Lespri Bondye a nan kè yo. Mwen te blije pale ak nou tankou ak moun k'ap viv dapre lide ki nan lèmonn, tankou ak moun ki timoun toujou nan konfyans yo nan Kris la.
2 I gave you milk to drink and not solid food, for ye were not yet able. But not even yet are ye able,
Mwen te blije moutre nou ti bagay tou senp, tankou lè yo bay timoun piti lèt, yo pa ba yo gwo manje. Paske nou pa t' ankò pare pou sa. Ata koulye a, nou poko pare.
3 for ye are still carnal. For whereas among you is envy and strife and divisions, are ye not carnal and walk according to man?
Paske n'ap viv tankou moun k'ap viv dapre lide ki nan lemonn toujou. Depi ou tande gen jalouzi nan mitan nou, depi nou gen kont yonn ak lòt, nou tou wè se moun lemonn nou ye, se tankou moun k'ap viv dapre lide ki nan lemonn lan n'ap viv.
4 For while one may say, I am of Paul, and another, I am of Apollos, are ye not carnal?
Lè yonn rete li di: Mwen menm, mwen se moun Pòl; yon lòt: Mwen se moun Apolòs, èske se pa tankou moun lemonn n'ap pale?
5 Who therefore is Paul and who is Apollos? But rather helpers through whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to each man.
Lè ou gade byen, ki moun ki Apolòs la? Ki moun ki Pòl la? Nou tou de se sèvitè Bondye nou ye. N'ap travay pou nou menm, moun Korent yo, nou te ka rive kwè. Chak moun te fè travay Mèt la te ba l' fè.
6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God caused growth.
Mwen plante, Apolòs wouze, men se Bondye ki fè plant lan pouse.
7 So then neither is he who plants anything, nor he who waters, but God who causes growth.
Konsa, moun ki plante a pa anyen, moun ki wouze a pa anyen tou. Se Bondye ki tout bagay la, se li menm ki fè plant lan pouse.
8 Now he who plants and he who waters are one, but each man will receive his own payment according to his own labor.
Moun ki plante a ak moun ki wouze a, se menm bagay yo ye. Bondye va ba yo sa yo merite dapre travay yo fè.
9 For we are co-workmen of God. Ye are a tillage of God, an edifice of God.
Apolòs ak mwen, se travay n'ap travay ansanm pou Bondye. Nou menm, moun Korent yo, nou se tankou yon jaden Bondye bay travay pou li. Ou ankò, nou se yon kay Bondye ap bati.
10 According to the grace of God that was given to me, as a wise master builder, I laid a foundation and another man is building on it. But let each man take heed how he is building on it.
Dapre favè Bondye te fè m' lan, mwen travay tankou yon bon enjenyè, mwen poze fondasyon an. Yon lòt ap bati sou li. Men, se pou chak moun veye kò yo pou yo konnen ki jan y'ap bati.
11 For no man can lay another foundation besides that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
Paske fondasyon an deja la: se Jezikri. Pesonn pa ka poze yon lòt.
12 And if any man builds upon this foundation, gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw,
Gen moun k'ap sevi ak lò, osinon ak lajan, osinon ak bèl wòch ki koute chè pou bati sou fondasyon an. Gen lòt menm k'ap sèvi ak bwa, ak zèb chèch, ak pay.
13 each man's work will become manifest. For the day will make it known, because it is revealed by fire. And the fire will test each man's work of what kind it is.
Men, se jou jijman an n'a wè ki kalite travay chak moun te bay. Se jou sa a ki va devwale kalite travay chak moun te fè. Paske jou sa a, se nan mitan dife l'ap parèt. Dife a pral sonde travay chak moun. L'ap fè wè kalite travay yo.
14 If any man's work that he built on will remain, he will receive benefit.
Si dife a pa boule travay yon moun bati sou fondasyon an, moun sa a ap resevwa rekonpans li.
15 If any man's work will be burned, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, but so as through fire.
Men tou, si dife a boule travay yon moun, moun sa a ap pèdi travay li. Men li menm, l'ap sove, tankou yon moun ki chape nan yon kay k'ap boule.
16 Know ye not that ye are a temple of God and the Spirit of God dwells in you?
Eske nou pa konnen se tanp Bondye a nou ye, se Lespri Bondye a ki rete nan kè nou?
17 If any man destroys the temple of God, God will destroy this man, for the temple of God is holy, which ye are.
Enben, si yon moun kraze tanp Bondye a, Bondye ap kraze l' tou. Paske tanp Bondye a se yon bagay ki apa pou li. Se nou menm ki tanp Bondye a.
18 Let not one man deceive himself. If any man among you seems to be wise in this age, let him become foolish so that he may become wise. (aiōn g165)
Piga pesonn twonpe tèt yo. Si yon moun mete nan lide l' li gen bon konprann tankou moun k'ap viv dapre lide ki nan lemonn yo, pito li vin fou pou l' ka gen bon konprann tout bon. (aiōn g165)
19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness before God. For it is written, He who catches the wise in their craftiness,
Paske, bon konprann moun k'ap viv dapre lide ki nan lemonn yo se bagay moun fou li ye devan Bondye. Men sa n' jwenn ekri nan Liv la: Bondye pran moun lespri yo nan pwòp pèlen yo te tann lan.
20 and again, The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise that they are vain.
Nou jwenn sa ekri tou: Bondye konnen lide moun save yo mete nan tèt yo, li konnen tou sa pa vo anyen.
21 Therefore let not one man boast in men. For all things are yours,
Konsa, pesonn pa dwe chache lwanj pou tèt pa yo nan sa moun ka fè. Pou nou menm, tout bagay se pou nou yo ye.
22 whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things coming, all are yours,
Ni Pòl, ni Apolòs, ni Pyè, ni tou sa ki sou latè, se pou nou yo ye. Lavi, lanmò, bagay ki la koulye a, bagay ki gen pou vini, tou sa se pou nou yo ye tou.
23 and ye are Christ's, and Christ is God's.
Men nou menm, se pou Kris la nou ye. Kris la menm, se pou Bondye.
