1 Peter 2
1 Therefore, having put off all evil and all deceit and hypocrisies and envies and all evil speaking,
Se poutèt sa, derasinen tout mechanste ki te nan lavi nou. Sispann bay manti, sispann fè ipokrizi, sispann fè jalouzi ak tripotaj.
2 as newborn babes, long for the genuine intellectual milk, so that ye may grow by it,
Tankou timoun ki fenk fèt, se pou nou kriye dèyè bon lèt san dekoupe ki soti nan Bondye, pou nou kapab grandi, pou nou kapab fin delivre nèt.
3 if indeed ye have tasted that the Lord is excellent.
Paske, nou deja goute Mèt la, nou wè jan li bon.
4 Coming to whom, a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but with God chosen, precious,
Pwoche vin jwenn Seyè a, li menm ki wòch vivan an. Moun te voye li jete paske pou yo li te san valè. Men, li gen anpil valè pou Bondye ki te chwazi li.
5 ye also, as living stones, are built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
Nou menm tou, tankou wòch vivan, kite Bondye sèvi ak nou pou bati kay li a ak pouvwa Sentespri, pou nou ka sèvi l' tankou prèt k'ap viv pou li. Konsa, gremesi Jezikri, n'a ofri bay Bondye ofrann ki soti nan kè nou, ofrann ki pou fè l' plezi.
6 It is therefore contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner stone, chosen, precious. And he who believes in him will, no, not be shamed.
Se poutèt sa nou jwenn sa ekri nan Liv la: Men li, mwen mete yon wòch nan mitan peyi Siyon, yon wòch kwen mwen menm mwen chwazi epi ki gen anpil valè. Moun ki mete konfyans yo nan li p'ap janm soti wont.
7 To you therefore who believe is the preciousness, but for men who disobey, A stone that the builders rejected, this became the head of the corner,
Pou nou menm ki mete konfyans nou nan wòch la, wòch la gen anpil valè. Men, pou moun ki pa mete konfyans yo nan li, sa ki ekri nan Liv la pral rive vre: Wòch moun ki t'ap bati yo te voye jete a, se li menm ki tounen wòch ki kenbe kay la.
8 and, A stone of stumbling and a rock of offense, men who stumble at the word, being disobedient, for which also they were set.
Se yon wòch k'ap fè moun bite, yon gwo wòch k'ap fè yo tonbe. Yo bite, paske yo pa koute pawòl la. Enben, se sa ki te sere pou yo.
9 But ye are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for an acquired possession, so that ye might broadly proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.
Men nou menm, nou se yon ras Bondye chwazi, yon bann prèt k'ap sèvi Wa a, yon nasyon k'ap viv apa pou Bondye, yon pèp li achte. Li fè tou sa pou n' te ka fè tout moun konnen bèl bagay Bondye te fè yo, Bondye ki rele nou soti nan fènwa a pou nou antre nan bèl limyè li a.
10 Men formerly not a people, but now are a people of God. Men who had not obtained mercy, but who now have obtained mercy.
Anvan sa, nou pa t' menm yon nasyon. Men koulye a, nou se pèp Bondye a. Anvan sa, Bondye pa t' gen pitye pou nou. Koulye a, li gen pitye pou nou.
11 Beloved, I beseech you as aliens and sojourners, to abstain from the fleshly lusts, which war against the soul.
Zanmi m' yo, men sa m'ap mande nou. M'ap pale ak nou koulye a tankou ak moun ki etranje, ki depasaj sou latè: Se pou nou kenbe tèt ak tout egzijans lachè a k'ap goumen kont nanm nou.
12 Having your behavior good among the Gentiles, so that, upon which they speak against you as evildoers, they may glorify God in the day of visitation, from having observed your good works.
Se pou nou gen yon bon kondit nan mitan moun sa yo ki pa konn Bondye. Konsa, lè y'ap pale nou mal, lè y'ap di se yon bann malfektè nou ye, y'a gen pou yo rekonèt tout byen n'ap fè a, y'a fè lwanj Bondye lè la vin jije yo.
13 Therefore because of the Lord, ye should submit to every human establishment, whether to a king as being supreme,
Soumèt devan tout otorite lèzòm etabli. Fè sa pou Bondye. Soumèt devan wa a, paske se li ki pi gwo chèf.
14 or to governors as being sent by him for vengeance of evildoers and praise of well-doers.
Soumèt devan majistra yo, paske wa a voye yo pou peni tout moun k'ap fè mal, pou fè lwanj tout moun k'ap fè byen.
15 Because this way is the will of God, doing good to muzzle the ignorance of the foolish men.
Paske, Bondye vle pou n' fè sa ki byen, pou n' ka fèmen bouch moun sa yo ki pa konn anyen, ki san konprann.
16 As free, and not having your freedom as a cover-up of evil, but as bondmen of God.
Se pou nou viv tankou moun ki gen tout libète yo. Men, nou pa dwe pran libète sa a sèvi yon kouvèti pou nou fè sa ki mal. Se pou nou viv tankou moun k'ap sèvi Bondye.
17 Respect all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Respect the king.
Se pou nou bay chak moun respè li merite. renmen tout frè nou yo, gen krentif pou Bondye, respekte wa a.
18 Household servants, submitting to the masters with all fear, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the wayward.
Nou menm domestik yo, nou fèt pou soumèt devan mèt nou yo avèk tout respè yo merite. Pa sèlman devan mèt ki bon yo, mèt ki gen bon kè yo, men devan mèt ki gen karaktè difisil yo tou.
19 For this is graciousness, if, because of consciousness of God, any man endures sorrows, suffering wrongfully.
Bondye va beni nou, si, lè y'ap fè nou soufri pou sa nou pa fè, nou sipòte lafliksyon an paske nou konnen se sa Bondye vle.
20 For what kind of credit is it, if, sinning and being beaten, ye will endure? But if, doing good and suffering, ye will endure, this is graciousness with God.
Ki lwanj ki gen nan sa si nou sipòte lè y'ap maltrete nou pou sa nou fè ki mal? Men, si lè nou fè byen, nou sipòte tou sa y'ap fè nou soufri poutèt byen nou fè a, sa se yon bèl bagay devan Bondye.
21 For ye were called for this. Because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you an example, so that ye should follow his footsteps.
Se pou sa menm Bondye te rele nou, paske Kris la te soufri pou nou. Li kite yon egzanp pou nou swiv pye pou pye.
22 Who did no sin, nor was deceit found in his mouth.
Li pa t' janm fè ankenn peche. Ankenn manti pa t' janm soti nan bouch li.
23 Who, being reviled, did not revile in return. Suffering, he did not threaten, but yielded to him who judges righteously.
Lè yo t'ap joure l', li pa t' reponn. Lè yo t'ap maltrete l', li pa t' mennase pesonn. Men, li renmèt kòz li nan men Bondye k'ap jije tout bagay san patipri.
24 Who himself took up our sins in his body upon the tree, so that we, having died to sins, might live to the righteousness of him from whose wound ye were healed.
Kris la te pote peche nou yo nan kò li sou bwa a, pou nou te kapab mouri annegad peche, pou nou te ka viv dwat devan Bondye. Li te kite yo maltrete l' pou l' te ka geri nou.
25 For ye were like sheep going astray, but now were returned to the Shepherd and Guardian of your souls.
Nou te tankou mouton ki te pèdi bann yo. Men, koulye a, nou tounen vin jwenn Kris la ki gadò nou, k'ap veye sou nanm nou.
