2 Corinthians 5
1 For we know that if the earthly house of our tent is dissolved, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, consummate (aiōnios g166), in the heavens.
Wi, nou konnen lè kò nou gen sou latè a va demoli tankou yon kay, Bondye sere yon lòt kay nan syèl la, yon kay byen solid k'ap la pou tout tan. Se li menm menm k'ap bati kay sa a pou nou. (aiōnios g166)
2 For most certainly in this we groan, longing to be clothed with our habitation which is from heaven,
Koulye a m'ap plenn anpil, sitèlman m' anvi antre nan kay mwen gen nan syèl la.
3 if indeed being clothed, we will not be found naked.
Konsa, lè m'a antre ladan l', yo p'ap jwenn mwen toutouni.
4 For indeed we who are in this tent do groan, being burdened, not that we desire to be unclothed, but that we desire to be clothed, that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.
Wi, toutotan m'ap viv nan kò mwen gen sou latè a, m'ap plenn tankou moun ki anba yon chay. Sa pa vle di mwen ta renmen wete kò sa a sou mwen. Men, mwen ta renmen pito mete kò mwen gen nan syèl la sou mwen. Se konsa, tou sa ki gen pou mouri nan nou pral disparèt nan lavi.
5 Now he who made us for this very thing is God, who also gave to us the down payment of the Spirit.
Se Bondye menm ki pare nou pou chanjman sa a. Li ban nou Sentespri l' tankou yon garanti pou tout byen li sere pou nou yo.
6 Therefore we are always confident and know that while we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord;
Se pou sa, nou toujou gen gwo kouraj. Nou konnen toutotan nou nan kò sa a nou lwen Seyè a toujou.
7 for we walk by faith, not by sight.
Si n'ap mache, se pa paske nou wè tout bagay klè, men se paske nou gen konfyans nan Kris la.
8 We are courageous, I say, and are willing rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord.
Nou gen gwo kouraj epi nou ta pito kite kò sa a pou n' al rete toupre Seyè a.
9 Therefore also we make it our aim, whether at home or absent, to be well pleasing to him.
Men, anvan tout bagay, nou vle fè Seyè a plezi, kit nou nan kò sa a, kit nou kite li.
10 For we must all be revealed before the judgment seat of Christ that each one may receive the things in the body according to what he has done, whether good or bad.
Paske, nou tout nou gen pou n' konparèt devan Kris la pou li ka jije nou. Lè sa a, chak moun va resevwa sa ki pou li dapre byen osinon dapre mal li te fè antan l' te nan kò sa a.
11 Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord, we persuade men, but we are revealed to God, and I hope that we are revealed also in your consciences.
Mwen konnen sa ki rele gen krentif pou Bondye, se poutèt sa m'ap chache mennen lèzòm vin kwè nan sa m'ap di. Bondye pou tèt pa l' gen tan konnen m' nèt. Mwen ta swete nou menm nan fon kè nou, nou konnen m' tou.
12 For we are not commending ourselves to you again, but speak as giving you occasion of boasting on our behalf, that you may have something to answer those who boast in appearance and not in heart.
Pa mete nan lide nou mwen vin pale nou byen sou tèt mwen ankò. Men, mwen ta renmen ban nou okazyon pou nou kontan m' anpil, pou nou ka jwenn repons pou nou bay moun ki pa gen bon kalite nan kè yo tout bon, men k'ap fè grandizè pou bagay ki gen bèl aparans.
13 For if we are beside ourselves, it is for God. Or if we are of sober mind, it is for you.
Si jan yo di l' la mwen fou, se pou Bondye mwen fou. Men, si mwen gen tout bon sans mwen, se pou nou menm, moun Korent, mwen konsa.
14 For the love of Christ compels us; because we judge thus: that one died for all, therefore all died.
Paske, se kalite renmen Kris la gen pou nou an k'ap dirije m': mwen gen konviksyon sa a, si yon sèl moun te mouri pou tout lòt yo, sa vle di tout lòt yo mouri ansanm avè li.
15 He died for all, that those who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who for their sakes died and rose again.
Li mouri pou tout moun. Konsa, moun k'ap viv yo p'ap viv pou tèt pa yo ankò, men y'ap viv pou moun ki te mouri epi ki te leve soti vivan nan lanmò pou yo a.
16 Therefore we know no one according to the flesh from now on. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know him so no more.
Se poutèt sa, depi koulye a, mwen pa konsidere pesonn sou laparans, tankou lèzòm fè l' la. Si yon lè mwen te konsidere Kris la sou laparans tankou lèzòm fè l' la, koulye a mwen pa konnen l' nan jan sa a ankò.
17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new.
Si yon moun ap viv nan Kris la, li vin yon lòt moun. Bagay lontan yo disparèt, se lòt bagay nèf ki pran plas yo koulye a.
18 But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ, and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation;
Tou sa soti nan Bondye ki fè nou vin zanmi avè l' ankò, gremesi Kris la. Se li menm tou ki fè m' konfyans, ki ban m' travay sa a pou mennen lèzòm vini byen avè l' ankò.
19 namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not reckoning to them their trespasses, and having committed to us the word of reconciliation.
Paske nan Kris la, Bondye t'ap fè tou sa li te kapab pou fè moun vin byen avè l' ankò. Li pa t' gade sou peche lèzòm te fè. Se li menm ki mete mwen la pou fè lèzòm konnen ki jan l'ap fè yo byen avè l' ankò.
20 We are therefore ambassadors on behalf of Christ, as though God were entreating by us: we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.
Se sak fè mwen pale nan non Kris la menm ki te voye m', tankou si se Bondye menm k'ap pale nan bouch mwen pou di nou: tanpri, nan non Kris la, tounen vin byen ak Bondye ankò.
21 For him who knew no sin he made to be sin on our behalf, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
Kris la pa t' janm fè okenn peche, men Bondye fè l' pran sò nou sou li, yo trete l' tankou yon moun ki fè peche. Konsa, lè nou fè yon sèl kò ak Kris la, Bondye fè nou gras.
