1 Peter 4
1 Since, then, Christ has suffered for us in the flesh, do you also arm yourselves with the same determination; for he that has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,
Se poutèt sa, menm jan Kris la te soufri nan kò li, nou menm tou se pou nou pare pou n' soufri menm jan an tou. Paske, lè yon moun soufri nan kò li, li pa gen anyen pou l' wè ak peche ankò.
2 so that he no longer lives the rest of his time in the flesh, according to the desires of men, but according to the will of God.
Se pou li viv ti rès tan li gen pou l' viv sou tè a dapre egzijans volonte Bondye, pa dapre egzijans lachè.
3 For the time past of our life should be enough for us to have worked the will of the Gentiles, while we walked in licentiousness, lusts, drunkenness, revelings, drinkings, and unlawful idolatries.
Paske, nan tan lontan, nou te gen kont tan nou pou n' te fè tou sa moun ki pa konnen Bondye yo ap fè. Lè sa a, nou t'ap viv nan libètinaj, nan lanvi, nan bwè tafya, nan debòch, nan banbòch, nan sèvi zidòl, bagay lalwa defann nou fè.
4 They are amazed at this―that you run not with them into the same excess of debauchery, and they revile you.
Koulye a, moun sa yo twouve sa dwòl dèske nou pa fè bann ak yo ankò nan tout eksè sa yo. Se poutèt sa, y'ap pale nou mal.
5 These shall give an account to him that is ready to judge the living and the dead.
Men, yo gen pou yo rann kont bay Bondye ki deja pare pou jije ni moun ki vivan yo ni moun ki mouri yo.
6 For this cause, indeed, even those who have died had the gospel preached to them, that though they might be judged according to the will of men in the flesh, yet they might live according to the will of God in the spirit.
Se pou sa menm yo te anonse bon nouvèl la bay moun ki mouri yo. Konsa, si lè yo te sou latè yo te tonbe anba jijman Bondye tankou tout moun, koulye a yo ka viv nan pouvwa Lespri Bondye a, jan Bondye vle l' la.
7 But the end of all things is at hand; be sober-minded, therefore, and watchful, that you may pray.
Tout bagay prèt pou fini. Se pou nou kenbe tèt nou anplas, veye kò nou pou n' ka lapriyè.
8 But, above all things, have fervent love one for another; for love will cover a multitude of sins.
Anvan tout bagay, se pou nou yonn renmen lòt anpil. Paske, lè nou renmen, sa fè Bondye padonnen anpil peche.
9 Be hospitable, one to another, without murmuring.
Se pou nou yonn resevwa lòt lakay nou san plenyen.
10 As each has received a gift, minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
Chak moun dwe pran kado Bondye ba yo a pou yo rann lòt yo sèvis. Konsa, tankou bon jeran, n'a pran kado Bondye yo, ki divès kalite, n'a fè yo travay.
11 If any man speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God: if any man acts as a deacon, let him do this as from the strength which God supplies; that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory and strength from age to age. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Si yon moun ap pale, se pou l' pale tankou si se te pawòl Bondye li t'ap di. Si yon moun ap rann sèvis, se pou li fè l' ak fòs Bondye ba li. Konsa, nan tout bagay lwanj lan va pou Bondye, gremesi Jezikri. Se pou Jezikri tout lwanj ak tout pouvwa pou tout tan. Amèn. (aiōn g165)
12 Beloved, be not amazed at the fiery trial that has come on you to try you, as if some strange thing had happened to you.
Frè m' yo, nou pa bezwen sezi devan gwo eprèv sa yo k'ap tonbe sou nou tankou yon gwo dife. Nou pa bezwen konprann sa se yon bagay estwòdenè k'ap rive nou la a.
13 But, inasmuch as you are partakers of the sufferings of the Christ, rejoice, that, at the revelation of his glory, you may also be exceedingly joyful.
Okontrè, fè kè n' kontan. Paske, menm jan nou patisipe nan soufrans Kris yo, konsa tou n'a kontan nèt ale lè gwo pouvwa Kris la va parèt.
14 If you are reproached on account of Christ, happy are you: for the glorious Spirit of God rests upon you. On their part he is reviled, but on your part he is glorified:
Si yo joure nou paske n'ap swiv Kris la, konsidere sa tankou yon benediksyon. Paske, Lespri ki gen gwo pouvwa a, Lespri Bondye a nan nou.
15 for no one of you should suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil-doer, or as a busybody in other men’s matters.
Mwen swete pou pesonn nan nou pa gen pou li soufri paske li te touye moun, osinon paske li te fè sa ki mal, osinon paske li te foure bouch li nan zafè ki pa gade li.
16 But if any one suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God on this account.
Men, si yon moun ap soufri paske se kretyen li ye, li pa bezwen wont pou sa. Okontrè, se pou li fè lwanj Bondye dèske li pote non Kris la.
17 For the time has come that judgment must begin at the house of God; and if it begin first at us, what shall be the end of those who obey not the gospel of God?
Paske, dat la rive pou jijman Bondye a konmanse. L'ap konmanse ak moun ki nan kay Bondye a anvan. Si li konmanse ak nou, nou pa bezwen mande sak pral rive moun sa yo ki pa koute bon nouvèl Bondye a.
18 And if the righteous man is hardly saved, where shall the ungodly man and the sinner appear?
Tankou sa ekri nan Liv la: Si moun k'ap viv dwat devan Bondye yo pa fasil pou sove, nou pa bezwen mande sa k'ap rive moun ki pa kwè nan Bondye yo, moun k'ap viv nan peche yo.
19 Wherefore, let those also who suffer according to the will of God, by doing good, commit their souls to him as to a faithful Creator.
Se poutèt sa, moun k'ap soufri paske se sa Bondye vle pou yo a, se pou yo pa sispann fè sa ki byen, se pou yo renmèt nanm yo nan men Bondye ki kreye yo, epi ki p'ap lage yo.
