2 Corinthians 2
1 But I have judged this with myself, not to come back to you in grief.
Se konsa, mwen pran desizyon pou m' pa vin lakay nou pou m' pa fè nou lapenn ankò.
2 For if I grieve you, who also [is] it that gladdens me, if not he that is grieved through me?
Si pou m' ta fè nou lapenn, ki moun ki pou ta fè kè m' kontan ankò? Eske se ta moun mwen ta fè lapenn yo?
3 And I have written this very [letter] [to you], that coming I may not have grief from those from whom I ought to have joy; trusting in you all that my joy is [that] of you all.
Se poutèt sa, mwen ekri nou jan m' te fè l' la: mwen pa t' vle pou lè m' rive lakay nou, moun ki pou ta fè kè m' kontan yo, se yo menm ki pou ta fè m' lapenn. Paske, mwen gen fèm konviksyon sa a, lè m' kontan, nou tout nou kontan tou.
4 For out of much tribulation and distress of heart I wrote to you, with many tears; not that ye may be grieved, but that ye may know the love which I have very abundantly towards you.
Wi. Lè sa a, kè m' te boulvèse anpil, kè m' te sere, se ak dlo nan je mwen te ekri nou. Mwen pa t' fè sa pou fè nou lapenn non. Se vle mwen te vle fè nou konnen jan m' renmen nou anpil.
5 But if any one has grieved, he has grieved, not me, but in part (that I may not overcharge [you]) all of you.
Si yon moun fè yon lòt lapenn, se pa mwen li fè lapenn, men se nou tout, moun Korent, li fè lapenn. Pou m' pa al twò lwen, pito m' di se kèk nan nou li fè lapenn.
6 Sufficient to such a one [is] this rebuke which [has been inflicted] by the many;
Pifò nan nou gen tan peni nonm sa a, se kont li.
7 so that on the contrary ye should rather shew grace and encourage, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with excessive grief.
Koulye a se pou nou padonnen l', se pou nou ba li ankourajman pito, pou yon twò gwo lapenn pa kraze l' nèt.
8 Wherefore I exhort you to assure him of [your] love.
Se poutèt sa, m'ap mande nou pou nou aji avè l' yon jan pou fè l' wè jan nou renmen li.
9 For to this end also I have written, that I might know, by putting you to the test, if as to everything ye are obedient.
Se pou sa menm mwen te ekri nou: mwen te vle sonde nou pou m' te konnen si nou toujou soti pou nou koute tou sa m' di nou.
10 But to whom ye forgive anything, I also; for I also, what I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, [it is] for your sakes in [the] person of Christ;
Enben, lè nou menm nou padonnen yon moun pou mal li fè a, mwen menm tou mwen padonnen li. Lè mwen menm mwen padonnen li, pou di vre, mwen pa gen anyen pou m' padonnen non, men, lè m' fè sa, mwen fè l' pou nou devan Kris la,
11 that we might not have Satan get an advantage against us, for we are not ignorant of his thoughts.
pou pa bay Satan okenn avantaj sou nou. Paske nou konnen byen pwòp sa Satan gen nan tèt li.
12 Now when I came to Troas for the [publication of the] glad tidings of the Christ, a door also being opened to me in [the] Lord,
Lè mwen te lavil Twoas pou m' te anonse Bon Nouvèl ki pale sou Kris la, Seyè a te ban m' yon bèl okazyon pou m' te travay la.
13 I had no rest in my spirit at not finding Titus my brother; but bidding them adieu, I came away to Macedonia.
Men, kè m' te sere anpil, paske mwen pa t' jwenn Tit, frè nou an. Se poutèt sa mwen di moun Twoas yo orevwa, epi m' pati pou Masedwan.
14 But thanks [be] to God, who always leads us in triumph in the Christ, and makes manifest the odour of his knowledge through us in every place.
Ann di Bondye mèsi! Paske l'ap toujou mennen nou ansanm ak Kris la pou fete batay li genyen an. Li pran nou, li sèvi ak nou tankou yon odè k'ap gaye bon sant li toupatou, pou n' ka fè tout moun konnen Kris la.
15 For we are a sweet odour of Christ to God, in the saved and in those that perish:
Nou tankou yon bon lansan Kris la ap boule pou Bondye. Sant li rive nan men tout moun, kit y'ap sove, kit y'ap peri.
16 to the one an odour from death unto death, but to the others an odour from life unto life; and who [is] sufficient for these things?
Pou moun k'ap peri yo, se yon sant lanmò k'ap touye yo. Men, pou moun k'ap sove yo, se yon sant lavi k'ap ba yo lavi. Ki moun ki kapab fè yon travay konsa?
17 For we do not, as the many, make a trade of the word of God; but as of sincerity, but as of God, before God, we speak in Christ.
Nou pa tankou anpil moun k'ap defòme pawòl Bondye a. Okontrè, nou pale pawòl la jan li ye a devan Bondye, tankou moun k'ap viv nan Kris la, paske se Bondye menm ki voye nou.
