2 Corinthians 1
1 Paul, apostle of Jesus Christ by God's will, and the brother Timotheus, to the assembly of God which is in Corinth, with all the saints who are in the whole of Achaia.
Paul, yon apot Kris Jésus pa volonte Bondye, e Timothée, frè nou, a legliz Bondye ki nan Corinthe lan, avèk tout sen ki toupatou nan vil Achaïe yo:
2 Grace to you, and peace from God our Father, and [the] Lord Jesus Christ.
Lagras avèk nou ak lapè ki sòti nan Bondye, Papa nou an, ak Senyè a Jésus Kri.
3 Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassions, and God of all encouragement;
Beni se Bondye ak Papa a Senyè nou an Jésus Kri, Papa a mizerikòd yo, e Bondye a tout rekonfò yo;
4 who encourages us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to encourage those who are in any tribulation whatever, through the encouragement with which we ourselves are encouraged of God.
ki rekonfòte nou nan tout afliksyon nou yo pou nou kapab rekonfòte sila ki nan nenpòt afliksyon avèk menm rekonfò ke nou menm te rekonfòte pa Bondye a.
5 Because, even as the sufferings of the Christ abound towards us, so through the Christ does our encouragement also abound.
Paske menm jan ke soufrans a Kris yo se pou nou an abondans, konsa tou rekonfò nou an abondans atravè Kris la.
6 But whether we are in tribulation, [it is] for your encouragement and salvation, wrought in the endurance of the same sufferings which we also suffer,
Men si nou aflije, se pou rekonfò ak sali de nou menm. Si nou rekonfòte, se pou rekonfò pa nou, ki efikas pou nou ka sipòte avèk pasyans, menm soufrans ke nou menm isit la ap soufri yo tou.
7 (and our hope for you [is] sure; ) or whether we are encouraged, [it is] for your encouragement and salvation: knowing that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so also of the encouragement.
Konsa, espwa nou pou ou tout fonde byen fèm paske nou konnen menm jan ke ou pataje soufrans nou yo avèk nou, ou menm tou ap pataje rekonfò nou yo.
8 For we do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, as to our tribulation which happened [to us] in Asia, that we were excessively pressed beyond [our] power, so as to despair even of living.
Paske nou pa vle nou inyoran, frè m yo, de afliksyon ki te vini sou nou an Asie yo, ke nou te peze anpil anpil, menm depase fòs nou, pou nou te kab menm vin dezespere de lavi nou.
9 But we ourselves had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not have our trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead;
Vrèman, nou te gen yon kondanasyon lanmò anndan nou, pou nou pa mete konfyans nan tèt nou, men nan Bondye ki fè mò yo leve a,
10 who has delivered us from so great a death, and does deliver; in whom we confide that he will also yet deliver;
ki te delivre nou soti de yon si gran danje lanmò, e Li va delivre nou. Se sou Li menm nou te mete tout espwa nou an. Epi Li va toujou delivre nou;
11 ye also labouring together by supplication for us that the gift towards us, through means of many persons, may be the subject of the thanksgiving of many for us.
nou osi ki jwenn avèk nou menm nan lapriyè, pou remèsiman kapab bay pa anpil moun pou nou, pou gras ke nou resevwa atravè priyè anpil moun.
12 For our boasting is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and sincerity before God, (not in fleshly wisdom but in God's grace, ) we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly towards you.
Paske konfyans fyète nou an se sa; temwayaj konsyans nou, ke nan sentete avèk senserite anvè Bondye, pa nan sajès lachè men nan gras Bondye a, nou kondwi tèt nou nan mond lan, e sitou vè nou menm.
13 For we do not write other things to you but what ye well know and recognise; and I hope that ye will recognise to the end,
Paske nou pa ekri okenn lòt bagay bannou, sof ke sa nou kapab li ak konprann, e m espere ke nou va konprann jiska lafen.
14 even as also ye have recognised us in part, that we are your boast, even as ye [are] ours in the day of the Lord Jesus.
Menm jan ou te osi konprann nou nan yon pati a, ke ou se rezon fyète nou nan jou a Senyè nou an Jésus, menm jan tou ke ou se rezon fyète pa nou an.
15 And with this confidence I purposed to come to you previously, that ye might have a second favour;
Epi premyèman, se te nan konfyans sila ke m te gen entansyon pou vin kote nou an, pou nou ta kapab resevwa yon benediksyon doub.
16 and to pass through to Macedonia by you, and again from Macedonia to come to you, and to be set forward by you to Judaea.
Sa vle di, pou pase kote nou nan antre Macédoine, e osi nan soti Macédoine pou m vin kote nou, pou nou ta kapab ede m nan vwayaj mwen pou rive Judée.
17 Having therefore this purpose, did I then use lightness? Or what I purpose, do I purpose according to flesh, that there should be with me yea yea, and nay nay?
Konsa, èske m te varye lè m te fè nou konnen entansyon sa a? Oswa sa ke m te propoze a, èske m te propoze li selon lachè? Konsa, li ta sanble wi e non ansanm k ap di nan menm lè a?
18 Now God [is] faithful, that our word to you is not yea and nay.
Men jan Bondye fidèl la, pawòl nou anvè ou menm se pa wi avèk non ansanm.
19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, he who has been preached by us among you (by me and Silvanus and Timotheus), did not become yea and nay, but yea is in him.
Paske Fis Bondye a, Kris Jésus, ki te preche pami nou an, pa nou menm—mwen, Silvain, ak Timothée—pa t di wi e non, men te gen wi sèlman nan Li menm.
20 For whatever promises of God [there are], in him is the yea, and in him the amen, for glory to God by us.
Paske malgre fòs kantite pwomès Bondye yo kon bay, nan Li menm, pwomès yo se “wi”; konsa tou, pa Li menm tou, nou di “Amèn” pou laglwa Bondye atravè nou menm.
21 Now he that establishes us with you in Christ, and has anointed us, [is] God,
Koulye a, Sila ki etabli nou avèk ou menm an Kris, epi ki te onksyone nou, se Bondye.
22 who also has sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.
Se Li ki te mete so Li sou nou e te bannou Lespri a nan kè nou kòm yon pwomès.
23 But I call God to witness upon my soul that to spare you I have not yet come to Corinth.
Men mwen rele Bondye kòm temwen nanm mwen, ke se sèl pou m fè nou gras, m pa t vin Corinthe ankò.
24 Not that we rule over your faith, but are fellow-workmen of your joy: for by faith ye stand.
Se pa ke nou menm ta domine fwa pa nou, men se ouvriye nou ye ansanm avèk ou pou lajwa ou. Paske nan lafwa a, ou deja kanpe fèm.
