1 Peter 2
1 Wherefore laying away all malice, and all guile, and dissimulations, and envies, and all detractions,
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, desire the rational milk without guile, that thereby you may grow unto salvation:
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 so be you have tasted that the Lord is sweet.
Paske, nou deja goute Mèt la, nou wè jan li bon.
4 Unto whom coming, as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen and made honourable by God:
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 Be you also as living stones built up, a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by 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 Wherefore it is said in the scripture: Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious. And he that shall believe in him, shall not be confounded.
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 that believe, he is honour: but to them that believe not, the stone which the builders rejected, the same is made 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 scandal, to them who stumble at the word, neither do believe, whereunto also they are 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 you are a chosen generation, a kingly priesthood, a holy nation, a purchased people: that you may declare his virtues, who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous 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 Who in time past were not a people: but are now the people of God. Who had not obtained mercy; but 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 Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, to refrain yourselves from carnal desires 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 conversation good among the Gentiles: that whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may, by the good works, which they shall behold in you, glorify God in the day of visitation.
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 Be ye subject therefore to every human creature for God’s sake: whether it be to the king as excelling;
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 sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of the good:
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 For so is the will of God, that by doing well you may put to silence the ignorance of 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 as making liberty a cloak for malice, but as the servants 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 Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.
Se pou nou bay chak moun respè li merite. renmen tout frè nou yo, gen krentif pou Bondye, respekte wa a.
18 Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.
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 thankworthy, if for conscience towards God, a man endure 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 glory is it, if committing sin, and being buffeted for it, you endure? But if doing well you suffer patiently; this is thankworthy before 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 unto this are you called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you an example that you should follow his steps.
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, neither was guile found in his mouth.
Li pa t' janm fè ankenn peche. Ankenn manti pa t' janm soti nan bouch li.
23 Who, when he was reviled, did not revile: when he suffered, he threatened not: but delivered himself to him that judged him unjustly.
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 his own self bore our sins in his body upon the tree: that we, being dead to sins, should live to justice: by whose stripes you 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 you were as sheep going astray; but you are now converted to the shepherd and bishop 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.
