2 Corinthians 5
1 For we know, if our earthly house of this habitation be dissolved, that we have a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in heaven. (aiōnios g166)
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 in this also we groan, desiring to be clothed upon with our habitation that is from heaven.
Koulye a m'ap plenn anpil, sitèlman m' anvi antre nan kay mwen gen nan syèl la.
3 Yet so that we be found clothed, not naked.
Konsa, lè m'a antre ladan l', yo p'ap jwenn mwen toutouni.
4 For we also, who are in this tabernacle, do groan, being burthened; because we would not be unclothed, but clothed upon, that that which 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 that maketh us for this very thing, is God, who hath given us the pledge 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 having always confidence, knowing that, while we are 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, and 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 But we are confident, and have a good will to be absent rather from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
Nou gen gwo kouraj epi nou ta pito kite kò sa a pou n' al rete toupre Seyè a.
9 And therefore we labour, whether absent or present, to please 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 manifested before the judgement seat of Christ, that every one may receive the proper things of the body, according as he hath done, whether it be good or evil.
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 use persuasion to men; but to God we are manifest. And I trust also that in your consciences we are manifest.
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 We commend not ourselves again to you, but give you occasion to glory in our behalf; that you may have somewhat to answer them who glory in face, 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 whether we be transported in mind, it is to God; or whether we be sober, 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 charity of Christ presseth us: judging this, that if one died for all, then all were dead.
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 And Christ died for all; that they also who live, may not now live to themselves, but unto him who died for them, 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 Wherefore henceforth, we know no man according to the flesh. And if we have known Christ according to the flesh; but now we know him so no longer.
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 If then any be in Christ a new creature, the old things are passed away, behold all things are made 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 hath reconciled us to himself by Christ; and hath given 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 For God indeed was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, not imputing to them their sins; and he hath placed in 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 For Christ therefore we are ambassadors, God as it were exhorting by us. For Christ, we beseech you, 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 Him, who knew no sin, he hath made sin for us, that we might be made the justice of God in him.
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.
