2 Corinthians 7
1 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of the flesh and of the spirit, perfecting sactification in the fear of God.
Mezanmi, se pou nou wi Bondye te fè tout pwomès sa yo. Ann kenbe kò nou ak nanm nou nan kondisyon pou n' sèvi Bondye! Ann voye tout bagay ki ka wete nou nan kondisyon sa a jete! Ann chache viv apa pou Bondye! Ann viv nan krentif li!
2 Receive us. We have injured no man, we have corrupted no man, we have overreached no man.
Tanpri, ban m' yon ti plas nan kè nou! (Konprann mwen byen). Mwen pa fè pesonn okenn mal, pesonn pa ka di mwen lakòz yo pèdi pozisyon yo. Pesonn pa ka di mwen pwofite sou yo.
3 I speak not this to your condemnation. For we have said before, that you are in our hearts, to die together, and to live together.
Mwen pa di nou sa pou kondannen nou. Mwen deja di nou sa: sitèlman mwen renmen nou, mwen pote nou sou kè mwen pou lavi ak pou lanmò.
4 Great is my confidence for you, great is my glorying for you. I am filled with comfort: I exceedingly abound with joy in all our tribulation.
Mwen gen anpil konfyans nan nou, mwen kontan nou anpil. Nan mitan tout soufrans mwen yo, mwen toujou gen anpil kouraj, kè m' kontan nèt.
5 For also when we were come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we suffered all tribulation; combats without, fears within.
Se konsa, depi mwen te rive nan peyi Masedwan, kè m' pa t' poze menm: mwen jwenn traka tout jan. Yon bò mwen te nan gwo diskisyon ak kèk moun, yon lòt bò mwen te pè nan kè mwen.
6 But God, who comforteth the humble, comforted us by the coming of Titus.
Men, Bondye ki bay moun ki nan lafliksyon yo kouraj te ban m' kouraj lè l' te voye Tit vin jwenn mwen.
7 And not by his coming only, but also by the consolation, wherewith he was comforted in you, relating to us your desire, your mourning, your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced the more.
Se pa rive Tit la ase ki te ankouraje mwen. Sa te remoute kouraj mwen anpil tou lè li rakonte m' jan nou menm nou te ba li ankourajman. Li fè m' konnen jan nou anvi wè m', jan sa fè nou lapenn pou mwen, jan nou pare pou nou pran defans mwen. Se sak fè, koulye a mwen pi kontan toujou.
8 For although I made you sorrowful by my epistle, I do not repent; and if I did repent, seeing that the same epistle (although but for a time) did make you sorrowful;
Menm si lèt mwen te ekri nou an te fè nou lapenn, mwen pa règrèt sa. Mwen te regrèt mwen te ekri l' lè m' te wè jan l' te fè nou lapenn lè sa a.
9 Now I am glad: not because you were made sorrowful; but because you were made sorrowful unto penance. For you were made sorrowful according to God, that you might suffer damage by us in nothing.
Men koulye a, kè m' kontan, pa paske mwen te fè nou lapenn, men paske lapenn nou te genyen an te fè nou chanje kondit. Nou te sipòte lapenn sa a jan Bondye vle l' la. Se konsa mwen pa fè nou okenn mal.
10 For the sorrow that is according to God worketh penance, steadfast unto salvation; but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
Paske, lè yon moun sipòte lapenn li jan Bondye vle l' la, sa chanje kè li pou l' ka rive sove. Pa gen anyen la a pou n' règrèt. Men, lapenn nou sipòte jan tout moun fè l' la, se touye l'ap touye nou.
11 For behold this selfsame thing, that you were made sorrowful according to God, how great carefulness it worketh in you; yea defence, yea indignation, yea fear, yea desire, yea zeal, yea revenge: in all things you have shewed yourselves to be undefiled in the matter.
Nou menm, nou sipòte lapenn nou an jan Bondye vle l' la. Koulye a, gade sa l' fè pou nou! Gade ki jan li fè nou pran sitiyasyon an pou bagay serye! Gade ak ki lanpresman nou soti pou defann tèt nou? Gade jan n' te fache! Gade jan n' te pè! Gade jan nou anvi wè m' ankò! Gade jan nou aktif, jan nou prese peni moun ki te fè sa ki mal la! Nou moutre nou pa t' koupab nan tout bagay sa yo.
12 Wherefore although I wrote to you, it was not for his sake that I did the wrong, nor for him that suffered it; but to manifest our carefulness that we have for you
Se pa pou moun ki te fè sa ki mal la, ni pou moun yo te fè mal la mwen te ekri nou. Mwen ekri nou pou n' te ka wè jan nou devwe pou mwen devan Bondye. Se poutèt sa, sa te ban m' anpil ankourajman.
13 Before God: therefore we were comforted. But in our consolation, we did the more abundantly rejoice for the joy of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all.
Se pa ankouraje sèlman mwen te ankouraje. Mwen te pi kontan ankò lè m' wè kouman Tit te kontan pou jan nou te ba li ankourajman.
14 And if I have boasted any thing to him of you, I have not been put to shame; but as we have spoken all things to you in truth, so also our boasting that was made to Titus is found a truth.
Mwen te pale byen pou nou anpil ak Tit, epi nou pa fè m' wont. Mwen pa janm ban nou manti lè m'ap pale ak nou. Se konsa, sa m' te di Tit sou nou an se te verite a tout bon.
15 And his bowels are more abundantly towards you; remembering the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling you have received him.
Koulye a, li vin renmen nou plis toujou lè l' chonje jan nou tout nou te dispoze obeyi, jan nou te resevwa l' avèk krentif sitèlman nou t'ap tranble.
16 I rejoice that in all things I have confidence in you.
Mwen kontan nèt mwen ka toujou konte sou nou.
