2 Corinthians 10
1 Nowe I Paul my selfe beseech you by the meekenes, and gentlenes of Christ, which when I am present among you am base, but am bolde toward you being absent:
Koulye a, mwen menm Paul, mwen ankouraje nou pa imilite ak dousè a Kris la—mwen menm ki enb lè mwen fasafas avèk nou, men plen ak kouraj anvè nou lè m absan!
2 And this I require you, that I neede not to be bolde when I am present, with that same confidence, wherewith I thinke to bee bolde against some, which esteeme vs as though wee walked according to the flesh.
Mwen mande ke lè m prezan ke m p ap oblije vin parèt ak menm fòs kouraj la pou mwen ta vin advèsè kèk moun ki konsidere nou tankou moun ki te mache selon lachè.
3 Neuerthelesse, though wee walke in the flesh, yet we doe not warre after the flesh.
Paske malgre ke n ap mache nan lachè, nou pa fè lagè selon lachè,
4 (For the weapons of our warrefare are not carnall, but mightie through God, to cast downe holdes)
paske zam lagè nou yo pa nan lachè, men ranpli ak pwisans Bondye pou detwi barikad yo.
5 Casting downe the imaginations, and euery high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captiuitie euery thought to the obedience of Christ,
N ap detwi tout sipozisyon avèk tout ògèy ki vin leve kont konesans Bondye a, e nou ap mennen tout panse kaptif yo nan obeyisans a Kris la.
6 And hauing ready the vengeance against all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.
Konsa, nou prè pou pini tout dezobeyisans, lè obeyisans nou an fin ranpli.
7 Looke yee on things after the appearance? If any man trust in himselfe that hee is Christes, let him consider this againe of himself, that as he is Christes, euen so are we Christes.
Nou menm ap gade bagay yo kòmsi, pa deyò. Si nenpòt moun gen konfyans nan tèt li ke li pou Kris, kite li konsidere sa ankò nan lespri li, ke menm jan li nan Kris la nou menm osi, nou nan Li.
8 For though I shoulde boast somewhat more of our authoritie, which the Lord hath giuen vs for edification, and not for your destruction, I should haue no shame.
Paske menm si m ta vante tèt mwen yon ti kras anplis pou otorite nou ke Senyè a te bay pou bati nou menm e pa pou detwi nou, mwen p ap wont.
9 This I say, that I may not seeme as it were to feare you with letters.
Paske mwen pa vle li sanble ke m ta entimide nou pa lèt mwen yo.
10 For the letters, sayeth hee, are sore and strong, but his bodily presence is weake, and his speache is of no value.
Paske, yo di: “Lèt li yo lou e dyanm, men prezans pèsonèl li pa enpresyonan ditou, e jan li pale vrèman meprizab.”
11 Let such one thinke this, that such as wee are in woorde by letters, when we are absent, such wil we be also in deede, when we are present.
Kite yon moun konsa konsidere sa; ke sa nou ye nan lèt nou yo lè nou absan, se menm moun nan ke nou ye nan aksyon lè nou la.
12 For wee dare not make our selues of the nomber, or to compare our selues to them, which praise themselues: but they vnderstand not that they measure themselues with themselues, and compare themselues with themselues.
Paske nou p ap tante sèvi kouraj nou pou konpare oswa klase nou menm avèk kèk nan sila ki rekòmande tèt yo. Men lè yo mezire tèt yo ak yo menm e konpare tèt yo avèk yo menm, yo san konprann.
13 But we wil not reioyce of things, which are not within our measure, but according to the measure of the line, whereof God hath distributed vnto vs a measure to attaine euen vnto you.
Men nou p ap vante tèt nou plis ke mezi nou, men nan domèn kote Bondye te chwazi nou kòm yon mezi, pou menm rive kote nou ye a.
14 For we stretche not our selues beyonde our measure, as though wee had not attained vnto you: for euen to you also haue we come in preaching the Gospel of Christ,
Paske nou p ap lonje depase kapasite nou menm, kòmsi li pa t rive bò kote nou, paske nou te premye pou vini jis rive kote ou nan levanjil Kris la.
15 Not boasting of things which are without our measure: that is, of other mens labours: and we hope, when your faith shall increase, to bee magnified by you according to our line aboundantly,
Nou p ap vante tèt nou depase mezi pa nou, kòmsi, nan zèv a lòt moun, men avèk espwa ke pandan lafwa nou ap grandi, nou va, nan mezi nou, agrandi menm plis akoz nou menm.
16 And to preache the Gospel in those regions which are beyonde you: not to reioyce in another mans line, that is, in the thinges that are prepared alreadie.
Konsa nou ka preche levanjil menm nan zòn pi lwen nou yo, e pa vante tèt nou nan travay ki te fèt nan landwa a yon lòt.
17 But let him that reioyceth, reioyce in the Lord.
Men “Sila k ap vante tèt li a, kite li vante tèt li nan Senyè a.”
18 For hee that praiseth himselfe, is not alowed, but he whome the Lord praiseth.
Paske se pa sila ki rekòmande tèt li a ki apwouve, men se sila ki rekòmande pa Bondye a.
