2 Corinthians 13
1 I come to you this third time; on the mouth of two or three witnesses will every saying be established;
M'ap vin lakay nou pou yon twazyèm fwa. Lè sa a, jan sa ekri nan Liv la, tout bagay va regle sou depozisyon de osinon twa temwen.
2 I have said before, and I say [it] before, as being present, the second time, and being absent, now, I write to those having sinned before, and to all the rest, that if I come again, I will not spare,
M'ap avèti nou tout ki te fè peche anvan sa, ansanm ak tout lòt yo. Mwen te deja di nou sa lè m' te vin lakay nou dezyèm fwa a. Koulye a mwen pa la, m'ap repete l' ankò: pwochenn fwa m'ap tounen lakay nou, mwen p'ap mennaje pesonn.
3 since you seek a proof of the Christ speaking in me, who is not weak to you, but is powerful in you,
Nou bezwen prèv se Kris la k'ap pale lè m'ap pale, enben n'a jwenn li. Kris la pa fèb non lè l'ap regle ak nou. Okontrè, l'ap fè nou wè pouvwa li.
4 for even if He was crucified from weakness, yet He lives from the power of God; for we also are weak in Him, but we will live with Him from the power of God toward you.
Wi, se vre: yo te kloure l' sou yon kwa paske li te fèb. Men koulye a, li vivan gremesi pouvwa Bondye a. Mwen menm tou, mwen fèb ansanm ak Kris la. Men, lè m'ap regle avèk nou, mwen vivan ansanm avè l' tou, gremesi pouvwa Bondye a.
5 Try yourselves, if you are in the faith; prove yourselves; do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you, if you are not disapproved of in some respect?
Sonde tèt nou nou menm, egzaminen konsyans nou byen pou wè si n'ap viv ak konfyans nan Bondye. Nou fèt pou nou rekonèt si Jezikri nan kè nou, esepte si nou pa ta kapab bay prèv nou gen konfyans nan Bondye.
6 And I hope that you will know that we are not disapproved of;
Men, mwen kwè n'a rekonèt sa tou: mwen menm, mwen kapab bay prèv mwen gen konfyans nan Bondye.
7 and I pray before God that you do no evil, not that we may appear approved, but that you may do that which is right, and we may be as disapproved;
M'ap lapriyè Bondye pou nou pa fè anyen ki mal. Lè m' fè sa, mwen pa fè l' nan lide pou m' moutre sa m' kapab fè. Men, mwen ta renmen wè nou fè sa ki byen, menm si mwen pase pou moun ki pa kapab fè anyen.
8 for we are not able to do anything against the truth, but for the truth;
Nou pa ka fè anyen ki kont verite Bondye a, se pou li ase nou ka travay.
9 for we rejoice when we may be weak, but you may be powerful; and we also pray for this—your perfection!
Mwen kontan nèt lè mwen menm mwen fèb, epi nou menm nou gen fòs. Se sak fè, m'ap mande nan lapriyè m' pou nou vin bon nèt sou tout pwen.
10 Because of this, these things—being absent—I write, that being present, I may not treat [any] sharply, according to the authority that the LORD gave me for building up, and not for casting down.
M'ap ekri nou konsa lè mwen lwen nou, se pou lè m' rive lakay nou, mwen pa bezwen aji sevè avèk nou. Otorite Seyè a ban mwen an, se pa pou detwi nou non li ban mwen li. Men, se pou fè nou grandi nan konfyans nou gen nan Kris la.
11 From now on, brothers, rejoice; be made perfect, be comforted, be of the same mind, be at peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you.
Koulye a, frè m' yo, mwen kite nou. Chache pou nou vin bon nèt sou tout pwen. Se pou nou yonn ankouraje lòt, mete nou dakò yonn ak lòt, viv ak kè poze. Bondye ki bay renmen ak kè poze a, va toujou avè nou.
12 Greet one another in a holy kiss.
Se pou nou yonn bo lòt tankou moun k'ap viv pou Bondye.
13 All the holy ones greet you.
Tout frè k'ap viv apa pou Bondye yo voye bonjou pou nou.
14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, [is] with you all! Amen.
Se pou benediksyon Seyè Jezikri ban nou an, ak renmen Bondye gen pou nou an, ansanm ak pouvwa Sentespri k'ap fè nou viv ansanm lan toujou la ak nou tout.
