< 2 Corinthians 4 >
1 Because of this, having this ministry, according as we received kindness, we do not faint,
Konsa, se Bondye menm, nan kè sansib li gen pou mwen an, ki te renmèt mwen travay sa a pou m' fè. Se poutèt sa, mwen pa janm pèdi kouraj.
2 but renounced for ourselves the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness, nor deceitfully using the word of God, but by the manifestation of the truth recommending ourselves to every conscience of men, before God;
Mwen voye tout bagay lèd lèzòm ap fè an kachèt yo jete. Mwen pa fè okenn riz. Mwen pa chanje anyen nan pawòl Bondye a. Okontrè, mwen fè tout moun konnen verite a jan l' ye a. Se konsa bagay sa yo rekòmande mwen devan Bondye bay tout moun ki gen konsyans.
3 and if our good news is also veiled, it is veiled in those perishing,
Si malgre sa, bon nouvèl m'ap anonse a pa klè toujou, li pa klè pou moun k'ap peri yo.
4 in whom the god of this age blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that there does not shine forth to them the enlightening of the good news of the glory of the Christ, who is the image of God; (aiōn )
Yo pa kwè paske sa yo pran pou Bondye nan lemonn lan bouche lespri yo. Li enpoze yo wè limyè bon nouvèl la. Se bon nouvèl sa a ki fè nou konnen pouvwa Kris la, li menm ki pòtre Bondye. (aiōn )
5 for we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus—LORD, and [we are] ourselves your servants because of Jesus;
Konprann sa byen, se pa tèt pa m' m'ap fè nou konnen: men se Jezikri, Seyè a, m'ap fè nou konnen. Mwen menm mwen di nou se sèvi m'ap sèvi nou poutèt Jezi.
6 because [it is] God who said, “Light will shine out of darkness,” who shined in our hearts, for the enlightening of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
Bondye ki te di: Mwen vle pou limyè a klere nan mitan fènwa a, se li menm tou ki fè limyè li a klere nan kè nou pou li fè nou konnen pouvwa li ki yon limyè ki klere byen bèl nan figi Kris la.
7 And we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God, and not of us,
Men, nou tout k'ap pote richès Bondye sa a nan kè nou, nou tankou veso ki fèt an tè. Tou sa se pou tout moun ka wè kokenn chenn pouvwa sa a pa soti nan nou, men se nan Bondye li soti.
8 being in tribulation in every [way], but not crushed; perplexed, but not despairing;
Mwen jwenn tout kalite fikilte; men, mwen pa janm kwense nèt. Mwen konn rive nan sitiyasyon mwen pa konn ni sa pou m' fè, ni sa pou m' di. Men, mwen pa janm pèdi espwa.
9 persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
Yo pèsekite m', men Bondye pa janm lage mwen. Mwen pran gwo so, men mwen pa rete atè a.
10 at all times carrying around in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body,
Se konsa, kote m' pase mwen pote soufrans lanmò Jezi a nan kò mwen, pou tout moun ka wè pouvwa lavi Jezi a ap travay nan kò m' tou.
11 for we who are living are always delivered up to death because of Jesus, that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our dying flesh,
Nan lavi m', se tout tan m'ap pase toupre lanmò poutèt Jezi, pou pouvwa lavi Jezi a ka parèt aklè nan kò mwen ki la pou mouri.
12 so that, death indeed works in us, and life in you.
Konsa, lanmò ap travay nan mwen, men se lavi k'ap travay nan nou menm moun Korent.
13 And having the same spirit of faith, according to that which has been written: “I believed, therefore I spoke”; we also believe, therefore we also speak;
Men sa ki ekri nan Liv la: Mwen te gen konfyans, se poutèt sa mwen te pale. Mwen menm tou, mwen gen menm konfyans sa a, se poutèt sa m'ap pale.
14 knowing that He who raised up the Lord Jesus, will also raise us up through Jesus, and will present [us] with you,
Mwen konnen Bondye ki te fè Seyè Jezi leve soti vivan nan lanmò a, li gen pou l' fè m' tounen vivan ankò ansanm ak Jezi, li gen pou l' fè m' parèt ansanm ak nou devan li.
15 for all things [are] because of you, that the grace having been multiplied, because of the thanksgiving of the more, may abound to the glory of God;
Se poutèt nou menm, moun Korent, kifè tout bagay sa yo rive, paske fòk gen plis moun toujou k'ap resevwa favè Bondye a pou sa gen plis moun tou k'ap lapriyè pou di Bondye mèsi pou pouvwa li.
16 for this reason, we do not faint, but if our outward man also decays, yet the inward is renewed day by day;
Se sak fè mwen pa janm dekouraje. Menm si kò m' ap bese chak jou, lespri m' ap vin pi fèm chak jou tou.
17 for the momentary light matter of our tribulation works out for us more and more an exceedingly continuous weight of glory— (aiōnios )
Sa m'ap sibi koulye a, se yon ti soufrans ki la pou pase. Men, soufrans sa a ap pare pou mwen yon bèl pouvwa k'ap la pou tout tan, pouvwa ki depase ti soufrans sa a anpil. (aiōnios )
18 we [are] not looking to the things seen, but to the things not seen; for the things seen [are] temporary, but the things not seen [are] continuous. (aiōnios )
Paske, mwen p'ap konsidere bagay moun wè, men bagay moun pa wè. Sa moun wè, se bagay ki pa la pou lontan, men sa moun pa wè, se bagay ki la pou tout tan. (aiōnios )
