1 Peter 4
1 Since, then, Christ suffered in the flesh, do you also ever arm yourselves with the same mind (because he who has suffered in the flesh has done with sin),
Konsa, paske Kris te soufri nan lachè a, ranfòse tèt nou osi avèk menm bi a; paske moun ki deja soufri nan lachè yo, gen tan sispann fè peche,
2 so that in future you may not spend your life in the flesh according to men’s desires, but in the will of God.
pou nou pa viv rès tan an konsa, nan lachè ak dezi a lòm, men viv pou volonte a Bondye.
3 For the time past of life may suffice us to have worked the will of the Gentiles, when we spent our life in lasciviousness, lusts, hard drinking, revelry, banqueting, and abominable idol worship.
Paske tan ki pase deja a, sifi pou nou te akonpli tout dezi a payen yo. Nou te konn pouswiv yon kous sansyèl, dezi chanèl, vin sou, banbòch, gwo fèt bwason, ak idolatri ki abominab.
4 They are astonished at this, that you do not run into the same excesses of profligacy as they do; and they speak evil of you.
Nan tout sa, yo etone ke nou pa kouri avèk yo nan menm eksè ki fè yo dejenere konsa a, e yo pale mal sou nou.
5 But they must render account to Him who stands ready to judge the living and the dead.
Men yo va rann kont a Sila ki prèt pou jije vivan ak mò yo a.
6 The gospel was preached for this cause to those who were dead also, that they might be judged according to men in flesh, but live according to God in spirit.
Paske pou rezon sa a, levanjil la preche menm a sila ki mouri yo, pouke, malgre, yo jije nan lachè kòm lòm, yo ta kapab viv nan lespri selon volonte a Bondye a.
7 But the end of all things is close at hand; so be sober, watch and pray.
Lafen tout bagay pwòch. Konsa, se pou nou vin saj, ak yon jan de panse byen serye pou nou kab priye.
8 Above everything have fervent love to one another; for love veils a multitude of sins.
Anplis de tout bagay, rete fèm nan lanmou nou youn pou lòt, paske lanmou kouvri yon gran kantite peche.
9 Be hospitable to one another, without grudging.
Resevwa youn lòt lakay nou san plenyen.
10 Whatever the gifts which each has received, use them for one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
Akoz chak moun gen tan resevwa yon don espesyal, anplwaye li nan sèvi youn lòt kòm bon jeran ak tout gras ke Bondye te bay la.
11 If any one preaches, let him always preach as one who utters God’s truth; if any one serves another, let it be with the strength which God supplies; so that in every way God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory and dominion for ever and ever, Amen. (aiōn g165)
Nenpòt moun ki pale, li dwe fè sa tankou sila k ap pale pawòl a Bondye. Nenpòt moun ki sèvi, li dwe fè li tankou sila k ap sèvi avèk tout fòs ke Bondye ba li, pouke nan tout bagay, Bondye kapab glorifye atravè Jésus Kri. A Li menm, apatyen laglwa ak pwisans, pou tout tan e pou tout tan. Amen. (aiōn g165)
12 Do not think it strange, beloved, that a fiery ordeal has come to test you, as though some surprising thing had befallen you.
Byeneme yo, pa vin etone de eprèv cho kap brile nan mitan nou an, ki parèt sou nou kòm yon eprèv, kòmsi se kèk bagay etranj k ap rive nou.
13 But be glad in the degree in which you share in the sufferings of Christ; so that when his glory shall be revealed, you too may be glad with triumphant gladness.
Men nan menm degre ke nou pataje soufrans Kris la, kontinye rejwi nou, anfen ke nan revelasyon laglwa Li, nou kapab rejwi nou avèk gwo lajwa.
14 If you are being reproached for the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the spirit of glory and of God is resting upon you.
Si yo pale mal de nou pou non a Kris la nou beni, paske Lespri laglwa a, ak Lespri Bondye a rete sou nou. De pati de sa yo, non L blasfeme, men sou pati pa w Li resevwa glwa.
15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evil-doer, or as a spy upon other people’s business.
Fè si ke okenn nan nou pa soufri kòm asasen, vòlè, oswa yon malfektè, ni yon moun k ap simen latwoublay;
16 But if any man is suffering as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him ever glorify God in this Name.
Men, si yon moun soufri kòm yon Kretyen (yon moun k ap adore Kris), li pa dwe wont, men li dwe glorifye Bondye nan non sila a.
17 It is time for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it first begin with us, what shall be the end of those who are disobedient to the gospel?
Paske li lè pou jijman kòmanse avèk manm lakay Bondye yo. E si li kòmanse avèk nou an premye, kisa ki va rive a sila ki pa obeyi a levanjil a Bondye a?
18 If the righteous man is scarcely saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
Epi si se avèk difikilte ke moun jis yo sove, kisa ki va rive nonm ki san Bondye a, ak pechè a?
19 So let those who are suffering according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well-doing, as unto a faithful Creator.
Konsa, sila yo osi ki soufri selon volonte Bondye a lè yo fè byen, lese yo remèt nanm yo a Li menm kòn yon Kreyatè Fidèl.
