1 Corinthians 6
1 If one of you has a grievance against an opponent, does he dare to go to law before irreligious men and not before God's people?
Lè yonn nan nou gen kont ak yon frè, ki jan l' ka penmèt li al nan tribinal devan moun ki pa konn Bondye, pase pou l' mande moun ki fè pati pèp Bondye a regle sa pou li?
2 Do you not know that God's people will sit in judgement upon the world? And if you are the court before which the world is to be judged, are you unfit to deal with these petty matters?
Kouman? Se konnen nou pa konnen moun ki fè pati pèp Bondye a gen pou jije moun ki nan lemonn yo? Si nou gen pou nou jije moun k'ap viv dapre lide ki nan lemonn yo, ki jan nou fè pa kapab jije bagay ki pi piti pase sa?
3 Do you not know that we are to sit in judgement upon angels--to say nothing of things belonging to this life?
Se konnen nou pa konnen nou gen pou n' jije ata zanj Bondye yo tou? Se pa ti bagay k'ap pase sou latè sa a pou n' pa ta kapab jije.
4 If therefore you have things belonging to this life which need to be decided, is it men who are absolutely nothing in the Church--is it they whom you make your judges?
Si nou gen kont pou ti bagay konsa, nou pa ka al pran moun ki pa anyen nan legliz la pou jije nou.
5 I say this to put you to shame. Has it come to this, that there does not exist among you a single wise man competent to decide between a man and his brother,
Mwen wont pou nou. Konsa, gen lè pa gen pesonn nan mitan nou ki gen bon konprann dekwa pou regle kont nou gen yonn ak lòt,
6 but brother goes to law with brother, and that before unbelievers?
kifè yon frè blije rele yon lòt frè nan tribinal pou fè moun ki tou pa kwè yo jije nou?
7 To say no more, then, it is altogether a defect in you that you have law-suits with one another. Why not rather endure injustice? Why not rather submit to being defrauded?
Sa ki pi rèd, si nou ka gen pwose yonn ak lòt, sa deja moutre jan nou pa bon menm. Poukisa nou pa asepte soufri lenjistis pito? Poukisa nou pa kite yo piye nou pito?
8 On the contrary you yourselves inflict injustice and fraud, and upon brethren too.
Okontrè, mwen wè se nou menm k'ap fè lòt lenjistis, k'ap piye yo, epi ki moun n'ap fè sa, se pwòp frè nou nan Kris la!
9 Do you not know that unrighteous men will not inherit God's Kingdom? Cherish no delusion here. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor any who are guilty of unnatural crime,
Nou konnen byen pwòp moun ki mechan p'ap resevwa anyen nan peyi kote Bondye wa a. Pa twonpe tèt nou: moun k'ap viv nan dezòd, moun k'ap sèvi zidòl, moun k'ap viv nan adiltè, moun pèvèti k'ap sèvi fanm ak fanm, gason ak gason,
10 nor theives, nor avaricious people, nor any who are addicted to hard drinking, to abusive language or to greed of gain, will inherit God's Kingdom.
moun k'ap vòlò, moun ki gen lanvi plen kè yo, tafyatè, moun k'ap pale moun mal, piyajè, yo yonn p'ap resevwa anyen nan peyi kote Bondye wa a.
11 And all this describes what some of you were. But now you have had every stain washed off: now you have been set apart as holy: now you have been pronounced free from guilt; in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and through the Spirit of our God.
Anpil nan nou, se sa menm nou te ye. Men, koulye a Bondye mete nou nan kondisyon pou nou sèvi l'. Gremesi Jezikri, Seyè a, li mete nou apa pou li, li fè nou gras pa pouvwa Lespri Bondye nou an.
12 Everything is allowable to me, but not everything is profitable. Everything is allowable to me, but to nothing will I become a slave.
Gen kèk moun nan nou ki di: Mwen gen dwa fè tout bagay. Wi, ou gen dwa fè tout bagay. Men, tout bagay pa bon pou fè. Mwen ka di mwen gen dwa fè tout bagay. Men, mwen p'ap kite anyen fè m' tounen esklav li, li te mèt sa l' te ye.
13 Food of all kinds is meant for the stomach, and the stomach is meant for food, and God will cause both of them to perish. Yet the body does not exist for the purpose of fornication, but for the Master's service, and the Master exists for the body;
Nou di tou: Manje fèt pou vant, vant fèt pou manje. Se vre. Men, Bondye ap detwi ni yonn ni lòt. Kò moun pa fèt pou dezòd lachè. Se pou Seyè a li ye, Seyè a se pou kò a li ye.
14 and as God by His power raised the Master to life, so He will also raise us up.
Bondye te fè Seyè a leve soti vivan nan lanmò. La fè menm bagay la tou pou nou ak pouvwa li.
15 Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take away the members of Christ and make them the members of a prostitute? No, indeed.
Nou konnen, pa vre, kò nou se manm kò Kris la. Eske mwen ka pran yon mann kò Kris la pou m' fè l' tounen yon manm kò yon fanm k'ap fè jennès? Pa posib!
16 Or do you not know that a man who has to do with a prostitute is one with her in body? For God says, "The two shall become one."
Eske nou pa konn sa: yon nonm ki mete kò l' ak yon fanm ki nan jennès, li fè yon sèl kò avèk li. Se sa Liv la di: yo tou de va fè yon sèl kò.
17 But he who is in union with the Master is one with Him in spirit.
Men, moun ki mete l' avèk Seyè a, li fè yon sèl lespri avèk li.
18 Flee from fornication. Any other sin that a human being commits lies outside the body; but he who commits fornication sins against his own body.
Kouri pou dezòd lachè. Yon moun te mèt fè tout lòt kalite peche, sa pa fè kò l' anyen. Men, moun ki lage kò l' nan dezòd lachè, li fè peche kont pwòp kò li.
19 Or do you not know that your bodies are a sanctuary of the Holy Spirit who is within you--the Spirit whom you have from God?
Se konnen nou pa konnen kò nou se tanp Sentespri k'ap viv nan kè nou, Sentespri Bondye te ban nou an? Nou pa mèt tèt nou ankò.
20 And you are not your own, for you have been redeemed at infinite cost. Therefore glorify God in your bodies.
Bondye achte nou kach, li peye chè pou sa. Se poutèt sa, sèvi ak kò nou yon jan pou fè lwanj Bondye.
