2 Corinthians 13
1 This, I say, is the third time I am coming to you: and at the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.
Sa se twazyèm fwa m ap vin kote nou. “Chak sa ki fèt dwe konfime pa temwayaj a de oubyen twa temwen.”
2 I said before, and I again tell you beforehand, as if I were present the second time; and being absent I now write to those who have sinned heretofore, and to all the rest, that if I come again I will not spare:
Mwen te di nou oparavan lè m te la nan dezyèm fwa a, e byenke m pa la koulye a, mwen di davans a sila yo ki te peche nan tan pase yo e a tout rès moun yo tou, ke si m vini ankò, mwen p ap epagne pèsòn.
3 since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, who is not weak toward you, but is powerful among you.
Paske se konsa nou ap chache prèv a Kris ki pale nan mwen an, e ki pa fèb anvè nou an, men byen pwisan nan nou.
4 For if He was crucified as from weakness, yet He now liveth by the power of God: for we also are weak in Him, but shall live with Him by the power of God manifested to you.
Paske malgre Li te krisifye akoz de feblès, deja Li vivan akoz de pwisans Bondye a. Paske nou osi, nou fèb nan Li, malgre nou va viv avèk Li akoz de pwisans Bondye anvè nou.
5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove yourselves: do ye not know yourselves to be such that Jesus Christ is in you? unless ye are reprovable.
Fè prèv tèt nou pou wè si nou nan lafwa. Egzamine tèt nou! Oubyen èske nou pa rekonèt sa nan ou menm, ke Jésus Kri nan nou—-amwenske anfèt nou ta echwe nan tès la?
6 But I hope ye will soon know that we are not disapproved.
Men mwen gen konfyans ke ou va vin reyalize ke nou menm, nou pa echwe nan tès la.
7 I pray to God that ye may do no evil: and not that we may appear to be approved by your punishment, but that ye may do that which is good, though we should seem to be disapproved.
Koulye a, n ap priye Bondye pou ou pa fè okenn mal; se pa pou nou kapab parèt kòmsi nou vin apwouve, men pou ou kapab fè sa ki bon, menmsi li sanble nou pa apwouve.
8 For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.
Paske nou pa kapab fè anyen kont verite a, men sèlman pou verite a.
9 For we rejoice when we exert not our power, and when ye are strong: as this is what we wish, even your perfection.
Paske nou rejwi lè nou fèb e ou menm vin gen fòs. Se pou sa n ap priye; ke ou kapab vin konplè.
10 Therefore I write these things while absent, that when present I may not use severity, according to the power which the Lord hath given me for edification, and not for destruction.
Pou rezon sa a, mwen ap ekri bagay sa yo pandan mwen pa la a, jis pou lè m la, mwen p ap bezwen itilize severite mwen, selon otorite ke Senyè a te ban mwen pou bati e pa pou detwi.
11 Finally, my brethren, farewel: be reformed, be exhorted, be of one mind, live in peace: and the God of love and peace will be with you.
Finalman, frè m yo, rejwi. Vin konplè, vin rekonfòte vin gen yon sèl panse. Viv nan lapè, epi Bondye lanmou ak lapè a va avèk nou.
12 Salute one another with an holy kiss.
Salye youn lòt avèk yon beze ki sen.
13 All the saints salute you. May the favor of the Lord Jesus Christ,
Tout sen yo salye nou.
14 and the love of God, and the communication of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.
Ke lagras Senyè a Jésus Kri, lanmou Bondye a, ak dous kominyon Lespri Sen an, rete avèk nou tout. Amen.
