2 Corinthians 4
1 Because of this, having this ministration, according as we did receive kindness, we do not faint,
Konsa, akoz ke nou gen ministè sa a, jan nou te resevwa mizerikòd la, nou pa dekouraje.
2 but did renounce 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 unto every conscience of men, before God;
Men nou renonse a bagay ki fèt an kachèt ki fè wont yo. Nou pa mache nan riz, ni nan kase fòs pawòl Bondye a ak desepsyon, men ak demonstrasyon verite a, nou rekòmande tèt nou a konsyans tout moun devan zye Bondye.
3 and if also our good news is vailed, in those perishing it is vailed,
Men si levanjil nou an vwale, li vwale pou sila k ap peri yo.
4 in whom the god of this age did blind the minds of the unbelieving, that there doth not shine forth to them the enlightening of the good news of the glory of the Christ, who is the image of God; (aiōn g165)
Nan ka sila a, dye a mond sa a vwale lespri a enkwayan yo pou yo pa wè limyè levanjil la, glwa a Kris la, ki se imaj a Bondye. (aiōn g165)
5 for not ourselves do we preach, but Christ Jesus — Lord, and ourselves your servants because of Jesus;
Paske nou pa preche tèt nou, men Kris Jésus a kòm Senyè, epi nou menm kòm sèvitè a nou tout, pou kòz a Jésus.
6 because [it is] God who said, Out of darkness light [is] to shine, who did shine in our hearts, for the enlightening of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
Paske se Bondye, ki te di: “Limyè va klere nan tenèb la”. Se Li menm nan ki te briye nan kè nou pou bay limyè de konesans a glwa Bondye a, ki se nan figi Kris Jésus a.
7 And we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us;
Men nou gen trezò sa a nan po ki fèt avèk tè ajil, pou grandè a pouvwa ki depase tout bagay la, kapab sòti nan Bondye e pa nan nou menm.
8 on every side being in tribulation, but not straitened; perplexed, but not in despair;
Nou aflije nan tout fason, men nou pa kraze; nou nan konfizyon, men nou pa nan dezespwa,
9 persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
pèsekite, men nou pa abandone. Nou pran so, men nou pa detwi.
10 at all times the dying of the Lord Jesus bearing about in the body, that the life also of Jesus in our body may be manifested,
Nou toujou ap pote nan kò la, lanmò Jésus, pou lavi Jésus kapab vin parèt nan kò nou.
11 for always are we who are living delivered up to death because of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our dying flesh,
Paske nou menm ki vivan yo toujou ap livre a lanmò pou kòz a Jésus, pou lavi Jésus kapab osi manifeste nan chè mòtèl nou an.
12 so that, the death indeed in us doth work, and the life in you.
Konsa, lanmò travay nan nou, men lavi nan ou.
13 And having the same spirit of the faith, according to that which hath been written, 'I believed, therefore I did speak;' we also do believe, therefore also do we speak;
Men avèk menm lespri lafwa a, selon sa ki ekri a: “Mwen te kwè, e akoz sa mwen te pale”, nou osi kwè, e akoz sa, nou pale;
14 knowing that He who did raise up the Lord Jesus, us also through Jesus shall raise up, and shall present with you,
avèk konesans ke Sila ki te leve Senyè a Jésus va leve nou osi avèk Jésus e va prezante nou avèk nou menm.
15 for the 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;
Paske tout bagay se pou koz a nou menm, pouke lagras k ap gaye a de plizanplis moun nan kapab koz anpil remèsiman pou laglwa Bondye.
16 wherefore, we faint not, but if also our outward man doth decay, yet the inward is renewed day by day;
Donk, nou p ap dekouraje, men malgre ke lòm eksteryè nou ap dekonpoze deja lòm enteryè nou ap renouvle de jou an jou.
17 for the momentary light matter of our tribulation, more and more exceedingly an age-during weight of glory doth work out for us — (aiōnios g166)
Paske ti afliksyon pou yon ti tan an ap pwodwi pou nou yon pwa laglwa etènèl ki depase tout konparezon, (aiōnios g166)
18 we not looking to the things seen, but to the things not seen; for the things seen [are] temporary, but the things not seen [are] age-during. (aiōnios g166)
pandan nou p ap gade bagay ki vizib, men bagay ki pa vizib. Paske bagay vizib yo se pou yon ti moman, men bagay ki pa vizib yo se pou tout letènite. (aiōnios g166)
