2 Corinthians 5
1 For we have known that if our earthly house of the tabernacle may be thrown down, a building from God we have, an house not made with hands — age-during — in the heavens, (aiōnios g166)
Paske nou konnen ke si tant tèrès la ki se lakay nou an vin demoli, nou gen yon kay ki sòti nan Bondye; yon kay ki pa fèt avèk men, ki etènèl nan syèl la. (aiōnios g166)
2 for also in this we groan, with our dwelling that is from heaven earnestly desiring to clothe ourselves,
Paske vrèman, nan kay sila a, nou plenyen avèk lanvi pou nou abiye nou ak kay nou ki nan syèl la;
3 if so be that, having clothed ourselves, we shall not be found naked,
kòmsi nou konnen ke lè nou fin mete li, nou p ap janm toutouni ankò.
4 for we also who are in the tabernacle do groan, being burdened, seeing we wish not to unclothe ourselves, but to clothe ourselves, that the mortal may be swallowed up of the life.
Paske vrèman, pandan nou nan tant kò sa a, nou plenyen, nou anba gwo fado, paske nou pa vle dezabiye nou, men abiye nou, jis pou sa ki mòtèl la kapab anglouti pa lavi etènèl.
5 And He who did work us to this self-same thing [is] God, who also did give to us the earnest of the Spirit;
Alò, Sila ki te prepare nou pou menm bi sa a, se Bondye, ki te bannou Lespri Sen kòm yon pwomès la.
6 having courage, then, at all times, and knowing that being at home in the body, we are away from home from the Lord, —
Konsa, toujou avèk bon kouraj, ak konesans ke pandan nou lakay nou nan kò a, nou absan de Senyè a,
7 for through faith we walk, not through sight —
paske nou mache pa lafwa, e pa selon sa nou wè.
8 we have courage, and are well pleased rather to be away from the home of the body, and to be at home with the Lord.
Men, mwen di nou, nou gen bon kouraj. Nou prefere pito absan de kò a pou prezan lakay nou avèk Senyè a.
9 Wherefore also we are ambitious, whether at home or away from home, to be well pleasing to him,
Konsa nou gen osi kòm dezi, pou, kit nou lakay, kit nou absan, pou fè Li menm plezi.
10 for all of us it behoveth to be manifested before the tribunal of the Christ, that each one may receive the things [done] through the body, in reference to the things that he did, whether good or evil;
Paske nou tout dwe parèt devan chèz jijman a Kris la, pou chak moun kapab rekonpanse pou zèv li nan kò a, selon sa li te fè, kit byen kit mal.
11 having known, therefore, the fear of the Lord, we persuade men, and to God we are manifested, and I hope also in your consciences to have been manifested;
Konsa, avèk konesans lakrent Senyè a, nou menm ap fè tout moun kwè, men nou vin rekonèt devan Bondye; epi mwen espere ke nou rekonèt nan konsyans pa nou yo tou.
12 for not again ourselves do we recommend to you, but we are giving occasion to you of glorifying in our behalf, that ye may have [something] in reference to those glorifying in face and not in heart;
Nou p ap vin pale byen de pwòp tèt nou bannou ankò, men n ap bannou yon okazyon pou vin fyè de nou, pou nou kab gen yon repons a sila ki jwenn fyète nan aparans, men pa nan kè.
13 for whether we were beside ourselves, [it was] to God; whether we be of sound mind — [it is] to you,
Paske si nou vin debòde, se pou Bondye. Epi si nou nan bon sans nou, se pou nou menm.
14 for the love of the Christ doth constrain us, having judged thus: that if one for all died, then the whole died,
Paske lanmou Kris la k ap bourade nou. Konsa li mennen nou a konklizyon sa a; ke yon moun te mouri pou tout moun, kidonk, tout moun te mouri.
15 and for all he died, that those living, no more to themselves may live, but to him who died for them, and was raised again.
Li te mouri pou tout moun, pouke sila ki vivan yo pa ta viv pou tèt yo ankò, men pou Li menm ki te mouri an e ki te leve ankò pou yo a.
16 So that we henceforth have known no one according to the flesh, and even if we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know him no more;
Pou sa a, depi koulye a nou pa rekonèt okenn moun selon lachè. Malgre ke nou te konnen Kris selon lachè, deja koulye a nou pa konnen Li fason sa a ankò.
17 so that if any one [is] in Christ — [he is] a new creature; the old things did pass away, lo, become new have the all things.
Donk Si yon moun nan Kris, Li se yon kreyati tounèf. Ansyen bagay yo vin pase. Gade byen, tout bagay vin tounèf.
18 And the all things [are] of God, who reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and did give to us the ministration of the reconciliation,
Konsa, tout bagay sa yo sòti nan Bondye ki te rekonsilye nou a Li menm pa Kris la, e ki te bannou ministè rekonsilyasyon an.
19 how that God was in Christ — a world reconciling to Himself, not reckoning to them their trespasses; and having put in us the word of the reconciliation,
Kòmsi ke Bondye te nan Kris ki t ap rekonsilye mond lan a Li menm, san konte ofans pa yo kont yo menm, e Li te livre bannou, pawòl a rekonsilyasyon an.
20 in behalf of Christ, then, we are ambassadors, as if God were calling through us, we beseech, in behalf of Christ, 'Be ye reconciled to God;'
Konsa, nou se ambasadè pou Kris, tankou si Bondye t ap sèvi nou pou sipliye lòt. Pou sa a, nou priye nou nan non a Kris la pou nou vin rekonsilye ak Bondye.
21 for him who did not know sin, in our behalf He did make sin, that we may become the righteousness of God in him.
Li te fè Sila ki pa t konnen okenn peche a devni peche pou nou menm, pou nou ta kapab devni ladwati Bondye nan Li menm.
