1 Piè 2
1 Se poutèt sa, derasinen tout mechanste ki te nan lavi nou. Sispann bay manti, sispann fè ipokrizi, sispann fè jalouzi ak tripotaj.
Putting away therefore all wickedness, all deceit, hypocrisies, envies, and all evil speaking,
2 Tankou timoun ki fenk fèt, se pou nou kriye dèyè bon lèt san dekoupe ki soti nan Bondye, pou nou kapab grandi, pou nou kapab fin delivre nèt.
as newborn babies, long for the pure spiritual milk, that with it you may grow,
3 Paske, nou deja goute Mèt la, nou wè jan li bon.
if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
4 Pwoche vin jwenn Seyè a, li menm ki wòch vivan an. Moun te voye li jete paske pou yo li te san valè. Men, li gen anpil valè pou Bondye ki te chwazi li.
Come to him, a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God, precious.
5 Nou menm tou, tankou wòch vivan, kite Bondye sèvi ak nou pou bati kay li a ak pouvwa Sentespri, pou nou ka sèvi l' tankou prèt k'ap viv pou li. Konsa, gremesi Jezikri, n'a ofri bay Bondye ofrann ki soti nan kè nou, ofrann ki pou fè l' plezi.
You also as living stones are built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Yeshua the Messiah.
6 Se poutèt sa nou jwenn sa ekri nan Liv la: Men li, mwen mete yon wòch nan mitan peyi Siyon, yon wòch kwen mwen menm mwen chwazi epi ki gen anpil valè. Moun ki mete konfyans yo nan li p'ap janm soti wont.
Because it is contained in Scripture, “Behold, I lay in Zion a chief cornerstone, chosen and precious. He who believes in him will not be disappointed.”
7 Pou nou menm ki mete konfyans nou nan wòch la, wòch la gen anpil valè. Men, pou moun ki pa mete konfyans yo nan li, sa ki ekri nan Liv la pral rive vre: Wòch moun ki t'ap bati yo te voye jete a, se li menm ki tounen wòch ki kenbe kay la.
For you who believe therefore is the honour, but for those who are disobedient, “The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone,”
8 Se yon wòch k'ap fè moun bite, yon gwo wòch k'ap fè yo tonbe. Yo bite, paske yo pa koute pawòl la. Enben, se sa ki te sere pou yo.
and, “a stumbling stone and a rock of offence.” For they stumble at the word, being disobedient, to which also they were appointed.
9 Men nou menm, nou se yon ras Bondye chwazi, yon bann prèt k'ap sèvi Wa a, yon nasyon k'ap viv apa pou Bondye, yon pèp li achte. Li fè tou sa pou n' te ka fè tout moun konnen bèl bagay Bondye te fè yo, Bondye ki rele nou soti nan fènwa a pou nou antre nan bèl limyè li a.
But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, that you may proclaim the excellence of him who called you out of darkness into his marvellous light.
10 Anvan sa, nou pa t' menm yon nasyon. Men koulye a, nou se pèp Bondye a. Anvan sa, Bondye pa t' gen pitye pou nou. Koulye a, li gen pitye pou nou.
In the past, you were not a people, but now are God’s people, who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
11 Zanmi m' yo, men sa m'ap mande nou. M'ap pale ak nou koulye a tankou ak moun ki etranje, ki depasaj sou latè: Se pou nou kenbe tèt ak tout egzijans lachè a k'ap goumen kont nanm nou.
Beloved, I beg you as foreigners and pilgrims to abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul,
12 Se pou nou gen yon bon kondit nan mitan moun sa yo ki pa konn Bondye. Konsa, lè y'ap pale nou mal, lè y'ap di se yon bann malfektè nou ye, y'a gen pou yo rekonèt tout byen n'ap fè a, y'a fè lwanj Bondye lè la vin jije yo.
having good behaviour amongst the nations, so in that of which they speak against you as evildoers, they may see your good works and glorify God in the day of visitation.
13 Soumèt devan tout otorite lèzòm etabli. Fè sa pou Bondye. Soumèt devan wa a, paske se li ki pi gwo chèf.
Therefore subject yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether to the king, as supreme,
14 Soumèt devan majistra yo, paske wa a voye yo pou peni tout moun k'ap fè mal, pou fè lwanj tout moun k'ap fè byen.
or to governors, as sent by him for vengeance on evildoers and for praise to those who do well.
15 Paske, Bondye vle pou n' fè sa ki byen, pou n' ka fèmen bouch moun sa yo ki pa konn anyen, ki san konprann.
For this is the will of God, that by well-doing you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish men.
16 Se pou nou viv tankou moun ki gen tout libète yo. Men, nou pa dwe pran libète sa a sèvi yon kouvèti pou nou fè sa ki mal. Se pou nou viv tankou moun k'ap sèvi Bondye.
Live as free people, yet not using your freedom for a cloak of wickedness, but as bondservants of God.
17 Se pou nou bay chak moun respè li merite. renmen tout frè nou yo, gen krentif pou Bondye, respekte wa a.
Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.
18 Nou menm domestik yo, nou fèt pou soumèt devan mèt nou yo avèk tout respè yo merite. Pa sèlman devan mèt ki bon yo, mèt ki gen bon kè yo, men devan mèt ki gen karaktè difisil yo tou.
Servants, be in subjection to your masters with all respect, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the wicked.
19 Bondye va beni nou, si, lè y'ap fè nou soufri pou sa nou pa fè, nou sipòte lafliksyon an paske nou konnen se sa Bondye vle.
For it is commendable if someone endures pain, suffering unjustly, because of conscience towards God.
20 Ki lwanj ki gen nan sa si nou sipòte lè y'ap maltrete nou pou sa nou fè ki mal? Men, si lè nou fè byen, nou sipòte tou sa y'ap fè nou soufri poutèt byen nou fè a, sa se yon bèl bagay devan Bondye.
For what glory is it if, when you sin, you patiently endure beating? But if when you do well, you patiently endure suffering, this is commendable with God.
21 Se pou sa menm Bondye te rele nou, paske Kris la te soufri pou nou. Li kite yon egzanp pou nou swiv pye pou pye.
For you were called to this, because Messiah also suffered for us, leaving you an example, that you should follow his steps,
22 Li pa t' janm fè ankenn peche. Ankenn manti pa t' janm soti nan bouch li.
who didn’t sin, “neither was deceit found in his mouth.”
23 Lè yo t'ap joure l', li pa t' reponn. Lè yo t'ap maltrete l', li pa t' mennase pesonn. Men, li renmèt kòz li nan men Bondye k'ap jije tout bagay san patipri.
When he was cursed, he didn’t curse back. When he suffered, he didn’t threaten, but committed himself to him who judges righteously.
24 Kris la te pote peche nou yo nan kò li sou bwa a, pou nou te kapab mouri annegad peche, pou nou te ka viv dwat devan Bondye. Li te kite yo maltrete l' pou l' te ka geri nou.
He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness. You were healed by his wounds.
25 Nou te tankou mouton ki te pèdi bann yo. Men, koulye a, nou tounen vin jwenn Kris la ki gadò nou, k'ap veye sou nanm nou.
For you were going astray like sheep; but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.
