2 Korint 1

1 Mwen menm Pòl, yon moun Bondye menm te deside rele pou sèvi apòt Jezikri, ansanm ak frè nou Timote, m'ap ekri nou tout ki nan legliz Bondye a nan lavil Korent ansanm ak tout pèp Bondye a ki nan tout peyi Lakayi.

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, through the will of God, and Timotheus the brother, to the Assembly of God that is in Corinth, with all the holy ones who are in all Achaia:

2 Nou mande Bondye, papa nou, ansanm ak Jezikri, Seyè nou an, pou yo ban nou benediksyon ak kè poze.

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!

3 Ann fè lwanj Bondye ki papa Jezikri, Seyè nou an, Papa ki gen kè sansib la, Bondye ki toujou la pou ban nou ankourajman an.

Blessed [is] God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and God of all comfort,

4 Li ankouraje nou nan tout lapenn nou, konsa nou menm tou nou ka ankouraje moun ki nan tout kalite lapenn lè n'a ba yo menm ankourajman nou te resevwa nan men li an.

who is comforting us in all our tribulation, for our being able to comfort those in any tribulation through the comfort with which we are comforted ourselves by God;

5 Menm jan nou soufri ak Kris la nan tout soufrans li yo, konsa tou, gremesi Kris la, nou resevwa yon gwo ankourajman.

because, as the sufferings of the Christ abound to us, so through the Christ our comfort also abounds;

6 Si mwen menm mwen nan lapenn, se pou nou menm, moun Korent yo, nou ka resevwa ankourajman pou nou ka delivre. Si mwen menm mwen resevwa ankourajman, se pou nou menm nou ka ankouraje, pou nou ka resevwa fòs kouraj pou sipòte avèk pasyans soufrans mwen menm m'ap sipòte a.

and whether we be in tribulation, [it is] for your comfort and salvation, that is worked in the enduring of the same sufferings that we also suffer; whether we are comforted, [it is] for your comfort and salvation;

7 Se konsa, mwen gen fèm espwa sa a pou nou, moun Korent, paske mwen konn sa byen, menm jan nou soufri ansanm avè m' nan tout lapenn mwen yo, konsa tou n'a resevwa pa nou nan ankourajman Bondye ap ban mwen an.

and our hope [is] steadfast for you, knowing that even as you are partakers of the sufferings—so also of the comfort.

8 Mwen ta renmen, frè m' yo, nou konnen anba ki kalite soufrans mwen te ye nan pwovens Lazi a. Sa te rèd nèt. Mwen pa t' kapab sipòte ankò. Mwen te menm kwè mwen pa t'ap soti vivan.

For we do not wish you to be ignorant, brothers, of our tribulation that happened to us in Asia, that we were exceedingly burdened above [our] power, so that we even despaired of life;

9 Mwen te santi yo te dèyè pou yo te touye mwen. Tou sa rive m' pou m' te aprann pa mete konfyans mwen sou fòs kouraj pa mwen, men pou m' te ka mete tout konfyans mwen nan Bondye ki fè moun mouri leve.

but we ourselves have had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we may not be trusting on ourselves, but on God, who is raising the dead,

10 Se li menm ki delivre m' anba tout gwo danje lanmò sa yo. Se li menm k'ap toujou la pou delivre m'. Wi, mwen gen espwa l'ap toujou delivre mwen,

who delivered us out of so great a death, and delivers, in whom we have hoped that even yet He will deliver;

11 depi nou menm moun Korent nou ban m' ankourajman, nou lapriyè pou mwen. Se konsa Bondye va tande tout lapriyè sa yo n'ap fè pou mwen, la ban mwen benediksyon l', anpil moun va di l' mèsi pou mwen.

you also working together for us by your supplication, that the gift through many persons to us, through many, may be thankfully acknowledged for us.

12 Men rezon ki fè m' kontan ak tèt mwen anpil konsa: Konsyans mwen pa repwoche m' anyen pou jan m' te mennen tèt mwen byen nan mitan tout moun, ak kè ouvè, san ipokrizi, sitou nan mitan nou menm, moun Korent, jan Bondye vle l' la. Paske, sa se travay favè Bondye a, se pa t' bon konprann lèzòm ki t'ap dirije mwen.

For our glorying is this: the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom, but in the grace of God, we conducted ourselves in the world, and more abundantly toward you;

13 Nan tout lèt mwen ekri, mwen pa janm di lòt bagay pase sa nou ka li ak sa nou ka konprann. Mwen gen espwa nou ka rive konprann nèt

for no other things do we write to you, but what you either read or also acknowledge, and I hope that you will also acknowledge to the end,

14 sa nou poko fin konprann koulye a: konsa, lè jou Seyè Jezi a va rive, nou ka kontan m' anpil, menm jan mwen menm m'a kontan nou tou.

according as you also acknowledged us in part, that we are your glory, even as also you [are] ours, in the Day of the Lord Jesus;

15 Mwen te sitèlman gen konfyans sou pwen sa a, mwen te kòmanse fè lide ale lakay nou pou nou te ka resevwa benediksyon Bondye a de fwa.

and in this confidence I was intending to come to you before, that you might have a second favor,

16 Men wi, mwen te fè lide pase lakay nou sou wout mwen lè mwen t'aprale Masedwan, epi pou nou te resevwa m' ankò lè m'ap tounen soti la. Nou ta ka ede m' lè sa a kontinye vwayaj mwen pou peyi Jide.

and to pass to Macedonia through you, and to come to you again from Macedonia, and to be sent forward by you to Judea.

17 Lè m' te fè lide sa a, èske mwen te twò prese? Lè m'ap pran yon desizyon, èske se avantaj pa m' m'ap chache tankou tout moun kifè m' ta gen de pawòl?

This, therefore, intending, did I then use the lightness; or the things that I counsel, [did] I counsel according to the flesh, that it may be with me Yes, yes, and No, no?

18 Mwen pran Bondye ki gen yon sèl pawòl la pou temwen, pwomès mwen te fè nou an, se pa t' yon wi ak yon non anmenmtan.

And God [is] faithful, that our word to you did not become Yes and No,

19 Paske, mwen menm, Silas ak Timote, nou pa t' anonse nou Jezikri, Pitit Bondye a, tankou yon moun ki gen de pawòl. Okontrè, se wi ase Jezikri di pou Bondye.

for the Son of God, Jesus Christ, having been preached through us among you—through me and Silvanus and Timotheus—did not become Yes and No, but in Him it has become Yes;

20 Paske se li menm ki fè nou wè tout pwomès Bondye yo se verite. Se poutèt sa tou, gremesi Jezikri, nou ka di amèn lè n'ap fè lwanj Bondye.

for as many as [are] promises of God, in Him [are] the Yes, and in Him the Amen, for glory to God through us;

21 Se Bondye menm ki kenbe m' fèm, ansanm ak nou tout, nan lavi n'ap mennen nan Kris la. Se li menm ki mete nou apa pou li,

and He who is confirming you with us into Christ, and anointed us, [is] God,

22 li menm ki make nou ak letanp li, ki mete Sentespri nan kè nou tankou yon garanti pou tou sa li sere pou nou.

who also sealed us, and gave the deposit of the Spirit in our hearts.

23 Mwen pran Bondye pou temwen sou lavi m': se pou m' te ka menaje nou kifè mwen chanje lide, mwen pa rive Korent.

And I call on God for a witness on my soul, that sparing you, I did not come to Corinth yet;

24 Mwen p'ap chache fòse nou kwè anyen, paske nou deja kanpe fèm nan lafwa. Men, mwen ta renmen travay ansanm ak nou pou fè kè nou kontan.

not that we are lords over your faith, but we are workers together with your joy, for by faith you stand.
