2 Korint 4
1 Konsa, se Bondye menm, nan kè sansib li gen pou mwen an, ki te renmèt mwen travay sa a pou m' fè. Se poutèt sa, mwen pa janm pèdi kouraj.
Therefore, seeing we have this ministry, even as we obtained mercy, we do not faint.
2 Mwen voye tout bagay lèd lèzòm ap fè an kachèt yo jete. Mwen pa fè okenn riz. Mwen pa chanje anyen nan pawòl Bondye a. Okontrè, mwen fè tout moun konnen verite a jan l' ye a. Se konsa bagay sa yo rekòmande mwen devan Bondye bay tout moun ki gen konsyans.
But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but by the manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.
3 Si malgre sa, bon nouvèl m'ap anonse a pa klè toujou, li pa klè pou moun k'ap peri yo.
Even if our Good News is veiled, it is veiled in those who are dying,
4 Yo pa kwè paske sa yo pran pou Bondye nan lemonn lan bouche lespri yo. Li enpoze yo wè limyè bon nouvèl la. Se bon nouvèl sa a ki fè nou konnen pouvwa Kris la, li menm ki pòtre Bondye. (aiōn g165)
in whom the god of this age (aiōn g165) has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the Good News of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn on them.
5 Konprann sa byen, se pa tèt pa m' m'ap fè nou konnen: men se Jezikri, Seyè a, m'ap fè nou konnen. Mwen menm mwen di nou se sèvi m'ap sèvi nou poutèt Jezi.
For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake,
6 Bondye ki te di: Mwen vle pou limyè a klere nan mitan fènwa a, se li menm tou ki fè limyè li a klere nan kè nou pou li fè nou konnen pouvwa li ki yon limyè ki klere byen bèl nan figi Kris la.
seeing it is God who said, “Light will shine out of darkness,” who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
7 Men, nou tout k'ap pote richès Bondye sa a nan kè nou, nou tankou veso ki fèt an tè. Tou sa se pou tout moun ka wè kokenn chenn pouvwa sa a pa soti nan nou, men se nan Bondye li soti.
But we have this treasure in clay vessels, that the exceeding greatness of the power may be of God and not from ourselves.
8 Mwen jwenn tout kalite fikilte; men, mwen pa janm kwense nèt. Mwen konn rive nan sitiyasyon mwen pa konn ni sa pou m' fè, ni sa pou m' di. Men, mwen pa janm pèdi espwa.
We are pressed on every side, yet not crushed; perplexed, yet not to despair;
9 Yo pèsekite m', men Bondye pa janm lage mwen. Mwen pran gwo so, men mwen pa rete atè a.
pursued, yet not forsaken; struck down, yet not destroyed;
10 Se konsa, kote m' pase mwen pote soufrans lanmò Jezi a nan kò mwen, pou tout moun ka wè pouvwa lavi Jezi a ap travay nan kò m' tou.
always carrying in the body the putting to death of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.
11 Nan lavi m', se tout tan m'ap pase toupre lanmò poutèt Jezi, pou pouvwa lavi Jezi a ka parèt aklè nan kò mwen ki la pou mouri.
For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus may be revealed in our mortal flesh.
12 Konsa, lanmò ap travay nan mwen, men se lavi k'ap travay nan nou menm moun Korent.
So then death works in us, but life in you.
13 Men sa ki ekri nan Liv la: Mwen te gen konfyans, se poutèt sa mwen te pale. Mwen menm tou, mwen gen menm konfyans sa a, se poutèt sa m'ap pale.
But having the same spirit of faith, according to that which is written, “I believed, and therefore I spoke.” We also believe, and therefore we also speak,
14 Mwen konnen Bondye ki te fè Seyè Jezi leve soti vivan nan lanmò a, li gen pou l' fè m' tounen vivan ankò ansanm ak Jezi, li gen pou l' fè m' parèt ansanm ak nou devan li.
knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus, and will present us with you.
15 Se poutèt nou menm, moun Korent, kifè tout bagay sa yo rive, paske fòk gen plis moun toujou k'ap resevwa favè Bondye a pou sa gen plis moun tou k'ap lapriyè pou di Bondye mèsi pou pouvwa li.
For all things are for your sakes, that the grace, being multiplied through the many, may cause the thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.
16 Se sak fè mwen pa janm dekouraje. Menm si kò m' ap bese chak jou, lespri m' ap vin pi fèm chak jou tou.
Therefore we do not faint, but though our outward person is decaying, yet our inward person is renewed day by day.
17 Sa m'ap sibi koulye a, se yon ti soufrans ki la pou pase. Men, soufrans sa a ap pare pou mwen yon bèl pouvwa k'ap la pou tout tan, pouvwa ki depase ti soufrans sa a anpil. (aiōnios g166)
For our light affliction, which is for the moment, works for us more and more exceedingly a consummate (aiōnios g166) weight of glory,
18 Paske, mwen p'ap konsidere bagay moun wè, men bagay moun pa wè. Sa moun wè, se bagay ki pa la pou lontan, men sa moun pa wè, se bagay ki la pou tout tan. (aiōnios g166)
while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are consummate (aiōnios g166).
