2 Korint 5
1 Wi, nou konnen lè kò nou gen sou latè a va demoli tankou yon kay, Bondye sere yon lòt kay nan syèl la, yon kay byen solid k'ap la pou tout tan. Se li menm menm k'ap bati kay sa a pou nou. (aiōnios g166)
We know that if the earthly dwelling that we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God. It is a house not made by human hands, but an eternal house, in heaven. (aiōnios g166)
2 Koulye a m'ap plenn anpil, sitèlman m' anvi antre nan kay mwen gen nan syèl la.
For in this tent we groan, longing to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling.
3 Konsa, lè m'a antre ladan l', yo p'ap jwenn mwen toutouni.
We long for this because by putting it on we will not be found to be naked.
4 Wi, toutotan m'ap viv nan kò mwen gen sou latè a, m'ap plenn tankou moun ki anba yon chay. Sa pa vle di mwen ta renmen wete kò sa a sou mwen. Men, mwen ta renmen pito mete kò mwen gen nan syèl la sou mwen. Se konsa, tou sa ki gen pou mouri nan nou pral disparèt nan lavi.
For indeed while we are in this tent, we groan, being burdened. We do not want to be unclothed. Instead, we want to be clothed, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.
5 Se Bondye menm ki pare nou pou chanjman sa a. Li ban nou Sentespri l' tankou yon garanti pou tout byen li sere pou nou yo.
The one who prepared us for this very thing is God, who gave us the Spirit as a guarantee of what is to come.
6 Se pou sa, nou toujou gen gwo kouraj. Nou konnen toutotan nou nan kò sa a nou lwen Seyè a toujou.
Therefore always be confident. Be aware that while we are at home in the body, we are away from the Lord.
7 Si n'ap mache, se pa paske nou wè tout bagay klè, men se paske nou gen konfyans nan Kris la.
For we walk by faith, not by sight.
8 Nou gen gwo kouraj epi nou ta pito kite kò sa a pou n' al rete toupre Seyè a.
So we have confidence. We would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord.
9 Men, anvan tout bagay, nou vle fè Seyè a plezi, kit nou nan kò sa a, kit nou kite li.
So we make it our goal, whether we are at home or away, to please him.
10 Paske, nou tout nou gen pou n' konparèt devan Kris la pou li ka jije nou. Lè sa a, chak moun va resevwa sa ki pou li dapre byen osinon dapre mal li te fè antan l' te nan kò sa a.
For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for the things done in the body, whether for good or for bad.
11 Mwen konnen sa ki rele gen krentif pou Bondye, se poutèt sa m'ap chache mennen lèzòm vin kwè nan sa m'ap di. Bondye pou tèt pa l' gen tan konnen m' nèt. Mwen ta swete nou menm nan fon kè nou, nou konnen m' tou.
Therefore, knowing the fear of the Lord, we persuade people. What we are is clearly seen by God. I expect that it is also clear to your conscience.
12 Pa mete nan lide nou mwen vin pale nou byen sou tèt mwen ankò. Men, mwen ta renmen ban nou okazyon pou nou kontan m' anpil, pou nou ka jwenn repons pou nou bay moun ki pa gen bon kalite nan kè yo tout bon, men k'ap fè grandizè pou bagay ki gen bèl aparans.
We are not trying to persuade you again to view us as sincere. Instead, we are giving you a reason to be proud of us, so you may have an answer for those who boast about appearances but not about what is in the heart.
13 Si jan yo di l' la mwen fou, se pou Bondye mwen fou. Men, si mwen gen tout bon sans mwen, se pou nou menm, moun Korent, mwen konsa.
For if we are out of our minds, it is for God; and if we are in our right minds, it is for your sake.
14 Paske, se kalite renmen Kris la gen pou nou an k'ap dirije m': mwen gen konviksyon sa a, si yon sèl moun te mouri pou tout lòt yo, sa vle di tout lòt yo mouri ansanm avè li.
For the love of Christ compels us, because we are certain of this: That one person died for all, and that therefore all have died.
15 Li mouri pou tout moun. Konsa, moun k'ap viv yo p'ap viv pou tèt pa yo ankò, men y'ap viv pou moun ki te mouri epi ki te leve soti vivan nan lanmò pou yo a.
He died for all, so that those who live should live no longer for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised.
16 Se poutèt sa, depi koulye a, mwen pa konsidere pesonn sou laparans, tankou lèzòm fè l' la. Si yon lè mwen te konsidere Kris la sou laparans tankou lèzòm fè l' la, koulye a mwen pa konnen l' nan jan sa a ankò.
For this reason, from now on we do not judge anyone according to human standards, even though we once regarded Christ in this way. But now we do not judge anyone in this way any longer.
17 Si yon moun ap viv nan Kris la, li vin yon lòt moun. Bagay lontan yo disparèt, se lòt bagay nèf ki pran plas yo koulye a.
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. See, they have become new.
18 Tou sa soti nan Bondye ki fè nou vin zanmi avè l' ankò, gremesi Kris la. Se li menm tou ki fè m' konfyans, ki ban m' travay sa a pou mennen lèzòm vini byen avè l' ankò.
All these things are from God. He reconciled us to himself through Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation.
19 Paske nan Kris la, Bondye t'ap fè tou sa li te kapab pou fè moun vin byen avè l' ankò. Li pa t' gade sou peche lèzòm te fè. Se li menm ki mete mwen la pou fè lèzòm konnen ki jan l'ap fè yo byen avè l' ankò.
That is, in Christ God is reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them. He is entrusting to us the message of reconciliation.
20 Se sak fè mwen pale nan non Kris la menm ki te voye m', tankou si se Bondye menm k'ap pale nan bouch mwen pou di nou: tanpri, nan non Kris la, tounen vin byen ak Bondye ankò.
So we are appointed as representatives of Christ, as though God were making his appeal through us. We plead with you, for the sake of Christ: “Be reconciled to God!”
21 Kris la pa t' janm fè okenn peche, men Bondye fè l' pran sò nou sou li, yo trete l' tankou yon moun ki fè peche. Konsa, lè nou fè yon sèl kò ak Kris la, Bondye fè nou gras.
He made Christ become the sacrifice for our sin. He is the one who never sinned. He did this so that we might become the righteousness of God in him.
