2 Korint 6
1 Se poutèt sa, mwen menm k'ap travay ak Bondye, mwen mande nou pou nou pa kite favè nou resevwa nan men Bondye a gaspiye.
And working together also we call upon [you] that ye receive not in vain the grace of God —
2 Paske, nan Liv la Bondye te di: Mwen te koute ou, lè lè a te rive pou m' te fè ou gras la. Mwen te pote ou sekou, lè jou a te rive pou m' te delivre ou la. Enben, koulye a, men lè a rive pou n' resevwa favè Bondye a; se jòdi a menm nou ka jwenn delivrans.
for He saith, 'In an acceptable time I did hear thee, and in a day of salvation I did help thee, lo, now [is] a well-accepted time; lo, now, a day of salvation,' —
3 Mwen pa ta vle pesonn jwenn anyen pou kritike nan travay mwen. Se poutèt sa, m'ap chache mwayen nan travay mwen pou m' pa bay pesonn okazyon tonbe nan peche.
in nothing giving any cause of offence, that the ministration may be not blamed,
4 Okontrè, nan tout bagay, mwen fè tout moun wè se Bondye m'ap sèvi. Se avèk anpil pasyans mwen sipòte tout kalite soufrans, tout kalite lafliksyon ak tout kalite kè sere.
but in everything recommending ourselves as God's ministrants; in much patience, in tribulations, in necessities, in distresses,
5 Yo bat mwen, yo mete m' nan prizon. Yo moute tèt moun sou do mwen, yo fè m' fè travo fòse. Yo fè m' pase nwit san dòmi, yo fè m' rete san manje.
in stripes, in imprisonments, in insurrections, in labours, in watchings, in fastings,
6 Mwen fè tout moun wè se moun k'ap sèvi Bondye mwen ye pou jan m' mache dwat, pou jan m' konn verite a, pou jan m' gen pasyans ak bon kè, pou jan m' kite Sentespri dirije lavi m', pou jan m' renmen tout moun ak tout kè mwen,
in pureness, in knowledge, in long-suffering, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in love unfeigned,
7 pou jan m'ap mache bay verite a, pou jan Bondye soutni m' ak pouvwa li. Mwen sèvi ak tout bagay ki dwat tankou zam, kit pou atake, kit pou defann tèt mwen.
in the word of truth, in the power of God, through the armour of the righteousness, on the right and on the left,
8 Yon lè yo respekte mwen, yon lòt lè yo fè m' wont. Yon lè yo pale byen pou mwen, yon lòt lè yo pale m' mal. Yo fè m' pase pou moun k'ap bay manti, men se verite a m'ap di.
through glory and dishonour, through evil report and good report, as leading astray, and true;
9 Yo fè m' pase pou moun pesonn pa konnen, men tout moun konnen m' byen pwòp. Yo fè m' pase pou moun ki fin mouri, men mwen byen vivan. Yo bat mwen, men yo pa touye mwen.
as unknown, and recognized; as dying, and lo, we live; as chastened, and not put to death;
10 Y'ap fè m' lapenn, men mwen toujou gen kè kontan. Mwen sanblè m' pòv, men mwen fè anpil moun rich. Mwen sanble m' pa gen anyen, men se mwen menm ki gen tout bagay.
as sorrowful, and always rejoicing; as poor, and making many rich; as having nothing, and possessing all things.
11 Zanmi m' yo, moun Korent, mwen pale kare avè nou, mwen louvri tout kè m' ban nou.
Our mouth hath been open unto you, O Corinthians, our heart hath been enlarged!
12 Se pa mwen ki te fèmen kè m' ban nou, se nou menm ki te fèmen kè nou ban mwen.
ye are not straitened in us, and ye are straitened in your [own] bowels,
13 Se poutèt sa, m'ap pale avè nou tankou si nou te pitit mwen. Santiman mwen gen pou nou an se li menm tou pou nou gen pou mwen: louvri tout kè nou ban mwen.
and [as] a recompense of the same kind, (as to children I say [it], ) be ye enlarged — also ye!
14 Pa mete tèt nou ansanm ak moun ki pa gen konfyans nan Kris la: Se pa sosyete konsa ki bon pou nou. Ki jan nou ta vle wè sa pou bagay ki bon, bagay ki dwat, mele ak bagay ki mal? Ki jan pou limyè ta ka mache ak fènwa?
Become not yoked with others — unbelievers, for what partaking [is there] to righteousness and lawlessness?
15 Kouman Kris la ta ka antann li ak Satan? Osinon, kisa yon moun ki kwè gen pou wè ansanm ak moun ki pa kwè?
and what fellowship to light with darkness? and what concord to Christ with Belial? or what part to a believer with an unbeliever?
16 Kisa kay Bondye a gen pou wè ak zidòl? Nou se kay Bondye vivan an, pa vre? Se Bondye menm ki di sa: M'a vin rete, m'a viv nan mitan yo. M'a tounen Bondye yo, y'a tounen pèp mwen.
and what agreement to the sanctuary of God with idols? for ye are a sanctuary of the living God, according as God said — 'I will dwell in them, and will walk among [them], and I will be their God, and they shall be My people,
17 Se poutèt sa, Bondye te di nou: Soti nan mitan moun sa yo. Pa mele ak yo. Pa manyen anyen nou pa dwe manyen. Lè sa a, mwen menm, m'a resevwa nou.
wherefore, come ye forth out of the midst of them, and be separated, saith the Lord, and an unclean thing do not touch, and I — I will receive you,
18 M'a tankou yon papa pou nou. Nou menm, n'a tankou pitit gason m' ak pitit fi mwen. Se Mèt ki gen tout pouvwa a ki di sa.
and I will be to you for a Father, and ye — ye shall be to Me for sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.'
