< 2 Korint 7 >
1 Mezanmi, se pou nou wi Bondye te fè tout pwomès sa yo. Ann kenbe kò nou ak nanm nou nan kondisyon pou n' sèvi Bondye! Ann voye tout bagay ki ka wete nou nan kondisyon sa a jete! Ann chache viv apa pou Bondye! Ann viv nan krentif li!
Seing then we haue these promises, dearely beloued, let vs clense our selues from all filthinesse of the flesh and spirit, and finish our sanctification in the feare of God.
2 Tanpri, ban m' yon ti plas nan kè nou! (Konprann mwen byen). Mwen pa fè pesonn okenn mal, pesonn pa ka di mwen lakòz yo pèdi pozisyon yo. Pesonn pa ka di mwen pwofite sou yo.
Receiue vs: we haue done wrong to no man: we haue corrupted no man: we haue defrauded no man.
3 Mwen pa di nou sa pou kondannen nou. Mwen deja di nou sa: sitèlman mwen renmen nou, mwen pote nou sou kè mwen pou lavi ak pou lanmò.
I speake it not to your condemnation: for I haue said before, that ye are in our hearts, to die and liue together.
4 Mwen gen anpil konfyans nan nou, mwen kontan nou anpil. Nan mitan tout soufrans mwen yo, mwen toujou gen anpil kouraj, kè m' kontan nèt.
I vse great boldnesse of speach toward you: I reioyce greatly in you: I am filled with comfort, and am exceeding ioyous in all our tribulation.
5 Se konsa, depi mwen te rive nan peyi Masedwan, kè m' pa t' poze menm: mwen jwenn traka tout jan. Yon bò mwen te nan gwo diskisyon ak kèk moun, yon lòt bò mwen te pè nan kè mwen.
For when we were come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were troubled on euery side, fightings without, and terrours within.
6 Men, Bondye ki bay moun ki nan lafliksyon yo kouraj te ban m' kouraj lè l' te voye Tit vin jwenn mwen.
But God, that comforteth the abiect, comforted vs at the comming of Titus:
7 Se pa rive Tit la ase ki te ankouraje mwen. Sa te remoute kouraj mwen anpil tou lè li rakonte m' jan nou menm nou te ba li ankourajman. Li fè m' konnen jan nou anvi wè m', jan sa fè nou lapenn pou mwen, jan nou pare pou nou pran defans mwen. Se sak fè, koulye a mwen pi kontan toujou.
And not by his comming onely, but also by the consolation wherewith he was comforted of you, when he tolde vs your great desire, your mourning, your feruent minde to me warde, so that I reioyced much more.
8 Menm si lèt mwen te ekri nou an te fè nou lapenn, mwen pa règrèt sa. Mwen te regrèt mwen te ekri l' lè m' te wè jan l' te fè nou lapenn lè sa a.
For though I made you sorie with a letter, I repent not, though I did repent: for I perceiue that the same epistle made you sorie, though it were but for a season.
9 Men koulye a, kè m' kontan, pa paske mwen te fè nou lapenn, men paske lapenn nou te genyen an te fè nou chanje kondit. Nou te sipòte lapenn sa a jan Bondye vle l' la. Se konsa mwen pa fè nou okenn mal.
I nowe reioyce, not that ye were sorie, but that ye sorowed to repentance: for ye sorowed godly, so that in nothing ye were hurt by vs.
10 Paske, lè yon moun sipòte lapenn li jan Bondye vle l' la, sa chanje kè li pou l' ka rive sove. Pa gen anyen la a pou n' règrèt. Men, lapenn nou sipòte jan tout moun fè l' la, se touye l'ap touye nou.
For godly sorowe causeth repentance vnto saluation, not to be repented of: but the worldly sorowe causeth death.
11 Nou menm, nou sipòte lapenn nou an jan Bondye vle l' la. Koulye a, gade sa l' fè pou nou! Gade ki jan li fè nou pran sitiyasyon an pou bagay serye! Gade ak ki lanpresman nou soti pou defann tèt nou? Gade jan n' te fache! Gade jan n' te pè! Gade jan nou anvi wè m' ankò! Gade jan nou aktif, jan nou prese peni moun ki te fè sa ki mal la! Nou moutre nou pa t' koupab nan tout bagay sa yo.
For beholde, this thing that ye haue bene godly sory, what great care it hath wrought in you: yea, what clearing of yourselues: yea, what indignation: yea, what feare: yea, howe great desire: yea, what a zeale: yea, what reuenge: in all things ye haue shewed your selues, that ye are pure in this matter.
12 Se pa pou moun ki te fè sa ki mal la, ni pou moun yo te fè mal la mwen te ekri nou. Mwen ekri nou pou n' te ka wè jan nou devwe pou mwen devan Bondye. Se poutèt sa, sa te ban m' anpil ankourajman.
Wherefore, though I wrote vnto you, I did not it for his cause that had done the wrong, neither for his cause that had the iniurie, but that our care toward you in the sight of God might appeare vnto you.
13 Se pa ankouraje sèlman mwen te ankouraje. Mwen te pi kontan ankò lè m' wè kouman Tit te kontan pou jan nou te ba li ankourajman.
Therefore we were comforted, because ye were comforted: but rather we reioyced much more for the ioye of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all.
14 Mwen te pale byen pou nou anpil ak Tit, epi nou pa fè m' wont. Mwen pa janm ban nou manti lè m'ap pale ak nou. Se konsa, sa m' te di Tit sou nou an se te verite a tout bon.
For if that I haue boasted any thing to him of you, I haue not bene ashamed: but as I haue spoken vnto you all things in trueth, euen so our boasting vnto Titus was true.
15 Koulye a, li vin renmen nou plis toujou lè l' chonje jan nou tout nou te dispoze obeyi, jan nou te resevwa l' avèk krentif sitèlman nou t'ap tranble.
And his inwarde affection is more aboundant toward you, when he remembreth the obedience of you all, and howe with feare and trembling ye receiued him.
16 Mwen kontan nèt mwen ka toujou konte sou nou.
I reioyce therefore that I may put my confidence in you in all things.
