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!
Having, then, these promises, beloved, may we cleanse ourselves from every defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting sanctification in the fear 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.
receive us; no one did we wrong; no one did we ruin; no one did we defraud;
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 do not say [it] to condemn you, for I have said before that you are in our hearts to die together and to live 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.
great [is] my freedom of speech to you, great my glory on your behalf; I have been filled with the comfort, I hyper-abound with the joy on 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 we also, having come to Macedonia, our flesh has had no relaxation, but on every side we are in tribulation: fightings outside, fears 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 He who is comforting the cast-down—God—He comforted us in the coming 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 only in his coming, but also in the comfort with which he was comforted over you, declaring to us your longing desire, your lamentation, your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced the 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.
because even if I made you sorry in the letter, I do not regret—if even I regretted—for I perceive that the letter, even if for an hour, made you sorry.
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 now rejoice, not that you were made sorry, but that you were made sorry to conversion, for you were made sorry toward God, that you might receive damage from us in nothing;
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 sorrow toward God works conversion to salvation without regret, and the sorrow of the world works 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 behold, this same thing—your being made sorry toward God—how much diligence it works in you! But defense, but displeasure, but fear, but longing desire, but zeal, but revenge; in everything you approved yourselves to be pure in the 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.
If, then, I also wrote to you—not for his cause who did wrong, nor for his cause who suffered wrong, but for our diligence in your behalf being revealed to you before God—
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.
because of this we have been comforted in your comfort, and more abundantly the more we rejoiced in the joy of Titus, that his spirit has been refreshed from 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.
because if I have boasted anything to him in your behalf, I was not put to shame; but as we spoke to you all things in truth, so also our boasting before Titus became truth,
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 yearnings are more abundantly toward you, remembering the obedience of you all, how you received him with fear and trembling;
16 Mwen kontan nèt mwen ka toujou konte sou nou.
I rejoice, therefore, that in everything I have courage in you.
