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 therefore these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness 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.
Open your hearts to us. We wronged no one. We corrupted no one. We took advantage of no one.
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 say this not to condemn you, for I have said before, that you are in our hearts to die together and 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 boldness of speech toward you. Great is my boasting on your behalf. I am filled with comfort. I overflow with joy in all our affliction.
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 even when we had come into Macedonia, our flesh had no relief, but we were afflicted on every side. Fightings were outside. Fear was inside.
6 Men, Bondye ki bay moun ki nan lafliksyon yo kouraj te ban m' kouraj lè l' te voye Tit vin jwenn mwen.
Nevertheless, he who comforts the lowly, God, comforted us by 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 by his coming only, but also by the comfort with which he was comforted in you, while he told us of your longing, your mourning, and your zeal for me; so that I rejoiced still 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 sorry with my letter, I do not regret it, though I did regret it. For I see that my letter made you sorry, though just for a while.
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 repentance. For you were made sorry in a godly way, that you might suffer loss by 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 godly sorrow works repentance to salvation, which brings no regret. But 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 look at this very thing, that you were made sorry in a godly way. What diligence it produced in you, what clearing of yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what longing, what zeal, what vindication. In everything you proved yourselves to be innocent 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.
So although I wrote to you, I wrote not for his cause that did the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered the wrong, but that your earnest care for us might be revealed in you in the sight of 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.
Therefore we have been comforted. In our comfort we rejoiced the more exceedingly for the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been 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 in anything I have boasted to him on your behalf, I was not disappointed. But as we spoke all things to you in truth, so our glorying also which I made before Titus was found to be 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.
His affection is more abundantly toward you, while he remembers all of your obedience, how with fear and trembling you received him.
16 Mwen kontan nèt mwen ka toujou konte sou nou.
I rejoice that in everything I am of good courage concerning you.
