2 Korint 1

1 Mwen menm Pòl, yon moun Bondye menm te deside rele pou sèvi apòt Jezikri, ansanm ak frè nou Timote, m'ap ekri nou tout ki nan legliz Bondye a nan lavil Korent ansanm ak tout pèp Bondye a ki nan tout peyi Lakayi.

Paul, an Apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy, a brother, to the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints who are in all of Achaia:

2 Nou mande Bondye, papa nou, ansanm ak Jezikri, Seyè nou an, pou yo ban nou benediksyon ak kè poze.

Grace and peace to you from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

3 Ann fè lwanj Bondye ki papa Jezikri, Seyè nou an, Papa ki gen kè sansib la, Bondye ki toujou la pou ban nou ankourajman an.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all consolation.

4 Li ankouraje nou nan tout lapenn nou, konsa nou menm tou nou ka ankouraje moun ki nan tout kalite lapenn lè n'a ba yo menm ankourajman nou te resevwa nan men li an.

He consoles us in all our tribulation, so that we too may be able to console those who are in any kind of distress, through the exhortation by which we also are being exhorted by God.

5 Menm jan nou soufri ak Kris la nan tout soufrans li yo, konsa tou, gremesi Kris la, nou resevwa yon gwo ankourajman.

For just as the Passion of Christ abounds in us, so also, through Christ, does our consolation abound.

6 Si mwen menm mwen nan lapenn, se pou nou menm, moun Korent yo, nou ka resevwa ankourajman pou nou ka delivre. Si mwen menm mwen resevwa ankourajman, se pou nou menm nou ka ankouraje, pou nou ka resevwa fòs kouraj pou sipòte avèk pasyans soufrans mwen menm m'ap sipòte a.

So, if we are in tribulation, it is for your exhortation and salvation, or if we are in consolation, it is for your consolation, or if we are exhorted, it is for your exhortation and salvation, which results in the patient endurance of the same passion which we also endure.

7 Se konsa, mwen gen fèm espwa sa a pou nou, moun Korent, paske mwen konn sa byen, menm jan nou soufri ansanm avè m' nan tout lapenn mwen yo, konsa tou n'a resevwa pa nou nan ankourajman Bondye ap ban mwen an.

So may our hope for you be made firm, knowing that, just as you are participants in the suffering, so also shall you be participants in the consolation.

8 Mwen ta renmen, frè m' yo, nou konnen anba ki kalite soufrans mwen te ye nan pwovens Lazi a. Sa te rèd nèt. Mwen pa t' kapab sipòte ankò. Mwen te menm kwè mwen pa t'ap soti vivan.

For we do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, about our tribulation, which happened to us in Asia. For we were weighed down beyond measure, beyond our strength, so that we became weary, even of life itself.

9 Mwen te santi yo te dèyè pou yo te touye mwen. Tou sa rive m' pou m' te aprann pa mete konfyans mwen sou fòs kouraj pa mwen, men pou m' te ka mete tout konfyans mwen nan Bondye ki fè moun mouri leve.

But we had within ourselves the response to death, so that we would not have faith in ourselves, but in God, who raises the dead.

10 Se li menm ki delivre m' anba tout gwo danje lanmò sa yo. Se li menm k'ap toujou la pou delivre m'. Wi, mwen gen espwa l'ap toujou delivre mwen,

He has rescued us, and he is rescuing us, from great peril. In him, we hope that he will continue to rescue us.

11 depi nou menm moun Korent nou ban m' ankourajman, nou lapriyè pou mwen. Se konsa Bondye va tande tout lapriyè sa yo n'ap fè pou mwen, la ban mwen benediksyon l', anpil moun va di l' mèsi pou mwen.

And you are assisting, with your prayers for us, so that from many persons, by that which is a gift in us, thanks may be given through many persons, because of us.

12 Men rezon ki fè m' kontan ak tèt mwen anpil konsa: Konsyans mwen pa repwoche m' anyen pou jan m' te mennen tèt mwen byen nan mitan tout moun, ak kè ouvè, san ipokrizi, sitou nan mitan nou menm, moun Korent, jan Bondye vle l' la. Paske, sa se travay favè Bondye a, se pa t' bon konprann lèzòm ki t'ap dirije mwen.

For our glory is this: the testimony of our conscience, which is found in simplicity of heart and in sincerity toward God. And it is not with worldly wisdom, but in the grace of God, that we have conversed with this world, and more abundantly toward you.

13 Nan tout lèt mwen ekri, mwen pa janm di lòt bagay pase sa nou ka li ak sa nou ka konprann. Mwen gen espwa nou ka rive konprann nèt

For we write nothing else to you other than what you have read and understood. And I hope that you will continue to understand, even unto the end.

14 sa nou poko fin konprann koulye a: konsa, lè jou Seyè Jezi a va rive, nou ka kontan m' anpil, menm jan mwen menm m'a kontan nou tou.

And just as you have acknowledged us in our role, that we are your glory, so also you are ours, unto the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

15 Mwen te sitèlman gen konfyans sou pwen sa a, mwen te kòmanse fè lide ale lakay nou pou nou te ka resevwa benediksyon Bondye a de fwa.

And with this confidence, I wanted to come to you sooner, so that you might have a second grace,

16 Men wi, mwen te fè lide pase lakay nou sou wout mwen lè mwen t'aprale Masedwan, epi pou nou te resevwa m' ankò lè m'ap tounen soti la. Nou ta ka ede m' lè sa a kontinye vwayaj mwen pou peyi Jide.

and through you to pass into Macedonia, and to return to you again from Macedonia, and so be led by you on my way to Judea.

17 Lè m' te fè lide sa a, èske mwen te twò prese? Lè m'ap pran yon desizyon, èske se avantaj pa m' m'ap chache tankou tout moun kifè m' ta gen de pawòl?

Then, although I had intended this, did I act lightly? Or in the things that I consider, do I consider according to the flesh, so that there would be, with me, both Yes and No?

18 Mwen pran Bondye ki gen yon sèl pawòl la pou temwen, pwomès mwen te fè nou an, se pa t' yon wi ak yon non anmenmtan.

But God is faithful, so our word, which was set before you, was not, in him, both Yes and No.

19 Paske, mwen menm, Silas ak Timote, nou pa t' anonse nou Jezikri, Pitit Bondye a, tankou yon moun ki gen de pawòl. Okontrè, se wi ase Jezikri di pou Bondye.

For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you through us, through myself and Sylvanus and Timothy, was not Yes, and No; but was simply Yes in him.

20 Paske se li menm ki fè nou wè tout pwomès Bondye yo se verite. Se poutèt sa tou, gremesi Jezikri, nou ka di amèn lè n'ap fè lwanj Bondye.

For whatever promises are of God are, in him, Yes. For this reason, too, through him: Amen to God for our glory.

21 Se Bondye menm ki kenbe m' fèm, ansanm ak nou tout, nan lavi n'ap mennen nan Kris la. Se li menm ki mete nou apa pou li,

Now the One who confirms us with you in Christ, and who has anointed us, is God.

22 li menm ki make nou ak letanp li, ki mete Sentespri nan kè nou tankou yon garanti pou tou sa li sere pou nou.

And he has sealed us, and he has placed the pledge of the Spirit in our hearts.

23 Mwen pran Bondye pou temwen sou lavi m': se pou m' te ka menaje nou kifè mwen chanje lide, mwen pa rive Korent.

But I call God as a witness to my soul, that I was lenient with you, in that I did not return to Corinth:

24 Mwen p'ap chache fòse nou kwè anyen, paske nou deja kanpe fèm nan lafwa. Men, mwen ta renmen travay ansanm ak nou pou fè kè nou kontan.

not because we have dominion over your faith, but because we are assistants of your joy. For by faith you stand.
