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 emissary of Messiah Yeshua through the will of God, and Timothy our brother, to the assembly of God which is at Corinth, with all the holy ones who are in the whole of Achaia:

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

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Yeshua the Messiah.

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 Yeshua the Messiah, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,

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.

who comforts us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted 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 as the sufferings of Messiah abound to us, even so our comfort also abounds through Messiah.

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.

But if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation. If we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer.

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.

Our hope for you is steadfast, knowing that, since you are partakers of the sufferings, so you are also of the comfort.

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 don’t desire to have you uninformed, brothers, concerning our affliction which happened to us in Asia: that we were weighed down exceedingly, beyond our power, so much that we despaired even of life.

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.

Yes, we ourselves have had the sentence of death within ourselves, that we should not trust 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,

who delivered us out of so great a death, and does deliver, on whom we have set our hope that he will also still deliver 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.

you also helping together on our behalf by your supplication; that, for the gift given to us by means of many, thanks may be given by many persons on your behalf.

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 boasting is this: the testimony of our conscience that in holiness and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God, we behaved ourselves in the 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 no other things to you than what you read or even acknowledge, and I hope you will acknowledge to 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.

as also you acknowledged us in part—that we are your boasting, even as you also are ours, in the day of our Lord Yeshua.

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.

In this confidence, I was determined to come first to you, that you might have a second benefit,

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 by you to pass into Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come to you, and to be sent forward by you on my journey 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?

When I therefore planned this, did I show fickleness? Or the things that I plan, do I plan according to the flesh, that with me there should be the “Yes, yes” and the “No, 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 as God is faithful, our word toward you was not “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, Yeshua the Messiah, who was preached among you by us—by me, Silvanus, and Timothy—was not “Yes and no,” but in him is “Yes.”

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 however many are the promises of God, in him is the “Yes.” Therefore also through him is the “Amen”, to the glory of God through us.

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 he who establishes us with you in Messiah and 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.

who also sealed us and gave us the down payment 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 for a witness to my soul, that to spare you, I didn’t come 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.

We don’t control your faith, but are fellow workers with you for your joy. For you stand firm in faith.
