Filip 4
1 Se pou sa, frè m' yo ak zanmi m' yo, nou menm mwen anvi wè anpil la, nou menm ki fè kè m' kontan an, nou menm ki yon lwanj pou mwen an, se konsa pou nou kenbe fèm nan lavi n'ap mennen ansanm nan Seyè a.
So then, my brothers, beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, do stand fast in Sovereign in this way, dear ones.
2 M'ap ekri de ti mo pou Evodi ak Sentich: Tanpri souple, mete nou dakò tankou de sè k'ap viv ansanm nan Seyè a.
I urge Euodia and I urge Syntyche to come to agreement in the Lord.
3 Ou menm tou k'ap travay ansanm avè m', mwen mande ou pou ou ede yo, paske de medam sa yo te travay di pou fè konnen bon nouvèl la ansanm ak Kleman ak tout lòt moun ki te travay ansanm avè mwen yo. Yo tout gen non yo ekri nan Liv Bondye a ki gen non moun ki gen lavi a.
Yes, I urge you too, genuine yokefellow, help these women who labored with me in the Gospel, and with Clement and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the Book of Life.
4 Se pou nou toujou kontan nan lavi n'ap mennen ansanm nan Seyè a. M'ap repete l' ankò: Fè kè nou kontan anpil.
Rejoice in Sovereign always; again I say, rejoice!
5 Se pou tout moun konnen nou se moun ki gen bon kè. Seyè a ap vini anvan lontan.
Let your forbearing spirit be evident to all; the Lord is near.
6 Pa bay kò nou traka pou anyen. Men, nan tout sikonstans mande Bondye tou sa nou bezwen nan lapriyè. Toujou chonje di l' mèsi tou lè n'ap lapriyè.
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition along with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;
7 Konsa, Bondye va ban nou kè poze nan jan pa l', bagay lèzòm pa ka konprann; la kenbe kè nou ak lespri nou fèm nan Jezikri.
and the peace of God, that surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
8 Pou fini, frè m' yo, mete lide nou sou bagay ki bon, ki merite lwanj: bagay ki vre, ki kòrèk, ki dwat, ki bèl, ki p'ap fè nou wont.
Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are commendable—whatever is of excellent character and whatever is praiseworthy—ponder such things.
9 Fè tou sa mwen te moutre nou, ni sa nou te resevwa nan menm m', ni sa nou te tande m' di ak tou sa nou te wè m' fè. Konsa, Bondye k'ap bay kè poze a va toujou la avè nou.
Put into practice the things that you learned, received, heard and saw in me, and the God of peace will be with you.
10 Mwen pa t' manke kontan nan lavi m'ap mennen ansanm ak Seyè a, paske nou vin fè m' wè ankò jan nou pran ka mwen. Sa pa vle di nou te lage m' non. Men, nou pa t' ankò jwenn okazyon fè m' wè jan nou fèb pou mwen.
I rejoice in the Lord greatly that you have renewed your concern for me once again; of course you were concerned, just lacked the opportunity.
11 Si nou wè m'ap pale konsa, se pa paske koulye a mwen nan nesesite. Paske nan lavi, m' aprann kontante tèt mwen ak sa m' genyen.
I am not saying this because of lack, since I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.
12 Mwen konnen sa ki rele viv nan mizè, mwen konnen sa ki rele viv nan richès. Kit mwen pa gen ase, kit mwen gen plis pase sa m' bezwen, nan tout sikonstans m' aprann kontante tèt mwen toupatou ak sa mwen genyen.
I know what it is to be restricted, and I know what it is to have an abundance; everywhere and in every way I have been initiated both into being well fed and into being hungry, both into having plenty and into having need.
13 Nenpòt sitiyasyon ki parèt devan mwen, m'ap degaje m', gremesi Kris la ki ban mwen fòs kouraj.
I can handle anything through Christ who strengthens me.
14 Malgre sa, nou byen fèt ede m' nan traka m' yo.
Nevertheless you have done well in sharing with me in my trial.
15 Nou menm, moun lavil Filip, nou byen konnen sa m' pral di nou la a. Lè mwen kite peyi Masedwan, lè yo te fenk konmanse ap pibliye bon nouvèl la, se nou menm sèl legliz ki te ede mwen. Se nou menm sèl ki te separe sa nou genyen avè m' pou sa m' te fè pou nou.
Now you Philippians know very well that in the beginning of the Gospel, when I left Macedonia, no congregation shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving but you only.
16 Lè m' te lavil Tesalonik, an de fwa nou voye sa m' te bezwen ban mwen.
Yes, even in Thessalonica, both once and again, you sent aid for my need.
17 Se pa dèyè kado mwen ye. Men, mwen ta renmen Bondye mete sou sa nou gen deja.
Not that I want the gift, but I want the fruit that is being added to your account.
18 Wi, mwen resevwa tou sa nou te voye ban mwen, pou di vre, sa depase sa m' te bezwen. Koulye a, avèk Epafwodit ki pote kado nou yo, mwen gen tou sa m' bezwen. Kado nou yo se tankou yon ofrann ki santi bon, yon ofrann bèt Bondye ap asepte paske sa fè l' plezi.
I have received everything and have plenty; I am well supplied, having received from Epaphroditus the things you sent, a fragrant aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, well pleasing to God.
19 Bondye ki rich anpil la va ban nou tou sa nou bezwen nan Jezikri.
My God will supply every need of yours according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
Now to our God and Father be the glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
21 Bonjou pou pèp Bondye a k'ap viv ansanm nan Jezikri. Tout frè ki la avè m' yo voye bonjou pou nou.
Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brothers who are with me greet you.
22 Tout pèp Bondye a ki isit la, espesyalman sa ki nan palè Seza a, voye bonjou pou nou.
All the saints greet you, but especially those who are of Caesar's household.
23 Se pou benediksyon Jezikri, Seyè a, toujou avè nou.
The grace of the Sovereign, Jesus Christ, be with you all. Amen.
