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 brethren, beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand ye in the Lord, beloved.
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.
Euodia I exhort, and Syntyche I exhort, to be of the same mind 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.
and I ask also thee, genuine yoke-fellow, be assisting those women who in the good news did strive along with me, with Clement also, and the others, 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 the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice;
5 Se pou tout moun konnen nou se moun ki gen bon kè. Seyè a ap vini anvan lontan.
let your forbearance be known to all men; 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.
for nothing be anxious, but in everything by prayer, and by supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known unto 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 is surpassing all understanding, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts 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.
As to the rest, brethren, as many things as are true, as many as [are] grave, as many as [are] righteous, as many as [are] pure, as many as [are] lovely, as many as [are] of good report, if any worthiness, and if any praise, these things think upon;
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.
the things that also ye did learn, and receive, and hear, and saw in me, those do, and the God of the peace shall 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.
And I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at length ye flourished again in caring for me, for which also ye were caring, and lacked 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.
not that in respect of want I say [it], for I did learn in the things in which I am — to be content;
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 have known both to be abased, and I have known to abound; in everything and in all things I have been initiated, both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to be in want.
13 Nenpòt sitiyasyon ki parèt devan mwen, m'ap degaje m', gremesi Kris la ki ban mwen fòs kouraj.
For all things I have strength, in Christ's strengthening me;
14 Malgre sa, nou byen fèt ede m' nan traka m' yo.
but ye did well, having communicated with my tribulation;
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.
and ye have known, even ye Philippians, that in the beginning of the good news when I went forth from Macedonia, no assembly did communicate with me in regard to giving and receiving except ye only;
16 Lè m' te lavil Tesalonik, an de fwa nou voye sa m' te bezwen ban mwen.
because also in Thessalonica, both once and again to my need ye sent;
17 Se pa dèyè kado mwen ye. Men, mwen ta renmen Bondye mete sou sa nou gen deja.
not that I seek after the gift, but I seek after the fruit that is overflowing 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.
and I have all things, and abound; I am filled, having received from Epaphroditus the things from you — an odour of a sweet smell — a sacrifice acceptable, well-pleasing to God:
19 Bondye ki rich anpil la va ban nou tou sa nou bezwen nan Jezikri.
and my God shall supply all your need, according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus;
and to God, even our Father, [is] the glory — to the ages of the ages. 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.
Salute ye every saint in Christ Jesus; there salute you the brethren with me;
22 Tout pèp Bondye a ki isit la, espesyalman sa ki nan palè Seza a, voye bonjou pou nou.
there salute you all the saints, and specially those of Caesar's house;
23 Se pou benediksyon Jezikri, Seyè a, toujou avè nou.
the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [is] with you all. Amen.
