1 Korint 3
1 Epi mwen, frè m yo, mwen pa t kab pale avèk nou menm tankou moun ki plen lespri Bondye, men tankou moun lachè yo, tankou ti zanfan piti nan Kris yo.
Brothers, I couldn’t speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly, as to babies in Christ.
2 Mwen te bannou lèt pou nou bwè olye gwo manje; paske nou potko kab resevwa l. Anverite, menm koulye a, nou poko kapab,
I fed you with milk, not with solid food, for you weren’t yet ready. Indeed, you aren’t ready even now,
3 pwiske nou toujou nan lachè. Paske akoz gen jalouzi ak konfli pami nou, èske nou pa nan lachè, epi èske nou p ap mache tankou lòm natirèl?
for you are still fleshly. For insofar as there is jealousy, strife, and factions amongst you, aren’t you fleshly, and don’t you walk in the ways of men?
4 Paske lè youn di: “Mwen se moun Paul”, epi yon lòt: “Mwen se moun Appollos”, èske nou p ap aji kòmsi se lòm natirèl ke nou ye?
For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” aren’t you fleshly?
5 Alò, ki moun Apollos ye? E ki moun Paul ye? Se sèvitè pa sila nou te vin kwè yo, menm jan Senyè a te bay opòtinite a yo chak.
Who then is Apollos, and who is Paul, but servants through whom you believed, and each as the Lord gave to him?
6 Mwen te plante, Appollos te awoze, men Bondye te fè l grandi.
I planted. Apollos watered. But God gave the increase.
7 Alò, se pa ni sila ki plante a ni sila ki awoze a ki anyen, men Bondye ki fè l grandi a.
So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.
8 Alò, sila ki plante a ak sila ki awoze a se youn; men chak moun va resevwa pwòp rekonpans li selon pwòp travay li.
Now he who plants and he who waters are the same, but each will receive his own reward according to his own labour.
9 Paske nou se ouvriye parèy avèk Bondye. Nou menm se chan Bondye a, kay la ke L ap bati a.
For we are God’s fellow workers. You are God’s farming, God’s building.
10 Selon gras Bondye ki te ban mwen an, kon yon mèt k ap bati byen saj, mwen te poze yon fondasyon. Men konsa, se yon lòt k ap bati sou li. Konsa, fòk chak moun pridan sou jan li bati sou li a.
According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another builds on it. But let each man be careful how he builds on it.
11 Paske pèsòn pa kapab poze okenn lòt fondasyon sof ke sila ki poze deja a, ki se Jésus Kri.
For no one can lay any other foundation than that which has been laid, which is Jesus Christ.
12 Alò, si nenpòt moun bati sou fondasyon an avèk lò, ajan, bijou presye, bwa, zèb sèch, oswa pay,
But if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, or straw,
13 zèv a chak moun va vin byen parèt. Paske lajounen va fè l vin parèt klè, akoz sa gen pou revele avèk dife. Epi dife a, li menm, va fè prèv valè zèv chak moun.
each man’s work will be revealed. For the Day will declare it, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire itself will test what sort of work each man’s work is.
14 Si zèv a yon moun ki bati sou li a rete toujou, li va resevwa yon rekonpans.
If any man’s work remains which he built on it, he will receive a reward.
15 Si zèv a yon moun vin brile, li va soufri pèt, men li menm, li va sove kòmsi, se pa dife.
If any man’s work is burnt, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, but as through fire.
16 Èske nou pa konnen ke nou se tanp Bondye a, e ke Lespri Bondye a rete nan nou?
Don’t you know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you?
17 Si yon moun detwi tanp Bondye a, Bondye va detwi li, paske tanp Bondye a sen, e se sa nou ye.
If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him; for God’s temple is holy, which you are.
18 Pa kite pèsòn twonpe tèt li si yon moun pami nou panse ke li saj nan tan sila a, li oblije vin fou pou li kapab vin saj. (aiōn g165)
Let no one deceive himself. If anyone thinks that he is wise amongst you in this world, let him become a fool that he may become wise. (aiōn g165)
19 Paske sajès mond sa a se foli devan Bondye. Paske sa ekri: “Se Li menm ki kenbe saj yo nan pwòp koken pa yo.”
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, “He has taken the wise in their craftiness.”
20 Epi ankò: “Senyè a konnen panse a saj yo, ke yo initil.”
And again, “The Lord knows the reasoning of the wise, that it is worthless.”
21 Donk, pa kite pèsòn vante tèt li pou moun. Paske tout bagay se pou nou menm,
Therefore let no one boast in men. For all things are yours,
22 sof ke se Paul, oswa Appollos, oswa Céphas, o lemonn, o lavi, o lanmò, bagay prezan yo, oswa bagay ki gen pou vini yo; tout apatyen de nou menm.
whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come. All are yours,
23 Epi nou apatyen a Kris; e Kris apatyen a Bondye.
and you are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s.
