1 Korint 4
1 Kite yon moun gade nou konsa, kòm sèvitè a Kris e jeran a mistè ki pou Kris yo.
Thus let us be accounted of you as ministers of the Meshiha, and stewards of the mysteries of Aloha.
2 Nan ka sila a, anplis, li nesesè pou twouve jeran yo fidèl.
So now is it required of a steward that he be one found faithful.
3 Men pou mwen se yon ti bagay tou piti pou mwen ta kab jije pa nou menm, oswa nenpòt lòt tribinal moun. Anverite, mwen pa menm jije pwòp tèt mwen.
But to me it is a little thing to be Judged by you, or by any man; neither do I judge myself,
4 Mwen pa konsyan de anyen kont tèt mwen. Men se pa sa ki fè m inosan, men ke sila ki jije mwen an se Senyè a.
for of nothing in myself am I conscious; but not by this am I justified, but my judge is the Lord.
5 Pou sa pa kontinye jije avan lè, men tann jiskaske Senyè a vini pou Li kapab nan menm tan eklere nan limyè bagay ki kache nan tenèb yo, e devwale tout motif ki nan kè lèzòm. Konsa, lwanj chak moun resevwa va sòti nan Bondye.
Therefore, do not judge before the time, until the Lord come, who will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and reveal the thoughts of hearts. Then will there be praise to each man from Aloha.
6 Alò, frè m yo, mwen te sèvi tout sa konsènan mwen menm ak Apollos kòm yon egzanp pou koz a nou menm. Selon sa mwen te di, mwen vle ou konprann ke nou pa pou ale pi lwen de sa ki nan ekriti sen yo, pou okenn nan nou pa vin ògeye anvè youn e kont yon lòt.
BUT these things, my brethren, for your sakes I have applied to the person of myself and of Apolo, that through us you may learn not to think of us beyond what is written; and that one above his neighbour may not be exalted on account of any thing.
7 Paske kilès ki kwè ke ou pi bon? Kisa nou genyen ke nou pa t resevwa? E si Nou te resevwa li, poukisa nou vante tèt nou kòmsi nou pa t resevwa l.
For who distinguisheth thee? Or, what hast thou which thou hast not received? And if thou hast received, why dost thou boast as if thou hadst not received?
8 Nou deja ranpli! Nou deja vin rich! Nou deja vin wa san èd nou menm! E anverite, mwen ta kontan si nou te deja wa pou nou menm ta kapab renye ansanm avèk nou.
Now you are satiated, and are rich, and without us have reigned. But I would that you did reign, that we might also reign with you!
9 Paske mwen panse ke Bondye te fè nou menm kòm apot pi ba ke tout; tankou moun ki kondane a lanmò, paske nou te gen tan vin yon spektak pou mond lan, ni pou zanj yo, ni pou moun.
But I consider that us, the apostles, Aloha hath set last, as unto death, to be a spectacle to the world, to angels, and to men,
10 Nou se moun fou pou kòz a Kris la, men ou menm, ou saj nan Kris; nou fèb, men ou menm, ou fò; ou menm, ou byen distenge, men nou menm, nou san onè.
We are fools for the sake of the Meshiha, but we are wise in the Meshiha; we are the weak, but you are the mighty; you are glorified, and we abased.
11 Jiska moman sa a nou grangou ak swaf, mal abiye, maltrete, e san kote pou nou rete.
Until this hour we hunger and thirst, we are naked and beaten and have no fixed dwelling;
12 Konsa, nou redi di nan travay avèk pwòp men nou. Lè yo joure nou, nou beni yo. Lè nou pèsekite, nou sipòte sa.
and we labour, working with our hands. They revile us, and we bless; they persecute us, and we endure;
13 Lè yo pale nou mal, nou eseye antann nou. Nou devni tankou fatra a mond lan, retay nan tout bagay, menm jiska koulye a.
they maltreat us, and we pray for them; as the refuse of the world are we made and the execration of all men until now.
14 Mwen pa ekri bagay sa yo pou fè nou wont, men pou avèti nou kòm pitit byeneme mwen.
Not as to shame you write I these things, but as my beloved children I admonish (you).
15 Paske si nou te gen anpil kantite pwofesè an Kris ki pa menm kab konte, menm konsa nou pa t ap gen anpil papa. Paske nan Jésus Kris, mwen te devni papa nou akoz bòn nouvèl la.
For if you have ten thousand teachers in the Meshiha, yet not many fathers; for in Jeshu Meshiha I have begotten you through the gospel.
16 Konsa, mwen egzòte nou, pou nou vin imitatè a mwen menm.
I entreat then of you that you be like me.
17 Se pou rezon sa a, mwen voye bannou Timothée, ki se pitit byeneme e fidèl mwen nan Senyè a. Li va fè nou sonje chemen mwen an ki baze nan Kris, menm jan ke mwen enstwi toupatou nan tout legliz yo.
WHEREFORE I have sent to you Timotheos, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, that he may remind you of my ways in the Meshiha, according to that which I teach in all the churches.
18 Alò, kèk nan nou vin awogan, kòmsi mwen pa t ap vin kote nou.
But as if I were not coming to you, some of you are inflated.
19 Men mwen va vini kote nou byento si Bondye vle e mwen va vin fè egzamen, pa nan pawòl a sila ki awogan yo, men nan pèz pwisans yo.
But if the Lord will, quickly come I unto you; and I will know not the words of them who exalt themselves, but their power.
20 Paske wayòm Bondye a pa fèt avèk pawòl, men avèk pwisans.
For the kingdom of Aloha is not in word, but in power.
21 Kisa nou dezire? Èske mwen dwe vin kote nou avèk yon baton, oswa avèk lanmou avèk lespri jantiyès?
How are you willing? with a rod shall I come to you, or with love and with the spirit of kindliness?
