1 Korint 4
1 Kite yon moun gade nou konsa, kòm sèvitè a Kris e jeran a mistè ki pou Kris yo.
People ought to regard us as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.
2 Nan ka sila a, anplis, li nesesè pou twouve jeran yo fidèl.
Now it is required of stewards that they be 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 for me it is a very small thing if I am judged by you, or by any human court. Indeed, I do not even 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 I am conscious of nothing against myself, yet I am not thereby acquitted; but he who judges me 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.
So then, do not judge anything before the appointed time. Wait until the Lord comes, who will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and reveal the intentions of the heart. At that time each person will receive his praise from God.
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.
Now, brothers, I have applied these things to myself and Apollos for your sake, so that through us you may learn not to think beyond what is written, so that you may not be puffed up, with each one of you supporting one man against another.
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 regards yoʋ as superior? What do yoʋ have that yoʋ did not receive? And if yoʋ received it, why do yoʋ boast as though yoʋ did not receive it?
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.
You are already full! You have already become rich! You have begun to reign without us! And how I wish that you really were reigning, so that we could 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.
For I think that God has put us apostles on display at the end of the procession, as sentenced to death, because we have become a spectacle to the world, both to angels and 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 Christ, but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You are esteemed, but we are dishonored.
11 Jiska moman sa a nou grangou ak swaf, mal abiye, maltrete, e san kote pou nou rete.
To the present hour we hunger and thirst; we are poorly clothed and beaten down, with no home of our own.
12 Konsa, nou redi di nan travay avèk pwòp men nou. Lè yo joure nou, nou beni yo. Lè nou pèsekite, nou sipòte sa.
We labor, working with our own hands. When we are reviled, we bless; when we are persecuted, 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.
when we are slandered, we encourage. We have become like the refuse of the world, the scum of all things, even to this present time.
14 Mwen pa ekri bagay sa yo pou fè nou wont, men pou avèti nou kòm pitit byeneme mwen.
I am not writing this to shame you, but rather I am admonishing you as my beloved children.
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 even if you had ten thousand guardians in Christ, you would not have many fathers. For in Christ Jesus I became a father to you through the gospel.
16 Konsa, mwen egzòte nou, pou nou vin imitatè a mwen menm.
Therefore I urge you to be imitators of 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.
That is why I have sent you Timothy, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord. He will remind you of my ways in Christ, just as I teach them everywhere in every church.
18 Alò, kèk nan nou vin awogan, kòmsi mwen pa t ap vin kote nou.
But some of you have become puffed up, as though I were not coming to you.
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 I will come to you soon, if the Lord wills, and I will find out not the talk of those who have become puffed up, but their power.
20 Paske wayòm Bondye a pa fèt avèk pawòl, men avèk pwisans.
For the kingdom of God is demonstrated not by talk but by power.
21 Kisa nou dezire? Èske mwen dwe vin kote nou avèk yon baton, oswa avèk lanmou avèk lespri jantiyès?
What do you prefer? Shall I come to you with a rod, or with love and a spirit of gentleness?
