1 Piè 2
1 Konsa mete sou kote tout mechanste, ak tout manti, avèk ipokrizi, lanvi ak kout lang
Rid yourselves, therefore, of all malice, deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander.
2 epi tankou tibebe ki fenk ne, se pou nou gen lanvi pou lèt pi a pawòl la, pouke pa li menm, nou kapab grandi vè sali,
Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation,
3 si vrèman nou te goute dousè a Senyè a.
now that you have tasted that the Lord is good.
4 Vin kote Sila ki kòm yon wòch vivan te rejte pa lèzòm, men ki chwazi pa Bondye, e presye nan zye Li.
As you come to Him, the living stone, rejected by men but chosen and precious in God’s sight,
5 Nou menm osi, kòm wòch vivan, ki bati kòm yon kay sen, pou nou fè sèvis kòm prèt ki sen, pou ofri sakrifis sen, ki akseptab a Bondye, atravè Jésus Kri.
you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
6 Paske sa twouve nan Lekriti sen an: “Byen gade, Mwen poze nan Sion yon wòch byen chwazi, yon wòch kwen prensipal la, e sila ki kwè nan Li a p ap wont.”
For it stands in Scripture: “See, I lay in Zion a stone, a chosen and precious cornerstone; and the one who believes in Him will never be put to shame.”
7 Alò, valè presye sila a, se pou nou menm ki kwè, men pou sila ki pa kwè yo: “Wòch ke bòs mason yo te rejte a, sa te devni vrè wòch ang lan.”
To you who believe, then, this stone is precious. But to those who do not believe, “The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone,”
8 Epi: “yon wòch pou fè moun bite e yon wòch ofans.” Yo bite konsa akoz yo dezobeyisan a pawòl la, e se pou move desten sila a, yo te deziye.
and, “A stone of stumbling and a rock of offense.” They stumble because they disobey the word—and to this they were appointed.
9 Men, nou se yon ras chwazi, yon lòd prèt wayal, yon nasyon sen, yon pèp pou pwòp posesyon Bondye, pou nou kapab pwoklame ekselans a Li menm ki te rele nou sòti nan tenèb la pou vini nan limyè glwa Li a.
But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, to proclaim the virtues of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.
10 Paske, avan, nou pa t yon pèp, men koulye a, nou se Pèp Bondye a; nou pa t resevwa mizerikòd, men koulye a, nou resevwa mizerikòd.
Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
11 Byeneme, mwen ankouraje nou kòm vwayajè ak etranje yo, pou nou rete lwen lanvi lachè k ap fè lagè kont nanm nan.
Beloved, I urge you, as foreigners and exiles, to abstain from the desires of the flesh, which war against your soul.
12 Kenbe kondwit nou pwòp pami pèp etranje yo, pouke nan bagay ke yo pale mal sou nou kòm malfektè yo, yo kapab akoz bon zèv nou, bay Bondye glwa, lè yo wè yo nan jou gran vizitasyon selès la.
Conduct yourselves with such honor among the Gentiles that, though they slander you as evildoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day He visits us.
13 Soumèt tèt nou pou koz a Senyè a, a tout otorite ki etabli pami lòm, kit se yon wa kit se yon moun an otorite
Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every human institution, whether to the king as the supreme authority,
14 oubyen a gouvènè ki voye pa Li menm yo pou pini malfektè yo e louwe sila ki fè byen yo.
or to governors as those sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to praise those who do right.
15 Paske se volonte Bondye, pou lè nou fè sa ki bon, pou sa fè inyoran yo ak san konprann yo rete an silans.
For it is God’s will that by doing good you should silence the ignorance of foolish men.
16 Se pou nou tankou moun lib, e pa itilize libète nou an kòm yon kouvèti pou fè sa ki mal, men pito sèvi li kòm sèvitè a Bondye.
Live in freedom, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as servants of God.
17 Onore tout moun. Renmen frè nou yo. Gen lakrent Bondye, onore wa a.
Treat everyone with high regard: Love the brotherhood of believers, fear God, honor the king.
18 Sèvitè, se pou nou soumèt a mèt nou avèk tout respè, non sèlman a sila ki bon e dous yo, men osi a sila ki difisil yo.
Servants, submit yourselves to your masters with all respect, not only to those who are good and gentle, but even to those who are unreasonable.
19 Paske sa jwenn favè, si yon nonm, pou koz a konsyans anvè Bondye, sipòte afliksyon ki enjis.
For if anyone endures the pain of unjust suffering because he is conscious of God, this is to be commended.
20 Paske ki glwa ki genyen si, lè nou peche e yo trete nou sevèman, nou andire li avèk pasyans? Men si lè nou fè sa ki bon e soufri pou li, nou andire li avèk pasyans, sa twouve favè devan Bondye.
How is it to your credit if you are beaten for doing wrong and you endure it? But if you suffer for doing good and you endure it, this is commendable before God.
21 Paske nou te rele pou koz sa a akoz ke Kris osi te soufri pou nou. Li te kite yon egzanp pou nou swiv pazapa,
For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in His footsteps:
22 Sila ki pa t fè okenn peche ni okenn desepsyon pa t twouve nan bouch Li a.
“He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in His mouth.”
23 Epi pandan yo t ap joure Li, Li pa t joure anretou. Pandan Li t ap soufri, Li pa t fè menas, men te kontinye mete konfyans Li nan Sila ki jije avèk ladwati a.
When they heaped abuse on Him, He did not retaliate; when He suffered, He made no threats, but entrusted Himself to Him who judges justly.
24 Epi Li menm te pote peche nou yo nan Kò Li sou kwa a, pou nou ta kapab mouri ak peche pou viv ak ladwati. Paske ak blesi Li yo, nou te geri.
He Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. “By His stripes you are healed.”
25 Paske nou te toujou egare tankou mouton, men koulye a nou gen tan retounen a Bèje e Gadyen nanm nou an.
For “you were like sheep going astray,” but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.
