1 Piè 2
1 Konsa mete sou kote tout mechanste, ak tout manti, avèk ipokrizi, lanvi ak kout lang
Wherefore, laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil-speakings,
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,
As new-born babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:
3 si vrèman nou te goute dousè a Senyè a.
If indeed ye have tasted that the Lord [is] gracious.
4 Vin kote Sila ki kòm yon wòch vivan te rejte pa lèzòm, men ki chwazi pa Bondye, e presye nan zye Li.
To whom coming [as to] a living stone, disallowed indeed by men, but chosen by God, [and] precious,
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.
Ye also, as living stones, are built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by 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.”
Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner-stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.
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 therefore who believe [he is] precious: but to them who are disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,
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, [even to them] who stumble at the word, being disobedient: to which also 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 ye [are] a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of him who hath 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.
Who in time past [were] not a people, but [are] now the people of God: who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
11 Byeneme, mwen ankouraje nou kòm vwayajè ak etranje yo, pou nou rete lwen lanvi lachè k ap fè lagè kont nanm nan.
Dearly beloved, I beseech [you] as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the 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.
Having your manner of life honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evil-doers, they may by [your] good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.
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 to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether to the king, as supreme;
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 to them that are sent by him for the punishment of evil-doers, and for the praise of them that do well.
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 so is the will of God, that with well-doing ye may put to 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.
As free, and not using [your] liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.
17 Onore tout moun. Renmen frè nou yo. Gen lakrent Bondye, onore wa a.
Honor all [men]. Love the brotherhood. 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, [be] subject to [your] masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.
19 Paske sa jwenn favè, si yon nonm, pou koz a konsyans anvè Bondye, sipòte afliksyon ki enjis.
For this [is] thank-worthy, if a man for conscience towards God endureth grief, suffering wrongfully.
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.
For what glory [is it], if, when ye are buffeted for your faults, ye bear it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer [for it], ye bear it patiently, this [is] acceptable with 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 even to this were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:
22 Sila ki pa t fè okenn peche ni okenn desepsyon pa t twouve nan bouch Li a.
Who committed no sin, neither was guile 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.
Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed [himself] to him that judgeth righteously:
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.
Who himself bore our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live to righteousness; by whose stripes ye were healed.
25 Paske nou te toujou egare tankou mouton, men koulye a nou gen tan retounen a Bèje e Gadyen nanm nou an.
For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned to the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
