1 Piè 4
1 Konsa, paske Kris te soufri nan lachè a, ranfòse tèt nou osi avèk menm bi a; paske moun ki deja soufri nan lachè yo, gen tan sispann fè peche,
Forasmuch then as Christ suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind; for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin;
2 pou nou pa viv rès tan an konsa, nan lachè ak dezi a lòm, men viv pou volonte a Bondye.
that you no longer should live the rest of your time in the flesh for human desires, but for the will of God.
3 Paske tan ki pase deja a, sifi pou nou te akonpli tout dezi a payen yo. Nou te konn pouswiv yon kous sansyèl, dezi chanèl, vin sou, banbòch, gwo fèt bwason, ak idolatri ki abominab.
For enough time in the past has been spent doing the will of the unbelievers, and having walked in lewdness, lusts, drunkenness, orgies, carousings, and abominable idolatries.
4 Nan tout sa, yo etone ke nou pa kouri avèk yo nan menm eksè ki fè yo dejenere konsa a, e yo pale mal sou nou.
They think it is strange that you do not run with them into the same flood of debauchery, blaspheming:
5 Men yo va rann kont a Sila ki prèt pou jije vivan ak mò yo a.
who will give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
6 Paske pou rezon sa a, levanjil la preche menm a sila ki mouri yo, pouke, malgre, yo jije nan lachè kòm lòm, yo ta kapab viv nan lespri selon volonte a Bondye a.
For this reason also the Good News was preached to those who are now dead, that they might be judged according to man in the flesh, but might live according to God in the Spirit.
7 Lafen tout bagay pwòch. Konsa, se pou nou vin saj, ak yon jan de panse byen serye pou nou kab priye.
But the end of all things is near. Therefore be serious and disciplined in your prayers.
8 Anplis de tout bagay, rete fèm nan lanmou nou youn pou lòt, paske lanmou kouvri yon gran kantite peche.
Above all things be earnest in your love among yourselves, for love covers a multitude of sins.
9 Resevwa youn lòt lakay nou san plenyen.
Be hospitable to one another without grumbling.
10 Akoz chak moun gen tan resevwa yon don espesyal, anplwaye li nan sèvi youn lòt kòm bon jeran ak tout gras ke Bondye te bay la.
As each has received a gift, employ it in serving one another, as good managers of the grace of God in its various forms.
11 Nenpòt moun ki pale, li dwe fè sa tankou sila k ap pale pawòl a Bondye. Nenpòt moun ki sèvi, li dwe fè li tankou sila k ap sèvi avèk tout fòs ke Bondye ba li, pouke nan tout bagay, Bondye kapab glorifye atravè Jésus Kri. A Li menm, apatyen laglwa ak pwisans, pou tout tan e pou tout tan. Amen. (aiōn g165)
If anyone speaks, let it be as it were the very words of God. If anyone serves, let it be as of the strength which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
12 Byeneme yo, pa vin etone de eprèv cho kap brile nan mitan nou an, ki parèt sou nou kòm yon eprèv, kòmsi se kèk bagay etranj k ap rive nou.
Beloved, do not be astonished at the fiery trial which has come upon you, to test you, as though a strange thing happened to you.
13 Men nan menm degre ke nou pataje soufrans Kris la, kontinye rejwi nou, anfen ke nan revelasyon laglwa Li, nou kapab rejwi nou avèk gwo lajwa.
But because you are partakers of Christ's sufferings, rejoice; that at the revelation of his glory you also may rejoice with exceeding joy.
14 Si yo pale mal de nou pou non a Kris la nou beni, paske Lespri laglwa a, ak Lespri Bondye a rete sou nou. De pati de sa yo, non L blasfeme, men sou pati pa w Li resevwa glwa.
If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed; because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. On their part he is blasphemed, but on your part he is glorified.
15 Fè si ke okenn nan nou pa soufri kòm asasen, vòlè, oswa yon malfektè, ni yon moun k ap simen latwoublay;
For let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil doer, or a meddler.
16 Men, si yon moun soufri kòm yon Kretyen (yon moun k ap adore Kris), li pa dwe wont, men li dwe glorifye Bondye nan non sila a.
But if as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this name.
17 Paske li lè pou jijman kòmanse avèk manm lakay Bondye yo. E si li kòmanse avèk nou an premye, kisa ki va rive a sila ki pa obeyi a levanjil a Bondye a?
For the time has come for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins first with us, what will happen to those who do not obey the Good News of God?
18 Epi si se avèk difikilte ke moun jis yo sove, kisa ki va rive nonm ki san Bondye a, ak pechè a?
And "If the righteous is delivered with difficulty, where will the ungodly and the sinner appear?"
19 Konsa, sila yo osi ki soufri selon volonte Bondye a lè yo fè byen, lese yo remèt nanm yo a Li menm kòn yon Kreyatè Fidèl.
Therefore let them also who suffer according to the will of God in doing good entrust their souls to him, as to a faithful Creator.
