2 Korint 11
1 Mwen swete ke nou ta ban mwen pèmisyon pou yon ti foli; men anfèt nou ban mwen l deja.
If only you would bear with me for a bit in my foolishness! Yes, do bear with me!
2 Paske mwen jalou pou nou avèk yon jalouzi ki sòti nan Bondye. Paske mwen te fyanse nou ak yon mari, pou m ta kapab prezante nou a Kris kòm yon vyèj ki san tach.
I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy, because I promised you in marriage to one husband, to present you as a pure virgin to Christ.
3 Men mwen pè pou menm jan ke Eve te twonpe pa riz sèpan an, pou panse nou ta de yon fason oubyen yon lòt detounen de devosyon sensè e san tach de Kris la.
But I am afraid that just as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds will be led astray from simple devotion to Christ.
4 Paske si yon moun vini pou preche yon lòt Jésus, ke nou menm pa t preche, oswa nou resevwa yon lòt lespri ke nou pa t resevwa, oswa yon lòt levanjil ke nou pa t aksepte, nou ase tolere sa.
For if someone comes to you and preaches a different message about Jesus than the one we preached, or if you receive a different spirit than the one you received, or a different gospel than the one you accepted, you bear with it well enough.
5 Paske mwen pa konsidere tèt mwen kòm enferyè a pi gran apot yo.
For I consider myself to be in no way inferior to these “super-apostles.”
6 Men menmsi mwen manke abil nan pale, deja mwen pa konsa nan konesans. Anfèt, nan tout aspè, sa te deja fèt klè de nou tout, nan tout bagay.
I may be untrained in speech, but I do not lack knowledge; indeed, in every way we have been made known to you in everything.
7 Oubyen èske mwen te fè yon peche lè m te aksepte imilye tèt mwen pou nou menm ta kapab egzalte, paske m te preche levanjil Bondye a nou menm san frè?
Did I commit a sin by humbling myself so that you might be exalted, because I preached the gospel of God to you free of charge?
8 Okontrè, mwen te vòlè lòt legliz yo lè m te pran kòb soutyen lan nan men yo pou sèvi nou.
I “robbed” other churches by receiving support from them in order to serve you!
9 Lè m te prezan avèk nou nan nesesite, mwen pa t devni yon chaj pou okenn moun; paske lè frè yo te vini sòti Macédoine, yo te satisfè tout bezwen m yo, e nan tout bagay mwen te kenbe tèt mwen pou mwen pa t vin yon chaj pou nou menm, e m va kontinye fè menm bagay la.
When I was with you and in need, I did not burden anyone, for the brothers who came from Macedonia supplied what I needed. I kept myself from being a burden to you in any way, and I will continue to do so.
10 Jan verite Kris la nan mwen an vante tèt mwen an p ap tèmine fèt nan zòn Achaïe yo.
As surely as the truth of Christ is in me, this boasting of mine will not be silenced in the regions of Achaia.
11 Poukisa? Paske mwen pa renmen nou? Bondye konnen ke m renmen nou!
Why? Because I do not love you? God knows I do!
12 Men m ap kontinye fè sa ke m ap fè a pou m kapab rachte okazyon de sila yo ki vle twouve yon okazyon pou moun konsidere yo egal avèk nou nan bagay ke y ap vante tèt yo.
But what I am doing I will continue to do, so that I may deny any opportunity to those who want to be regarded as our equals in what they boast about.
13 Paske moun konsa yo se fo apot yo ye, ouvriye twonpè k ap degize tèt yo tankou apot a Kris yo.
For such men are false apostles and deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ.
14 Sa pa yon gwo sipriz, paske menm Satan degize tèt li tankou yon zanj limyè.
And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.
15 Konsa, se pa yon sipriz si sèvitè li yo degize tèt yo tankou sèvitè ladwati Bondye yo, ki va tèmine menm jan kon pwòp zèv pa yo.
Therefore it is no great surprise if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will be according to their works.
16 Ankò mwen di, ke pèsòn pa panse ke mwen fou. Men si nou panse sa, resevwa m menm tankou moun fou, pou mwen tou kapab vante tèt mwen tou piti.
I repeat: Let no one consider me to be a fool. But if you do, receive me just as you would a fool, so that I too may boast a little.
17 Sa m ap di a, mwen p ap di li jan Senyè a ta pale, men yon jan fou, konsi, m ap vante tèt mwen an.
What I say in this confidence of boasting, I am not saying in accordance with the Lord, but as a fool.
18 Akoz ke anpil moun vante tèt yo selon lachè, mwen va vante tèt mwen konsa tou.
Since many boast according to the flesh, I too will boast.
19 Men nou menm ki tèlman saj, tolere foli a avèk kè kontan.
For you gladly bear with fools since you are so wise!
20 Paske nou tolere li si yon moun fè nou esklav, si yon moun devore nou, si yon moun pran avantaj de nou, si yon moun egzalte tèt li, menm si yon moun bannou kou nan figi.
You bear with it if anyone enslaves you, devours you, takes advantage of you, exalts himself, or hits you in the face.
21 Nan wont mwen, mwen oblije di ke nou te twò fèb pa konparezon. Men nan nenpòt bagay respekte nenpòt lòt moun se plen ak kouraj (mwen pale ak foli), mwen menm, mwen gen kouraj menm jan an.
To my shame I admit that we were too weak for that! But whatever anyone else dares to boast about—I am speaking like a fool—I also dare to boast about.
22 Èske se Ebre yo ye? Mwen menm tou, mwen Ebre. Èske se Izrayelit yo ye? Mwen menm tou, mwen se Izrayelit. Èske se desandan Abraham yo ye? Mwen menm tou.
Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they the offspring of Abraham? So am I.
23 Èske se sèvitè a Kris yo ye? (Mwen pale tankou moun fou) Mwen menm tou, plis nan travay, bokou plis nan pran prizon. Mwen te bat depase mezi, mwen te souvan nan danje lanmò.
Are they servants of Christ? (I am speaking like I am out of my mind!) I am even more so, with far more labors, with beatings beyond measure, with far more imprisonments, and often facing death.
24 Senk fwa mwen te resevwa nan men Jwif yo trant-nèf kout fwèt.
Five times I received from the Jews the forty lashes minus one.
25 Twa fwa mwen te bat avèk baton, yon fwa mwen te lapide avèk wòch, twa fwa mwen te nan bato ki kraze nan lanmè, yon jou ak yon nwit mwen te pase nan fon lanmè.
Three times I was beaten with rods. Once I was stoned. Three times I was shipwrecked; a night and a day I spent in the open sea.
26 Souvan mwen te fè vwayaj, an danje nan rivyè, danje ak vòlè, danje ak pwòp moun peyi mwen, danje ak moun etranje yo danje nan vil yo, danje nan dezè, danje sou lanmè, e danje pami fo frè yo.
I have often been on journeys, exposed to dangers from rivers, dangers from robbers, dangers from my own people, dangers from the Gentiles, dangers in the city, dangers in the wilderness, dangers at sea, and dangers among false brothers.
27 Mwen te nan travay, nan sikonstans difisil, nan anpil nwit san dòmi, nan grangou ak swaf, souvan san manje, nan fredi e san rad.
I have endured labor and hardship, many sleepless nights, and hunger and thirst. I have often gone without food and have been cold due to a lack of sufficient clothing.
28 Apa kondisyon ekstèn sa yo, gen fòs opresyon chak jou sou mwen pou sousi mwen gen pou tout legliz yo.
Apart from these external things, there is my daily burden: my concern for all the churches.
29 Kilès ki vin fèb, san m pa fèb tou? Kilès ki lage nan peche, san gwo sousi mwen.
Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is made to stumble, and I do not burn with indignation?
30 Si mwen dwe vante tèt mwen, m ap vante tèt mwen de sa ki apatyen a feblès mwen.
If I must boast, I will boast about the things that show my weakness.
31 Bondye e Papa a Senyè a Jésus Li menm ki beni pou tout tan an, konnen ke m p ap bay manti. (aiōn g165)
The God and Father of the Lord Jesus Christ, who is blessed forever, knows that I am not lying. (aiōn g165)
32 Nan Damas gouvènè anba Arétas, wa a t ap veye vil moun Damas yo pou l te kapab sezi mwen.
In Damascus the governor under King Aretas was guarding the city of the Damascenes, wanting to arrest me,
33 Se konsa mwen te kite lòt moun desann mwen nan yon panyen pa fenèt nan mi an, e se konsa m te chape nan men li.
but I was let down in a basket through a window in the city wall and escaped from his hands.
