2 Korint 13
1 Sa se twazyèm fwa m ap vin kote nou. “Chak sa ki fèt dwe konfime pa temwayaj a de oubyen twa temwen.”
This [is] the third [time] I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.
2 Mwen te di nou oparavan lè m te la nan dezyèm fwa a, e byenke m pa la koulye a, mwen di davans a sila yo ki te peche nan tan pase yo e a tout rès moun yo tou, ke si m vini ankò, mwen p ap epagne pèsòn.
I told you before, and foretell you, as if I were present, the second time; and being absent now I write to them which heretofore have sinned, and to all other, that, if I come again, I will not spare:
3 Paske se konsa nou ap chache prèv a Kris ki pale nan mwen an, e ki pa fèb anvè nou an, men byen pwisan nan nou.
Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, which to you-ward is not weak, but is mighty in you.
4 Paske malgre Li te krisifye akoz de feblès, deja Li vivan akoz de pwisans Bondye a. Paske nou osi, nou fèb nan Li, malgre nou va viv avèk Li akoz de pwisans Bondye anvè nou.
For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God toward you.
5 Fè prèv tèt nou pou wè si nou nan lafwa. Egzamine tèt nou! Oubyen èske nou pa rekonèt sa nan ou menm, ke Jésus Kri nan nou—-amwenske anfèt nou ta echwe nan tès la?
Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
6 Men mwen gen konfyans ke ou va vin reyalize ke nou menm, nou pa echwe nan tès la.
But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates.
7 Koulye a, n ap priye Bondye pou ou pa fè okenn mal; se pa pou nou kapab parèt kòmsi nou vin apwouve, men pou ou kapab fè sa ki bon, menmsi li sanble nou pa apwouve.
Now I pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we should appear approved, but that ye should do that which is honest, though we be as reprobates.
8 Paske nou pa kapab fè anyen kont verite a, men sèlman pou verite a.
For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.
9 Paske nou rejwi lè nou fèb e ou menm vin gen fòs. Se pou sa n ap priye; ke ou kapab vin konplè.
For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong: and this also we wish, [even] your perfection.
10 Pou rezon sa a, mwen ap ekri bagay sa yo pandan mwen pa la a, jis pou lè m la, mwen p ap bezwen itilize severite mwen, selon otorite ke Senyè a te ban mwen pou bati e pa pou detwi.
Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I should use sharpness, according to the power which the Lord hath given me to edification, and not to destruction.
11 Finalman, frè m yo, rejwi. Vin konplè, vin rekonfòte vin gen yon sèl panse. Viv nan lapè, epi Bondye lanmou ak lapè a va avèk nou.
Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.
12 Salye youn lòt avèk yon beze ki sen.
Greet one another with an holy kiss.
13 Tout sen yo salye nou.
All the saints salute you.
14 Ke lagras Senyè a Jésus Kri, lanmou Bondye a, ak dous kominyon Lespri Sen an, rete avèk nou tout. Amen.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, [be] with you all. Amen.
