< 2 Korint 2 >

1 Men mwen te deside sa pou koz pa mwen, pou mwen pa ta vin kote nou menm nan tristès ankò.
But I determined this with myself, that I would not come again to you in heaviness.
2 Paske si m fè nou tris, kilès k ap fè m kontan, sof ke sila ke m te fè tris la.
For if I make you sorry, who is he then that makes me glad, but the same which is made sorry by me?
3 Sa se menm bagay ke m te ekri nou an, jis pou lè m te vini, pou mwen pa ta twouve tristès nan sila ki ta dwe fè m rejwi yo. Paske mwen gen konfyans ke m gen nan nou tout la, pou lajwa pa m ta kapab lajwa pa nou tout.
And I wrote this same to you, lest, when I came, I should have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all.
4 Paske se te nan anpil afliksyon ak soufrans nan kè mwen, ke m te ekri nou avèk anpil dlo nan zye; pa pou m ta fè nou tris, men pou nou ta kapab konnen lanmou pwofon ke mwen gen pou nou an.
For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote to you with many tears; not that you should be grieved, but that you might know the love which I have more abundantly to you.
5 Men si yon moun fè nou tris, se pa mwen li fè tris la, men, nan yon sèten sans, (jis pou m pa di twòp) a nou tout.
But if any have caused grief, he has not grieved me, but in part: that I may not overcharge you all.
6 Sifi pou yon moun konsa se pinisyon ki te enpoze pa majorite a.
Sufficient to such a man is this punishment, which was inflicted of many.
7 Donk okontrè, nou ta pito rekonfòte e padone li, otreman pou yon moun konsa ta sibi yon tristès ki depase limit.
So that contrariwise you ought rather to forgive him, and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow.
8 Pou sa, mwen ankouraje nou pou fè l konnen ankò, lanmou nou gen anvè li a.
Why I beseech you that you would confirm your love toward him.
9 Paske nan bi sa, mwen osi te ekri nou pou m te kapab teste nou, si nou obeyisan nan tout bagay.
For to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether you be obedient in all things.
10 Men sila ke nou te padone a, mwen te padone li tou; paske anverite, sa ke m te padone a, si vrèman mwen te padone yon bagay, mwen te fè l pou koz nou nan prezans a Kris la
To whom you forgive any thing, I forgive also: for if I forgave any thing, to whom I forgave it, for your sakes forgave I it in the person of Christ;
11 pou Satan pa t kab vin pwofite de nou; paske nou pa inyoran de manèv li yo.
Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.
12 Alò, lè m te vini Troas pou levanjil a Kris la, e lè yon pòt te vin ouvri pou mwen nan Senyè a,
Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christ’s gospel, and a door was opened to me of the Lord,
13 mwen pa t gen repo nan lespri mwen, akoz mwen pa t twouve Tite, frè mwen an. Konsa, mwen te kite yo, pou mwen te kontinye vè Macédoine.
I had no rest in my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother: but taking my leave of them, I went from there into Macedonia.
14 Men gras a Bondye, ki toujou mennen nou nan viktwa Li an Kris la, e ki toujou fè parèt nan nou yon pafen ki santi bon de konesans a Li nan tout kote.
Now thanks be to God, which always causes us to triumph in Christ, and makes manifest the aroma of his knowledge by us in every place.
15 Paske nou se odè santi bon a Kris la vè Bondye pami sila k ap vin sove yo, e pami sila k ap peri yo.
For we are to God a sweet smell of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish:
16 Pou youn, yon movèz odè ki soti nan lanmò pou rive nan lanmò, pou lòt la, yon odè ki soti nan lavi pou rive nan lavi. E kilès nan nou ki gen ase de fòs pou bagay sa yo?
To the one we are the smell of death to death; and to the other the smell of life to life. And who is sufficient for these things?
17 Paske nou pa tankou anpil moun, k ap vann pawòl Bondye a. Men nan senserite, devan ze Bondye, nou pale nan Kris.
For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.
