< 2 Korint 2 >
1 Men mwen te deside sa pou koz pa mwen, pou mwen pa ta vin kote nou menm nan tristès ankò.
For I determined this for myself, that I would not come to you again in sorrow.
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, then who will make me glad but he who 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 very thing, so that, when I came, I would not have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy would be shared by all of you.
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 made sorry, but that you might know the love that I have so abundantly for 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 has caused sorrow, he has caused sorrow, not to me, but in part (that I not press too heavily) to you all.
6 Sifi pou yon moun konsa se pinisyon ki te enpoze pa majorite a.
Sufficient to such a one is this punishment which was inflicted by the 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 on the contrary you should rather forgive him and comfort him, lest by any means such a one should be swallowed up with his excessive sorrow.
8 Pou sa, mwen ankouraje nou pou fè l konnen ankò, lanmou nou gen anvè li a.
Therefore I urge you to 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 I also wrote, that I might know the proof of you, whether you are 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
Now I also forgive whomever you forgive anything. For if indeed I have forgiven anything, I have forgiven that one for your sakes in the presence of Messiah,
11 pou Satan pa t kab vin pwofite de nou; paske nou pa inyoran de manèv li yo.
that no advantage may be gained over us by Satan; for we are not ignorant of his schemes.
12 Alò, lè m te vini Troas pou levanjil a Kris la, e lè yon pòt te vin ouvri pou mwen nan Senyè a,
Now when I came to Troas for the Good News of Messiah, and when a door was opened to me in 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 relief for my spirit, because I did not find Titus, my brother, but taking my leave of them, I went out 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, who always leads us in triumph in Messiah, and reveals through us the sweet aroma of his knowledge 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 a sweet aroma of Messiah to God, in those who are saved, and in those who 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 a stench from death to death; to the other a sweet aroma from life to life. 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, like so many, peddling the word of God. But as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God, we speak in Messiah.
