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 with myself, not to come to you again in grief:
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 grieve you, who is it that maketh me glad, but he that is grieved 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 to you, that when I come I may not have grief from those of whom I ought to receive joy, being persuaded concerning all of you, 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 through much affliction and distress of heart I wrote to you with many tears; not that ye might be grieved, but that ye might know the love with which I abound towards 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.
And if any one hath caused grief, it hath grieved me only as to part of you, (that I may not overcharge you
6 Sifi pou yon moun konsa se pinisyon ki te enpoze pa majorite a.
all) though sufficient to such a one is the censure passed on him by 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, ye ought rather to forgive and comfort him, least such a one should be swallowed up with excessive sorrow.
8 Pou sa, mwen ankouraje nou pou fè l konnen ankò, lanmou nou gen anvè li a.
Wherefore I beseech you to confirm your love to 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 have proof of you, whether ye 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
And to whom ye forgive any thing, I also forgive it: for if I have forgiven any thing, I forgave it him, to whom I did forgive it, for your sakes, in the person of Christ; that we might not be foiled by Satan:
11 pou Satan pa t kab vin pwofite de nou; paske nou pa inyoran de manèv li yo.
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,
So that when I came to Troas on account of the gospel of Christ, and 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.
yet I had no rest in my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother there; but taking my leave of them, I went away 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.
But thanks be to God, who always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and spreadeth the odor 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 the sweet odor of Christ unto God, in them that are saved, yea 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 these indeed we are an odor of death to death; to those an odor of life unto 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 like many who adulterate the word of God: but as with sincerity, but as from God, and in the sight of God, we speak concerning Christ.
