2 Korint 3
1 Èske n ap kòmanse bay pwòp tèt nou lwanj ankò? Oswa èske nou menm bezwen, tankou kèk lòt moun, lèt rekòmandasyon pou nou menm, oswa petèt ki sòti de nou menm?
Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some [others], epistles of commendation to you, or [letters] of commendation from you?
2 Nou menm nan legliz Korent se lèt nou, ki ekri nan kè nou, ki rekonèt e ki li pa tout moun.
Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men:
3 Li parèt klè ke nou se yon lèt ki sòti nan Kris la, ki pran swen pa nou menm, ki pa t ekri avèk lank, men avèk Lespri Bondye vivan an, pa sou tablèt wòch, men sou tablèt kè lòm.
[Forasmuch as ye are] manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.
4 Yon konfyans konsa ke nou genyen atravè Kris la vè Bondye.
And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward:
5 Se pa ke nou ase fò nan nou menm pou konsidere ke tout bagay kapab sòti nan nou menm, men fòs nou an soti nan Bondye.
Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency [is] of God;
6 Ki te osi fè nou ase fò tankou sèvitè a yon akò tounèf, pa selon lèt la, men selon Lespri a. Paske lèt la touye, men Lespri a bay lavi.
Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
7 Men si zèv lanmò a, ak lèt la byen grave sou wòch te vini avèk glwa, jis pou fis Israël yo pa t kapab fikse atansyon yo sou figi Moïse akoz de glwa a figi li, malgre briyans lan te kòmanse ap bese,
But if the ministration of death, written [and] engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which [glory] was to be done away:
8 kòman zèv Lespri a p ap vin pi fò avèk laglwa a?
How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious?
9 Paske si zèv kondanasyon an gen glwa, konbyen anplis zèv ladwati a p ap ranpli avèk glwa?
For if the ministration of condemnation [be] glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.
10 Paske anverite, sa ki te gen glwa a, nan ka sa a pa gen glwa, akoz glwa ki depase l la.
For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth.
11 Paske si sa ki disparèt la te avèk glwa, bokou plis sa ki rete a gen glwa.
For if that which is done away [was] glorious, much more that which remaineth [is] glorious.
12 Konsa, akoz ke nou gen yon espwa parèy a sa a, nou sèvi ak gran kouraj nan pawòl nou yo.
Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech:
13 Se pa tankou Moïse ki te konn mete yon vwal sou figi l pou fis Israël yo pa t kab gade avèk atansyon sou fen sa ki t ap disparèt la.
And not as Moses, [which] put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished:
14 Men tèt yo te vin di; paske jis rive nan jou sa a, nan lekti ansyen akò a, menm vwal la rete toujou san leve, paske se jis nan Kris li vin leve.
But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which [vail] is done away in Christ.
15 Men jis rive nan jou sa a, lè ekriti Moïse la vin li, yon vwal kouvri kè yo.
But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart.
16 Men nenpòt lè yon moun vire vè Senyè a, vwal la vin sòti.
Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.
17 Alò, Senyè a se Lespri a; e kote Lespri Senyè a ye, gen libète.
Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord [is], there [is] liberty.
18 Men nou tout, avèk figi devwale k ap gade tankou nan yon miwa laglwa Senyè a k ap transfòme nan menm imaj a glwa sa a, jis rive nan glwa ki sòti nan Senyè a, ki se Lespri a.
But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, [even] as by the Spirit of the Lord.
