2 Korint 4
1 Konsa, akoz ke nou gen ministè sa a, jan nou te resevwa mizerikòd la, nou pa dekouraje.
Therefore, since we have this ministry, and in as much as we have obtained mercy for ourselves, we are not inadequate.
2 Men nou renonse a bagay ki fèt an kachèt ki fè wont yo. Nou pa mache nan riz, ni nan kase fòs pawòl Bondye a ak desepsyon, men ak demonstrasyon verite a, nou rekòmande tèt nou a konsyans tout moun devan zye Bondye.
For we renounce dishonorable and hidden acts, not walking by craftiness, nor by adulterating the Word of God. Instead, by the manifestation of truth, we commend ourselves to the conscience of each man before God.
3 Men si levanjil nou an vwale, li vwale pou sila k ap peri yo.
But if our Gospel is in some way hidden, it is hidden to those who are perishing.
4 Nan ka sila a, dye a mond sa a vwale lespri a enkwayan yo pou yo pa wè limyè levanjil la, glwa a Kris la, ki se imaj a Bondye. (aiōn g165)
As for them, the god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that the light of the Gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, would not shine in them. (aiōn g165)
5 Paske nou pa preche tèt nou, men Kris Jésus a kòm Senyè, epi nou menm kòm sèvitè a nou tout, pou kòz a Jésus.
For we are not preaching about ourselves, but about Jesus Christ our Lord. We are merely your servants through Jesus.
6 Paske se Bondye, ki te di: “Limyè va klere nan tenèb la”. Se Li menm nan ki te briye nan kè nou pou bay limyè de konesans a glwa Bondye a, ki se nan figi Kris Jésus a.
For God, who told the light to shine out of darkness, has shined a light into our hearts, to illuminate the knowledge of the splendor of God, in the person of Christ Jesus.
7 Men nou gen trezò sa a nan po ki fèt avèk tè ajil, pou grandè a pouvwa ki depase tout bagay la, kapab sòti nan Bondye e pa nan nou menm.
But we hold this treasure in earthen vessels, so that what is sublime may be of the power of God, and not of us.
8 Nou aflije nan tout fason, men nou pa kraze; nou nan konfizyon, men nou pa nan dezespwa,
In all things, we endure tribulation, yet we are not in anguish. We are constrained, yet we are not destitute.
9 pèsekite, men nou pa abandone. Nou pran so, men nou pa detwi.
We suffer persecution, yet we have not been abandoned. We are thrown down, yet we do not perish.
10 Nou toujou ap pote nan kò la, lanmò Jésus, pou lavi Jésus kapab vin parèt nan kò nou.
We ever carry around the mortification of Jesus in our bodies, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies.
11 Paske nou menm ki vivan yo toujou ap livre a lanmò pou kòz a Jésus, pou lavi Jésus kapab osi manifeste nan chè mòtèl nou an.
For we who live are ever handed over unto death for the sake of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our mortal flesh.
12 Konsa, lanmò travay nan nou, men lavi nan ou.
Therefore, death is at work in us, and life is at work in you.
13 Men avèk menm lespri lafwa a, selon sa ki ekri a: “Mwen te kwè, e akoz sa mwen te pale”, nou osi kwè, e akoz sa, nou pale;
But we have the same Spirit of faith. And just as it is written, “I believed, and for that reason I spoke,” so we also believe, and for that reason, we also speak.
14 avèk konesans ke Sila ki te leve Senyè a Jésus va leve nou osi avèk Jésus e va prezante nou avèk nou menm.
For we know that the One who raised up Jesus will raise us up also with Jesus and will place us with you.
15 Paske tout bagay se pou koz a nou menm, pouke lagras k ap gaye a de plizanplis moun nan kapab koz anpil remèsiman pou laglwa Bondye.
Thus, all is for you, so that grace, abounding through many in thanksgiving, may abound to the glory of God.
16 Donk, nou p ap dekouraje, men malgre ke lòm eksteryè nou ap dekonpoze deja lòm enteryè nou ap renouvle de jou an jou.
For this reason, we are not insufficient. But it is as though our outer man is corrupted, while our inner man is renewed from day to day.
17 Paske ti afliksyon pou yon ti tan an ap pwodwi pou nou yon pwa laglwa etènèl ki depase tout konparezon, (aiōnios g166)
For though our tribulation is, at the present time, brief and light, it accomplishes in us the weight of a sublime eternal glory, beyond measure. (aiōnios g166)
18 pandan nou p ap gade bagay ki vizib, men bagay ki pa vizib. Paske bagay vizib yo se pou yon ti moman, men bagay ki pa vizib yo se pou tout letènite. (aiōnios g166)
And we are contemplating, not the things that are seen, but the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are temporal, whereas the things that are not seen are eternal. (aiōnios g166)
