2 Korint 4
1 Konsa, akoz ke nou gen ministè sa a, jan nou te resevwa mizerikòd la, nou pa dekouraje.
Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;
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.
But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.
3 Men si levanjil nou an vwale, li vwale pou sila k ap peri yo.
But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
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)
In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto 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 preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake.
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 commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
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 have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
8 Nou aflije nan tout fason, men nou pa kraze; nou nan konfizyon, men nou pa nan dezespwa,
We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;
9 pèsekite, men nou pa abandone. Nou pran so, men nou pa detwi.
Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
10 Nou toujou ap pote nan kò la, lanmò Jésus, pou lavi Jésus kapab vin parèt nan kò nou.
Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.
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 which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
12 Konsa, lanmò travay nan nou, men lavi nan ou.
So then death worketh in us, but life 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;
We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore 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.
Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present 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.
For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound 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 which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by 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 our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; (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)
While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. (aiōnios g166)
