2 Korint 5
1 Paske nou konnen ke si tant tèrès la ki se lakay nou an vin demoli, nou gen yon kay ki sòti nan Bondye; yon kay ki pa fèt avèk men, ki etènèl nan syèl la. (aiōnios g166)
Now we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not made by human hands. (aiōnios g166)
2 Paske vrèman, nan kay sila a, nou plenyen avèk lanvi pou nou abiye nou ak kay nou ki nan syèl la;
For in this tent we groan, longing to be further clothed with our heavenly dwelling,
3 kòmsi nou konnen ke lè nou fin mete li, nou p ap janm toutouni ankò.
because when we are clothed, we will not be found naked.
4 Paske vrèman, pandan nou nan tant kò sa a, nou plenyen, nou anba gwo fado, paske nou pa vle dezabiye nou, men abiye nou, jis pou sa ki mòtèl la kapab anglouti pa lavi etènèl.
For while we are in this tent, we groan and are burdened, not because we want to be unclothed, but further clothed, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.
5 Alò, Sila ki te prepare nou pou menm bi sa a, se Bondye, ki te bannou Lespri Sen kòm yon pwomès la.
Now he who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who has also given us the Spirit as a guarantee.
6 Konsa, toujou avèk bon kouraj, ak konesans ke pandan nou lakay nou nan kò a, nou absan de Senyè a,
Therefore we have courage at all times, and we know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord.
7 paske nou mache pa lafwa, e pa selon sa nou wè.
For we walk by faith, not by sight.
8 Men, mwen di nou, nou gen bon kouraj. Nou prefere pito absan de kò a pou prezan lakay nou avèk Senyè a.
Yes, we have courage and would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord.
9 Konsa nou gen osi kòm dezi, pou, kit nou lakay, kit nou absan, pou fè Li menm plezi.
Therefore, whether we are at home or away, we aspire to be pleasing to him.
10 Paske nou tout dwe parèt devan chèz jijman a Kris la, pou chak moun kapab rekonpanse pou zèv li nan kò a, selon sa li te fè, kit byen kit mal.
For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive his due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil.
11 Konsa, avèk konesans lakrent Senyè a, nou menm ap fè tout moun kwè, men nou vin rekonèt devan Bondye; epi mwen espere ke nou rekonèt nan konsyans pa nou yo tou.
Therefore, because we know what it is to fear the Lord, we persuade others. What we are is known to God, and I hope that it is known in your consciences as well.
12 Nou p ap vin pale byen de pwòp tèt nou bannou ankò, men n ap bannou yon okazyon pou vin fyè de nou, pou nou kab gen yon repons a sila ki jwenn fyète nan aparans, men pa nan kè.
For we are not commending ourselves to you again, but we are giving you an opportunity to boast about us, so that you may be able to answer those who boast about outward appearances and not about matters of the heart.
13 Paske si nou vin debòde, se pou Bondye. Epi si nou nan bon sans nou, se pou nou menm.
If we are out of our mind, it is for God; if we are in our right mind, it is for you.
14 Paske lanmou Kris la k ap bourade nou. Konsa li mennen nou a konklizyon sa a; ke yon moun te mouri pou tout moun, kidonk, tout moun te mouri.
For the love of Christ compels us, because we have concluded that if one died for all, then all have died.
15 Li te mouri pou tout moun, pouke sila ki vivan yo pa ta viv pou tèt yo ankò, men pou Li menm ki te mouri an e ki te leve ankò pou yo a.
And he died for all so that those who live may no longer live for themselves, but for him who died for them and was raised.
16 Pou sa a, depi koulye a nou pa rekonèt okenn moun selon lachè. Malgre ke nou te konnen Kris selon lachè, deja koulye a nou pa konnen Li fason sa a ankò.
So from now on we regard no one according to the flesh. Even if we have known Christ according to the flesh, we no longer know him in that way.
17 Donk Si yon moun nan Kris, Li se yon kreyati tounèf. Ansyen bagay yo vin pase. Gade byen, tout bagay vin tounèf.
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. Old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
18 Konsa, tout bagay sa yo sòti nan Bondye ki te rekonsilye nou a Li menm pa Kris la, e ki te bannou ministè rekonsilyasyon an.
And all these things are from God, who reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation,
19 Kòmsi ke Bondye te nan Kris ki t ap rekonsilye mond lan a Li menm, san konte ofans pa yo kont yo menm, e Li te livre bannou, pawòl a rekonsilyasyon an.
namely, that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people's trespasses against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.
20 Konsa, nou se ambasadè pou Kris, tankou si Bondye t ap sèvi nou pou sipliye lòt. Pou sa a, nou priye nou nan non a Kris la pou nou vin rekonsilye ak Bondye.
Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making an appeal through us. We plead on Christ's behalf: “Be reconciled to God.”
21 Li te fè Sila ki pa t konnen okenn peche a devni peche pou nou menm, pou nou ta kapab devni ladwati Bondye nan Li menm.
For God made him who did not know sin to be a sin offering for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
