< 2 Korint 7 >
1 Konsa, paske nou gen pwomès sa yo byeneme, annou netwaye tèt nou de tout salte lachè ak lespri, e vin konplete lasentete nan lakrent Bondye.
Having therefore these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from every filthiness of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in fear of God.
2 Fè espas pou nou nan kè nou. Nou pa t fè pèsòn mal. Nou pa t fè pèsòn vin konwonpi, ni nou pa t pran avantaj sou okenn moun.
Make room for us. We wronged no man, we corrupted no man, we exploited no man.
3 Mwen pa pale pou kondane nou, paske Mwen te di avan sa, nou nan kè nou jis nou rive mouri ansanm e viv ansanm.
I speak not for condemnation, for I have said before that ye are in our hearts to die together and to live together.
4 Konfyans mwen gen nan nou an gran. Fyète m lè m nonmen non nou an gran. Mwen ranpli avèk rekonfò. M ap debòde avèk lajwa nan tout afliksyon nou yo.
Great is my boldness toward you, great is my pride for you. I have been filled with encouragement. I over-abound with joy in all our affliction.
5 Paske menm lè nou te vini Macédoine, chè nou pa t gen okenn repo, men nou te aflije toupatou: konfli deyò, laperèz anndan.
For even when we came into Macedonia our flesh had not one relief, but being oppressed in everything: battles outside, fears within.
6 Men Bondye, ki rekonfòte sila k ap viv nan afliksyon yo, te rekonfòte nou lè Tite te vini an.
Nevertheless God, who encourages the lowly, encouraged us by the arrival of Titus.
7 Pa sèlman vini li an, men osi pa rekonfò avèk sila li te rekonfòte nou an, lè li te bannou rapò de dezi nou genyen an, tristès nou, zèl ke nou te gen pou mwen an; pou m te rejwi plis toujou.
And not only by his presence, but also by the encouragement with which he was encouraged by you, reporting to us your earnest desire, your mourning, your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced the more.
8 Paske malgre ke m te koze tristès pa lèt mwen an, mwen pa regrèt sa; sepandan mwen te regrèt li. Paske mwen wè ke lèt sa a te koze tristès nou, malgre sèlman pou yon ti tan.
Because even though I grieved you in the letter, I am not remorseful (even though I was remorseful), for I perceive that that letter grieved you, even though for an hour.
9 Koulye a, mwen rejwi, pa paske mwen te fè nou tris, men ke nou te vin tris jis pou mennen nou a larepantans. Paske mwen te fè nou tris selon volonte Bondye, jis pou nou pa ta soufri pèt nan okenn bagay akoz nou menm.
Now I rejoice, not that ye were grieved, but that ye were grieved for repentance. For ye were grieved toward God, so that ye might suffer loss from us in nothing.
10 Paske tristès ki selon volonte Bondye a prodwi yon repantans ki san regrè, ki mennen nan sali; men tristès a mond lan prodwi lanmò.
For sorrow toward God works repentance for salvation without regret, but the sorrow of the world works death.
11 Paske gade byen avèk ki senserite menm bagay sa a, tristès sa ki sòti nan Bondye a, te vin prodwi nan nou. Kèl jistifikasyon pou nou menm, kèl endiyasyon, kèl krent, kèl dezi, kèl zèl, kèl retribisyon kont lemal. Nan tout bagay nou te montre a tèt nou, nou inosan nan zafè sila a.
For behold this same thing-your grieving toward God. How much eagerness it worked in you, even a defense, even indignation, even fear, even longing, even zeal, even vengeance! In everything ye demonstrated yourselves to be pure in the matter.
12 Donk, malgre m te ekri nou, se pa t pou koz a sila ki te fè ofans lan, ni pou koz a sila ki te donmaje a, men pou Bondye ta kapab konfime nan ou senserite ou anvè nou menm.
And so then, although I wrote to you, it was not because of the man who did wrong, nor because of the man who was wronged, but in order to reveal to you your eagerness for us in the sight of God.
13 Pou rezon sa a, nou te rekonfòte. Epi anplis de rekonfò nou, nou te rejwi menm plis pou lajwa a Tite, paske lespri li te vin rafrechi pa nou tout.
Because of this we have been encouraged. And from your encouragement, we rejoiced to a greater degree more at the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed by you all.
14 Paske si nan yon bagay mwen te fè nou konpliman a li menm, nou pa t fè m wont. Men menm jan ke nou te pale tout bagay anverite a nou menm nan, menm jan an osi tout konpliman nou te pale Tite de nou te vin fè prèv ke se te verite.
Because, if I have boasted anything to him about you, I am not ashamed, but as we spoke all things in truth to you, so also our boast to Titus became truth.
15 Afeksyon Li anvè nou ap vin plis toujou lè li sonje obeyisans nou tout, jan nou te resevwa li avèk lakrent e avèk tranbleman.
And his bowels are more abundant toward you, remembering the obedience of you all, how ye received him with fear and trembling.
16 Mwen rejwi ke nan tout bagay mwen gen konfyans nan nou.
I rejoice that I have confidence in you in everything.
