2 Korint 1
1 Paul, yon apot Kris Jésus pa volonte Bondye, e Timothée, frè nou, a legliz Bondye ki nan Corinthe lan, avèk tout sen ki toupatou nan vil Achaïe yo:
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, and Timothy my brother, to the church of God which is in Corinth, with all the saints that are in all Achaia:
2 Lagras avèk nou ak lapè ki sòti nan Bondye, Papa nou an, ak Senyè a Jésus Kri.
grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Beni se Bondye ak Papa a Senyè nou an Jésus Kri, Papa a mizerikòd yo, e Bondye a tout rekonfò yo;
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort,
4 ki rekonfòte nou nan tout afliksyon nou yo pou nou kapab rekonfòte sila ki nan nenpòt afliksyon avèk menm rekonfò ke nou menm te rekonfòte pa Bondye a.
who con soles us in all our afflictions, so that we are able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
5 Paske menm jan ke soufrans a Kris yo se pou nou an abondans, konsa tou rekonfò nou an abondans atravè Kris la.
For as the sufferings for the Christ abound in us, so also through Christ abounds our consolation.
6 Men si nou aflije, se pou rekonfò ak sali de nou menm. Si nou rekonfòte, se pou rekonfò pa nou, ki efikas pou nou ka sipòte avèk pasyans, menm soufrans ke nou menm isit la ap soufri yo tou.
And if we are afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which salvation is effected by your patient endurance of the same sufferings that we also suffer; (and our hope in you is steadfast; ) or if we are consoled, it is for your comfort and salvation;
7 Konsa, espwa nou pou ou tout fonde byen fèm paske nou konnen menm jan ke ou pataje soufrans nou yo avèk nou, ou menm tou ap pataje rekonfò nou yo.
because we know, that as you are partakers of the sufferings, so also you shall be partakers of the comfort.
8 Paske nou pa vle nou inyoran, frè m yo, de afliksyon ki te vini sou nou an Asie yo, ke nou te peze anpil anpil, menm depase fòs nou, pou nou te kab menm vin dezespere de lavi nou.
For we do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning our affliction which came upon us in Asia, that we were exceedingly oppressed, beyond our strength, so that we despaired even of life.
9 Vrèman, nou te gen yon kondanasyon lanmò anndan nou, pou nou pa mete konfyans nan tèt nou, men nan Bondye ki fè mò yo leve a,
But we have in ourselves the sentence of death, that we may not trust in ourselves, but in God, who raises the dead;
10 ki te delivre nou soti de yon si gran danje lanmò, e Li va delivre nou. Se sou Li menm nou te mete tout espwa nou an. Epi Li va toujou delivre nou;
who delivered us from so great a death, and does still deliver us: in whom we have confidence, that he will continue to deliver us,
11 nou osi ki jwenn avèk nou menm nan lapriyè, pou remèsiman kapab bay pa anpil moun pou nou, pou gras ke nou resevwa atravè priyè anpil moun.
if you also unite in prayer for our aid, that the favor bestowed on us, through the intercession of many persons, may cause thanks to be given by many for us.
12 Paske konfyans fyète nou an se sa; temwayaj konsyans nou, ke nan sentete avèk senserite anvè Bondye, pa nan sajès lachè men nan gras Bondye a, nou kondwi tèt nou nan mond lan, e sitou vè nou menm.
For the ground of our rejoicing is this: the testimony of our conscience that we have lived in the world more―abundantly, indeed, for you―in sincerity and godly purity, not in carnal wisdom, but in the grace of God.
13 Paske nou pa ekri okenn lòt bagay bannou, sof ke sa nou kapab li ak konprann, e m espere ke nou va konprann jiska lafen.
For we write to you nothing else than what you recognize, or even acknowledge; and which I hope you will acknowledge to the end;
14 Menm jan ou te osi konprann nou nan yon pati a, ke ou se rezon fyète nou nan jou a Senyè nou an Jésus, menm jan tou ke ou se rezon fyète pa nou an.
as some of you also acknowledge us, that we are the cause of your rejoicing, even as you, also, are of ours, in the day of the Lord Jesus.
15 Epi premyèman, se te nan konfyans sila ke m te gen entansyon pou vin kote nou an, pou nou ta kapab resevwa yon benediksyon doub.
And in this confidence I intended to go to you before, that you might have a second benefit;
16 Sa vle di, pou pase kote nou nan antre Macédoine, e osi nan soti Macédoine pou m vin kote nou, pou nou ta kapab ede m nan vwayaj mwen pou rive Judée.
and by you, to pass through into Macedonia, and to come again to you from Macedonia, and be conducted by you into Judea.
17 Konsa, èske m te varye lè m te fè nou konnen entansyon sa a? Oswa sa ke m te propoze a, èske m te propoze li selon lachè? Konsa, li ta sanble wi e non ansanm k ap di nan menm lè a?
In forming this purpose, did I, therefore, behave with levity? or do I purpose what I purpose, according to the flesh, that there may be with me, yes yes, and no, no?
18 Men jan Bondye fidèl la, pawòl nou anvè ou menm se pa wi avèk non ansanm.
But God is true; for our preaching to you was not yes and no:
19 Paske Fis Bondye a, Kris Jésus, ki te preche pami nou an, pa nou menm—mwen, Silvain, ak Timothée—pa t di wi e non, men te gen wi sèlman nan Li menm.
for the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, by me and Sylvanus and Timothy, was not yes and no, but in him was yes.
20 Paske malgre fòs kantite pwomès Bondye yo kon bay, nan Li menm, pwomès yo se “wi”; konsa tou, pa Li menm tou, nou di “Amèn” pou laglwa Bondye atravè nou menm.
For whatever promises of God there are, are in him yes, and in him amen, to the glory of God by us.
21 Koulye a, Sila ki etabli nou avèk ou menm an Kris, epi ki te onksyone nou, se Bondye.
For he who establishes us with you in Christ, and has anointed us, is God,
22 Se Li ki te mete so Li sou nou e te bannou Lespri a nan kè nou kòm yon pwomès.
who has also set his seal upon us, and given us the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.
23 Men mwen rele Bondye kòm temwen nanm mwen, ke se sèl pou m fè nou gras, m pa t vin Corinthe ankò.
But I call on God as a witness against my soul, that wishing to spare you, I did not go to Corinth;
24 Se pa ke nou menm ta domine fwa pa nou, men se ouvriye nou ye ansanm avèk ou pou lajwa ou. Paske nan lafwa a, ou deja kanpe fèm.
not that we are lords over your faith, but fellow-workers for your joy: for by faith you stand.
