2 Corinthians 6
1 Working together, we entreat also that you do not receive the grace of God in vain.
Se poutèt sa, mwen menm k'ap travay ak Bondye, mwen mande nou pou nou pa kite favè nou resevwa nan men Bondye a gaspiye.
2 For he says, “At an acceptable time I listened to you. In a day of salvation I helped you.” Behold, now is the acceptable time. Behold, now is the day of salvation.
Paske, nan Liv la Bondye te di: Mwen te koute ou, lè lè a te rive pou m' te fè ou gras la. Mwen te pote ou sekou, lè jou a te rive pou m' te delivre ou la. Enben, koulye a, men lè a rive pou n' resevwa favè Bondye a; se jòdi a menm nou ka jwenn delivrans.
3 We give no occasion of stumbling in anything, that our service may not be blamed,
Mwen pa ta vle pesonn jwenn anyen pou kritike nan travay mwen. Se poutèt sa, m'ap chache mwayen nan travay mwen pou m' pa bay pesonn okazyon tonbe nan peche.
4 but in everything commending ourselves as servants of God: in great endurance, in afflictions, in hardships, in distresses,
Okontrè, nan tout bagay, mwen fè tout moun wè se Bondye m'ap sèvi. Se avèk anpil pasyans mwen sipòte tout kalite soufrans, tout kalite lafliksyon ak tout kalite kè sere.
5 in beatings, in imprisonments, in riots, in labors, in watchings, in fastings,
Yo bat mwen, yo mete m' nan prizon. Yo moute tèt moun sou do mwen, yo fè m' fè travo fòse. Yo fè m' pase nwit san dòmi, yo fè m' rete san manje.
6 in pureness, in knowledge, in perseverance, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in sincere love,
Mwen fè tout moun wè se moun k'ap sèvi Bondye mwen ye pou jan m' mache dwat, pou jan m' konn verite a, pou jan m' gen pasyans ak bon kè, pou jan m' kite Sentespri dirije lavi m', pou jan m' renmen tout moun ak tout kè mwen,
7 in the word of truth, in the power of God, by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
pou jan m'ap mache bay verite a, pou jan Bondye soutni m' ak pouvwa li. Mwen sèvi ak tout bagay ki dwat tankou zam, kit pou atake, kit pou defann tèt mwen.
8 by glory and dishonor, by evil report and good report, as deceivers and yet true,
Yon lè yo respekte mwen, yon lòt lè yo fè m' wont. Yon lè yo pale byen pou mwen, yon lòt lè yo pale m' mal. Yo fè m' pase pou moun k'ap bay manti, men se verite a m'ap di.
9 as unknown and yet well known, as dying and behold—we live, as punished and not killed,
Yo fè m' pase pou moun pesonn pa konnen, men tout moun konnen m' byen pwòp. Yo fè m' pase pou moun ki fin mouri, men mwen byen vivan. Yo bat mwen, men yo pa touye mwen.
10 as sorrowful yet always rejoicing, as poor yet making many rich, as having nothing and yet possessing all things.
Y'ap fè m' lapenn, men mwen toujou gen kè kontan. Mwen sanblè m' pòv, men mwen fè anpil moun rich. Mwen sanble m' pa gen anyen, men se mwen menm ki gen tout bagay.
11 Our mouth is open to you, Corinthians. Our heart is enlarged.
Zanmi m' yo, moun Korent, mwen pale kare avè nou, mwen louvri tout kè m' ban nou.
12 You are not restricted by us, but you are restricted by your own affections.
Se pa mwen ki te fèmen kè m' ban nou, se nou menm ki te fèmen kè nou ban mwen.
13 Now in return—I speak as to my children—you also open your hearts.
Se poutèt sa, m'ap pale avè nou tankou si nou te pitit mwen. Santiman mwen gen pou nou an se li menm tou pou nou gen pou mwen: louvri tout kè nou ban mwen.
14 Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship do righteousness and iniquity have? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness?
Pa mete tèt nou ansanm ak moun ki pa gen konfyans nan Kris la: Se pa sosyete konsa ki bon pou nou. Ki jan nou ta vle wè sa pou bagay ki bon, bagay ki dwat, mele ak bagay ki mal? Ki jan pou limyè ta ka mache ak fènwa?
15 What agreement does Christ have with Belial? Or what portion does a believer have with an unbeliever?
Kouman Kris la ta ka antann li ak Satan? Osinon, kisa yon moun ki kwè gen pou wè ansanm ak moun ki pa kwè?
16 What agreement does a temple of God have with idols? For you are a temple of the living God. Even as God said, “I will dwell in them and walk in them. I will be their God and they will be my people.”
Kisa kay Bondye a gen pou wè ak zidòl? Nou se kay Bondye vivan an, pa vre? Se Bondye menm ki di sa: M'a vin rete, m'a viv nan mitan yo. M'a tounen Bondye yo, y'a tounen pèp mwen.
17 Therefore “‘Come out from among them, and be separate,’ says the Lord. ‘Touch no unclean thing. I will receive you.
Se poutèt sa, Bondye te di nou: Soti nan mitan moun sa yo. Pa mele ak yo. Pa manyen anyen nou pa dwe manyen. Lè sa a, mwen menm, m'a resevwa nou.
18 I will be to you a Father. You will be to me sons and daughters,’ says the Lord Almighty.”
M'a tankou yon papa pou nou. Nou menm, n'a tankou pitit gason m' ak pitit fi mwen. Se Mèt ki gen tout pouvwa a ki di sa.
