2 Corinthians 5
1 For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. (aiōnios g166)
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)
2 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed on with our house which is from heaven:
Paske vrèman, nan kay sila a, nou plenyen avèk lanvi pou nou abiye nou ak kay nou ki nan syèl la;
3 If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.
kòmsi nou konnen ke lè nou fin mete li, nou p ap janm toutouni ankò.
4 For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed on, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.
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.
5 Now he that has worked us for the selfsame thing is God, who also has given to us the earnest of the Spirit.
Alò, Sila ki te prepare nou pou menm bi sa a, se Bondye, ki te bannou Lespri Sen kòm yon pwomès la.
6 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:
Konsa, toujou avèk bon kouraj, ak konesans ke pandan nou lakay nou nan kò a, nou absan de Senyè a,
7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight: )
paske nou mache pa lafwa, e pa selon sa nou wè.
8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
Men, mwen di nou, nou gen bon kouraj. Nou prefere pito absan de kò a pou prezan lakay nou avèk Senyè a.
9 Why we labor, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.
Konsa nou gen osi kòm dezi, pou, kit nou lakay, kit nou absan, pou fè Li menm plezi.
10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he has done, whether it be good or bad.
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.
11 Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest to God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.
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.
12 For we commend not ourselves again to you, but give you occasion to glory on our behalf, that you may have somewhat to answer them which glory in appearance, and not in heart.
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.
13 For whether we be beside ourselves, it is to God: or whether we be sober, it is for your cause.
Paske si nou vin debòde, se pou Bondye. Epi si nou nan bon sans nou, se pou nou menm.
14 For the love of Christ constrains us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:
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.
15 And that he died for all, that they which live should not from now on live to themselves, but to him which died for them, and rose again.
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.
16 Why from now on know we no man after the flesh: yes, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now from now on know we him no more.
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.
17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
Donk Si yon moun nan Kris, Li se yon kreyati tounèf. Ansyen bagay yo vin pase. Gade byen, tout bagay vin tounèf.
18 And all things are of God, who has reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and has given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
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.
19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, not imputing their trespasses to them; and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.
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.
20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be you reconciled to God.
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.
21 For he has made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
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.
