2 Korint 11
1 Mwen ta renmen nou pèmèt mwen pran pòz moun fou m' pou yon ti moman. Enben, wi, pèmèt mwen fè sa.
I could wish that you would tolerate a little folly in me! But indeed you do tolerate me.
2 M'ap fè jalouzi pou nou, yon jalouzi ki soti nan Bondye. Paske, nou tankou yon jenn fi ki pa nan dezòd. Mwen fiyanse nou ak yon sèl gason. Gason sa a se Kris la.
I am jealous over you with the jealousy of God. For I promised you in marriage as a pure bride, to one husband – the Christ.
3 Men, mwen pè pou lespri nou pa pèvèti, pou nou pa manke Kris la pawòl, pou nou pa tonbe nan dezòd tankou Ev ki te kite sèpan an vire lòlòj li ak riz li yo.
Yet I fear that it may turn out that, just as the snake by his craftiness deceived Eve, so your minds may have lost the loyalty and purity due from you to the Christ.
4 Mwen di sa paske mwen wè nou kite nenpòt ki moun vin fè nou konnen yon Jezi ki pa menm ak Jezi mwen te fè nou konnen an, epi nou pa di anyen. Mwen wè nou pare pou n' asepte yon lespri ak yon mesaj ki pa menm ni ak Lespri Bondye a, ni ak bon nouvèl mwen te ban nou an.
For, if some newcomer is proclaiming a Jesus other than him whom we proclaimed, or if you are receiving a Spirit different from the Spirit which you received, or a good news different from that which you welcomed, then you are marvellously tolerant!
5 Pou mwen, mwen pa wè sa apòt ki kwè yo plis pase tout moun yo gen pase mwen.
I do not regard myself as in any way inferior to the most eminent apostles!
6 Mwen ka pa konn pale byen, men pou konesans la, se pa menm bagay. Nan tout okazyon ak nan tout bagay mwen te toujou fè nou wè sa.
Though I am no trained orator, yet I am not without knowledge; indeed we made this perfectly clear to you in every way.
7 Lè m' te anonse nou bon nouvèl Bondye a, mwen te fè sa gratis pou nou, mwen te desann tèt mwen pou m' te ka fè nou kanpe. Eske mwen te gen tò lè m' te fè sa?
Perhaps you say that I did wrong in humbling myself that you might be exalted – I mean because I told you God’s good news without payment.
8 Lè sa a, mwen te asepte lajan nan men lòt legliz yo. Se tankou si m' te pran nan sa ki pou yo pou m' te kapab ede nou.
I robbed other churches by taking pay from them, so that I might serve you!
9 Pandan tout tan mwen te pase lakay nou an, mwen pa t' sou kont pesonn lè m' te bezwen lajan, paske frè ki soti Masedwan yo te pote tou sa m' te bezwen pou mwen. Mwen te pran kont prekosyon m' pou m' pa t' sou kont nou yonn pou anyen, epi m'ap toujou pran menm prekosyon sa a.
And, when I was with you in need, I did not become a burden to any of you; for our friends, on coming from Macedonia, supplied my needs. I kept myself, and will keep myself from being an expense to you in any way.
10 Jan mwen sèten mwen konnen verite Kris la, mwen pa ka bay manti, se konsa m'ap di nou sa: rezon sa a mwen genyen pou m' vante tèt mwen nan tout peyi Lakayi a, pesonn p'ap kapab wete l' nan men mwen.
As surely as I know anything of the truth of Christ, this boast, as far as I am concerned, will not be stopped in any part of Greece.
11 Poukisa? Eske se paske mwen pa renmen nou? Se Bondye ki konnen jan mwen renmen nou.
Why? Because I do not love you? God knows that I do!
12 Men, m'ap toujou aji jan m'ap aji koulye a, pou m' pa bay moun k'ap chache okazyon pou yo fè grandizè chans pou yo ka di yo travay menm jan ak mwen.
What I am doing now I will continue to do in order to cut away the ground from under those who are wishing for some ground for attacking me, so that as regards the thing of which they boast they may appear in their true characters, just as we do.
13 Moun sa yo, se pòz apòt yo y'ap pran. Y'ap bay manti sou travay yo, y'ap fè tèt yo pase pou apòt Kris la.
Such people are false apostles, treacherous workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ!
14 Pa gen anyen la a ki pou fè n' sezi: ata Satan ka ranje kò l' pou l' pran pòz yon zanj limyè.
And no wonder; for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.
15 Si moun k'ap sèvi Satan yo pran pòz moun k'ap sèvi sa ki byen, pa gen anyen ki dwòl nan sa. Men, bout pou bout y'a jwenn sa y'ap chache a.
It is not surprising, therefore, if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. But their end will be in accordance with their actions.
16 M'ap repete sa m' te di a: Piga pesonn pran m' pou moun fou. Men, si nou pran m' pou moun fou, kite m' pran pòz moun fou m' vre pou m' kapab vante tèt mwen yon ti kras tou.
I say again – Let no one think me a fool! Yet, if you do, at least welcome me as you would a fool, so that I, too may indulge in a little boasting.
17 Sa m'ap di koulye a, se pa sa menm Seyè a ta renmen m' di. Men, nan pozisyon yo mete m' ki fè m' ka vante tèt mwen an, m'ap pale tankou si m' te fou.
When I speak like this, I am not speaking as the Master would, but as a fool might, in boasting so confidently.
18 Sitèlman gen moun k'ap vante tèt yo pou bagay y'ap fè sou latè, kite m' vante tèt mwen tou.
As so many are boasting of earthly things, I, too, will boast.
19 Nou menm ki gen bon konprann nou pa manke tolere moun fou!
For all your cleverness, you tolerate fools willingly enough!
20 Nou kite yo fè nou tounen esklav, nou kite yo devore nou, nou kite yo pran nou nan pèlen, nou kite yo fè awogans sou nou, nou kite yo ban nou souflèt.
You tolerate a person even when they enslave you, when they plunder you, when they get you into their power, when they put on airs of superiority, when they strike you in the face!
21 Wi, mwen wont di sa: Mwen te twò fèb pou m' te aji jan m' te aji ak nou an! Men, si gen moun ki ka pèmèt yo vante tèt yo pou lòt bagay (pa bliye m'ap pale tankou yon moun fou wi!) mwen menm tou m'ap pèmèt mwen fè sa tou.
I admit, to my shame, that we have been weak. But whatever the subject on which others are not afraid to boast – though it is foolish to say so – I am not afraid either!
22 Eske yo se pitit pitit Ebè? Mwen menm tou. Eske yo se moun ras Izrayèl la? Mwen menm tou. Eske yo se pitit pitit Abraram? Mwen menm tou.
Are they Hebrews? So am I! Are they Israelites? So am I! Are they descendants of Abraham? So am I!
23 Eske yo se moun k'ap sèvi Kris la? (M'ap pale koulye a tankou moun ki deraye nèt.) Mwen sèvi Kris la plis pase yo: mwen travay pase yo, yo mete m' nan prizon pi plis pase yo, yo bat mwen pi plis pase yo, mwen manke mouri pi souvan pase yo.
Are they “Servants of Christ”? Though it is madness to talk like this, I am more so than they! I have had more of toil, more of imprisonment! I have been flogged times without number. I have been often at death’s door.
24 An senk fwa, jwif yo ban m' trant nèf kout fwèt.
Five times I received at the hands of my own people forty lashes, all but one.
25 An twa fwa, women yo bat mwen. Yon fwa yo kalonnen m' wòch pou yo te touye mwen. Batiman koule avè m' twa fwa. Yon fwa menm mwen pase yon jou ak yon nwit nan dlo.
Three times I was beaten with rods. Once I was stoned. Three times I was shipwrecked. I have spent a whole day and night in the deep.
26 Anpil fwa menm, lè m'ap vwayaje konsa dlo larivyè manke pote m' ale. Bandi manke touye m', jwif yo manke touye m' tou, ata moun lòt nasyon yo manke touye m' tou. Mwen te an danje nan lavil, mwen te an danje andeyò, mwen te an danje sou lanmè. Ata swadizan frè yo manke touye mwen.
My journeys have been many. I have been through dangers from rivers, dangers from robbers, dangers from my own people, dangers from the Gentiles, dangers in towns, dangers in the country, dangers on the sea, dangers among people pretending to be followers of the Lord.
27 Mwen redi travay di, mwen fatige kò m' anpil, mwen pase anpil nwit san dòmi, mwen konnen sa ki rele grangou ak swaf dlo. Anpil fwa mwen te blije rete san manje, mwen soufri fredi, mwen konn pa gen rad pou m' mete sou mwen.
I have been through toil and hardship. I have passed many a sleepless night; I have endured hunger and thirst; I have often been without food; I have known cold and nakedness.
28 San konte anpil lòt bagay ankò, chak jou se tèt chaje pou mwen ak bagay mwen gen pou m' regle pou tout legliz yo.
And, not to speak of other things, there is my daily burden of anxiety about all the churches.
29 Si yon moun fèb, lamenm mwen fèb tou. Si yon moun tonbe nan peche, sa rann mwen malad.
Who is weak without my being weak? Who is led astray without my burning with indignation?
30 Si se pou m' vante tèt mwen, m'a vante tèt mwen pou tout bagay ki pou moutre jan m' fèb.
If I must boast, I will boast of things which show my weakness!
31 Bondye ki Papa Seyè Jezi a (li menm k'ap resevwa lwanj tout tan an), li konnen mwen p'ap bay manti. (aiōn g165)
The God and Father of the Lord Jesus – he who is for ever blessed – knows that I am speaking the truth. (aiōn g165)
32 Lè m' te lavil Damas, moun wa Aretas te mete pou gouvènen lavil la pran gad, li mete yo nan tout pòtay lavil la pou yo te arete m'.
When I was in Damascus, the Governor under King Aretas had the gates of that city guarded, so as to arrest me,
33 Men frè yo fè m' pase nan yon fennèt nan gwo miray lavil la. Yo file m' desann nan yon panyen. Se konsa mwen te chape kò m' anba men li.
but I was let down in a basket through a window in the wall, and so escaped his hands.
