2 Korint 2

1 Se konsa, mwen pran desizyon pou m' pa vin lakay nou pou m' pa fè nou lapenn ankò.

But I determined this in myself, that with sorrow I would not again come to you:

2 Si pou m' ta fè nou lapenn, ki moun ki pou ta fè kè m' kontan ankò? Eske se ta moun mwen ta fè lapenn yo?

for if I cause you to grieve, who is he that makes me glad, but he that is made sorry by me?

3 Se poutèt sa, mwen ekri nou jan m' te fè l' la: mwen pa t' vle pou lè m' rive lakay nou, moun ki pou ta fè kè m' kontan yo, se yo menm ki pou ta fè m' lapenn. Paske, mwen gen fèm konviksyon sa a, lè m' kontan, nou tout nou kontan tou.

And I wrote to you this very thing, that, on coming to you, I might not have sorrow from those from whom I ought to receive joy; because I have confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all.

4 Wi. Lè sa a, kè m' te boulvèse anpil, kè m' te sere, se ak dlo nan je mwen te ekri nou. Mwen pa t' fè sa pou fè nou lapenn non. Se vle mwen te vle fè nou konnen jan m' renmen nou anpil.

For out of much affliction and distress of heart, I wrote to you with many tears: not that you might be grieved, but that you might know the love which I have more abundantly for you.

5 Si yon moun fè yon lòt lapenn, se pa mwen li fè lapenn, men se nou tout, moun Korent, li fè lapenn. Pou m' pa al twò lwen, pito m' di se kèk nan nou li fè lapenn.

But if any one has caused grief, he has grieved, not me only, but, in some measure―not to speak harshly―all of you.

6 Pifò nan nou gen tan peni nonm sa a, se kont li.

Sufficient for such a one is the punishment, which was inflicted by the greater number:

7 Koulye a se pou nou padonnen l', se pou nou ba li ankourajman pito, pou yon twò gwo lapenn pa kraze l' nèt.

so that, on the other hand, you should rather forgive and comfort him, lest such a one should be swallowed up in too much sorrow.

8 Se poutèt sa, m'ap mande nou pou nou aji avè l' yon jan pou fè l' wè jan nou renmen li.

Wherefore, I exhort you to give him an assurance of your love.

9 Se pou sa menm mwen te ekri nou: mwen te vle sonde nou pou m' te konnen si nou toujou soti pou nou koute tou sa m' di nou.

For I wrote to you for this purpose also, that I might have a sure proof from you, whether you are obedient in all things.

10 Enben, lè nou menm nou padonnen yon moun pou mal li fè a, mwen menm tou mwen padonnen li. Lè mwen menm mwen padonnen li, pou di vre, mwen pa gen anyen pou m' padonnen non, men, lè m' fè sa, mwen fè l' pou nou devan Kris la,

Whom you forgive any thing, I forgive it also: for what I have forgiven, if I have forgiven any thing, I have forgiven for your sake, in the person of Christ,

11 pou pa bay Satan okenn avantaj sou nou. Paske nou konnen byen pwòp sa Satan gen nan tèt li.

lest an advantage should be taken of us by Satan; for we are not ignorant of his devices.

12 Lè mwen te lavil Twoas pou m' te anonse Bon Nouvèl ki pale sou Kris la, Seyè a te ban m' yon bèl okazyon pou m' te travay la.

And when I came to Troas to preach the gospel of the Christ, and a door was opened to me in the Lord,

13 Men, kè m' te sere anpil, paske mwen pa t' jwenn Tit, frè nou an. Se poutèt sa mwen di moun Twoas yo orevwa, epi m' pati pou Masedwan.

I had no rest in my spirit, because I did not find Titus my brother; but I took leave of them, and went into Macedonia.

14 Ann di Bondye mèsi! Paske l'ap toujou mennen nou ansanm ak Kris la pou fete batay li genyen an. Li pran nou, li sèvi ak nou tankou yon odè k'ap gaye bon sant li toupatou, pou n' ka fè tout moun konnen Kris la.

Now, thanks be to God, who always causes us to triumph in the Christ, and sheds in every place, by us, the fragrance of the knowledge of himself.

15 Nou tankou yon bon lansan Kris la ap boule pou Bondye. Sant li rive nan men tout moun, kit y'ap sove, kit y'ap peri.

For, through God, we are a sweet odor of Christ, among the saved, and among the lost:

16 Pou moun k'ap peri yo, se yon sant lanmò k'ap touye yo. Men, pou moun k'ap sove yo, se yon sant lavi k'ap ba yo lavi. Ki moun ki kapab fè yon travay konsa?

to the one, we are the odor of death ending in death; to the other, the odor of life ending in life: and who is sufficient for these things?

17 Nou pa tankou anpil moun k'ap defòme pawòl Bondye a. Okontrè, nou pale pawòl la jan li ye a devan Bondye, tankou moun k'ap viv nan Kris la, paske se Bondye menm ki voye nou.

For we do not, as the many, adulterate the word of God; but, as from sincerity, but, as from God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.
