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 for myself, that I would not come again to you with sorrow.

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 make you sorry, who then is he that maketh 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 this very thing, lest, when I came, I should have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having 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 anguish of heart I wrote unto you with many tears; not that ye should be made sorry, but that ye might know the love which I have more abundantly unto 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 hath caused sorrow, he hath caused sorrow, not to me, but in part (that I press not too heavily) to you all.

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

Sufficient to such a one is this punishment which was [inflicted] by the many;

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 contrariwise ye should rather forgive him and comfort him, lest by any means such a one should be swallowed up with his overmuch 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 beseech you to confirm [your] love toward him.

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 to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether ye 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,

But to whom ye forgive anything, I [forgive] also: for what I also have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, for your sakes [have I forgiven it] 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.

that no advantage may be gained over 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.

Now when I came to Troas for the gospel of Christ, and when a door was opened unto 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 relief for my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother: but taking my leave of them, I went forth 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.

But thanks be unto God, which always leadeth us in triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest through us the savour of his knowledge in every place.

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 we are a sweet savour of Christ unto God, in them that are being saved, and in them that are perishing;

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 a savour from death unto death; to the other a savour from life unto 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 are not as the many, corrupting the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God, speak we in Christ.
