2 Korint 2

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

So I decided for my own part that I would not again come to you in painful circumstances.

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?

If I caused you pain, who could cheer me up but the very one who was hurt 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.

I wrote as I did in order that when I came to you I might not be hurt by those who should have made me rejoice. I have confidence about all of you that my joy is the same joy you all have.

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 I wrote to you from great affliction, with anguish of heart, and with many tears. I did not want to cause you pain. Instead, I wanted you to know the depth of the love that I have 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.

If anyone has caused pain, he has not caused it only to me, but in some measure—not to put it too harshly—to all of you.

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

This punishment of that person by the majority is enough.

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 now rather than punishment, you should forgive and comfort him. Do this so that he is not overwhelmed by 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.

So I encourage you to publicly affirm your love for 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.

This was the reason I wrote, so that I might test you and know whether you are obedient in everything.

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,

If you forgive anyone, I forgive that person as well. What I have forgiven—if I have forgiven anything—it is forgiven for your sake in the presence of Christ.

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

This is so that Satan will not trick us. For we are not ignorant of his plans.

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.

A door was opened to me by the Lord when I came to the city of Troas to preach the gospel of Christ there.

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 in my spirit, because I did not find my brother Titus there. So I left them and went on to 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 may thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumph. Through us he spreads the sweet aroma of the knowledge of him everywhere.

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 to God the sweet aroma of Christ, both among those who are saved and among those who 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 people who are perishing, it is an aroma from death to death. To the ones being saved, it is an aroma from life to life. Who is worthy of 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 like so many people who sell the word of God for profit. Instead, with purity of motives, we speak in Christ, as we are sent from God, in the sight of God.
