2 Corinthians 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our brother, to the assembly of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints who are in the whole of Achaia:
Paul, yon apot Kris Jésus pa volonte Bondye, e Timothée, frè nou, a legliz Bondye ki nan Corinthe lan, avèk tout sen ki toupatou nan vil Achaïe yo:
2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Lagras avèk nou ak lapè ki sòti nan Bondye, Papa nou an, ak Senyè a Jésus Kri.
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,
Beni se Bondye ak Papa a Senyè nou an Jésus Kri, Papa a mizerikòd yo, e Bondye a tout rekonfò yo;
4 who comforts us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
ki rekonfòte nou nan tout afliksyon nou yo pou nou kapab rekonfòte sila ki nan nenpòt afliksyon avèk menm rekonfò ke nou menm te rekonfòte pa Bondye a.
5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound to us, even so our comfort also abounds through Christ.
Paske menm jan ke soufrans a Kris yo se pou nou an abondans, konsa tou rekonfò nou an abondans atravè Kris la.
6 But if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation. If we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer.
Men si nou aflije, se pou rekonfò ak sali de nou menm. Si nou rekonfòte, se pou rekonfò pa nou, ki efikas pou nou ka sipòte avèk pasyans, menm soufrans ke nou menm isit la ap soufri yo tou.
7 Our hope for you is steadfast, knowing that, since you are partakers of the sufferings, so you are also of the comfort.
Konsa, espwa nou pou ou tout fonde byen fèm paske nou konnen menm jan ke ou pataje soufrans nou yo avèk nou, ou menm tou ap pataje rekonfò nou yo.
8 For we do not desire to have you uninformed, brothers, concerning our affliction which happened to us in Asia: that we were weighed down exceedingly, beyond our power, so much that we despaired even of life.
Paske nou pa vle nou inyoran, frè m yo, de afliksyon ki te vini sou nou an Asie yo, ke nou te peze anpil anpil, menm depase fòs nou, pou nou te kab menm vin dezespere de lavi nou.
9 Yes, we ourselves have had the sentence of death within ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead,
Vrèman, nou te gen yon kondanasyon lanmò anndan nou, pou nou pa mete konfyans nan tèt nou, men nan Bondye ki fè mò yo leve a,
10 who delivered us out of so great a death, and does deliver, on whom we have set our hope that he will also still deliver us,
ki te delivre nou soti de yon si gran danje lanmò, e Li va delivre nou. Se sou Li menm nou te mete tout espwa nou an. Epi Li va toujou delivre nou;
11 you also helping together on our behalf by your supplication; that, for the gift given to us by means of many, thanks may be given by many persons on your behalf.
nou osi ki jwenn avèk nou menm nan lapriyè, pou remèsiman kapab bay pa anpil moun pou nou, pou gras ke nou resevwa atravè priyè anpil moun.
12 For our boasting is this: the testimony of our conscience that in holiness and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God, we behaved ourselves in the world, and more abundantly toward you.
Paske konfyans fyète nou an se sa; temwayaj konsyans nou, ke nan sentete avèk senserite anvè Bondye, pa nan sajès lachè men nan gras Bondye a, nou kondwi tèt nou nan mond lan, e sitou vè nou menm.
13 For we write no other things to you than what you read or even acknowledge, and I hope you will acknowledge to the end—
Paske nou pa ekri okenn lòt bagay bannou, sof ke sa nou kapab li ak konprann, e m espere ke nou va konprann jiska lafen.
14 as also you acknowledged us in part—that we are your boasting, even as you also are ours, in the day of our Lord Jesus.
Menm jan ou te osi konprann nou nan yon pati a, ke ou se rezon fyète nou nan jou a Senyè nou an Jésus, menm jan tou ke ou se rezon fyète pa nou an.
15 In this confidence, I was determined to come first to you, that you might have a second benefit,
Epi premyèman, se te nan konfyans sila ke m te gen entansyon pou vin kote nou an, pou nou ta kapab resevwa yon benediksyon doub.
16 and by you to pass into Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come to you, and to be sent forward by you on my journey to Judea.
Sa vle di, pou pase kote nou nan antre Macédoine, e osi nan soti Macédoine pou m vin kote nou, pou nou ta kapab ede m nan vwayaj mwen pou rive Judée.
17 When I therefore planned this, did I show fickleness? Or the things that I plan, do I plan according to the flesh, that with me there should be the “Yes, yes” and the “No, no?”
Konsa, èske m te varye lè m te fè nou konnen entansyon sa a? Oswa sa ke m te propoze a, èske m te propoze li selon lachè? Konsa, li ta sanble wi e non ansanm k ap di nan menm lè a?
18 But as God is faithful, our word toward you was not “Yes and no.”
Men jan Bondye fidèl la, pawòl nou anvè ou menm se pa wi avèk non ansanm.
19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us—by me, Silvanus, and Timothy—was not “Yes and no,” but in him is “Yes.”
Paske Fis Bondye a, Kris Jésus, ki te preche pami nou an, pa nou menm—mwen, Silvain, ak Timothée—pa t di wi e non, men te gen wi sèlman nan Li menm.
20 For however many are the promises of God, in him is the “Yes.” Therefore also through him is the “Amen”, to the glory of God through us.
Paske malgre fòs kantite pwomès Bondye yo kon bay, nan Li menm, pwomès yo se “wi”; konsa tou, pa Li menm tou, nou di “Amèn” pou laglwa Bondye atravè nou menm.
21 Now he who establishes us with you in Christ and anointed us is God,
Koulye a, Sila ki etabli nou avèk ou menm an Kris, epi ki te onksyone nou, se Bondye.
22 who also sealed us and gave us the down payment of the Spirit in our hearts.
Se Li ki te mete so Li sou nou e te bannou Lespri a nan kè nou kòm yon pwomès.
23 But I call God for a witness to my soul, that to spare you, I did not come to Corinth.
Men mwen rele Bondye kòm temwen nanm mwen, ke se sèl pou m fè nou gras, m pa t vin Corinthe ankò.
24 We do not control your faith, but are fellow workers with you for your joy. For you stand firm in faith.
Se pa ke nou menm ta domine fwa pa nou, men se ouvriye nou ye ansanm avèk ou pou lajwa ou. Paske nan lafwa a, ou deja kanpe fèm.
