II Corinthians 13

This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.

M'ap vin lakay nou pou yon twazyèm fwa. Lè sa a, jan sa ekri nan Liv la, tout bagay va regle sou depozisyon de osinon twa temwen.

I told you before, and foretell you, as if I were present, the second time; and being absent now I write to them which heretofore have sinned, and to all other, that, if I come again, I will not spare:

M'ap avèti nou tout ki te fè peche anvan sa, ansanm ak tout lòt yo. Mwen te deja di nou sa lè m' te vin lakay nou dezyèm fwa a. Koulye a mwen pa la, m'ap repete l' ankò: pwochenn fwa m'ap tounen lakay nou, mwen p'ap mennaje pesonn.

Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, which to you-ward is not weak, but is mighty in you.

Nou bezwen prèv se Kris la k'ap pale lè m'ap pale, enben n'a jwenn li. Kris la pa fèb non lè l'ap regle ak nou. Okontrè, l'ap fè nou wè pouvwa li.

For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God toward you.

Wi, se vre: yo te kloure l' sou yon kwa paske li te fèb. Men koulye a, li vivan gremesi pouvwa Bondye a. Mwen menm tou, mwen fèb ansanm ak Kris la. Men, lè m'ap regle avèk nou, mwen vivan ansanm avè l' tou, gremesi pouvwa Bondye a.

Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?

Sonde tèt nou nou menm, egzaminen konsyans nou byen pou wè si n'ap viv ak konfyans nan Bondye. Nou fèt pou nou rekonèt si Jezikri nan kè nou, esepte si nou pa ta kapab bay prèv nou gen konfyans nan Bondye.

But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates.

Men, mwen kwè n'a rekonèt sa tou: mwen menm, mwen kapab bay prèv mwen gen konfyans nan Bondye.

Now I pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we should appear approved, but that ye should do that which is honest, though we be as reprobates.

M'ap lapriyè Bondye pou nou pa fè anyen ki mal. Lè m' fè sa, mwen pa fè l' nan lide pou m' moutre sa m' kapab fè. Men, mwen ta renmen wè nou fè sa ki byen, menm si mwen pase pou moun ki pa kapab fè anyen.

For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.

Nou pa ka fè anyen ki kont verite Bondye a, se pou li ase nou ka travay.

For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong: and this also we wish, even your perfection.

Mwen kontan nèt lè mwen menm mwen fèb, epi nou menm nou gen fòs. Se sak fè, m'ap mande nan lapriyè m' pou nou vin bon nèt sou tout pwen.

Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I should use sharpness, according to the power which the Lord hath given me to edification, and not to destruction.

M'ap ekri nou konsa lè mwen lwen nou, se pou lè m' rive lakay nou, mwen pa bezwen aji sevè avèk nou. Otorite Seyè a ban mwen an, se pa pou detwi nou non li ban mwen li. Men, se pou fè nou grandi nan konfyans nou gen nan Kris la.

Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.

Koulye a, frè m' yo, mwen kite nou. Chache pou nou vin bon nèt sou tout pwen. Se pou nou yonn ankouraje lòt, mete nou dakò yonn ak lòt, viv ak kè poze. Bondye ki bay renmen ak kè poze a, va toujou avè nou.

Greet one another with an holy kiss.

Se pou nou yonn bo lòt tankou moun k'ap viv pou Bondye. Tout frè k'ap viv apa pou Bondye yo voye bonjou pou nou.

All the saints salute you.

Se pou benediksyon Seyè Jezikri ban nou an, ak renmen Bondye gen pou nou an, ansanm ak pouvwa Sentespri k'ap fè nou viv ansanm lan toujou la ak nou tout.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen. The second epistle to the Corinthians was written from Philippi, a city of Macedonia, by Titus and Lucas.
