II Corinthians 4

Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;

Konsa, se Bondye menm, nan kè sansib li gen pou mwen an, ki te renmèt mwen travay sa a pou m' fè. Se poutèt sa, mwen pa janm pèdi kouraj.

But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.

Mwen voye tout bagay lèd lèzòm ap fè an kachèt yo jete. Mwen pa fè okenn riz. Mwen pa chanje anyen nan pawòl Bondye a. Okontrè, mwen fè tout moun konnen verite a jan l' ye a. Se konsa bagay sa yo rekòmande mwen devan Bondye bay tout moun ki gen konsyans.

But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:

Si malgre sa, bon nouvèl m'ap anonse a pa klè toujou, li pa klè pou moun k'ap peri yo.

In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

Yo pa kwè paske sa yo pran pou Bondye nan lemonn lan bouche lespri yo. Li enpoze yo wè limyè bon nouvèl la. Se bon nouvèl sa a ki fè nou konnen pouvwa Kris la, li menm ki pòtre Bondye.

For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.

Konprann sa byen, se pa tèt pa m' m'ap fè nou konnen: men se Jezikri, Seyè a, m'ap fè nou konnen. Mwen menm mwen di nou se sèvi m'ap sèvi nou poutèt Jezi.

For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

Bondye ki te di: Mwen vle pou limyè a klere nan mitan fènwa a, se li menm tou ki fè limyè li a klere nan kè nou pou li fè nou konnen pouvwa li ki yon limyè ki klere byen bèl nan figi Kris la.

But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.

Men, nou tout k'ap pote richès Bondye sa a nan kè nou, nou tankou veso ki fèt an tè. Tou sa se pou tout moun ka wè kokenn chenn pouvwa sa a pa soti nan nou, men se nan Bondye li soti.

We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;

Mwen jwenn tout kalite fikilte; men, mwen pa janm kwense nèt. Mwen konn rive nan sitiyasyon mwen pa konn ni sa pou m' fè, ni sa pou m' di. Men, mwen pa janm pèdi espwa.

Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;

Yo pèsekite m', men Bondye pa janm lage mwen. Mwen pran gwo so, men mwen pa rete atè a.

Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.

Se konsa, kote m' pase mwen pote soufrans lanmò Jezi a nan kò mwen, pou tout moun ka wè pouvwa lavi Jezi a ap travay nan kò m' tou.

For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.

Nan lavi m', se tout tan m'ap pase toupre lanmò poutèt Jezi, pou pouvwa lavi Jezi a ka parèt aklè nan kò mwen ki la pou mouri.

So then death worketh in us, but life in you.

Konsa, lanmò ap travay nan mwen, men se lavi k'ap travay nan nou menm moun Korent.

We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;

Men sa ki ekri nan Liv la: Mwen te gen konfyans, se poutèt sa mwen te pale. Mwen menm tou, mwen gen menm konfyans sa a, se poutèt sa m'ap pale.

Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.

Mwen konnen Bondye ki te fè Seyè Jezi leve soti vivan nan lanmò a, li gen pou l' fè m' tounen vivan ankò ansanm ak Jezi, li gen pou l' fè m' parèt ansanm ak nou devan li.

For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.

Se poutèt nou menm, moun Korent, kifè tout bagay sa yo rive, paske fòk gen plis moun toujou k'ap resevwa favè Bondye a pou sa gen plis moun tou k'ap lapriyè pou di Bondye mèsi pou pouvwa li.

For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.

Se sak fè mwen pa janm dekouraje. Menm si kò m' ap bese chak jou, lespri m' ap vin pi fèm chak jou tou.

For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;

Sa m'ap sibi koulye a, se yon ti soufrans ki la pou pase. Men, soufrans sa a ap pare pou mwen yon bèl pouvwa k'ap la pou tout tan, pouvwa ki depase ti soufrans sa a anpil.

While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

Paske, mwen p'ap konsidere bagay moun wè, men bagay moun pa wè. Sa moun wè, se bagay ki pa la pou lontan, men sa moun pa wè, se bagay ki la pou tout tan.
