1 Peter 4
1 Therefore, since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind; for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,
Konsa, paske Kris te soufri nan lachè a, ranfòse tèt nou osi avèk menm bi a; paske moun ki deja soufri nan lachè yo, gen tan sispann fè peche,
2 that you no longer should live the rest of your time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God.
pou nou pa viv rès tan an konsa, nan lachè ak dezi a lòm, men viv pou volonte a Bondye.
3 For we have spent enough of our past time doing the desire of the Gentiles, and having walked in lewdness, lusts, drunken binges, orgies, carousings, and abominable idolatries.
Paske tan ki pase deja a, sifi pou nou te akonpli tout dezi a payen yo. Nou te konn pouswiv yon kous sansyèl, dezi chanèl, vin sou, banbòch, gwo fèt bwason, ak idolatri ki abominab.
4 They think it is strange that you do not run with them into the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you.
Nan tout sa, yo etone ke nou pa kouri avèk yo nan menm eksè ki fè yo dejenere konsa a, e yo pale mal sou nou.
5 They will give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
Men yo va rann kont a Sila ki prèt pou jije vivan ak mò yo a.
6 For to this end the Good News was preached even to the dead, that they might be judged indeed as men in the flesh, but live as to God in the spirit.
Paske pou rezon sa a, levanjil la preche menm a sila ki mouri yo, pouke, malgre, yo jije nan lachè kòm lòm, yo ta kapab viv nan lespri selon volonte a Bondye a.
7 But the end of all things is near. Therefore be of sound mind, self-controlled, and sober in prayer.
Lafen tout bagay pwòch. Konsa, se pou nou vin saj, ak yon jan de panse byen serye pou nou kab priye.
8 And above all things be earnest in your love among yourselves, for love covers a multitude of sins.
Anplis de tout bagay, rete fèm nan lanmou nou youn pou lòt, paske lanmou kouvri yon gran kantite peche.
9 Be hospitable to one another without grumbling.
Resevwa youn lòt lakay nou san plenyen.
10 As each has received a gift, employ it in serving one another, as good managers of the grace of God in its various forms.
Akoz chak moun gen tan resevwa yon don espesyal, anplwaye li nan sèvi youn lòt kòm bon jeran ak tout gras ke Bondye te bay la.
11 If anyone speaks, let it be as it were the very words of God. If anyone serves, let it be as of the strength which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion for the ages (aiōn g165) of the ages (aiōn g165). Amen.
Nenpòt moun ki pale, li dwe fè sa tankou sila k ap pale pawòl a Bondye. Nenpòt moun ki sèvi, li dwe fè li tankou sila k ap sèvi avèk tout fòs ke Bondye ba li, pouke nan tout bagay, Bondye kapab glorifye atravè Jésus Kri. A Li menm, apatyen laglwa ak pwisans, pou tout tan e pou tout tan. Amen. (aiōn g165)
12 Beloved, do not be astonished at the fiery trial which has come upon you to test you, as though a strange thing happened to you.
Byeneme yo, pa vin etone de eprèv cho kap brile nan mitan nou an, ki parèt sou nou kòm yon eprèv, kòmsi se kèk bagay etranj k ap rive nou.
13 But because you are partakers of Christ’s sufferings, rejoice, that at the revelation of his glory you also may rejoice with exceeding joy.
Men nan menm degre ke nou pataje soufrans Kris la, kontinye rejwi nou, anfen ke nan revelasyon laglwa Li, nou kapab rejwi nou avèk gwo lajwa.
14 If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. On their part he is blasphemed, but on your part he is glorified.
Si yo pale mal de nou pou non a Kris la nou beni, paske Lespri laglwa a, ak Lespri Bondye a rete sou nou. De pati de sa yo, non L blasfeme, men sou pati pa w Li resevwa glwa.
15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil doer, or a meddler in other men’s matters.
Fè si ke okenn nan nou pa soufri kòm asasen, vòlè, oswa yon malfektè, ni yon moun k ap simen latwoublay;
16 But if one of you suffers for being a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God in this matter.
Men, si yon moun soufri kòm yon Kretyen (yon moun k ap adore Kris), li pa dwe wont, men li dwe glorifye Bondye nan non sila a.
17 For the time has come for judgment to begin with the household of God. If it begins first with us, what will happen to those who do not obey the Good News of God?
Paske li lè pou jijman kòmanse avèk manm lakay Bondye yo. E si li kòmanse avèk nou an premye, kisa ki va rive a sila ki pa obeyi a levanjil a Bondye a?
18 “If it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will happen to the ungodly and the sinner?”
Epi si se avèk difikilte ke moun jis yo sove, kisa ki va rive nonm ki san Bondye a, ak pechè a?
19 Therefore let them also who suffer according to the will of God in doing good entrust their souls to him, as to a faithful Creator.
Konsa, sila yo osi ki soufri selon volonte Bondye a lè yo fè byen, lese yo remèt nanm yo a Li menm kòn yon Kreyatè Fidèl.
