1 Corinthians 3
1 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, [even] as unto babes in Christ.
Men, frè m' yo, pou di vre, mwen pa t' kapab pale ak nou tankou ak moun ki gen Lespri Bondye a nan kè yo. Mwen te blije pale ak nou tankou ak moun k'ap viv dapre lide ki nan lèmonn, tankou ak moun ki timoun toujou nan konfyans yo nan Kris la.
2 I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able [to bear it], neither yet now are ye able.
Mwen te blije moutre nou ti bagay tou senp, tankou lè yo bay timoun piti lèt, yo pa ba yo gwo manje. Paske nou pa t' ankò pare pou sa. Ata koulye a, nou poko pare.
3 For ye are yet carnal: for whereas [there is] among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?
Paske n'ap viv tankou moun k'ap viv dapre lide ki nan lemonn toujou. Depi ou tande gen jalouzi nan mitan nou, depi nou gen kont yonn ak lòt, nou tou wè se moun lemonn nou ye, se tankou moun k'ap viv dapre lide ki nan lemonn lan n'ap viv.
4 For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I [am] of Apollos; are ye not carnal?
Lè yonn rete li di: Mwen menm, mwen se moun Pòl; yon lòt: Mwen se moun Apolòs, èske se pa tankou moun lemonn n'ap pale?
5 Who then is Paul, and who [is] Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?
Lè ou gade byen, ki moun ki Apolòs la? Ki moun ki Pòl la? Nou tou de se sèvitè Bondye nou ye. N'ap travay pou nou menm, moun Korent yo, nou te ka rive kwè. Chak moun te fè travay Mèt la te ba l' fè.
6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
Mwen plante, Apolòs wouze, men se Bondye ki fè plant lan pouse.
7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
Konsa, moun ki plante a pa anyen, moun ki wouze a pa anyen tou. Se Bondye ki tout bagay la, se li menm ki fè plant lan pouse.
8 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.
Moun ki plante a ak moun ki wouze a, se menm bagay yo ye. Bondye va ba yo sa yo merite dapre travay yo fè.
9 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, [ye are] God’s building.
Apolòs ak mwen, se travay n'ap travay ansanm pou Bondye. Nou menm, moun Korent yo, nou se tankou yon jaden Bondye bay travay pou li. Ou ankò, nou se yon kay Bondye ap bati.
10 According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.
Dapre favè Bondye te fè m' lan, mwen travay tankou yon bon enjenyè, mwen poze fondasyon an. Yon lòt ap bati sou li. Men, se pou chak moun veye kò yo pou yo konnen ki jan y'ap bati.
11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
Paske fondasyon an deja la: se Jezikri. Pesonn pa ka poze yon lòt.
12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
Gen moun k'ap sevi ak lò, osinon ak lajan, osinon ak bèl wòch ki koute chè pou bati sou fondasyon an. Gen lòt menm k'ap sèvi ak bwa, ak zèb chèch, ak pay.
13 Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is.
Men, se jou jijman an n'a wè ki kalite travay chak moun te bay. Se jou sa a ki va devwale kalite travay chak moun te fè. Paske jou sa a, se nan mitan dife l'ap parèt. Dife a pral sonde travay chak moun. L'ap fè wè kalite travay yo.
14 If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
Si dife a pa boule travay yon moun bati sou fondasyon an, moun sa a ap resevwa rekonpans li.
15 If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
Men tou, si dife a boule travay yon moun, moun sa a ap pèdi travay li. Men li menm, l'ap sove, tankou yon moun ki chape nan yon kay k'ap boule.
16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and [that] the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
Eske nou pa konnen se tanp Bondye a nou ye, se Lespri Bondye a ki rete nan kè nou?
17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which [temple] ye are.
Enben, si yon moun kraze tanp Bondye a, Bondye ap kraze l' tou. Paske tanp Bondye a se yon bagay ki apa pou li. Se nou menm ki tanp Bondye a.
18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. (aiōn g165)
Piga pesonn twonpe tèt yo. Si yon moun mete nan lide l' li gen bon konprann tankou moun k'ap viv dapre lide ki nan lemonn yo, pito li vin fou pou l' ka gen bon konprann tout bon. (aiōn g165)
19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
Paske, bon konprann moun k'ap viv dapre lide ki nan lemonn yo se bagay moun fou li ye devan Bondye. Men sa n' jwenn ekri nan Liv la: Bondye pran moun lespri yo nan pwòp pèlen yo te tann lan.
20 And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.
Nou jwenn sa ekri tou: Bondye konnen lide moun save yo mete nan tèt yo, li konnen tou sa pa vo anyen.
21 Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours;
Konsa, pesonn pa dwe chache lwanj pou tèt pa yo nan sa moun ka fè. Pou nou menm, tout bagay se pou nou yo ye.
22 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours;
Ni Pòl, ni Apolòs, ni Pyè, ni tou sa ki sou latè, se pou nou yo ye. Lavi, lanmò, bagay ki la koulye a, bagay ki gen pou vini, tou sa se pou nou yo ye tou.
23 And ye are Christ’s; and Christ [is] God’s.
Men nou menm, se pou Kris la nou ye. Kris la menm, se pou Bondye.
