1 Timothy 4
1 But the Spirit says expressly that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons,
Men Lespri a di byen klè ke nan dènye tan yo, kèk moun va tonbe kite lafwa pou prete atansyon a Lespri twonpè ak doktrin a dyab yo,
2 speaking lies in hypocrisy, their own conscience having been seared with a hot iron,
epi pa mwayen ipokrizi a mantè yo, vin make nan pwòp konsyans pa yo, kòmsi li brile avèk fè etanp ki cho;
3 forbidding to marry, to abstain from foods, which God created for partaking with thankfulness by those who believe and know the truth.
moun ki entèdi maryaj, e k ap rekòmande evite manje, ke Bondye te kreye pou pataje avèk remèsiman pa sila ki kwè e ki konnen verite yo.
4 Because every creation of God is good, and nothing rejected that is received with thankfulness,
Paske tout bagay kreye pa Bondye, bon, e anyen pa dwe rejte, si li resevwa avèk remèsiman,
5 for it is sanctified through the word of God and prayer.
paske li sanktifye pa mwayen pawòl Bondye a ak lapriyè.
6 Laying these things down to the brothers, thou will be a good helper of Jesus Christ, reared up in the words of the faith, and of the good doctrine that thou have followed.
Nan montre bagay sa yo a frè yo, nou va yon bon sèvitè a Kris Jésus, e nou va nouri tout tan nan pawòl lafwa ak bon doktrin ke nou deja ap swiv yo.
7 But reject the profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself to piety.
Men pa okipe vye listwa mond yo ki fèt pou vye fanm yo. Sou lòt kote, disipline tèt ou pou vi sentete a.
8 For bodily exercise is profitable for a little, but piety is profitable for all things, having promise of the present life, and of that which is coming.
Paske disiplin pou kò a sèlman, pa gen gran avantaj men vi sentete a gen avantaj nan tout jan, paske li kenbe pwomès pou lavi koulye a, e osi pou lavi k ap vini an.
9 Faithful is the saying, and worthy of all acceptance.
Sa se yon vrè Pawòl ki merite aksepte pa tout moun.
10 For we both labor and are reproached for this, because we have hoped in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of the faithful.
Paske se pou sa nou travay ak fè efò a. Nou gen tan fikse esperans nou sou Bondye vivan an, ki se Sovè a tout moun, sitou a kwayan yo.
11 These things command and teach.
Preskri e enstwi bagay sa yo.
12 Let no man disparage thy youth, but become an example of the faithful, in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity.
Pa kite pèsòn gade ou ba akoz jenès ou, men de preferans nan pawòl, kondwit lanmou, lafwa, ak yon vi san tach, prezante tèt ou kòm yon egzanp a sila ki kwè yo.
13 Until I come, give attention to reading, to exhortation, to teaching.
Jiskaske m vini, bay enpòtans a li lekriti sen yo an piblik, a egzòtasyon ak enstriksyon.
14 Do not neglect the gift in thee, which was given thee by prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the eldership.
Pa neglije don Lespri Bondye ki nan ou a, ki te bay a ou menm pa yon pawòl pwofetik avèk men Ansyen ki te poze sou ou yo.
15 Think on these things-exist within these things-so that thy progress may be visible among all.
Konsakre ou seryezman a bagay sa yo; antre ladan yo, pou pwogrè ou kapab klè a tout moun.
16 Hold firm to thyself and to the doctrine. Continue in them, for in doing this thou will save both thyself and those who hear thee.
Prete anpil atansyon a tèt ou e ak enstriksyon ou an. Pèsevere nan bagay sa yo, paske lè ou fè sa, ou va asire Sali tèt ou ak sila ki tande ou yo.
