2 Timothy 2
1 Thou therefore, my sonne, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Iesus.
Konsa, ou menm, fis mwen an se pou ou dyanm nan gras ki nan Kris Jésus a.
2 And what things thou hast heard of me, by many witnesses, ye same deliuer to faithfull men, which shalbe able to teache other also.
Bagay ke ou te tande de mwen nan prezans a anpil temwen yo, konfye yo a moun ki fidèl, ki kapab osi enstwi lòt yo.
3 Thou therefore suffer affliction as a good souldier of Iesus Christ.
Soufri difikilte avèk mwen, tankou yon bon sòlda a Kris Jésus.
4 No man that warreth, entangleth himselfe with the affaires of this life, because he woulde please him that hath chosen him to be a souldier.
Nanpwen sòlda an sèvis ki mele tèt li nan zafè lavi kotidyèn, pou li kapab fè plezi a sila ki te enskri li kòm sòlda a.
5 And if any man also striue for a Masterie, he is not crowned, except he striue as he ought to doe.
Osi, si yon moun nan konpetisyon nan spò, li p ap genyen pri a amwenske li fè konpetisyon an selon règ yo.
6 The husbandman must labour before he receiue the fruites.
Kiltivatè ki travay di a ta dwe premyè pou resevwa pòsyon pa l nan rekòlt la.
7 Consider what I say: and the Lord giue thee vnderstanding in all things:
Konsidere sa ke m di a, paske Senyè a va ba ou bon konprann nan tout bagay.
8 Remember that Iesus Christ, made of the seede of Dauid, was raysed againe from the dead according to my Gospel,
Sonje Jésus Kri leve soti nan lanmò, desandan a David la, selon levanjil mwen an.
9 Wherein I suffer trouble as an euill doer, euen vnto bondes: but the worde of God is not bounde.
Pou li menm, mwen soufri difikilte, menm anprizone kòm yon kriminèl; men pawòl Bondye a pa anprizone.
10 Therefore I suffer all things, for the elects sake, that they might also obtaine the saluation which is in Christ Iesus, with eternall glorie. (aiōnios g166)
Pou rezon sa a, mwen andire tout bagay, pou koz a sila ki te chwazi yo, pou yo kapab osi vin jwenn sali ki nan Kris Jésus a e avèk li, laglwa etènèl. (aiōnios g166)
11 It is a true saying, For if we be dead together with him, we also shall liue together with him.
“Sa se yon vrè pawòl: Paske si nou te mouri avèk Li, nou va osi viv avèk Li.
12 If we suffer, we shall also reigne together with him: if we denie him, he also will denie vs.
Si nou andire, nou va osi renye avèk Li. Si nou rejte Li, Li tou va rejte nou.
13 If we beleeue not, yet abideth he faithfull: he cannot denie himselfe.
Si nou pa fidèl Li rete fidèl; paske Li pa kapab nye pwòp tèt Li.”
14 Of these things put them in remembrance, and protest before the Lord, that they striue not about wordes, which is to no profit, but to the peruerting of the hearers.
Fè yo sonje bagay sa yo, eanchaje yo solanèlman nan prezans a Bondye pou yo pa goumen sou pawòl yo, ki initil e ki mennen nan destriksyon sila k ap tande yo.
15 Studie to shewe thy selfe approued vnto God, a workeman that needeth not to be ashamed, diuiding the worde of trueth aright.
Se pou ou dilijan pou prezante tèt ou apwouve bay Bondye, kòm yon ouvriye ki pa bezwen wont, ki livre byen klè pawòl verite a.
16 Stay prophane, and vaine babblings: for they shall encrease vnto more vngodlinesse.
Men evite pale pawòl anven a mond sa a, paske l ap fè nou soti lwen lafwa Bondye a.
17 And their worde shall fret as a canker: of which sort is Hymeneus and Philetus,
Epi pawòl sa yo va gaye tankou pwazon nan san. Pami yo, Hyménée ak Philète:
18 Which as concerning ye trueth haue erred from the marke, saying that the resurrection is past alreadie, and do destroy the faith of certaine.
Moun ki te egare kite verite yo nan di ke rezirèksyon an gen tan fèt deja a, e konsa yo te boulvèse lafwa a kèk moun.
19 But the foundation of God remaineth sure, and hath this seale, The Lord knoweth who are his: and, Let euery one that calleth on the Name of Christ, depart from iniquitie.
Malgre fondasyon Bondye a kanpe byen fèm, e li gen so sila a sou li: “Senyè a konnen sila ki pou Li yo”, epi: “Ke tout moun ki nonmen non Senyè a rete lwen mechanste.”
20 Notwithstanding in a great house are not onely vessels of gold and of siluer, but also of wood and of earth, and some for honour, and some vnto dishonour.
Alò, nan yon gran mezon, pa gen sèlman veso an lò ak lajan, men osi veso an bwa ak kanari. Yon pati pou onore e yon pati pou dezonore.
21 If any man therefore purge him selfe from these, he shalbe a vessell vnto honour, sanctified, and meete for the Lord, and prepared vnto euery good worke.
Konsa, si yon nonm netwaye tèt li de bagay sa yo, li va yon veso lonè, sanktifye, itil pou Mèt la, prepare pou tout bon zèv.
22 Flee also from the lustes of youth, and follow after righteousnes, faith, loue, and peace, with them that call on the Lord with pure heart,
Alò, sove kite move dezi a jenès yo; men pouswiv ladwati, lafwa, lanmou ak lapè, avèk sila ki rele non Senyè yo avèk yon kè ki san tach.
23 And put away foolish and vnlearned questions, knowing that they ingender strife.
Men refize diskisyon ki sòt e san bon rezon yo, paske ou konnen ke y ap prodwi konfli.
24 But the seruant of ye Lord must not striue, but must be gentle toward all men, apt to teache, suffering the euill,
Yon sèvitè-atache nèt a Senyè a pa dwe renmen fè kont, men se pou li janti ak tout moun, avèk yon kapasite pou l enstwi e pasyan lè yo fè li lenjistis,
25 Instructing them with meekenesse that are contrary minded, prouing if God at any time will giue them repentance, that they may acknowledge the trueth,
avèk dousè, korije sila ki nan opozisyon yo, pou si petèt Bondye kapab bay yo repantans k ap mennen yo a konesans verite a,
26 And come to amendment out of that snare of the deuil, of whom they are taken prisoners, to doe his will.
pou yo kapab twouve bon sans pa yo, pou chape anba pèlen a Dyab la, ki kenbe yo kaptif pou fè volonte l.
