Titus 3
1 Pvt them in remembrance that they bee subiect to the Principalities and powers, and that they bee obedient, and ready to euery good woorke,
Fè yo chonje se pou yo soumèt devan tout chèf ak tout otorite, pou yo obeyi yo, pou yo toujou pare pou fè tou sa ki byen.
2 That they speake euill of no man, that they be no fighters, but soft, shewing all meekenesse vnto all men.
Yo pa dwe nan pale moun mal, yo pa dwe nan fè kont ak pesonn. Se pou yo gen pasyans ak tout moun, se pou yo aji ak dousè ak tout moun.
3 For wee our selues also were in times past vnwise, disobedient, deceiued, seruing the lustes and diuers pleasures, liuing in maliciousnes and enuie, hatefull, and hating one another:
Paske, nou menm tou, nan tan lontan nou te tankou moun fou, nou pa t' obeyisan devan Bondye, nou te tankou moun ki pèdi chemen yo. Nou te esklav tout kalite move dezi ak move plezi. Nou t'ap viv ak mechanste, ak jalouzi nan kè nou. Moun te rayi nou, epi nou menm, nou te rayi yo tou.
4 But when that bountifulnesse and that loue of God our Sauiour toward man appeared,
Men, lè Bondye fè nou wè jan li gen bon kè, jan li renmen tout moun,
5 Not by the woorkes of righteousnesse, which we had done, but according to his mercie he saued vs, by the washing of the newe birth, and the renewing of the holy Ghost,
li te delivre nou. Li pa t' delivre nou paske nou te fè kèk bagay ki bon, men paske li menm li te gen pitye pou nou. Li delivre nou lè li lave nou, li voye pouvwa Sentespri li nan nou pou chanje nou nèt, pou n' te ka viv yon lòt jan.
6 Which he shed on vs aboundantly, through Iesus Christ our Sauiour,
Bondye voye Sentespri li sou nou an kantite, gremesi Jezi, Kris la, ki delivre nou.
7 That we, being iustified by his grace, should be made heires according to the hope of eternall life. (aiōnios g166)
Avèk favè sa a Bondye fè nou an, li fè nou gras. Koulye a nou ka resevwa sa n'ap tann lan: lavi ki p'ap janm fini an. (aiōnios g166)
8 This is a true saying, and these thinges I will thou shouldest affirme, that they which haue beleeued God, might be carefull to shewe foorth good woorkes. These things are good and profitable vnto men.
Sa se pawòl sèten. Mwen ta renmen ou peze sou bagay sa yo anpil pou tout moun ki mete konfyans yo nan Bondye ka okipe tout tan yo ap fè sa ki byen. Se bagay konsa ki bon, ki kapab sèvi tout moun.
9 But stay foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and brawlings about the Lawe: for they are vnprofitable and vaine.
Pa antre nan okenn vye diskisyon san sans, ni nan chache konnen non gran granparan moun, ni nan chache kont, ni nan goumen pou lalwa Moyiz la. Bagay sa yo pa sèvi anyen, yo pa vo anyen.
10 Reiect him that is an heretike, after once or twise admonition,
Si yon moun vle mete divizyon, pale avè l' yon premye fwa, yon dezyèm fwa. Si li pa koute ou, pa okipe li.
11 Knowing that hee that is such, is peruerted, and sinneth, being damned of his owne selfe.
Paske ou konnen byen yon moun konsa fin pèdi. Sè pwòp peche li yo k'ap kondannen li.
12 When I shall send Artemas vnto thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to come to mee vnto Nicopolis: for I haue determined there to winter.
Lè m'a voye Atemas osinon Tichik ba ou, fè posib ou pou ou vin jwenn mwen lavil Nikopolis, paske se la mwen fè lide pase sezon fredi a.
13 Bring Zenas the expounder of the Lawe, and Apollos on their iourney diligently, that they lacke nothing.
Fè sa ou kapab pou mèt Zenas, avoka a, ansanm ak Apolòs, pou yo pa manke anyen pou vwayaj yo a.
14 And let ours also learne to shewe foorth good woorkes for necessary vses, that they be not vnfruitfull.
Se pou moun nou yo aprann fè sa ki byen tou, pou yo bay lè gen ka nesesite. Yo pa fèt pou y'ap viv konsa san yo pa bay anyen.
15 All that are with mee, salute thee. Greete them that loue vs in the faith. Grace bee with you all, Amen. ‘To Titus, elect the first bishoppe of the Church of the Cretians, written from Nicopolis in Macedonia.’
Tout moun ki avè m' yo voye bonjou pou ou. Di tout zanmi nou nan lafwa yo bonjou. Mwen mande pou Bondye ban nou tout favè li.
