2 Timothy 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, through the will of God, according to a promise of life that [is] in Christ Jesus,
Mwen menm, Pòl, se Bondye ki te vle chwazi m' pou sèvi apòt Jezikri, pou fè konnen lavi li te pwomèt nou an, lavi li ban nou nan Jezikri a.
2 to Timotheus, beloved child: Grace, kindness, peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord!
M'ap ekri ou, Timote, pitit mwen renmen anpil lan. Mwen mande Bondye Papa a ansanm ak Jezikri, Seyè nou an, pou yo gen pitye pou ou, pou yo ba ou benediksyon ak kè poze.
3 I am thankful to God, whom I serve from progenitors in a pure conscience, that I unceasingly have remembrance concerning you in my supplications night and day,
M'ap di Bondye mèsi, Bondye zansèt mwen yo te sèvi a. Se li menm tou m'ap sèvi ak yon konsyans pwòp. Se tout tan m'ap di l' mèsi lajounen kou lannwit, chak fwa lide m' frape sou ou lè m'ap lapriyè.
4 desiring to see you greatly, being mindful of your tears, that I may be filled with joy,
Mwen chonje jan ou te nan lapenn. Se pa ti anvi m' anvi wè ou pou kè m' ka kontan nèt.
5 taking remembrance of the unhypocritical faith that is in you, that first dwelt in your grandmother Lois, and your mother Eunice, and I am persuaded that also in you.
Mwen pa janm bliye jan ou gen konfyans nan Bondye ak tout kè ou. Lòyis, grann ou, ak Enis, manman ou, te gen konfyans konsa nan li tou. Wi, mwen sèten ou gen menm konfyans sa a tou.
6 For which cause I remind you to stir up the gift of God that is in you through the putting on of my hands,
Se poutèt sa, m'ap mande ou pou kenbe kado Bondye te ba ou lè m' te mete men sou tèt ou a.
7 for God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind;
Paske, Lespri Bondye ban nou an pa fè nou wont moun. Okontrè, Lespri Bondye a ban nou fòs, renmen ak pouvwa pou kontwole tèt nou.
8 therefore you may not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner, but you suffer evil along with the good news according to the power of God,
Ou pa bezwen wont kanpe pale pou Seyè nou an. Ou pa bezwen wont pou mwen non plis ki nan prizon pou tèt li. Okontrè, avèk fòs kouraj Bondye ap ba ou a, se pou ou asepte soufri avè m' pou bon nouvèl la.
9 who saved us, and called with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace, that was given to us in Christ Jesus, before the times of the ages, (aiōnios g166)
Se Bondye ki delivre nou, se li menm ki rele nou pou n' ka viv pou li. Li pa t' fè sa pou nou poutèt byen nou te fè. Non, sa soti nan plan travay li menm. Se yon favè li fè nou nan Jezikri, depi lontan anvan li te kreye tout bagay. (aiōnios g166)
10 and was made visible now through the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who indeed abolished death, and enlightened life and immortality through the good news,
Koulye a, li fè nou konnen favè sa a avèk Jezikri, Sovè nou, ki te vini an. Paske, Jezikri kraze pouvwa lanmò te genyen an. Avèk bon nouvèl la, li fè lavi ki p'ap fini nan lanmò a parèt aklè.
11 to which I was placed a preacher and an apostle, and a teacher of nations,
Bondye chwazi m' pou m' anonse bon nouvèl sa a, li voye m' kòm apòt pou m' moutre li bay tout moun ki pa jwif.
12 for which cause these things I also suffer, but I am not ashamed, for I have known in whom I have believed, and have been persuaded that He is able to guard that which I have committed to Him—to that day.
Se poutèt li tou m'ap sibi tout soufrans sa yo. Men, mwen pa wont paske mwen konnen nan ki moun mwen mete konfyans mwen. Mwen sèten li gen pouvwa pou l' konsève sa l' te ban mwen an jouk gran jou a va vini.
13 Hold the pattern of sound words, which you heard from me, in faith and love that [is] in Christ Jesus;
Pran egzanp sou pawòl verite mwen te ba ou yo. Kenbe fèm nan konfyans ak nan renmen nou jwenn nan Jezikri.
14 guard the good thing committed through the Holy Spirit that is dwelling in us;
Ak lasistans Sentespri ki nan kè ou la, kenbe tout bon pawòl yo te moutre ou yo tankou yon depo ki sou kont ou.
15 you have known this, that they turned from me—all those in Asia, of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes;
Ou te pran nouvèl la, pa vre? Tout moun nan pwovens Lazi yo lage m' pou kont mwen, ata Fijèl ak Emojèn.
16 may the LORD give kindness to the house of Onesiphorus, because he refreshed me many times, and was not ashamed of my chain,
Mwen mande Seyè a pou li gen pitye pou moun lakay Onezifò yo. Paske, anpil fwa Onezifò vin konsole mwen. Li pa t' wont mwen dèske mwen te nan prizon.
17 but being in Rome, he sought me very diligently and found [me];
Okontrè, lè li rive lavil Wòm, li touye tèt li chache m' jouk li jwenn mwen.
18 may the LORD give to him to find kindness from the LORD in that day; and you very well know how much he ministered in Ephesus.
Se pou Seyè Jezi fè Bondye gen pitye pou li lè gran jou a va rive. Ou chonje tout sèvis li te rann mwen lavil Efèz?
