1 Timothy 4
1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing 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, having their conscience 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, [and commanding] to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving by them 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 For every creature of God [is] good, and nothing to be refused, if received with thanksgiving:
Paske tout bagay kreye pa Bondye, bon, e anyen pa dwe rejte, si li resevwa avèk remèsiman,
5 For it is sanctified by the word of God, and prayer.
paske li sanktifye pa mwayen pawòl Bondye a ak lapriyè.
6 If thou shalt put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou wilt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished by the words of faith and of good doctrine, to which thou hast attained.
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 refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself [rather] to godliness.
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 profiteth little: but godliness is profitable to all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.
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 This [is] a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation.
Sa se yon vrè Pawòl ki merite aksepte pa tout moun.
10 For therefore we both labor and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God who is the Savior of all men, especially of those that believe.
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 despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in deportment, in charity, 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 Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.
Jiskaske m vini, bay enpòtans a li lekriti sen yo an piblik, a egzòtasyon ak enstriksyon.
14 Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.
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 Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.
Konsakre ou seryezman a bagay sa yo; antre ladan yo, pou pwogrè ou kapab klè a tout moun.
16 Take heed to thyself and to thy doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou wilt both save thyself, and them that 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.
