2 Timothy 2
1 You therefore, my child, be strengthened in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
Konsa, ou menm, fis mwen an se pou ou dyanm nan gras ki nan Kris Jésus a.
2 The things which you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit the same things to faithful men who will be able to teach others 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 You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
Soufri difikilte avèk mwen, tankou yon bon sòlda a Kris Jésus.
4 No soldier on duty entangles himself in the affairs of life, that he may please him who enrolled him as a soldier.
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 Also, if anyone competes in athletics, he isn’t crowned unless he has competed by the rules.
Osi, si yon moun nan konpetisyon nan spò, li p ap genyen pri a amwenske li fè konpetisyon an selon règ yo.
6 The farmer who labors must be the first to get a share of the crops.
Kiltivatè ki travay di a ta dwe premyè pou resevwa pòsyon pa l nan rekòlt la.
7 Consider what I say, and may the Lord give you understanding in all things.
Konsidere sa ke m di a, paske Senyè a va ba ou bon konprann nan tout bagay.
8 Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, of the offspring of David, according to my Good News,
Sonje Jésus Kri leve soti nan lanmò, desandan a David la, selon levanjil mwen an.
9 in which I suffer hardship to the point of chains as a criminal. But God’s word isn’t chained.
Pou li menm, mwen soufri difikilte, menm anprizone kòm yon kriminèl; men pawòl Bondye a pa anprizone.
10 Therefore I endure all things for the chosen ones’ sake, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. (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 This saying is trustworthy: “For if we died with him, we will also live with him.
“Sa se yon vrè pawòl: Paske si nou te mouri avèk Li, nou va osi viv avèk Li.
12 If we endure, we will also reign with him. If we deny him, he also will deny us.
Si nou andire, nou va osi renye avèk Li. Si nou rejte Li, Li tou va rejte nou.
13 If we are faithless, he remains faithful; for he can’t deny himself.”
Si nou pa fidèl Li rete fidèl; paske Li pa kapab nye pwòp tèt Li.”
14 Remind them of these things, charging them in the sight of the Lord that they don’t argue about words to no profit, to the subverting of those who hear.
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 Give diligence to present yourself approved by God, a workman who doesn’t need to be ashamed, properly handling the Word of Truth.
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 But shun empty chatter, for it will go further in ungodliness,
Men evite pale pawòl anven a mond sa a, paske l ap fè nou soti lwen lafwa Bondye a.
17 and those words will consume like gangrene, of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus:
Epi pawòl sa yo va gaye tankou pwazon nan san. Pami yo, Hyménée ak Philète:
18 men who have erred concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection is already past, and overthrowing the faith of some.
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 However, God’s firm foundation stands, having this seal: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Let every one who names the name of the Lord depart from unrighteousness.”
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 Now in a large house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of clay. Some are for honor and some for dishonor.
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 anyone therefore purges himself from these, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified, and suitable for the master’s use, prepared for every good work.
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 from youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace with those who call on the Lord out of a 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 But refuse foolish and ignorant questionings, knowing that they generate strife.
Men refize diskisyon ki sòt e san bon rezon yo, paske ou konnen ke y ap prodwi konfli.
24 The Lord’s servant must not quarrel, but be gentle toward all, able to teach, patient,
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 in gentleness correcting those who oppose him. Perhaps God may give them repentance leading to a full knowledge of the truth,
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 they may recover themselves out of the devil’s snare, having been taken captive by him to do 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.
