1 Timote 6
1 Tout moun k'ap sèvi kou domestik fèt pou gen anpil respè pou mèt yo. Konsa, pesonn p'ap kapab pale non Bondye a ni verite n'ap anonse a mal.
Let as many as are slaves under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honor, that the name of God and the doctrine not be blasphemed.
2 Si yon domestik ap sèvi yon mèt ki kwè nan Bondye, li pa fèt pou l' manke l' respè sou pretèks se yon frè nan lafwa li ye. Okontrè, se lè sa a pou l' sèvi l' pi byen, paske moun l'ap rann sèvis la se yon moun ki kwè, se yon moun li renmen. Men sa ou gen pou moutre moun yo. Men sa pou ou preche yo.
Those who have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brothers, but rather let them serve them, because those who partake of the benefit are believing and beloved. Teach and exhort these things.
3 Si yon moun ap moutre yon lòt doktrin ki pa dakò ak pawòl verite ki soti nan Jezikri a, ni avèk sa relijyon nou te montre nou an,
If anyone teaches a different doctrine, and does not consent to sound words, the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness,
4 se yon moun ki gen lògèy, ki pa konn anyen. Se tankou yon maladi li genyen pou l'ap diskite tout tan, pou l'ap fè kont pou nenpòt ti mo. Se sa ki lakòz moun ap fè jalouzi, y'ap fè kont, y'ap pale moun mal, yo sispèk moun pou anyen.
he is conceited, knowing nothing, but obsessed with arguments, disputes, and word battles, from which come envy, strife, reviling, evil suspicions,
5 Sa lakòz anpil moun ki gen lespri yo vire lanvè epi ki pa konnen verite a ap fè yon bann diskisyon ki pa janm fini. Pou yo, sèvis Bondye a tounen yon mwayen pou fè lajan.
constant friction of people of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain.
6 Nan yon sans se vre. Sèvis Bondye a se yon gwo richès pou yon moun si l' kontan ak sa li genyen an.
But godliness with contentment is great gain.
7 Nou pa t' pote anyen lè nou te vin sou latè. Pa gen anyen nou ka pote ale non plis lè n'a kite li.
For we brought nothing into the world, so neither can we carry anything out.
8 Se sak fè, si nou gen dekwa manje, si nou gen rad pou mete sou nou, sa dwe kont nou.
But having food and clothing, we will be content with that.
9 Men, moun ki vle vin rich, yo tonbe nan tantasyon. Yo kite yon bann move lanvi san sans pran yo nan pèlen. Se lanvi sa yo k'ap fè moun pèdi tou sa yo genyen, k'ap fini nèt ak yo.
But those who are determined to be rich fall into a temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful lusts, such as plunge people into ruin and destruction.
10 Paske, renmen lajan fè moun fè tout kalite bagay ki mal. Gen moun ki sitèlman anvi gen lajan, yo pèdi chemen lafwa a nèt: se pa de ti soufrans ki tonbe sou yo.
For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some have been led astray from the faith in their greed, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
11 Men ou menm ki moun Bondye, evite tout bagay sa yo. Chache mennen yon lavi ki dwat pou ou ka sèvi Bondye nan tou sa w'ap fè, avèk konfyans, avèk renmen, avèk pasyans ak dousè.
But you, man of God, flee these things, and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, and gentleness.
12 Mennen batay pou lafwa a byen. Kenbe lavi ki p'ap janm fini an fèm. Paske, se Bondye menm ki te rele ou pou ou te konnen lavi sa a, lè ou te byen pale devan yon bann temwen, pou fè konnen jan ou gen lafwa. (aiōnios g166)
Fight the good fight of faith. Lay hold of the everlasting life to which you were called, and you confessed the good confession in the sight of many witnesses. (aiōnios g166)
13 Devan Bondye ki bay tout bagay lavi, devan Jezikri ki te fè yon bèl deklarasyon devan Pons Pilat pou fè wè jan li gen lafwa, men sa m'ap mande ou:
I command you before God, who gives life to all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate testified the good confession,
14 Swiv kòmandman mwen ba ou a, pa chanje anyen ladan l' pou yo pa jwenn anyen pou repwoche ou lè Jezikri, Seyè nou an, va parèt.
that you keep the commandment without spot, blameless, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ;
15 Lè lè a va rive, Bondye va fè nou wè l'. Se li menm ki sèl otorite, se pou li sèl nou dwe fè lwanj. Li wa tout wa, li chèf tout chèf.
which in its own times he will show, who is the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
16 Se sèl moun ki p'ap janm mouri, li rete nan yon limyè kote pesonn pa ka pwoche. Pesonn pa janm wè l', pesonn pa ka wè li. Se pou li tout onè ak tout pouvwa pou tout tan. Amèn. (aiōnios g166)
who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light; whom no human has seen, nor can see: to whom be honor and eternal power. Amen. (aiōnios g166)
17 Mande moun ki gen anpil byen sou latè a pou yo pa kite lògèy vire tèt yo. Piga yo mete espwa yo nan richès sa yo ki pa sèten. Se pou yo mete espwa yo nan Bondye ki ban nou tout bagay an kantite pou nou ka gen jwisans yo. (aiōn g165)
Charge those who are rich in this present world that they not be haughty, nor have their hope set on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy; (aiōn g165)
18 Mande yo pou yo fè anpil byen, pou yo ka rich devan Bondye. Piga yo chich. Se pou yo toujou pare pou separe sa yo genyen an ak lòt.
that they do good, that they be rich in good works, that they be ready to distribute, willing to communicate;
19 Konsa, y'a anpile yon bon trezò byen solid pou pita, y'a resevwa lavi tout bon an.
laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold of that which is truly life.
20 Timote monchè, veye byen sou sa yo te renmèt ou a. Pa pèdi tan ou nan diskou san sans ki pa dakò ak verite a, ni nan diskisyon pou bagay anpil moun pran pou konesans.
Timothy, guard that which is committed to you, turning away from the empty chatter and oppositions of the knowledge which is falsely so called;
21 Gen moun ki konprann yo gen konesans sa a. Ale wè atò! Se kite yo kite chemen lafwa a. Benediksyon Bondye pou ou.
which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with you.
