2 Timote 1
1 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.
Paul an apostle of Christ Jesus through [the] will of God according to [the] promise of life in Christ Jesus
2 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.
To Timothy [my] beloved child: Grace, mercy, [and] peace from God [the] Father and Christ Jesus the Lord of us.
3 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.
Thankful I am to God, whom I serve from [my] forefathers with a pure conscience, as unceasingly I have the of you remembrance in the prayers of mine night and day
4 Mwen chonje jan ou te nan lapenn. Se pa ti anvi m' anvi wè ou pou kè m' ka kontan nèt.
longing you to see, having yourself recalled your tears, so that with joy I may be filled
5 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.
remembrance (having taken *N(k)O*) of the within you sincere faith, which dwelt first in the grandmother of you Lois and in the mother of you Eunice, I have been persuaded now that also [it is] in you.
6 Se poutèt sa, m'ap mande ou pou kenbe kado Bondye te ba ou lè m' te mete men sou tèt ou a.
For this reason I remind you to kindle anew the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of the hands of mine;
7 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.
Not for has given us God a spirit of cowardice but of power and of love and of self-control.
8 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.
Not therefore you may be ashamed of the testimony of the Lord of us nor of me myself the prisoner of Him, but do suffer together for the gospel according to [the] power of God
9 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)
the [One who] having saved us and having called [us] with a calling holy, not according to the works of us but according to [His] own purpose and grace which having been given us in Christ Jesus before time eternal, (aiōnios g166)
10 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.
having been made manifest also now through the appearing of the Savior of us Christ Jesus, having abolished indeed death, having brought to light however life and immortality through the gospel,
11 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.
to which was appointed I myself a herald and an apostle and a teacher (of gentiles; *KO*)
12 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.
For this reason also these things I suffer, But not I am ashamed; I know for in whom I have believed and I have been persuaded that able He is the entrusted deposit of mine to guard for that [very] day.
13 Pran egzanp sou pawòl verite mwen te ba ou yo. Kenbe fèm nan konfyans ak nan renmen nou jwenn nan Jezikri.
[The] pattern do retain of sound words which from me you did hear in [the] faith and love that [are] in Christ Jesus;
14 Ak lasistans Sentespri ki nan kè ou la, kenbe tout bon pawòl yo te moutre ou yo tankou yon depo ki sou kont ou.
The good (entrusted deposit *N(k)O*) do keep through [the] Spirit Holy who is dwelling in us.
15 Ou te pran nouvèl la, pa vre? Tout moun nan pwovens Lazi yo lage m' pou kont mwen, ata Fijèl ak Emojèn.
You know this, that turned away from me all those in Asia, among whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.
16 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.
would grant mercy the Lord to the of Onesiphorus household; because often me he refreshed and the chain of mine not (he was ashamed of, *N(k)O*)
17 Okontrè, lè li rive lavil Wòm, li touye tèt li chache m' jouk li jwenn mwen.
But having arrived in Rome (earnestly *N(k)O*) he sought out me and found [me];
18 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?
would grant unto him the Lord to find mercy from [the] Lord in that [very] day! And how much in Ephesus he served very well you yourself know.
