2 Timote 3
1 Mete sa byen nan tèt ou: nan dènye jou yo, tan an pral difisil anpil.
But this know, that in the last days there will be difficult times;
2 Moun pral fè rayisab, y'ap renmen lajan, y'ap fè grandizè, lògèy ap vire tèt yo, y'ap pale Bondye mal, y'ap dezobeyi papa ak manman yo, y'ap engra, y'ap san okenn respè pou bagay Bondye.
for men will be selfish, covetous, arrogant, proud, blasphemers, undutiful to parents, ungrateful, unholy,
3 Kè yo ap di, y'ap san pitye, y'ap pale moun mal, y'ap fè gwo kòlè, y'ap brital. Yo p'ap vle wè sa ki byen menm.
without natural affection, perfidious, false accusers, intemperate, savage, enemies to the good, traitors,
4 Y'a mòde an trèt, y'a fè kòlè fasil, lògèy va gonfle lestonmak yo. Y'ap pito plezi pase sèvis Bondye.
headstrong, conceited, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God,
5 Y'ap fè tankou y'ap sèvi Bondye. Men, yo pa kwè nan pouvwa Bondye a tout bon vre. Pa mele ak moun konsa menm.
having a form of godliness, but strangers to the power of it: from such turn away.
6 Gen ladan yo k'ap antre lakay moun pou pran tèt medam ki fèb yo, ki gen konsyans yo chaje anba peche epi k'ap kite tout kalite move lanvi mennen lavi yo.
For of these are they who insinuate themselves into families, and captivate weak women, that are laden with sins,
7 Medam sa yo toujou ap chache konnen. Men, yo pa janm ka rive konnen verite a.
and led away by various lusts, always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
8 Menm jan ou te wè Janès ak Janbrès t'ap fè Moyiz opozisyon an, konsa tou moun sa yo ap fè verite a opozisyon. Se yon bann moun ki gen lespri yo deraye. Bondye voye yo jete paske yo pa gen konfyans tout bon nan li.
And as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also withstand the truth; being men of corrupt minds, and of no judgement in the faith.
9 Men, yo p'ap rive lwen, paske tout moun pral rekonèt jan yo pèdi tèt yo, menm jan sa te rive pou Janès ak Janbrès.
But they shall not proceed far: for their folly shall be evident to all, as theirs also was.
10 Men, ou menm, ou te swiv mwen pye pou pye nan tout bagay: nan verite mwen moutre moun yo, nan jan mwen mennen lavi mwen, nan lide m' mete nan tèt mwen, nan konfyans mwen gen nan Bondye, nan pasyans mwen, nan renmen mwen gen nan kè m', nan jan mwen kenbe fèm,
But thou art well acquainted with my doctrine, conduct, purpose, faith, long-suffering, charity, patience, persecutions,
11 nan pèsekisyon mwen ak nan soufrans mwen. Ou konnen tou sa ki te rive m' Antiòch, Ikoniòm ak List, ki kalite pèsekisyon mwen te sipòte. Men, Bondye te delivre m' anba yo tout.
sufferings, which befel me at Antioch, in Iconium, in Lystra; what persecutions I endured, and how the Lord delivered me out of them all.
12 Tout moun ki vle viv nan sèvis Bondye ansanm ak Jezikri gen pou soufri pèsekisyon.
And indeed all, that are desirous to live godly in Christ Jesus, shall suffer persecution.
13 Men, mechan k'ap fè bagay pou twonpe moun yo pral pi lwen toujou nan mechanste yo, yo toujou ap twonpe moun, y'ap kite moun twonpe pwòp tèt yo tou.
But wicked men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.
14 Kanta ou menm, se pou ou kenbe fèm sa yo te moutre ou la, sa ou te resevwa ak fèm konviksyon, paske ou konnen nan men ki moun ou te aprann yo.
But continue thou in the things which thou hast learnt, and been assured of, knowing from whom thou hast learned them;
15 Depi ou te tou piti ou konnen sa ki nan Liv Bondye a. Se liv sa a k'ap ba ou bon konprann, bon konprann ki fè moun rive delivre, gremesi konfyans yo gen nan Jezikri.
and that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation, through faith in Christ Jesus: for all scripture is by inspiration from God,
16 Tou sa ki ekri nan Liv la, se nan Lespri Bondye a yo soti. Y'ap sèvi pou moutre moun verite a, pou konbat moun ki nan lerè, pou korije moun k'ap fè fòt, pou moutre yo ki jan pou yo viv byen devan Bondye.
and is profitable for doctrine, for conviction, for correction, for instruction in righteousness;
17 Konsa, yon moun k'ap sèvi Bondye, li tou pare, li gen tou sa li bezwen pou l' fè tou sa ki byen.
that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly fitted for every good work.
