2 Timote 4
1 Men sa m'ap mande ou, devan Bondye ak devan Jezikri ki gen pou vini tankou yon wa pou jije tout moun, ni sa ki vivan ni sa ki mouri:
I command you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at his appearing and his Kingdom:
2 Fè konnen pawòl Bondye a, mache bay li san pran souf, nan tout sikonstans, tan an te mèt bon li te mèt pa bon. Bay tout kalite prèv, rale zòrèy, bay konsèy, moutre moun yo verite a avèk pasyans nèt ale.
preach the word; be urgent in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort with all patience and teaching.
3 Yon lè, ou gen pou ou wè moun p'ap vle kite yo moutre yo verite a ankò, y'ap vle pou yo swiv lide pa yo. Lè sa a, y'a reyini yon bann direktè met bò kote yo ki va di yo sa yo ta renmen tande.
For the time will come when they will not listen to the sound doctrine, but having itching ears, will heap up for themselves teachers after their own lusts,
4 Yo p'ap vle tande verite a, y'a pito koute istwa ki pa vre.
and will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn away to fables.
5 Men, ou menm, kenbe tèt ou an plas nan tout sikonstans. Sipòte tout kalite soufrans. Fè travay moun k'ap anonse bòn nouvèl la. Fè devwa ou ak tout kè ou, tankou yon sèvitè Bondye.
But you be sober in all things, suffer hardship, do the work of an evangelist, and fulfill your ministry.
6 Pou mwen menm, lè a rive kote yo pral ofri m' tankou bèt y'ap ofri bay Bondye, lè a vini pou m' kite lavi sa a/.
For I am already being offered, and the time of my departure has come.
7 Mwen fin mennen batay la byen mennen, mwen rive nan bout kous mwen, mwen kenbe konfyans mwen fèm nan Bondye.
I have fought the good fight. I have finished the course. I have kept the faith.
8 Koulye a, se rekonpans mwen m'ap tann pou lavi dwat mwen te mennen an. Lè gran jou a va rive, Seyè k'ap jije san patipri a ap mete rekonpans mwen an tankou yon kouwòn sou tèt mwen. Men, se pa mwen ase l'ap bay li. Tout moun k'ap tann ak tout kè yo lè la gen pou l' parèt la, va resevwa l' tou.
From now on, the crown of righteousness is stored up for me, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give to me on that day; and not to me only, but also to all those who have loved his appearing.
9 Fè posib ou vin jwenn mwen touswit.
Be diligent to come to me soon,
10 Paske, Demas lage m', li te renmen bagay ki nan lemonn lan twòp. Li pati, li ale Tesalonik. Kresan pou tèt pa l' al nan peyi Galasi, Tit ale Dalmasi. (aiōn g165)
for Demas left me, having loved this present age (aiōn g165), and went to Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia; and Titus to Dalmatia.
11 Se Lik sèlman ki la avèk mwen. Pran Mak avèk ou lè w'ap vini. La ban m' yon bon kout men nan travay la.
Only Luke is with me. Take Mark and bring him with you, for he is useful to me for service.
12 Mwen voye Tichik lavil Efèz.
But I sent Tychicus to Ephesus.
13 Lè w'ap vini, pase pran gwo manto mwen te kite lakay Kapis, lavil Twoas, pote l' pou mwen. Pote Liv yo tou, espesyalman sa ki fèt ak po bèt yo.
Bring the cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus when you come—and the books, especially the parchments.
14 Aleksann, bòs fòjon an, fè m' anpil tò. Seyè a va ba l' sa l' merite dapre sa l' fè a.
Alexander the coppersmith did much evil to me. The Lord will repay him according to his deeds.
15 Pran prekosyon ou avè l', ou menm tou. Paske li pa t' vle tande sa n'ap di a menm.
Beware of him, for he greatly opposed our words.
16 pa t' gen pesonn pou ede m' premye jou mwen t'ap fè defans mwen devan chèf yo. Tout moun kite m' pou kont mwen. Mwen mande Bondye pou l' padonnen yo sa.
At my first defense, no one came to help me, but all left me. May it not be held against them.
17 Men, Seyè a te kanpe la avè m', li ban m' fòs. Se sak fè, mwen te kapab fè konnen pawòl la nèt ale, pou tout moun ki pa jwif yo te ka tande li. Se konsa Bondye wete m' nan bouch lyon an.
But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, that through me the message might be fully proclaimed, and that all the Gentiles might hear. So I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.
19 Di Priska ak Akilas bonjou pou mwen, ansanm ak tout moun ki lakay Onezifò yo.
Greet Prisca and Aquila, and the house of Onesiphorus.
20 Eras te rete Korent. Mwen te blije kite Twofim lavil Milè paske li te malad.
Erastus remained at Corinth, but I left Trophimus at Miletus sick.
21 Fè posib ou pou ou vin jwenn mwen anvan sezon fredi a rive. Ebilis, Pidans, Lenis, Klodya ak tout lòt frè yo voye bonjou pou ou.
Be diligent to come before winter. Eubulus salutes you, as do Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brothers.
22 Mwen mande Seyè a pou l' toujou la avèk ou. benediksyon Bondye avèk nou tout. Amèn.
The Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.
