1 Timote 1
1 Paul, yon apot a Kris Jésus selon kòmandman Bondye a, Sovè nou an, e a Kris Jésus ki se esperans nou.
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, [which is] our hope;
2 A Timothée, vrè pitit mwen nan lafwa mwen an: lagras, mizerikòd, ak lapè ki soti nan Bondye Papa a, e Senyè nou an, Jésus Kri.
Unto Timothy, [my] own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, [and] peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.
3 Jan mwen te ankouraje ou sou depa mwen pou Macédoine nan, rete an Éphèse pou nou kapab enstwi sèten moun pou yo pa enstwi yon lòt doktrin nèf;
As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine,
4 ni pou yo pa prete atansyon a fo istwa ak jeneyaloji ki pa janm fini, e ki ankouraje espekilasyon olye pou yo fè avanse jerans Bondye pa lafwa a.
Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: [so do].
5 Men bi a enstriksyon nou an se lanmou ki soti nan yon kè san tach, bon konsyans ak yon lafwa ki sensè.
Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and [of] a good conscience, and [of] faith unfeigned:
6 Paske kèk moun, nan egare kite bagay sa yo pou vin detounen nan diskou ki pa pote fwi,
From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling;
7 ki ta vle mèt k ap enstwi lalwa, menmsi yo pa menm konprann ni sa y ap di a, ni sijè ke yo pale avèk plen konfyans lan.
Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.
8 Men nou konnen ke Lalwa bon, si yon moun itilize li nan yon fason lejitim.
But we know that the law [is] good, if a man use it lawfully;
9 Reyalize ke Lalwa pa fèt pou yon nonm ki dwat, men pou sila ki san prensip e ki rebèl yo, pou sila ki san Bondye ak pechè yo, pou sila ki pa sen ak mechan yo, pou sila ki touye papa oswa manman yo, pou asasen yo,
Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
10 epi pou moun imoral ak moun k ap mennen vi gason ak gason, fanm ak fanm yo, e sila ki fè komès esklav ak mantè yo, e sila ki bay fo temwayaj ak tout lòt kalite bagay ki kontrè a bon doktrin yo,
For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;
11 selon levanjil laglwa Bondye ki beni an, li menm ke yo te konfye m nan.
According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
12 Mwen remèsye Kris Jésus Senyè nou an, ki te ranfòse mwen, paske Li te konsidere mwen fidèl e te mete m an sèvis:
And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;
13 malgre ke avan sa, mwen te yon blasfematè, yon pèsekitè e yon agresè vyolan. Malgre sa, mwen te resevwa gras akoz mwen te aji avèk inyorans nan enkwayans.
Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did [it] ignorantly in unbelief.
14 Konsa, lagras Senyè nou an te plis ke anpil, avèk lafwa ak lanmou ki twouve nan Kris Jésus a.
And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
15 Li se yon vrè pawòl, ki merite aksepte pa tout moun, ke Kris Jésus te vini nan mond lan pou sove pechè yo, pami sila yo, mwen menm se premye a.
This [is] a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.
16 Malgre tout, se pou rezon sa a, ke mwen te twouve gras; pouke nan mwen, kòm chèf pami pechè yo, Jésus Kris ta kapab montre pasyans pafè Li a, kòm yon egzanp pou sila ki ta kwè nan Li yo pou lavi etènèl. (aiōnios g166)
Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting. (aiōnios g166)
17 Koulye a, pou Wa etènèl la, imòtèl la, envizib la, sèl Bondye a; lonè ak laglwa pou tout tan e pou tout tan. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, [be] honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
18 Lòd sa a mwen konfye a ou menm, Timothée, fis mwen an, ki an akò avèk pwofesi a konsènan ou menm ki te fèt deja, ke pa yo menm, ou te mennen bon konba a,
This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare;
19 nan kenbe lafwa ak yon bon konsyans, ke kèk moun te rejte, e te fè nofraj nan sa ki gen rapò a lafwa yo.
Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck:
20 Pami sila yo, se Hyménée ak Alexandre, ke mwen te livre a Satan pou yo kab aprann pou yo pa fè blasfèm.
Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.
