1 Timote 4
1 Men Lespri a di byen klè ke nan dènye tan yo, kèk moun va tonbe kite lafwa pou prete atansyon a Lespri twonpè ak doktrin a dyab yo,
But the Spirit says expressly that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons,
2 epi pa mwayen ipokrizi a mantè yo, vin make nan pwòp konsyans pa yo, kòmsi li brile avèk fè etanp ki cho;
through the hypocrisy of liars, branded in their own conscience as with a hot iron;
3 moun ki entèdi maryaj, e k ap rekòmande evite manje, ke Bondye te kreye pou pataje avèk remèsiman pa sila ki kwè e ki konnen verite yo.
forbidding marriage and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.
4 Paske tout bagay kreye pa Bondye, bon, e anyen pa dwe rejte, si li resevwa avèk remèsiman,
For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected, if it is received with thanksgiving.
5 paske li sanktifye pa mwayen pawòl Bondye a ak lapriyè.
For it is sanctified through the word of God and prayer.
6 Nan montre bagay sa yo a frè yo, nou va yon bon sèvitè a Kris Jésus, e nou va nouri tout tan nan pawòl lafwa ak bon doktrin ke nou deja ap swiv yo.
If you instruct the brothers of these things, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, nourished in the words of the faith, and of the good doctrine which you have followed.
7 Men pa okipe vye listwa mond yo ki fèt pou vye fanm yo. Sou lòt kote, disipline tèt ou pou vi sentete a.
But have nothing to do with irreverent and silly myths. And train yourself for godliness.
8 Paske disiplin pou kò a sèlman, pa gen gran avantaj men vi sentete a gen avantaj nan tout jan, paske li kenbe pwomès pou lavi koulye a, e osi pou lavi k ap vini an.
For bodily exercise has some value, but godliness has value in all things, having the promise of the life which is now, and of that which is to come.
9 Sa se yon vrè Pawòl ki merite aksepte pa tout moun.
This saying is faithful and worthy of all acceptance.
10 Paske se pou sa nou travay ak fè efò a. Nou gen tan fikse esperans nou sou Bondye vivan an, ki se Sovè a tout moun, sitou a kwayan yo.
For to this end we both labor and strive, because we have set our trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all people, especially of those who believe.
11 Preskri e enstwi bagay sa yo.
Command and teach these things.
12 Pa kite pèsòn gade ou ba akoz jenès ou, men de preferans nan pawòl, kondwit lanmou, lafwa, ak yon vi san tach, prezante tèt ou kòm yon egzanp a sila ki kwè yo.
Let no one despise your youth; but be an example to those who believe, in word, in your way of life, in love, in faith, and in purity.
13 Jiskaske m vini, bay enpòtans a li lekriti sen yo an piblik, a egzòtasyon ak enstriksyon.
Until I come, pay attention to reading, to exhortation, and to teaching.
14 Pa neglije don Lespri Bondye ki nan ou a, ki te bay a ou menm pa yon pawòl pwofetik avèk men Ansyen ki te poze sou ou yo.
Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the elders.
15 Konsakre ou seryezman a bagay sa yo; antre ladan yo, pou pwogrè ou kapab klè a tout moun.
Be diligent in these things. Give yourself wholly to them, that your progress may be revealed to all.
16 Prete anpil atansyon a tèt ou e ak enstriksyon ou an. Pèsevere nan bagay sa yo, paske lè ou fè sa, ou va asire Sali tèt ou ak sila ki tande ou yo.
Pay attention to yourself, and to your teaching. Continue in these things, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you.
