1 Timote 6
1 Tout sila ki anba jouk esklavaj yo dwe gade pwòp mèt yo kòm moun ki dign de tout onè pou pèsòn pa kapab pale mal kont non a Bondye e ak doktrin nou an.
Let bondmen, as many as are under a yoke, regard their own masters worthy of all respect, so that the name of God and the doctrine may not be blasphemed.
2 Sila ki gen kwayan kòm mèt yo pa dwe derespekte yo paske yo se frè yo, men dwe sèvi yo plis toujou, paske sila ki pataje benefis yo se kwayan e byeneme. Enstwi e preche prensip sa yo.
And those who have believing masters, let them not disparage them because they are brothers, instead let them serve more because they are believers and beloved-those who are recipients of the benefit. Teach and exhort these things.
3 Si yon moun ap enstwi yon lòt doktrin, e pa dakò avèk bon pawòl sen, sila ki soti nan Senyè nou an, Jésus Kri, e avèk doktrin ki konfòm ak sentete a,
If any man teaches something different, and does not associate with wholesome words, those of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine according to piety,
4 li se yon moun ògeye e pa konprann anyen, men li gen yon obsesyon pou poze kesyon diskisyon e fè kont pou mo ki sòti nan lanvi, konfli, jouman, ak sispèk moun mal,
he is puffed up, understanding nothing, but doting about disputes and word controversies, from which develop envy, strife, revilings, evil surmisings,
5 diskisyon san rete antremoun ak panse konwonpi e san verite, ki sipoze ke vi sentete a se yon mwayen pou fè pwofi.
constant frictions of men corrupted in mind, and destitute of the truth, supposing piety to be a means of gain. Withdraw from such.
6 Men vi sentete a vrèman gen anpil pwofi lè l akonpanye ak kontantman.
But piety with contentment is great gain,
7 Paske nou pa t pote anyen nan mond lan, donk nou p ap kab retire anyen ladann pou soti nonplis.
for we brought nothing into the world. It is clear that neither can we carry anything out,
8 Si nou genyen manje avèk rad, avèk sa yo, nou dwe kontan.
but having food and covering we will be content with these.
9 Men sila ki vle vin rich yo, tonbe nan tantasyon, yon pèlen plen foli ak move dezi ki konn plonje moun nan destriksyon ak pèdisyon.
But those who want to be rich fall into a temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful lusts, which sink men in destruction and ruin.
10 Paske lanmou lajan se yon rasin a tout kalite mechanste, e kèk moun, akoz gwo lanvi pou li, gen tan vin egare soti nan lafwa e pèse pwòp tèt yo ak anpil gwo doulè.
For the love of money is a root of all the evils, of which some aspiring have wandered from the faith, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
11 Men kouri kite bagay sa yo, ou menm, moun Bondye a, e kouri dèyè ladwati, vi sentete, lafwa, lanmou, pèseverans, ak tandrès.
But thou, O man of God, flee these things, and pursue righteousness, piety, faith, love, patience, meekness.
12 Mennen bon konba lafwa a. Kenbe fèm a lavi etènèl la pou sila ou te rele a, e te fè bon konfesyon nan prezans a anpil temwen yo. (aiōnios g166)
Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life for which thou are called, and confessed the good confession in the sight of many witnesses. (aiōnios g166)
13 Mwen kòmande ou nan prezans Bondye, ki bay lavi a tout bagay yo, e nan Kris Jésus ki te temwaye bon konfesyon devan Ponce Pilate la,
I command thee in the sight of God, who makes all live, and of Christ Jesus, who testified to Pontius Pilate the good confession,
14 pou ou kenbe kòmandman an san tach oubyen repwòch, jiska aparisyon Senyè nou an, Jésus Kri.
that thou keep the commandment, without spot, blameless, until the appearance of our Lord Jesus Christ,
15 Li va fè rive nan tan konvenab li—Sila ki beni e ki se sèl Souveren an, Wa a tout wa yo e Senyè tout senyè yo.
which he will show in his own times, the blessed and only Potentate, the King of those who are kings, and Lord of those who are lords,
16 Sila sèl ki posede imòtalite a e ki rete nan limyè ke nou pa kapab menm apwoche a; Sila ke pèsòn pa janm wè oubyen pa kab wè a. A Li menm, lonè ak tout pouvwa pou tout tan e pou tout tan. Amen. (aiōnios g166)
who alone has immortality, dwelling in irreproachable light, whom no man has seen, nor can see, to whom is honor and eternal dominion. Truly. (aiōnios g166)
17 Enstwi sila ki rich nan mond sa yo pou pa vin ògeye ni plase espwa yo nan richès ki pa sèten, men nan Bondye ki founi nou an abondans tout bagay nou bezwen pou fè nou kontan. (aiōn g165)
Command the rich in the present age not to be arrogant, nor hope in the uncertainty of wealth, but in the living God, who supplies us all things abundantly for enjoyment, (aiōn g165)
18 Enstwi yo pou fè sa ki bon, pou vin rich nan bon zèv, pou renmen bay, e toujou prèt pou pataje.
to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous, willing to share,
19 Konsa, y ap toujou ranmase nan pwòp depo yo trezò a yon bon fondasyon pou lavni, pou yo kapab kenbe fèm a sa ki se vrèman lavi a.
storing up for themselves a good foundation for that which is coming, so that they may take hold of the eternal life.
20 O Timothée, gade byen sa ki konfye a ou menm nan, e evite pale pawòl mond lan, pawòl vid e san sans, ak tout diskou fo pawòl yo rele “konesans” lan,
O Timothy, keep the entrustment, avoiding the profane babblings and objections of the falsely-called knowledge,
21 ke kèk moun te pwofese, e konsa yo te vin egare kite lafwa. Ke lagras avèk nou. Amen.
which some men professing have missed the mark concerning the faith. Grace is with thee. Truly.
