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 all who are under the yoke as bond-servants count their own masters worthy of all honor, that the name of God and his doctrine be not 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 they that have believing masters, let them not despise them because they are brethren; but rather do them service, because they who receive the benefit are faithful and beloved. These things teach and exhort.
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 one teacheth other doctrine, and assenteth not to sound words, the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness,
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 with pride, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, from which cometh envy, strife, railings, 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.
incessant disputings of men corrupted in their minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that godliness is gain.
6 Men vi sentete a vrèman gen anpil pwofi lè l akonpanye ak kontantman.
But godliness 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; and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
8 Si nou genyen manje avèk rad, avèk sa yo, nou dwe kontan.
If we have, then, food and raiment, we will be therewith content.
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 they who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
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 evils; which some coveting have strayed away from the faith, and have pierced themselves through with many pangs.
11 Men kouri kite bagay sa yo, ou menm, moun Bondye a, e kouri dèyè ladwati, vi sentete, lafwa, lanmou, pèseverans, ak tandrès.
But do thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, 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 faith, lay hold on everlasting life, to which thou wast called, and didst profess the good profession before 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 charge thee before God, who giveth life to all things, and before Christ Jesus, who under Pontius Pilate testified the good profession,
14 pou ou kenbe kòmandman an san tach oubyen repwòch, jiska aparisyon Senyè nou an, Jésus Kri.
that thou keep the commandment without spot, without reproach, until the appearing 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 in his own times he shall show, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of 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 only hath immortality, dwelling in light unapproachable, whom no man hath seen, or can see; to whom be honor and power everlasting. Amen. (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)
Charge those who are rich in this world that they be not high-minded, nor place their hope in uncertain riches, but in God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; that they do good, (aiōn g165)
18 Enstwi yo pou fè sa ki bon, pou vin rich nan bon zèv, pou renmen bay, e toujou prèt pou pataje.
that they be rich in good works, liberal in imparting, willing to communicate,
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.
laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on the true 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 that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding the profane babblings, and oppositions 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 professing, have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee.
