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 as many servants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honor, that the name of God and [his] 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 they that have believing masters, let them not despise [them], because they are brethren; but rather do [them] service, because they are faithful and beloved, partakers of the benefit. 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 man teacheth otherwise, and consenteth not to wholesome words, [even] the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and 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 proud, 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.
Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing gain to be godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
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 [this] world, [and it is] certain we can carry nothing out.
8 Si nou genyen manje avèk rad, avèk sa yo, nou dwe kontan.
And having food and raiment, with these let us be 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 that will 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 the root of all evil: which while some have coveted, they have erred from the faith, and 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 from 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 eternal life, to which thou art also called, and hast professed a 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 give thee charge in the sight of God, who maketh alive all things, and [before] Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate testified a good confession;
14 pou ou kenbe kòmandman an san tach oubyen repwòch, jiska aparisyon Senyè nou an, Jésus Kri.
That thou keep [this] commandment without spot, unrebukable, 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 times he will 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 the light which no man can approach; whom no man hath seen, nor 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 them that are rich in this world, that they be not high-minded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; (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 do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, 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 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 that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane [and] vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called;
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. Amen.
