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 emissary of Yeshua the Messiah according to the commandment of God our Saviour and the Lord Yeshua the Messiah 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.
to Timothy, my true child in faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God our Father and Messiah Yeshua 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 urged you when I was going into Macedonia, stay at Ephesus that you might command certain men not to teach a different 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.
and not to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which cause disputes rather than God’s stewardship, which is in faith.
5 Men bi a enstriksyon nou an se lanmou ki soti nan yon kè san tach, bon konsyans ak yon lafwa ki sensè.
But the goal of this command is love from a pure heart, a good conscience, and sincere faith,
6 Paske kèk moun, nan egare kite bagay sa yo pou vin detounen nan diskou ki pa pote fwi,
from which things some, having missed the mark, have turned away to vain talking,
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, though they understand neither what they say nor about what they strongly 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 person uses 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,
as knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and sinners, for the 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 the sexually immoral, for homosexuals, for slave-traders, for liars, for perjurers, and for any other thing contrary to the sound doctrine,
11 selon levanjil laglwa Bondye ki beni an, li menm ke yo te konfye m nan.
according to the Good News of the glory 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:
I thank him who enabled me, Messiah Yeshua our Lord, because he counted me faithful, appointing me to service,
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.
although I used to be a blasphemer, a persecutor, and insolent. However, 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.
The grace of our Lord abounded exceedingly with faith and love which is in Messiah Yeshua.
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.
The saying is faithful and worthy of all acceptance, that Messiah Yeshua 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)
However, for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first, Yeshua the Messiah might display all his patience for an example of those who were going to believe in him for eternal life. (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 to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honour and glory forever 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,
I commit this instruction to you, my child Timothy, according to the prophecies which were given to you before, that by them you may wage the 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 thrust away made a shipwreck concerning the faith,
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 are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I delivered to Satan that they might be taught not to blaspheme.
