2 Timote 1
1 Paul yon apot a Kris Jésus pa volonte Bondye, selon pwomès lavi ki nan Kris Jésus,
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, according to the promise of the life which is in Christ Jesus,
2 a Timothée fis byeneme mwen an: Lagras, mizerikòd, ak lapè Bondye, Papa a, e Kris Jésus, Senyè nou an.
to Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 Mwen remèsye Bondye ke mwen sèvi avèk yon bon konsyans jan zansèt mwen yo te fè a, pandan mwen sonje ou tout tan nan lapriyè mwen yo lannwit kon lajounen
I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers in a pure conscience, how unceasing is my remembrance of thee in my supplications, night and day
4 avèk lanvi pou m wè ou menm lè mwen sonje dlo ki te sòti nan zye ou, pou m kapab ranpli avèk jwa.
longing to see thee, remembering thy tears, that I may be filled with joy;
5 Paske mwen sonje lafwa sensè ki nan ou a, ki te dabò rete nan grann ou, Lois ak manman ou, Eunice, e mwen byen si ke li nan ou tou.
having been reminded of the unfeigned faith that is in thee; which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and, I am persuaded, in thee also.
6 Pou rezon sa a, mwen fè ou sonje pou rechofe don Bondye ki nan ou depi mwen te poze menm sou ou a.
For the which cause I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee through the laying on of my hands.
7 Paske Bondye pa bannou yon lespri timidite, men pouvwa, lanmou ak disiplin.
For God gave us not a spirit of fearfulness; but of power and love and discipline.
8 Konsa pa fè wont de temwayaj Senyè nou an, ni mwen menm nan, prizonye Li a, men vin jwenn ansanm avè m nan soufrans pou levanjil la selon pouvwa Bondye a,
Be not ashamed therefore of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but suffer hardship with the gospel according to the power of God;
9 ki te sove nou e te rele nou avèk yon apèl ki sen, pa selon zèv nou yo, men selon pwòp bi ak gras pa L, ki te bay a nou menm nan Kris Jésus depi tout letènite, (aiōnios g166)
who saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before times eternal, (aiōnios g166)
10 men koulye a, ki vin revele pa aparans a Sovè nou an, Kris Jésus, ki te aboli lanmò e te pote lavi ak imòtalite nan limyè, atravè levanjil la.
but hath now been manifested by the appearing of our Saviour Christ Jesus, who abolished death, and brought life and incorruption to light through the gospel,
11 Pou li menm, mwen te chwazi kòm predikatè, apot, ak pwofesè pou ale vè etranje yo.
whereunto I was appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher.
12 Pou rezon sa a, mwen osi soufri bagay sa yo, men mwen pa wont; paske mwen konnen nan kilès mwen kwè a, e mwen konvenk ke Li kapab pwoteje sa ke m livre a Li menm nan jiska jou sa a.
For the which cause I suffer also these things: yet I am not ashamed; for I know him whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to guard that which I have committed unto him against that day.
13 Kenbe fèm a pawòl sen ke ou tande de mwen yo, nan lafwa ak lanmou ki nan Kris Jésus a.
Hold the pattern of sound words which thou hast heard from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
14 Veye byen, selon lespri Sen ki demere nan nou an, trezò kite konfye a ou a.
That good thing which was committed unto [thee] guard through the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us.
15 Ou byen okouran ke tout moun ki an Asie yo, te vire kite m, pami yo menm, Phygelle ak Hermogène.
This thou knowest, that all that are in Asia turned away from me; of whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.
16 Ke Senyè a bay mizerikòd a lakay Onésiphore, paske Li te souvan konsole m, e li pa t wont pou chenn mwen yo;
The Lord grant mercy unto the house of Onesiphorus: for he oft refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain;
17 men lè li te Rome, li te chèche mwen avèk dilijans e li te jwenn mwen.
but, when he was in Rome, he sought me diligently, and found me
18 Ke Senyè a fè li jwenn mizerikòd Senyè a nan jou sa a—e ke ou konnen trè byen tout sèvis li te rann nan Éphèse.
(the Lord grant unto him to find mercy of the Lord in that day); and in how many things he ministered at Ephesus, thou knowest very well.
