2 Timote 2
1 Konsa, ou menm, fis mwen an se pou ou dyanm nan gras ki nan Kris Jésus a.
Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.
2 Bagay ke ou te tande de mwen nan prezans a anpil temwen yo, konfye yo a moun ki fidèl, ki kapab osi enstwi lòt yo.
And those (doctrines) which thou hast heard from me by many witnesses, them commit to faithful men, who are also able to teach others.
3 Soufri difikilte avèk mwen, tankou yon bon sòlda a Kris Jésus.
And endure evils as a good soldier of Jeshu Meshiha.
4 Nanpwen sòlda an sèvis ki mele tèt li nan zafè lavi kotidyèn, pou li kapab fè plezi a sila ki te enskri li kòm sòlda a.
No man serveth as a soldier, and entangleth himself with the affairs of the world, that he might please him who hath chosen him.
5 Osi, si yon moun nan konpetisyon nan spò, li p ap genyen pri a amwenske li fè konpetisyon an selon règ yo.
And if one contendeth, he is not crowned, unless according to his law he contend.
6 Kiltivatè ki travay di a ta dwe premyè pou resevwa pòsyon pa l nan rekòlt la.
It becometh the husbandman who laboureth that he should first eat of his fruits.
7 Konsidere sa ke m di a, paske Senyè a va ba ou bon konprann nan tout bagay.
Understand what I say to thee. Our Lord give thee wisdom in all things.
8 Sonje Jésus Kri leve soti nan lanmò, desandan a David la, selon levanjil mwen an.
Remember Jeshu Meshiha, that he arose from among the dead, he who is of the seed of David, according to my gospel;
9 Pou li menm, mwen soufri difikilte, menm anprizone kòm yon kriminèl; men pawòl Bondye a pa anprizone.
for which I endure evils unto bonds, as an evil-doer: but the word of Aloha is not bound.
10 Pou rezon sa a, mwen andire tout bagay, pou koz a sila ki te chwazi yo, pou yo kapab osi vin jwenn sali ki nan Kris Jésus a e avèk li, laglwa etènèl. (aiōnios g166)
Therefore I endure every thing on account of the elect, that they also may find salvation in Jeshu Meshiha, with the glory that is eternal. (aiōnios g166)
11 “Sa se yon vrè pawòl: Paske si nou te mouri avèk Li, nou va osi viv avèk Li.
Faithful is the word: For if we be dead with him, With him also we shall live;
12 Si nou andire, nou va osi renye avèk Li. Si nou rejte Li, Li tou va rejte nou.
And if we endure, We shall also reign with him; But, if we deny him, He also will deny us!
13 Si nou pa fidèl Li rete fidèl; paske Li pa kapab nye pwòp tèt Li.”
And if we believe him not, He in his faithfulness abideth; For deny himself he cannot.
14 Fè yo sonje bagay sa yo, eanchaje yo solanèlman nan prezans a Bondye pou yo pa goumen sou pawòl yo, ki initil e ki mennen nan destriksyon sila k ap tande yo.
Of these (truths) remind them, and testify before our Lord, that they contend not with unprofitable words, to the overturning of those who hear them.
15 Se pou ou dilijan pou prezante tèt ou apwouve bay Bondye, kòm yon ouvriye ki pa bezwen wont, ki livre byen klè pawòl verite a.
And be careful to establish thyself perfectly before Aloha, a workman without shame, preaching rightly the word of truth.
16 Men evite pale pawòl anven a mond sa a, paske l ap fè nou soti lwen lafwa Bondye a.
From vain words which have no utility in them withdraw; for they add greatly to the wickedness of those who are occupied with them.
17 Epi pawòl sa yo va gaye tankou pwazon nan san. Pami yo, Hyménée ak Philète:
And their words as an eating cancer will lay hold upon many: but one of them is Hymeneos, and another Philetos,
18 Moun ki te egare kite verite yo nan di ke rezirèksyon an gen tan fèt deja a, e konsa yo te boulvèse lafwa a kèk moun.
who have erred from the truth, saying, that the resurrection of the dead hath been, and the faith of some overturning.
19 Malgre fondasyon Bondye a kanpe byen fèm, e li gen so sila a sou li: “Senyè a konnen sila ki pou Li yo”, epi: “Ke tout moun ki nonmen non Senyè a rete lwen mechanste.”
But the true foundation of Aloha standeth; and it hath this signature: And the Lord knoweth them who are his. And, Let every one who invoketh the name of the Lord depart from iniquity.
20 Alò, nan yon gran mezon, pa gen sèlman veso an lò ak lajan, men osi veso an bwa ak kanari. Yon pati pou onore e yon pati pou dezonore.
But in a great house there are not vessels of gold only or of silver, but also of wood, also of clay: of them (some are) to honour, and of them (some) to dishonour.
21 Konsa, si yon nonm netwaye tèt li de bagay sa yo, li va yon veso lonè, sanktifye, itil pou Mèt la, prepare pou tout bon zèv.
If a man then purify himself from these, he will be a pure vessel unto honour, fitted for the use of his Lord, and prepared for every good work.
22 Alò, sove kite move dezi a jenès yo; men pouswiv ladwati, lafwa, lanmou ak lapè, avèk sila ki rele non Senyè yo avèk yon kè ki san tach.
From all the lusts of youth escape; and pursue after righteousness, and faith, and charity, and peace, with them who call upon the Lord with a pure heart.
23 Men refize diskisyon ki sòt e san bon rezon yo, paske ou konnen ke y ap prodwi konfli.
From foolish controversies which are without instruction withdraw; for thou knowest that they beget strifes.
24 Yon sèvitè-atache nèt a Senyè a pa dwe renmen fè kont, men se pou li janti ak tout moun, avèk yon kapasite pou l enstwi e pasyan lè yo fè li lenjistis,
But a servant of the Lord oweth not to strive, but to be gentle towards every man, and teaching, and long-suffering,
25 avèk dousè, korije sila ki nan opozisyon yo, pou si petèt Bondye kapab bay yo repantans k ap mennen yo a konesans verite a,
that he may instruct them who would contend against him with meekness, if by any means Aloha may give them conversion, and they may acknowledge the truth,
26 pou yo kapab twouve bon sans pa yo, pou chape anba pèlen a Dyab la, ki kenbe yo kaptif pou fè volonte l.
and be mindful of themselves, and remove from the snare of Satana, by whom they have been entrapped at his will.
