2 Timote 2
1 Konsa, ou menm, fis mwen an se pou ou dyanm nan gras ki nan Kris Jésus a.
You therefore, my child, be strengthened in the grace that is in Messiah Yeshua.
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.
The things which you have heard from me amongst many witnesses, commit the same things to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.
3 Soufri difikilte avèk mwen, tankou yon bon sòlda a Kris Jésus.
You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Messiah Yeshua.
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 soldier on duty entangles himself in the affairs of life, that he may please him who enrolled him as a soldier.
5 Osi, si yon moun nan konpetisyon nan spò, li p ap genyen pri a amwenske li fè konpetisyon an selon règ yo.
Also, if anyone competes in athletics, he isn’t crowned unless he has competed by the rules.
6 Kiltivatè ki travay di a ta dwe premyè pou resevwa pòsyon pa l nan rekòlt la.
The farmer who labours must be the first to get a share of the crops.
7 Konsidere sa ke m di a, paske Senyè a va ba ou bon konprann nan tout bagay.
Consider what I say, and may the Lord give you understanding in all things.
8 Sonje Jésus Kri leve soti nan lanmò, desandan a David la, selon levanjil mwen an.
Remember Yeshua the Messiah, risen from the dead, of the offspring of David, according to my Good News,
9 Pou li menm, mwen soufri difikilte, menm anprizone kòm yon kriminèl; men pawòl Bondye a pa anprizone.
in which I suffer hardship to the point of chains as a criminal. But God’s word isn’t chained.
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 all things for the chosen ones’ sake, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Messiah Yeshua with eternal glory. (aiōnios g166)
11 “Sa se yon vrè pawòl: Paske si nou te mouri avèk Li, nou va osi viv avèk Li.
This saying is trustworthy: “For if we died with him, we will also live with him.
12 Si nou andire, nou va osi renye avèk Li. Si nou rejte Li, Li tou va rejte nou.
If we endure, we will also reign with him. 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.”
If we are faithless, he remains faithful; for he can’t deny himself.”
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.
Remind them of these things, charging them in the sight of the Lord that they don’t argue about words to no profit, to the subverting of those who hear.
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.
Give diligence to present yourself approved by God, a workman who doesn’t need to be ashamed, properly handling the Word of Truth.
16 Men evite pale pawòl anven a mond sa a, paske l ap fè nou soti lwen lafwa Bondye a.
But shun empty chatter, for it will go further in ungodliness,
17 Epi pawòl sa yo va gaye tankou pwazon nan san. Pami yo, Hyménée ak Philète:
and those words will consume like gangrene, of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus:
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.
men who have erred concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection is already past, and overthrowing the faith of some.
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.”
However, God’s firm foundation stands, having this seal: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Let every one who names the name of the Lord depart from unrighteousness.”
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.
Now in a large house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of clay. Some are for honour and some for 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 anyone therefore purges himself from these, he will be a vessel for honour, sanctified, and suitable for the master’s use, 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.
Flee from youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
23 Men refize diskisyon ki sòt e san bon rezon yo, paske ou konnen ke y ap prodwi konfli.
But refuse foolish and ignorant questionings, knowing that they generate strife.
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,
The Lord’s servant must not quarrel, but be gentle towards all, able to teach, patient,
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,
in gentleness correcting those who oppose him. Perhaps God may give them repentance leading to a full knowledge of 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 they may recover themselves out of the devil’s snare, having been taken captive by him to do his will.
