2 Timote 4
1 Mwen anchaje ou solanèlman, nan prezans Bondye ak Kris Jésus a, ki dwe jije vivan ak mò yo, pa aparans ak wayòm Li an:
I testify before God, and before Jesus Christ, who shall judge the living and the dead through his return and his kingdom:
2 Preche pawòl la; pa neglije fè l ni nan sezon favorab ak nan lè l pa favorab; reprimande, repwoche, egzòte, avèk anpil pasyans ak enstriksyon.
that you should preach the word urgently, in season and out of season: reprove, entreat, rebuke, with all patience and doctrine.
3 Paske tan an va vini lè yo pa sipòte doktrin ki sen yo, men akoz yo vle sa ki fè zòrèy yo plezi, yo va ranmase pou kont yo, pwofesè ki dakò avèk pwòp dezi pa yo.
For there shall be a time when they will not endure sound doctrine, but instead, according to their own desires, they will gather to themselves teachers, with itching ears,
4 Konsa, yo va vire zòrèy yo kite verite a akote pou fo istwa yo.
and certainly, they will turn their hearing away from the truth, and they will be turned toward fables.
5 Men ou menm, rete tanpere nan tout bagay, sipòte difikilte yo, fè travay a yon evanjelis, akonpli ministè ou la.
But as for you, truly, be vigilant, laboring in all things. Do the work of an Evangelist, fulfilling your ministry. Show self-restraint.
6 Paske mwen deja ap vide kòm yon ofrann bwason, e lè pou m ale a gen tan rive.
For I am already being worn away, and the time of my dissolution presses close.
7 Mwen mennen bon konba a, mwen fin fè kous la, mwen kenbe lafwa.
I have fought the good fight. I have completed the course. I have preserved the faith.
8 A lavni m ap gen kouwòn ladwati a, ki prepare pou mwen deja, ke Senyè a, jij ladwati a, va ban m nan jou sila a; e pa sèlman de mwen menm, men osi a tout moun ki renmen aparisyon Li an.
As for the remainder, a crown of justice has been reserved for me, one which the Lord, the just judge, will render to me in that day, and not only to me, but also to those who look forward to his return.
9 Fè tout efò pou vini kote mwen byen vit,
Hurry to return to me soon.
10 paske Démas, ki renmen mond prezan sila a, te abandone m, e te ale Thessalonique. Crescens te ale Galatie, Tite te ale Dalmatie. (aiōn g165)
For Demas has abandoned me, out of love for this age, and he has departed for Thessalonica. Crescens has gone to Galatia; Titus to Dalmatia. (aiōn g165)
11 Se sèl Luc ki avè m. Pran Marc e mennen l vini avè w, paske li itil a mwen pou zèv mwen an.
Luke alone is with me. Take Mark and bring him with you; for he is useful to me in the ministry.
12 Men Tychique, mwen te voye li Éphèse.
But Tychicus I have sent to Ephesus.
13 Lè ou vini, pote manto ke m te kite Troas avèk Carpus la, menm ak liv yo, sitou woulo yo.
When you return, bring with you the supplies that I left with Carpus at Troas, and the books, but especially the parchments.
14 Alexandre, bòs fòjewon an, te fè mwen anpil mal. Senyè a va rann li sa selon zèv li.
Alexander the coppersmith has shown me much evil; the Lord will repay him according to his works.
15 Veye kont li ou menm, paske li te opoze ak fòs a enstriksyon nou an.
And you should also avoid him; for he has strongly resisted our words.
16 Nan premye defans mwen an, pèsòn pa t ban m soutyen yo, men yo tout te kite m. Ke sa pa kontwole kont yo.
At my first defense, no one stood by me, but everyone abandoned me. May it not be counted against them!
17 Men Senyè a te kanpe avèk mwen e te ban m fòs pou pwoklamasyon an ta kapab fin akonpli nèt, e pou tout pèp etranje yo kapab tande. Se konsa, mwen te sove soti nan bouch a lyon an.
But the Lord stood with me and strengthened me, so that through me the preaching would be accomplished, and so that all the Gentiles would hear. And I was freed from the mouth of the lion.
18 Anplis, Senyè a va delivre m de tout zèv mechan yo, e va mennen m san danje nan wayòm selès Li a. A Li menm, laglwa pou tout tan e pou tout tan. Amen. (aiōn g165)
The Lord has freed me from every evil work, and he will accomplish salvation by his heavenly kingdom. To him be glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
19 Salye Prisca ak Aquillas, ak tout kay Onésiphore a.
Greet Prisca, and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus.
20 Éraste te rete Corinthe, men Trophime, mwen te kite li malad Milet.
Erastus remained at Corinth. And Trophimus I left sick at Miletus.
21 Fè tout efò pou vini avan sezon livè a. Eubulus salye ou, Pudens, Linus, Claudia, ak tout frè yo salye ou osi.
Hurry to arrive before winter. Eubulus, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brothers greet you.
22 Ke Senyè a avèk lespri ou. Ke lagras avèk ou.
May the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. May grace be with you. Amen.
