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 adjure you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus who is about to judge the living and the dead - by his appearing and his kingdom, I adjure you -
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.
proclaim the message, be urgent in season and out of season; convince, rebuke, encourage, with never-failing patience and teaching.
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 a time will come when they will not listen to wholesome teaching, but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will heap up for themselves teachers upon teachers to satisfy their own fancies.
4 Konsa, yo va vire zòrèy yo kite verite a akote pou fo istwa yo.
They will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn aside to myths.
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, be always self-controlled, face hardships, do the work of a missionary, discharge all the duties of your ministry.
6 Paske mwen deja ap vide kòm yon ofrann bwason, e lè pou m ale a gen tan rive.
I for my part am a libation already being poured in sacrifice; and the time of my unmooring is at hand.
7 Mwen mennen bon konba a, mwen fin fè kous la, mwen kenbe lafwa.
I have fought in the glorious contest; I have run the race; I have kept 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.
Henceforth there is laid up for me the garland of righteousness which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that Day, and not to me only, but also to all those who have loved his appearing.
9 Fè tout efò pou vini kote mwen byen vit,
Do your best to come to me speedily,
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 deserted me for love of this present world, and is gone to Thessalonica; Crescens is 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 only is with me. Pick up Mark, and bring him with you, for he is useful to me in my ministry.
12 Men Tychique, mwen te voye li Éphèse.
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 come, bring the cloak I left in Troas with Carpus; also my books, but especially my parchments.
14 Alexandre, bòs fòjewon an, te fè mwen anpil mal. Senyè a va rann li sa selon zèv li.
Alexander, the coppersmith, manifested bitter hostility toward me. The Lord will requite him according to his works.
15 Veye kont li ou menm, paske li te opoze ak fòs a enstriksyon nou an.
Be also on your guard against him, for he has violently opposed my arguments.
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 the time of my first defense no one stood by me; on the contrary they all deserted me - may it not be laid to their charge!
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.
Nevertheless the Lord Jesus stood by me, and strengthened my heart, that through me full proclamation of the gospel might be made, and the Gentiles might hear it; and I was rescued from the lion’s jaws.
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)
And the Lord will rescue me from every evil assault, and will preserve me for his heavenly kingdom. To him be the glory forever and ever! Amen! (aiōn g165)
19 Salye Prisca ak Aquillas, ak tout kay Onésiphore a.
Give my greetings to 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; Trophimus I left behind me ill 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.
Do try to come before winter. Eubulus greets you, and so do Pudens and Linus and Claudia and all the brotherhood.
22 Ke Senyè a avèk lespri ou. Ke lagras avèk ou.
The Lord Jesus be with your spirit. Grace be with you all.
