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 give this solemn command before God and Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and because of his appearing 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.
Preach the word; be ready when it is convenient and when it is not. Reprove, rebuke, exhort, with all 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 the time will come when people will not endure sound teaching. Instead, they will heap up for themselves teachers according to their own desires, who say what their itching ears want to hear.
4 Konsa, yo va vire zòrèy yo kite verite a akote pou fo istwa yo.
They will turn their hearing away from the truth, and they will 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 you, be sober-minded in all things. Suffer hardship; do the work of an evangelist; fulfill your service.
6 Paske mwen deja ap vide kòm yon ofrann bwason, e lè pou m ale a gen tan rive.
For I am already being poured out. The time of my departure has come.
7 Mwen mennen bon konba a, mwen fin fè kous la, mwen kenbe lafwa.
I have competed in the good contest; I have finished 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.
The crown of righteousness has been reserved for me, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give 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 quickly.
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 left me. He loves this present world and has gone to Thessalonica. Crescens went to Galatia, and Titus went 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.
Only Luke is with me. Get Mark and bring him with you because he is useful to me in the work.
12 Men Tychique, mwen te voye li Éphèse.
Tychicus I sent to Ephesus.
13 Lè ou vini, pote manto ke m te kite Troas avèk Carpus la, menm ak liv yo, sitou woulo yo.
The cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus, bring it when you come, and the books, 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 displayed many evil deeds against me. The Lord will repay him according to his deeds.
15 Veye kont li ou menm, paske li te opoze ak fòs a enstriksyon nou an.
You also should guard yourself against him, because he greatly opposed 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 with me. Instead, everyone left 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 by me and strengthened me so that, through me, the message might be fully proclaimed, and that all the Gentiles might hear it; and that I was rescued out of the lion's mouth.
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 will rescue me from every evil deed and will save 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.
Greet Priscilla, Aquila, and the house of Onesiphorus.
20 Éraste te rete Corinthe, men Trophime, mwen te kite li malad Milet.
Erastus remained at Corinth, but 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.
Do your best to come before winter. Eubulus greets you, also Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brothers.
22 Ke Senyè a avèk lespri ou. Ke lagras avèk ou.
May the Lord be with your spirit. May grace be with you.
