2 Timote 1
1 Paul yon apot a Kris Jésus pa volonte Bondye, selon pwomès lavi ki nan Kris Jésus,
Paul, an Apostle of Christ Jesus, by the will of God, for proclaiming the promise of the Life which is in Christ Jesus:
2 a Timothée fis byeneme mwen an: Lagras, mizerikòd, ak lapè Bondye, Papa a, e Kris Jésus, Senyè nou an.
To Timothy my dearly-loved child. May grace, mercy and peace be granted to you from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 Mwen remèsye Bondye ke mwen sèvi avèk yon bon konsyans jan zansèt mwen yo te fè a, pandan mwen sonje ou tout tan nan lapriyè mwen yo lannwit kon lajounen
I thank God, whom I serve with a pure conscience--as my forefathers did--that night and day I unceasingly remember you in my prayers,
4 avèk lanvi pou m wè ou menm lè mwen sonje dlo ki te sòti nan zye ou, pou m kapab ranpli avèk jwa.
being always mindful of your tears, and longing to see you that I may be filled with joy.
5 Paske mwen sonje lafwa sensè ki nan ou a, ki te dabò rete nan grann ou, Lois ak manman ou, Eunice, e mwen byen si ke li nan ou tou.
For I recall the sincere faith which is in your heart--a faith which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and then in your mother Eunice, and, I am fully convinced, now dwells in you also.
6 Pou rezon sa a, mwen fè ou sonje pou rechofe don Bondye ki nan ou depi mwen te poze menm sou ou a.
For this reason let me remind you to rekindle God's gift which is yours through the laying on of my hands.
7 Paske Bondye pa bannou yon lespri timidite, men pouvwa, lanmou ak disiplin.
For the Spirit which God has given us is not a spirit of cowardice, but one of power and of love and of sound judgement.
8 Konsa pa fè wont de temwayaj Senyè nou an, ni mwen menm nan, prizonye Li a, men vin jwenn ansanm avè m nan soufrans pou levanjil la selon pouvwa Bondye a,
Do not be ashamed then to bear witness for our Lord and for me His prisoner; but rather share suffering with me in the service of the Good News, strengthened by the power of God.
9 ki te sove nou e te rele nou avèk yon apèl ki sen, pa selon zèv nou yo, men selon pwòp bi ak gras pa L, ki te bay a nou menm nan Kris Jésus depi tout letènite, (aiōnios g166)
For He saved us and called us with a holy call, not in accordance with our desserts, but in accordance with His own purpose and the free grace which He bestowed on us in Christ Jesus before the commencement of the Ages, (aiōnios g166)
10 men koulye a, ki vin revele pa aparans a Sovè nou an, Kris Jésus, ki te aboli lanmò e te pote lavi ak imòtalite nan limyè, atravè levanjil la.
but which has now been plainly revealed through the Appearing of our Saviour, Christ Jesus. He has put an end to death and has brought Life and Immortality to light through the Good News,
11 Pou li menm, mwen te chwazi kòm predikatè, apot, ak pwofesè pou ale vè etranje yo.
of which I have been appointed a preacher, Apostle and teacher, to the Gentiles.
12 Pou rezon sa a, mwen osi soufri bagay sa yo, men mwen pa wont; paske mwen konnen nan kilès mwen kwè a, e mwen konvenk ke Li kapab pwoteje sa ke m livre a Li menm nan jiska jou sa a.
That indeed is the reason why I suffer as I do. But I am not ashamed, for I know in whom my trust reposes, and I am confident that He has it in His power to keep what I have entrusted to Him safe until that day.
13 Kenbe fèm a pawòl sen ke ou tande de mwen yo, nan lafwa ak lanmou ki nan Kris Jésus a.
Provide yourself with an outline of the sound teaching which you have heard from my lips, and be true to the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.
14 Veye byen, selon lespri Sen ki demere nan nou an, trezò kite konfye a ou a.
That precious treasure which is in your charge, guard through the Holy Spirit who has His home in our hearts.
15 Ou byen okouran ke tout moun ki an Asie yo, te vire kite m, pami yo menm, Phygelle ak Hermogène.
Of this you are aware, that all the Christians in Roman Asia have deserted me: and among them Phygelus and Hermogenes.
16 Ke Senyè a bay mizerikòd a lakay Onésiphore, paske Li te souvan konsole m, e li pa t wont pou chenn mwen yo;
May the Lord show mercy to the household of Onesiphorus; for many a time he cheered me and he was not ashamed of my chain.
17 men lè li te Rome, li te chèche mwen avèk dilijans e li te jwenn mwen.
Nay, when he was here in Rome, he took great pains to inquire where I was living, and at last he found me.
18 Ke Senyè a fè li jwenn mizerikòd Senyè a nan jou sa a—e ke ou konnen trè byen tout sèvis li te rann nan Éphèse.
(The Lord grant that he may obtain mercy at His hands on that day!) And you yourself well know all the services which he rendered me in Ephesus.
