I Timothy 6

Tout moun k'ap sèvi kou domestik fèt pou gen anpil respè pou mèt yo. Konsa, pesonn p'ap kapab pale non Bondye a ni verite n'ap anonse a mal.

Let as many servants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honour, that the name of God and his doctrine be not blasphemed.

Si yon domestik ap sèvi yon mèt ki kwè nan Bondye, li pa fèt pou l' manke l' respè sou pretèks se yon frè nan lafwa li ye. Okontrè, se lè sa a pou l' sèvi l' pi byen, paske moun l'ap rann sèvis la se yon moun ki kwè, se yon moun li renmen. Men sa ou gen pou moutre moun yo. Men sa pou ou preche yo.

And they that have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brethren; but rather do them service, because they are faithful and beloved, partakers of the benefit. These things teach and exhort.

Si yon moun ap moutre yon lòt doktrin ki pa dakò ak pawòl verite ki soti nan Jezikri a, ni avèk sa relijyon nou te montre nou an,

If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;

se yon moun ki gen lògèy, ki pa konn anyen. Se tankou yon maladi li genyen pou l'ap diskite tout tan, pou l'ap fè kont pou nenpòt ti mo. Se sa ki lakòz moun ap fè jalouzi, y'ap fè kont, y'ap pale moun mal, yo sispèk moun pou anyen.

He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,

Sa lakòz anpil moun ki gen lespri yo vire lanvè epi ki pa konnen verite a ap fè yon bann diskisyon ki pa janm fini. Pou yo, sèvis Bondye a tounen yon mwayen pou fè lajan.

Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.

Nan yon sans se vre. Sèvis Bondye a se yon gwo richès pou yon moun si l' kontan ak sa li genyen an.

But godliness with contentment is great gain.

Nou pa t' pote anyen lè nou te vin sou latè. Pa gen anyen nou ka pote ale non plis lè n'a kite li.

For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.

Se sak fè, si nou gen dekwa manje, si nou gen rad pou mete sou nou, sa dwe kont nou.

And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.

Men, moun ki vle vin rich, yo tonbe nan tantasyon. Yo kite yon bann move lanvi san sans pran yo nan pèlen. Se lanvi sa yo k'ap fè moun pèdi tou sa yo genyen, k'ap fini nèt ak yo.

But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.

Paske, renmen lajan fè moun fè tout kalite bagay ki mal. Gen moun ki sitèlman anvi gen lajan, yo pèdi chemen lafwa a nèt: se pa de ti soufrans ki tonbe sou yo.

For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

Men ou menm ki moun Bondye, evite tout bagay sa yo. Chache mennen yon lavi ki dwat pou ou ka sèvi Bondye nan tou sa w'ap fè, avèk konfyans, avèk renmen, avèk pasyans ak dousè.

But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

Mennen batay pou lafwa a byen. Kenbe lavi ki p'ap janm fini an fèm. Paske, se Bondye menm ki te rele ou pou ou te konnen lavi sa a, lè ou te byen pale devan yon bann temwen, pou fè konnen jan ou gen lafwa.

Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.

Devan Bondye ki bay tout bagay lavi, devan Jezikri ki te fè yon bèl deklarasyon devan Pons Pilat pou fè wè jan li gen lafwa, men sa m'ap mande ou:

I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession;

Swiv kòmandman mwen ba ou a, pa chanje anyen ladan l' pou yo pa jwenn anyen pou repwoche ou lè Jezikri, Seyè nou an, va parèt.

That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:

Lè lè a va rive, Bondye va fè nou wè l'. Se li menm ki sèl otorite, se pou li sèl nou dwe fè lwanj. Li wa tout wa, li chèf tout chèf.

Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;

Se sèl moun ki p'ap janm mouri, li rete nan yon limyè kote pesonn pa ka pwoche. Pesonn pa janm wè l', pesonn pa ka wè li. Se pou li tout onè ak tout pouvwa pou tout tan. Amèn.

Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.

Mande moun ki gen anpil byen sou latè a pou yo pa kite lògèy vire tèt yo. Piga yo mete espwa yo nan richès sa yo ki pa sèten. Se pou yo mete espwa yo nan Bondye ki ban nou tout bagay an kantite pou nou ka gen jwisans yo.

Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;

Mande yo pou yo fè anpil byen, pou yo ka rich devan Bondye. Piga yo chich. Se pou yo toujou pare pou separe sa yo genyen an ak lòt.

That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate;

Konsa, y'a anpile yon bon trezò byen solid pou pita, y'a resevwa lavi tout bon an.

Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.

Timote monchè, veye byen sou sa yo te renmèt ou a. Pa pèdi tan ou nan diskou san sans ki pa dakò ak verite a, ni nan diskisyon pou bagay anpil moun pran pou konesans.

O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:

Gen moun ki konprann yo gen konesans sa a. Ale wè atò! Se kite yo kite chemen lafwa a. Benediksyon Bondye pou ou.

Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen. The first to Timothy was written from Laodicea, which is the chiefest city of Phrygia Pacatiana.
