I Timothy 1

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope;

Mwen menm, Pòl, yon apòt Jezikri dapre volonte Bondye, Sovè nou, ansanm ak Jezikri ki tout espwa nou,

Unto Timothy, my own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.

m'ap ekri ou, Timote, pitit lejitim mwen nan konfyans mwen gen nan Bondye. M'ap mande Bondye, Papa a, ak Jezikri, Seyè nou an, pou yo gen pitye pou ou, pou yo ba ou benediksyon ak kè poze.

As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine,

Se pou ou rete nan lavil Efèz, jan m' te mande ou la lè mwen t'ap pati pou peyi Masedwan. Paske, gen kèk moun nan lavil Efèz la k'ap moutre lòt yo yon bann lòt bagay ki pa vre. Se pou ou ba yo lòd sispann fè sa y'ap fè a.

Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.

Di yo wete lide yo sou vye istwa san fondman sa yo, sou lis non gran granparan moun ki byen long. Bagay sa yo lakòz moun fè yon bann diskisyon initil. Yo p'ap sèvi plan travay Bondye a, jan nou konnen l', gremesi lafwa a.

Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:

W'ap ba yo lòd sa a, pou yo ka rive gen renmen ki soti nan yon kè ki nan kondisyon pou sèvi Bondye, nan yon konsyans trankil ak yon konfyans sensè nan Bondye.

From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling;

Gen ladan yo ki pèdi chemen yo, yo lage kò yo nan yon bann diskisyon san sans.

Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.

Yo ta renmen pase pou moun k'ap moutre lalwa Bondye a. Men, yo pa konprann anyen ni nan sa y'ap di a, ni nan keksyon y'ap defann lan.

But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;

Nou konnen lalwa se yon bagay ki bon depi ou sèvi avè l' jan ou dwe sèvi avè l' la.

Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,

Se pou nou chonje tou yo pa mete lalwa pou moun k'ap aji byen. Lalwa a se pou malveyan yo, pou moun k'ap fè rebèl, pou mechan yo, pou moun k'ap fè peche, pou moun ki pa gen respè ni pou Bondye ni pou larelijyon, pou moun k'ap touye manman yo ak papa yo, pou ansasen,

For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;

pou moun k'ap fè imoralite, pou moun ki gen vye mès gason ak gason, fanm ak fanm, pou moun k'ap vann esklav, pou moun k'ap bay manti, k'ap fè sèman pou twonpe moun. Lalwa a se pou tout moun k'ap fè tout kalite bagay ki pa dakò ak verite yo moutre nou an.

According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.

Verite sa a, nou jwenn li nan bèl mesaj Bondye te mete m' reskonsab pou anonse a. Se bon nouvèl ki pale nou sou Bondye ki merite nou fè lwanj pou li a.

And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;

M'ap di Jezikri, Seyè nou an, mèsi dèske li ban m' fòs kouraj pou m' fè travay mwen. M'ap di l' mèsi dèske li te konsidere m' anpil pou l' te fè m' tout konfyans sa a, pou l' te chwazi m' pou sèvis li,

Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.

atout nan tan lontan mwen te konn pale l' mal, mwen te pèsekite l', mwen te joure li. Men, se Bondye menm ki te gen pitye pou mwen, paske lè sa a mwen pa t' gen konfyans nan li. Konsa, mwen pa t' konnen sa m' t'ap fè.

And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

Jezikri, Seyè nou, fè m' anpil favè: li fè m' gen konfyans ak renmen nou jwenn lè n'ap viv ansanm nan Kris la.

This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.

Sa se yon pawòl ki vre, pawòl tout moun te dwe kwè: Jezikri te vini sou latè pou delivre moun k'ap fè peche. Mwen menm, mwen pi mal pase yo tout.

Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.

Men, se poutèt sa Bondye te gen pitye pou mwen. Mwen menm ki te pi mal pase yo tout, se pou mwen Jezikri te moutre jan l' ka gen pasyans. Konsa, mwen tounen yon egzanp pou tout moun ki pita va gen pou mete konfyans yo nan li, pou yo ka resevwa lavi ki p'ap janm fini an.

Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Se poutèt sa, ann chante, ann fè lwanj pou li pou tout tan, li menm ki sèl Bondye nou pa ka wè a, Wa ki la pou tout tan an epi ki p'ap janm mouri a. Amèn.

This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare;

Timote, pitit mwen, m'ap renmèt ou kòmandman sa a, dapre pawòl pwofèt Bondye yo te di sou ou nan tan lontan an. Pran fòs sou pawòl sa yo pou ou ka mennen batay la byen.

Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck:

Kenbe konfyans ou fèm nan Bondye ak konsyans ou an repo. Gen moun ki refize koute konsyans yo. Se konsa yo pèdi konfyans yo.

Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.

Nan yo gen Imene ak Aleksann. Mwen lage tou de nan men Satan pou yo aprann pa pale mal sou Bondye.
