II Timothy 2

Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

Ou menm, pitit mwen, pran fòs kouraj nan favè nou resevwa nan lavi n'ap mennen ansanm ak Jezikri a.

And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.

Sa ou te tande m' di ou devan anpil temwen, se pou ou renmèt yo bay lòt moun serye ou konnen ki ka moutre lòt moun yo tou.

Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.

Tankou yon bon sòlda Jezikri, asepte tout soufrans ki vin pou ou.

No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.

Lè yon sòlda desèvis, li pa pral chaje tèt li ak pwoblèm lavi si li vle fè chèf li plezi.

And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.

Lè yon moun ap aprann kouri pou l' ka patisipe nan yon konkou, li p'ap ka genyen si li pa kouri dapre regleman konkou a.

The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits.

Kiltivatè ki travay di a, se li menm an premye ki pou resevwa pa l' nan rekòt la.

Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.

Fè tèt ou travay sou sa m' ap di ou la a. Seyè a va fè ou konprann tout bagay.

Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel:

Toujou chonje pitit pitit David la, Jezikri, ki te leve soti vivan nan lanmò, jan sa di nan bon nouvèl la.

Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound.

Se paske m'ap anonse bon nouvèl sa a kifè m'ap soufri konsa, kifè mwen nan prizon tankou yon malfektè. Men, pawòl Bondye a pa nan chenn.

Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

Se poutèt sa m'ap sipòte bagay sa yo pou sa ka tounen yon byen pou moun Bondye chwazi yo, pou yo menm tou yo ka delivre gremesi Jezikri, pou yo ka resevou a bèl pouvwa ki la pou tout tan an.

It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him:

Sa se pawòl sèten: Si nou mouri ansanm avè l', n'a viv ansanm avè l' tou.

If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:

Si nou kenbe l' fèm nan soufrans nou, n'a gouvènen ansanm avè l' tou. Si nou lage l', la lage nou tou.

If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.

Si nou pa kenbe pawòl nou, li menm l'ap toujou kenbe pawòl pa li, paske Bondye pa kapab demanti tèt li.

Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers.

Fè tout moun chonje bagay sa yo. Pran Bondye pou temwen, pale yo pou yo pa diskite sou mo. Diskisyon sa yo pa rapòte anyen. Se pèdi y'ap pèdi moun ki koute yo.

Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

Fè jefò pou ou ka resevwa lwanj nan men Bondye tankou yon travayè ki pa wont travay li fè, yon travayè ki fè konnen pawòl verite Bondye a jan l' ye a.

But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.

Evite diskou san sans ki pa dakò ak verite lafwa a, paske moun k'ap fè diskisyon sa yo se kite yo kite Bondye pi lwen chak jou.

And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;

Pawòl y'ap di yo, se tankou yon maladi k'ap manje tout kò yo. Nan moun sa yo gen Imene ak Filèt.

Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.

Yo tou de vire do bay verite a, y'ap plede fè anpil lòt moun pèdi konfyans nan Bondye. Y'ap mache di: Nou leve soti vivan nan lanmò deja.

Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

Men, pa pè. Fondasyon solid Bondye te mete a, li la toujou. Men pawòl nou jwenn make sou li: Mèt la konnen moun ki moun pa li. Tout moun ki di se pou Seyè a y'ap viv, se pou yo sispann fè sa ki mal.

But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.

Nan yon gwo kay, gen tout kalite veso: genyen ki fèt an lò osinon an lajan, genyen ki fèt an bwa osinon an tè. Gen ladan yo ki sèvi pou okazyon espesyal. Gen lòt se pou sèvis òdenè.

If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.

Si yon moun kenbe kò l' pou l' pa fè sa ki mal, y'a fè l' fè yon travay espesyal. Paske lè sa a l'ap mete tèt li apa nèt pou Mèt li, la itil Mèt la, l'ap pare pou l' fè nenpòt bagay ki byen.

Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

Pa kite lanvi ki nan kè jenn moun yo pran pye sou ou. Rete lwen yo. Men, mete tèt ou ansanm ak moun ki gen kè yo nan kondisyon pou sèvi Bondye moun k'ap rele Bondye, k'ap chache fè sa ki dwat devan l' epi k'ap chache gen konfyans, renmen ak kè poze.

But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.

Men, pa mele nan diskisyon san sans moun fou yo. Ou konnen sa toujou fini nan kont.

And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,

Yon moun k'ap sèvi Bondye pa fèt pou nan kont. Se pou l' viv byen ak tout moun, se pou l' konn ki jan yo fè enstriksyon moun, se pou l' gen pasyans.

In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;

Se pou l' korije moun ki pa dakò avè l' avèk dousè. Ou pa janm konnen: Bondye ka ba yo yon chans pou yo chanje jan y'ap viv la, pou yo vin konn verite a.

And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.

Lè konsa, y'a reprann bon sans yo, y'a chape kò yo soti nan pèlen Satan ki te mete men sou yo pou l' te fè yo fè sa l' vle.
