2 Timothy 2
1 You therefore, my child, be strengthened in the grace that is in Messiah Jesus.
Ou menm, pitit mwen, pran fòs kouraj nan favè nou resevwa nan lavi n'ap mennen ansanm ak Jezikri a.
2 The things which you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit the same to faithful people, who will 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.
3 You therefore must share in hardship, as a good soldier of Messiah Jesus.
Tankou yon bon sòlda Jezikri, asepte tout soufrans ki vin pou ou.
4 No soldier on duty entangles himself in the affairs of life, that he may please him who enrolled him as a soldier.
Lè yon sòlda desèvis, li pa pral chaje tèt li ak pwoblèm lavi si li vle fè chèf li plezi.
5 Also, if anyone competes in athletics, he is not crowned unless he has competed by the rules.
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.
6 The farmers who labor must be the first to get a share of the crops.
Kiltivatè ki travay di a, se li menm an premye ki pou resevwa pa l' nan rekòt la.
7 Consider what I say, for the Lord will give you understanding in all things.
Fè tèt ou travay sou sa m' ap di ou la a. Seyè a va fè ou konprann tout bagay.
8 Remember Jesus (the) Messiah, risen from the dead, a descendant of David, 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.
9 in which I suffer hardship to the point of chains as a criminal. But God's word is not chained.
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.
10 Therefore I endure all things for the chosen ones' sake, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Messiah Jesus with everlasting glory. (aiōnios g166)
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. (aiōnios g166)
11 This saying is faithful: "For if we died with him, we will also live with him.
Sa se pawòl sèten: Si nou mouri ansanm avè l', n'a viv ansanm avè l' tou.
12 If we endure, we will 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.
13 If we are faithless, he remains faithful, for 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.
14 Remind them of these things, charging them in the presence of God, not to wrangle about words, to no profit, to the subverting of those who hear.
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.
15 Do your best to present yourself approved by God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, properly handling 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.
16 But shun empty chatter, for they will proceed further in 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.
17 and their word will consume like gangrene, 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.
18 who have erred concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection is already past, and overthrowing 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.
19 However God's firm foundation stands, having this seal, "The Lord knows those who are his," and, "Let every one who names the name of the Lord depart from unrighteousness."
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.
20 Now in a large house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of clay. Some are for honor, and some for dishonor.
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.
21 If anyone therefore purges himself from these, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified, and suitable for the master's use, prepared for 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.
22 Flee from youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace with those who 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.
23 But refuse foolish and ignorant questionings, knowing that they generate strife.
Men, pa mele nan diskisyon san sans moun fou yo. Ou konnen sa toujou fini nan kont.
24 The Lord's servant must not quarrel, but be gentle towards all, able 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.
25 in gentleness correcting those who oppose him: perhaps God may give them repentance leading to a full knowledge 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.
26 and they may recover themselves out of the devil's snare, having been taken captive by him to 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.
