Jeremi 12-14
Haitian Creole Version
12 ¶ Ou menm Seyè, ou pa nan patipri. Mwen pa ka nan plede avè ou. Men, mwen ta renmen mande ou yon bagay sou sa w'ap fè a. Poukisa zafè mechan yo mache byen konsa? Poukisa tout moun malonèt yo alèz konsa?
2 Ou plante yo, yo pran rasin. Yo grandi, yo donnen. Non ou toujou nan bouch yo! Men, nan kè yo, yo pa sou bò ou.
3 Men, ou menm Seyè, ou konn ki moun mwen ye, ou wè sa m'ap fè, ou wè jan m' renmen ou. Pote mechan yo ale tankou mouton y'ap mennen labatwa! Kenbe yo la jouk lè a va rive pou yo touye yo!
4 Kilè n'a sispann wè tè a sèk? Kilè n'a sispann wè zèb nan jaden yo ap fennen? Zannimo yo ap mouri, zwezo yo ap depafini. Tou sa, akòz mechanste pèp la k'ap plede di Bondye pa wè sa n'ap fè.
5 Seyè a di: -Jeremi, si ou pèdi souf lè w'ap kouri ak moun, ki jan ou ka fè kouri ak chwal? Si kè ou pa poze lè tout bagay ap mache byen, si se lè peyi a pa an danje, ou gen kè poze, kisa w'a fè lè larivyè Jouden ap desann?
6 Ata frè ou yo, pwòp fanmi ou yo, ap trayi ou. Yo mete tèt yo ansanm ak lòt moun sou do ou. Pa fè yo konfyans, menm lè ou wè yo ap pale byen avè ou.
7 ¶ Seyè a di ankò: -Mwen lage pèp Izrayèl la, mwen voye pèp mwen te chwazi a jete, mwen lage pèp mwen te renmen anpil la nan men lènmi yo.
8 Pèp ki te rele m' pa m' lan vire do ban mwen. Tankou yon lyon nan gwo rakbwa, y'ap gwonde sou mwen. Se poutèt sa mwen pa vle wè yo ankò!
9 Pèp ki te rele m' pa m' lan tankou yon zwazo tout koulè, malfini sènen l' toupatou. Ale non! Sanble tout bèt nan bwa. Fè yo vini pran pa yo nan manje a!
10 Yon bann chèf lòt nasyon ap sakaje jaden rezen mwen an. Yo kraze jaden m' lan anba pye yo. Yo fè bèl peyi mwen an tounen yon dezè kote moun pa rete.
11 Yo fè l' tounen yon savann. Men, li la devan je m'. Li fini, san anyen ladan l'. Tout peyi a tounen yon dezè, san pesonn pa di anyen.
12 Moun soti lòt bò mòn ki nan dezè a vin piye. Paske Seyè a voye lagè pou detwi tout peyi a nèt. Pesonn pa ka viv ak kè poze.
13 Yo plante ble, yo rekòlte pikan. Yo travay di, sa pa rapòte yo anyen. Yo wont, rekòt la pa bay anyen paske Seyè a move anpil.
14 ¶ Seyè a di ankò: -Men sa Seyè a di sou move vwazen pèp li a ki leve men yo sou peyi li te bay pèp Izrayèl la pou rele l' pa l' la: Mwen pral rache yo soti nan peyi yo a, tankou pyebwa y'ap derasinen. M'a wete moun peyi Jida yo nan mitan yo.
15 Men, lè m'a fin rache yo, m'a gen pitye pou yo. M'a fè yo tounen lakay yo, nan peyi yo.
16 Si lè sa a yo aprann viv byen tankou pèp mwen, si yo pran non m' pou fè sèman sa a: Nan non Seyè ki vivan an!, menm jan yo te moutre pèp mwen an pou li fè sèman nan non Baal, enben, lè sa a yo menm tou, y'a fè pati pèp mwen an, epi zafè yo va mache byen.
17 Men, si yon nasyon pa koute m', m'ap rache l', m'ap derasinen l', m'ap detwi li nèt. Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa.
13 ¶ Seyè a pale avè m', li di m' konsa: -Al achte yon sentiwon lenn, mare l' nan ren ou. Men, piga ou tranpe l' nan dlo.
2 Se konsa m' achte yon sentiwon jan Seyè a te di m' lan. Mwen mare l' nan ren mwen.
3 Apre sa, Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
4 -Pran sentiwon lenn ou te achte a, sa ki mare nan ren ou lan, ale bò larivyè Lefrat la. W'a kache l' nan yon fant wòch.
5 Mwen leve vre, m' ale bò larivyè Lefrat la, mwen kache l' jan Seyè a te ban m' lòd la.
6 Apre yon bon ti tan, Seyè a di m' konsa: -Leve non! Tounen bò larivyè Lefrat la, al pran sentiwon mwen te ba ou lòd kache a.
7 Se konsa, m' ale bò larivyè Lefrat la, mwen chache, mwen pran sentiwon an kote m' te kache l' la. Men, li te gate, li pa t' vo anyen ankò.
8 Lè sa a, Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
9 -Men ki jan mwen pral kraze lògèy moun granpanpan peyi Jida yo, ak gwo lògèy moun lavil Jerizalèm yo.
10 Moun sa yo se move moun yo ye. Yo refize koute m' lè m' pale yo. Yo fè tèt di, yo fè tout vye lide ki vin nan tèt yo. Y' al dèyè lòt bondye, yo fè sèvis pou yo, yo adore yo. Se konsa y'ap tounen tankou sentiwon lenn lan ki pa bon pou anyen ankò.
11 Menm jan moun mare sentiwon nan ren yo, se konsa mwen te vle pou moun peyi Jida yo ansanm ak moun lavil Jerizalèm yo te mare avè m', pou yo te ka yon pèp apa pou mwen, yon non, yon lwanj, yon bèl bagay pou mwen. Men yo pa koute m'. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.
12 ¶ W'a di yo pawoli sa a: Men sa Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, di: Potich diven fèt pou mete diven ladan l'. Y'a reponn ou: Men wi, tout potich diven fèt pou mete diven ladan l'. Se bagay nou konnen.
13 Lè sa a w'a di yo: Men sa mwen menm Seyè a, mwen di: Mwen pral plen vant tout moun nan peyi a ak diven jouk yo sou, depi wa a ki chita sou fotèy David la, prèt yo, pwofèt yo, jouk dènye moun ki rete lavil Jerizalèm.
14 Apre sa, m'ap frape yo yonn ak lòt pou yo kraze, granmoun kou timoun, tout ansanm. M'ap san pitye, mwen p'ap kite yonn chape. Mwen p'ap pran priyè, m'ap touye yo tout.
15 Nou menm pèp Izrayèl, Seyè a ap pale, louvri zòrèy nou pou nou tande! Pa fè gwo kòlèt!
16 Fè lwanj Seyè a, Bondye nou an, anvan fènwa bare nou, pou pye nou pa al bite sou mòn yo lannwit la, anvan li fè limyè nou t'ap tann lan tounen yon gwo fènwa, yon dekou ki fènwa kou lank.
17 Si nou pa koute l', mwen pral kache kò m' yon kote pou m' kriye, paske nou gen twòp lògèy. Je m' pral koule dlo, yo pral ponpe dlo, paske yo pral fè pèp Seyè a prizonye, yo pral depòte yo.
18 Seyè a di m' konsa: -Pale ak wa a ansanm ak manman l'. Di yo desann soti sou fotèy yo, paske bèl kouwòn ki te sou tèt yo a tonbe atè.
19 Yo sènen tout lavil ki nan sid peyi Jida a. Pesonn pa ka pase. Yo depòte dènye moun peyi Jida yo. Yo pa kite yonn deyò.
20 Jerizalèm, leve je ou gade. Gade lènmi ou yo k'ap desann soti nan nò! Kote moun ki te sou kont ou yo, moun ki t'ap fè ou mache tèt byen wo a?
21 Kisa w'a di lè w'a wè moun ou te kwè ki te zanmi ou yo leve dèyè ou pou yo vin chèf sou ou nan peyi ou? Ou pral nan lapenn tankou yon fanm ansent ki gen tranche.
22 ¶ W'a mande tèt ou: Poukisa tout bagay sa yo ap rive ou? Se paske sa ou te fè a te grav anpil kifè yo mete ou toutouni, yo fè kadejak sou ou.
23 Moun po nwa pa ka chanje koulè po yo. Leyopa pa ka wete takte nwa ki sou kò li yo. Konsa tou, nou menm ki fin gen labitid fè sa ki mal nou pa ka fè sa byen.
24 Mwen menm, Seyè a, mwen pral gaye yo tankou pay van ap gaye nan savann.
25 Seyè a di: Men sa k'ap tann nou. Men sa mwen deside fè nou paske nou te bliye m', nou t' al mete konfyans nou nan fo bondye.
26 Se mwen menm menm ki pral leve rad nou jouk sou tèt nou, pou yo wè nou toutouni.
27 Mwen te wè n'ap fè bagay mwen rayi. Tankou yon nonm marye k'ap kouri dèyè madanm lòt moun, tankou poulen k'ap ranni dèyè jiman, nou kouri dèyè lòt bondye, n'ap rele nan pye yo. San ankenn wont, n'ap fè sèvis pou yo sou tèt ti mòn yo ak nan laplenn. Aa! moun lavil Jerizalèm, nou fini vre! Kilè n'a sispann? Kilè n'a manyè netwaye kè nou?
14 ¶ Seyè a pale ak Jeremi sou zafè chechrès la, li di l':
2 -Peyi Jida nan gwo lapenn, lavil li yo ap depafini. Tout moun kouche atè ap plenn. Nan lavil Jerizalèm moun ap rele anmwe!
3 Grannèg yo voye domestik yo al chache dlo. Lè yo rive nan sitèn yo, yo pa jwenn yon gout dlo. Yo tounen ak veso yo vid. Yo wont, yo pa konn sa pou yo di. Yo bouche figi yo.
4 Tè a fann fann. Pa gen yon gout lapli. Abitan pa konn sa pou yo fè. Se men nan tèt.
5 Nan jaden, kabrit yo met ba, lèfini, yo sove kite ti kabrit yo, paske pa gen zèb pou yo manje.
6 Bourik mawon yo rete kanpe sou tèt ti mòn yo, y'ap pran fre tankou chen mawon. Je yo bouke, yo pa wè ladan yo, paske pa gen zèb pou yo manje.
7 Pèp la ap rele nan pye Bondye, y'ap di: -Menm si sa nou fè a kont pou kondannen nou, ou menm, Seyè, fè kichòy pou sa ka sèvi yon lwanj pou ou non! Paske se pa ni de ni twa fwa nou vire do ba ou nan fè peche kont ou.
8 Ou se tout espwa pèp Izrayèl la! Se ou ki delivre nou lè malè te pandye sou tèt nou. Poukisa ou aji tankou yon etranje, tankou yon vwayajè k'ap pase yon nwit ase nan peyi nou an?
9 Poukisa w'ap fè tankou yon moun ki dekontwole, tankou yon sòlda ki pa gen kouraj pou fè anyen pou pesonn? Seyè, nou sèten ou la nan mitan nou. Se pèp ou nou ye. Tanpri, pa lage nou!
10 ¶ Men sa Seyè a di pèp la: -Wi! Yo renmen al fè vakabon, yo pa ka ret an plas. M' pa kontan ak yo. M'ap chonje tout mal yo fè, m'ap pini yo pou tout peche yo fè.
11 Apre sa, Seyè a di m' konsa: -Pa vin mande m' pou m' fè anyen pou pèp sa a.
12 Yo te mèt fè jèn, mwen p'ap tande rèl yo. Yo te mèt ofri bèt pou boule pou mwen ansanm ak grenn jaden, se pa sa k'ap fè m' kontan ak yo. Okontrè, mwen pral fè yo mouri nan lagè, nan grangou ak anba maladi.
13 Lè sa a mwen di: -Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a, ou konnen jan pwofèt yo ap plede di pèp la yo pa bezwen pè, p'ap gen lagè, grangou p'ap tonbe sou yo, paske ou te pwomèt y'ap toujou viv ak kè poze nan peyi a.
14 Men, Seyè a reponn, li di m' konsa: -Se pa vre sa pwofèt yo ap di a. Yo pran non m' pou bay manti! Se pa kras mwen menm ki voye yo. Mwen pa ba yo ankenn lòd, mwen pa janm pale ak yo. Si yo fè vizyon, se pa mwen ki ba yo l'. Si yo di yo konnen sa ki pral rive, se manti. Se lide yo fè nan tèt yo konsa pou twonpe pèp la, se sa ase yo ka louvri bouch yo di.
15 Se poutèt sa, men sa Seyè a di li pral fè pwofèt li pa t' janm voye yo men ki pran non l' pou di pèp la p'ap gen lagè ni grangou nan peyi a: Se nan lagè ak nan grangou tout pwofèt sa yo pral mouri!
16 Moun yo t'ap bay mesaj sa yo pral fini menm jan an tou. Yo pral mouri nan lagè ak nan grangou, yo menm, madanm yo, pitit gason ak pitit fi yo. Yo pral jete kadav yo nan tout lari lavil Jerizalèm. P'ap gen pesonn pou antere yo. Se konsa m'ap fè yo peye mechanste yo.
17 ¶ Men sa w'a di yo ankò: -Se pou je m' koule dlo san rete lajounen kou lannwit, paske pèp mwen an tankou yon tifi ki pran gwo frakti, l'ap soufri rèd soufri.
18 Lè m' soti al nan jaden, mwen wè kadav moun yo touye nan lagè. Lè m' antre nan lavil la, mwen wè moun ap mouri grangou! Pwofèt yo menm ansanm ak prèt yo ap mache nan tout peyi a, yo pa konn sa y'ap fè.
19 Seyè, gen lè ou voye pèp Jida a jete nèt? Eske ou rayi moun mòn Siyon yo? Poukisa ou frape nou konsa jouk nou pa ka geri a? Nou t'ap tann ou vin delivre nou, anyen pa rive. Nou t'ap tann ou vin geri nou, ou fè nou pè pi rèd.
20 Seyè, nou rekonèt nou antò. Nou rekonèt zansèt nou yo te fè sa ki mal. Wi, nou tout nou antò devan ou.
21 Chonje ki moun ou ye, pa meprize nou! Jerizalèm, se la fotèy pouvwa ou la chita. Pa avili l'. Pa bliye pwomès ou yo. Pa kase kontra ou te fè ak nou an.
22 Zidòl moun lòt nasyon yo pa vo anyen. Pa gen yonn ladan yo ki ka voye lapli. Syèl la pou kont pa l' pa ka bay lapli. Se ou menm ki Seyè a, Bondye nou an! Se ou menm ki tout espwa nou, paske se ou menm ki fè tout bagay sa yo.
Jeremiah 12-14
New International Version
Jeremiah 12-14
New International Version
Jeremiah’s Complaint
12 You are always righteous,(A) Lord,
when I bring a case(B) before you.
Yet I would speak with you about your justice:(C)
Why does the way of the wicked prosper?(D)
Why do all the faithless live at ease?
2 You have planted(E) them, and they have taken root;
they grow and bear fruit.(F)
You are always on their lips
but far from their hearts.(G)
3 Yet you know me, Lord;
you see me and test(H) my thoughts about you.
Drag them off like sheep(I) to be butchered!
Set them apart for the day of slaughter!(J)
4 How long will the land lie parched(K)
and the grass in every field be withered?(L)
Because those who live in it are wicked,
the animals and birds have perished.(M)
Moreover, the people are saying,
“He will not see what happens to us.”
God’s Answer
5 “If you have raced with men on foot
and they have worn you out,
how can you compete with horses?
If you stumble[a] in safe country,
how will you manage in the thickets(N) by[b] the Jordan?
6 Your relatives, members of your own family—
even they have betrayed you;
they have raised a loud cry against you.(O)
Do not trust them,
though they speak well of you.(P)
7 “I will forsake(Q) my house,
abandon(R) my inheritance;
I will give the one I love(S)
into the hands of her enemies.(T)
8 My inheritance has become to me
like a lion(U) in the forest.
She roars at me;
therefore I hate her.(V)
9 Has not my inheritance become to me
like a speckled bird of prey
that other birds of prey surround and attack?
Go and gather all the wild beasts;
bring them to devour.(W)
10 Many shepherds(X) will ruin my vineyard
and trample down my field;
they will turn my pleasant field
into a desolate wasteland.(Y)
11 It will be made a wasteland,(Z)
parched and desolate before me;(AA)
the whole land will be laid waste
because there is no one who cares.
12 Over all the barren heights in the desert
destroyers will swarm,
for the sword(AB) of the Lord(AC) will devour(AD)
from one end of the land to the other;(AE)
no one will be safe.(AF)
13 They will sow wheat but reap thorns;
they will wear themselves out but gain nothing.(AG)
They will bear the shame of their harvest
because of the Lord’s fierce anger.”(AH)
14 This is what the Lord says: “As for all my wicked neighbors who seize the inheritance(AI) I gave my people Israel, I will uproot(AJ) them from their lands and I will uproot(AK) the people of Judah from among them. 15 But after I uproot them, I will again have compassion(AL) and will bring(AM) each of them back to their own inheritance and their own country. 16 And if they learn(AN) well the ways of my people and swear by my name, saying, ‘As surely as the Lord lives’(AO)—even as they once taught my people to swear by Baal(AP)—then they will be established among my people.(AQ) 17 But if any nation does not listen, I will completely uproot and destroy(AR) it,” declares the Lord.
A Linen Belt
13 This is what the Lord said to me: “Go and buy a linen belt and put it around your waist, but do not let it touch water.” 2 So I bought a belt, as the Lord directed, and put it around my waist.
3 Then the word of the Lord came to me a second time:(AS) 4 “Take the belt you bought and are wearing around your waist, and go now to Perath[c](AT) and hide it there in a crevice in the rocks.” 5 So I went and hid it at Perath, as the Lord told me.(AU)
6 Many days later the Lord said to me, “Go now to Perath and get the belt I told you to hide there.” 7 So I went to Perath and dug up the belt and took it from the place where I had hidden it, but now it was ruined and completely useless.
8 Then the word of the Lord came to me: 9 “This is what the Lord says: ‘In the same way I will ruin the pride of Judah and the great pride(AV) of Jerusalem. 10 These wicked people, who refuse to listen(AW) to my words, who follow the stubbornness of their hearts(AX) and go after other gods(AY) to serve and worship them,(AZ) will be like this belt—completely useless!(BA) 11 For as a belt is bound around the waist, so I bound all the people of Israel and all the people of Judah to me,’ declares the Lord, ‘to be my people for my renown(BB) and praise and honor.(BC) But they have not listened.’(BD)
Wineskins
12 “Say to them: ‘This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Every wineskin should be filled with wine.’ And if they say to you, ‘Don’t we know that every wineskin should be filled with wine?’ 13 then tell them, ‘This is what the Lord says: I am going to fill with drunkenness(BE) all who live in this land, including the kings who sit on David’s throne, the priests, the prophets and all those living in Jerusalem. 14 I will smash them one against the other, parents and children alike, declares the Lord. I will allow no pity(BF) or mercy or compassion(BG) to keep me from destroying(BH) them.’”
Threat of Captivity
15 Hear and pay attention,
do not be arrogant,
for the Lord has spoken.(BI)
16 Give glory(BJ) to the Lord your God
before he brings the darkness,
before your feet stumble(BK)
on the darkening hills.
You hope for light,
but he will turn it to utter darkness
and change it to deep gloom.(BL)
17 If you do not listen,(BM)
I will weep in secret
because of your pride;
my eyes will weep bitterly,
overflowing with tears,(BN)
because the Lord’s flock(BO) will be taken captive.(BP)
18 Say to the king(BQ) and to the queen mother,(BR)
“Come down from your thrones,
for your glorious crowns(BS)
will fall from your heads.”
19 The cities in the Negev will be shut up,
and there will be no one to open them.
All Judah(BT) will be carried into exile,
carried completely away.
20 Look up and see
those who are coming from the north.(BU)
Where is the flock(BV) that was entrusted to you,
the sheep of which you boasted?
21 What will you say when the Lord sets over you
those you cultivated as your special allies?(BW)
Will not pain grip you
like that of a woman in labor?(BX)
22 And if you ask yourself,
“Why has this happened to me?”(BY)—
it is because of your many sins(BZ)
that your skirts have been torn off(CA)
and your body mistreated.(CB)
23 Can an Ethiopian[d] change his skin
or a leopard its spots?
Neither can you do good
who are accustomed to doing evil.(CC)
24 “I will scatter you like chaff(CD)
driven by the desert wind.(CE)
25 This is your lot,
the portion(CF) I have decreed for you,”
declares the Lord,
“because you have forgotten(CG) me
and trusted in false gods.(CH)
26 I will pull up your skirts over your face
that your shame may be seen(CI)—
27 your adulteries and lustful neighings,
your shameless prostitution!(CJ)
I have seen your detestable acts
on the hills and in the fields.(CK)
Woe to you, Jerusalem!
How long will you be unclean?”(CL)
Drought, Famine, Sword
14 This is the word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah concerning the drought:(CM)
2 “Judah mourns,(CN)
her cities languish;
they wail for the land,
and a cry goes up from Jerusalem.
3 The nobles send their servants for water;
they go to the cisterns
but find no water.(CO)
They return with their jars unfilled;
dismayed and despairing,
they cover their heads.(CP)
4 The ground is cracked
because there is no rain in the land;(CQ)
the farmers are dismayed
and cover their heads.
5 Even the doe in the field
deserts her newborn fawn
because there is no grass.(CR)
6 Wild donkeys stand on the barren heights(CS)
and pant like jackals;
their eyes fail
for lack of food.”(CT)
7 Although our sins testify(CU) against us,
do something, Lord, for the sake of your name.(CV)
For we have often rebelled;(CW)
we have sinned(CX) against you.
8 You who are the hope(CY) of Israel,
its Savior(CZ) in times of distress,(DA)
why are you like a stranger in the land,
like a traveler who stays only a night?
9 Why are you like a man taken by surprise,
like a warrior powerless to save?(DB)
You are among(DC) us, Lord,
and we bear your name;(DD)
do not forsake(DE) us!
10 This is what the Lord says about this people:
“They greatly love to wander;
they do not restrain their feet.(DF)
So the Lord does not accept(DG) them;
he will now remember(DH) their wickedness
and punish them for their sins.”(DI)
11 Then the Lord said to me, “Do not pray(DJ) for the well-being of this people. 12 Although they fast, I will not listen to their cry;(DK) though they offer burnt offerings(DL) and grain offerings,(DM) I will not accept(DN) them. Instead, I will destroy them with the sword,(DO) famine(DP) and plague.”(DQ)
13 But I said, “Alas, Sovereign Lord! The prophets(DR) keep telling them, ‘You will not see the sword or suffer famine.(DS) Indeed, I will give you lasting peace(DT) in this place.’”
14 Then the Lord said to me, “The prophets are prophesying lies(DU) in my name. I have not sent(DV) them or appointed them or spoken to them. They are prophesying to you false visions,(DW) divinations,(DX) idolatries[e] and the delusions of their own minds. 15 Therefore this is what the Lord says about the prophets who are prophesying in my name: I did not send them, yet they are saying, ‘No sword or famine will touch this land.’ Those same prophets will perish(DY) by sword and famine.(DZ) 16 And the people they are prophesying to will be thrown out into the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and sword. There will be no one to bury(EA) them, their wives, their sons and their daughters.(EB) I will pour out on them the calamity they deserve.(EC)
17 “Speak this word to them:
“‘Let my eyes overflow with tears(ED)
night and day without ceasing;
for the Virgin(EE) Daughter, my people,
has suffered a grievous wound,
a crushing blow.(EF)
18 If I go into the country,
I see those slain by the sword;
if I go into the city,
I see the ravages of famine.(EG)
Both prophet and priest
have gone to a land they know not.(EH)’”
19 Have you rejected Judah completely?(EI)
Do you despise Zion?
Why have you afflicted us
so that we cannot be healed?(EJ)
We hoped for peace
but no good has come,
for a time of healing
but there is only terror.(EK)
20 We acknowledge(EL) our wickedness, Lord,
and the guilt of our ancestors;(EM)
we have indeed sinned(EN) against you.
21 For the sake of your name(EO) do not despise us;
do not dishonor your glorious throne.(EP)
Remember your covenant(EQ) with us
and do not break it.
22 Do any of the worthless idols(ER) of the nations bring rain?(ES)
Do the skies themselves send down showers?
No, it is you, Lord our God.
Therefore our hope is in you,
for you are the one who does all this.(ET)

2 Timote 1
Haitian Creole Version
1 ¶ Mwen menm, Pòl, se Bondye ki te vle chwazi m' pou sèvi apòt Jezikri, pou fè konnen lavi li te pwomèt nou an, lavi li ban nou nan Jezikri a.
2 M'ap ekri ou, Timote, pitit mwen renmen anpil lan. Mwen mande Bondye Papa a ansanm ak Jezikri, Seyè nou an, pou yo gen pitye pou ou, pou yo ba ou benediksyon ak kè poze.
3 M'ap di Bondye mèsi, Bondye zansèt mwen yo te sèvi a. Se li menm tou m'ap sèvi ak yon konsyans pwòp. Se tout tan m'ap di l' mèsi lajounen kou lannwit, chak fwa lide m' frape sou ou lè m'ap lapriyè.
4 Mwen chonje jan ou te nan lapenn. Se pa ti anvi m' anvi wè ou pou kè m' ka kontan nèt.
5 Mwen pa janm bliye jan ou gen konfyans nan Bondye ak tout kè ou. Lòyis, grann ou, ak Enis, manman ou, te gen konfyans konsa nan li tou. Wi, mwen sèten ou gen menm konfyans sa a tou.
6 ¶ Se poutèt sa, m'ap mande ou pou kenbe kado Bondye te ba ou lè m' te mete men sou tèt ou a.
7 Paske, Lespri Bondye ban nou an pa fè nou wont moun. Okontrè, Lespri Bondye a ban nou fòs, renmen ak pouvwa pou kontwole tèt nou.
8 Ou pa bezwen wont kanpe pale pou Seyè nou an. Ou pa bezwen wont pou mwen non plis ki nan prizon pou tèt li. Okontrè, avèk fòs kouraj Bondye ap ba ou a, se pou ou asepte soufri avè m' pou bon nouvèl la.
9 Se Bondye ki delivre nou, se li menm ki rele nou pou n' ka viv pou li. Li pa t' fè sa pou nou poutèt byen nou te fè. Non, sa soti nan plan travay li menm. Se yon favè li fè nou nan Jezikri, depi lontan anvan li te kreye tout bagay.
10 Koulye a, li fè nou konnen favè sa a avèk Jezikri, Sovè nou, ki te vini an. Paske, Jezikri kraze pouvwa lanmò te genyen an. Avèk bon nouvèl la, li fè lavi ki p'ap fini nan lanmò a parèt aklè.
11 Bondye chwazi m' pou m' anonse bon nouvèl sa a, li voye m' kòm apòt pou m' moutre li bay tout moun ki pa jwif.
12 Se poutèt li tou m'ap sibi tout soufrans sa yo. Men, mwen pa wont paske mwen konnen nan ki moun mwen mete konfyans mwen. Mwen sèten li gen pouvwa pou l' konsève sa l' te ban mwen an jouk gran jou a va vini.
13 Pran egzanp sou pawòl verite mwen te ba ou yo. Kenbe fèm nan konfyans ak nan renmen nou jwenn nan Jezikri.
14 Ak lasistans Sentespri ki nan kè ou la, kenbe tout bon pawòl yo te moutre ou yo tankou yon depo ki sou kont ou.
15 ¶ Ou te pran nouvèl la, pa vre? Tout moun nan pwovens Lazi yo lage m' pou kont mwen, ata Fijèl ak Emojèn.
16 Mwen mande Seyè a pou li gen pitye pou moun lakay Onezifò yo. Paske, anpil fwa Onezifò vin konsole mwen. Li pa t' wont mwen dèske mwen te nan prizon.
17 Okontrè, lè li rive lavil Wòm, li touye tèt li chache m' jouk li jwenn mwen.
18 Se pou Seyè Jezi fè Bondye gen pitye pou li lè gran jou a va rive. Ou chonje tout sèvis li te rann mwen lavil Efèz?
2 Timothy 1
New International Version
2 Timothy 1
New International Version
1 Paul, an apostle(A) of Christ Jesus by the will of God,(B) in keeping with the promise of life that is in Christ Jesus,(C)
2 To Timothy,(D) my dear son:(E)
Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.(F)
Thanksgiving
3 I thank God,(G) whom I serve, as my ancestors did, with a clear conscience,(H) as night and day I constantly remember you in my prayers.(I) 4 Recalling your tears,(J) I long to see you,(K) so that I may be filled with joy. 5 I am reminded of your sincere faith,(L) which first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice(M) and, I am persuaded, now lives in you also.
Appeal for Loyalty to Paul and the Gospel
6 For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands.(N) 7 For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid,(O) but gives us power,(P) love and self-discipline. 8 So do not be ashamed(Q) of the testimony about our Lord or of me his prisoner.(R) Rather, join with me in suffering for the gospel,(S) by the power of God. 9 He has saved(T) us and called(U) us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done(V) but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time, 10 but it has now been revealed(W) through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus,(X) who has destroyed death(Y) and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. 11 And of this gospel(Z) I was appointed(AA) a herald and an apostle and a teacher.(AB) 12 That is why I am suffering as I am. Yet this is no cause for shame,(AC) because I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard(AD) what I have entrusted to him until that day.(AE)
13 What you heard from me,(AF) keep(AG) as the pattern(AH) of sound teaching,(AI) with faith and love in Christ Jesus.(AJ) 14 Guard(AK) the good deposit that was entrusted to you—guard it with the help of the Holy Spirit who lives in us.(AL)
Examples of Disloyalty and Loyalty
15 You know that everyone in the province of Asia(AM) has deserted me,(AN) including Phygelus and Hermogenes.
16 May the Lord show mercy to the household of Onesiphorus,(AO) because he often refreshed me and was not ashamed(AP) of my chains.(AQ) 17 On the contrary, when he was in Rome, he searched hard for me until he found me. 18 May the Lord grant that he will find mercy from the Lord on that day!(AR) You know very well in how many ways he helped me(AS) in Ephesus.(AT)
