2 Timotawus 2
1 Naki wu vre mu ti gbengblen ni Alheri wa ahei ni mi Kristi Yesu.
THOU therefore, my son, be mighty in the grace which is in Jesus Christ.
2 Kpie bi wa 'u' woh ni me, ni mi shaidu gbugbu'u 'u' ka kaba zini ndi bi suron didima, biwa ba ya da tsro bari game.
And the things which thou hast heard of me before many witnesses, these commit to faithful men, who shall be qualified to teach others also.
3 Vu suron di sha yah ni me na ndi u' taku didima u Kristi yesu.
Thou therefore endure hardships, as a brave soldier of Jesus Christ.
4 Indi 'u taku wa ahei ni bubu ku ana vu kpie loh ni kpama wa a ni you suron ni bana, dun ani son da ti kpe wa ani bi ni ndi wa ahan you ni bitaku'a.
No man who enters the army involves himself with secular affairs; that he may please the person who hath enlisted him.
5 Inde ndi wa asi vu yere ni roh, bana loh nze ni na, sei avu yere dede.
And if a man contend in the public games, he is not crowned victor, unless he contend according to the laws.
6 A mla di ndi u' ron wa a tiyah du guci ri yah ma.
The husbandman who toils is the first who ought to partake of the fruits.
7 Rhi mere nitu kpei wa me si hla, naki Bachi ni noyi ganiwa ni mi ko gey.
Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.
8 Rhi mere Yesu Kristi a rji ni grji Dauda, wa bazu rji nimi be'a. Ahi wayi hi ton du tre'a.
Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead, according to my gospel:
9 Na di misi ti yah har ba loh me ni sarka na ndi u yib, ama bana loh tre Rji na.
for which I suffer affliction, even unto chains as a malefactor; but the word of God is not bound.
10 Naki me vu suron ni kpie ba wawu'u sabo ni ndi bi wa ba hlaba du baba me kpa ceto wa ahei ni mi Kristi Yesu ni daraja u' tutrun. (aiōnios g166)
Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Jesus Christ with eternal glory. (aiōnios g166)
11 Ikpei yi hi tre u' jajima, la “inde ki kuque ni 'u', i'kita me ki sun ni' u' la.
It is a faithful saying: for if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him:
12 Inde ki vu susroun, kiyi mulki ni 'u' la “inde ki tre di kina toh na, iwawu me ni tre di wawu na toh ta game na.
if we suffer with him, we shall also reign with him: if we renounce him, he also will renounce us:
13 Inde kita ki na hei ni jaji na, wawu hei ni jaji la wawu na iya tre di wawu na toh tu ma na im.
if we are unbelieving, he abideth faithful; he cannot contradict himself.
14 Ta hla kpie bi yi ni bau' yarhan ni ba ni shishi, Rji ni tu vie u yieu; ana hei ni amfani na naki bi wa ba si woh, ana bi na. iftift ikpie bi didima baba Greek bi sen ba bla, ifqa. yarhan ni ba ni shishi Bachi ifqa if.
Put them in mind of these things, adjuring them before the Lord not to quarrel about words of no use, but tending to the perversion of the audience.
15 Ti iyakaci kokari me di jin tume ye ni Rji na wa ba kpayeim niwu na ndi 'u du wa ahei ni dalili u klu shan, wa ani tsro ba tre gyegyer.
Be diligent to present thyself before God approved, a workman that need not blush, rightly dividing the word of truth.
16 Na kpa yeim ni tre bi meme ma wa ani jin kpie wa ana bina nikon Rji.
But profane vain bablings avoid: for they will proceed to greater lengths of impiety.
17 Tre ba ani kagon na lilo tio miji. Ni nimba Hymenaeus ba Filestus.
And their discourse will eat like as a gangrene; of whom are Hymeneus and Philetus;
18 Wa ba yi' ba shishi da don tre jaji. ba tre di tashem ni be'a a riga da kle ye, ba du gbarju bi jaji grji she me.
who with respect to the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection hath been already; and pervert the faith of some.
19 Naki zi chi koh Rji krie gbagban don ahei ni hatimi “Bachi atoh bi wa ba hi bima, ndi wa ani you de Bachi, ka don kon meme'a.
Nevertheless the stable foundation of God standeth firm, having this seal, the Lord knoweth those who belong to him. And, let every man who mentions the name of the Lord depart from unrighteousness.
20 Ni ko rigar, kpie ba hei ni mi, ana kpie zinariya ba azurfa ni kagrji na ni u kukro ba meme, bari he ni daraja bari ba ni yah.
But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and pottery; and some for an honourable use, and others for baser service.
21 Inde di wa agla kpama rju ni mi raishi aminci wa hi kpie u didima ' Ba chu zi kan wa ndi u koh ni ti du ni 'u, naki bata tidu didima niu'
If therefore a man preserve himself pure from these things, he shall be a vessel for honour, sanctified and highly useful to the master, ready for every good work.
22 Ka kpie bi wa wu tatiba ni ze me you ga, di hu adalci, bangaskiya ni son ni sun si baba bi you de Bachi ni mi dri u didima.
But flee youthful passions, and pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace, with those who call upon the Lord out of a pure heart.
23 Na woh mie u bi ruru baba bi wa bana toh kpe na. U toh di ba grji senyeiu
But foolish and uninstructive disputes avoid, knowing that they produce quarrels.
24 Indi wa hi wu Bachi du na vie na. naki sei ka ti didi ni ndi wawu, wa ani ya tsro ni vu suron.
And a servant of the Lord ought not to quarrel; but to be gentle to all men, apt to teach, forbearing,
25 Ni mi tre didi ani tre bi wa basi vie. naki ko irji ni du ba tuba da toh janji.
with meekness correcting those who are opposers, if at last God may give unto them repentance so as to submit to the conviction of the truth;
26 Da chu tu ba rju nimi troko ibrji don igran Bachi avu ba ni vie ji hi ni mere Irji.
and that they may escape out of the snare of the devil, who have been captured by him for his will.
