2 Timoteyo 2
1 Tsono iwe, mwana wanga, limbika mʼchisomo chimene chili mwa Khristu Yesu.
You therefore, my child, be strengthened in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
2 Ndipo zinthu zimene unamva ine ndikuziyankhula pamaso pa mboni zambiri, uziphunzitse kwa anthu odalirika amene akaphunzitsenso ena.
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.
3 Umve nane zowawa, monga msilikali wa Khristu Yesu.
You therefore must share in hardship, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
4 Palibe msilikali amene ali pa ntchito amagwiranso ntchito za anthu wamba, iye amafuna kukondweretsa bwana wolamulira.
No soldier on duty entangles himself in the affairs of life, that he may please him who enrolled him as a soldier.
5 Chimodzimodzinso, munthu amene ali pa mpikisano waliwiro, salandira mphotho ya wopambana pokhapokha atatsiriza monga mwa malamulo a mpikisanowo.
Also, if anyone competes in athletics, he is not crowned unless he has competed by the rules.
6 Mlimi wolimbika ndi amene amayembekezereka kukhala woyambirira kulandira gawo la zokolola.
The farmers who labor must be the first to get a share of the crops.
7 Lingalira zimene ndikunenazi, pakuti Ambuye adzakuzindikiritsa zonsezi.
Consider what I say, for the Lord will give you understanding in all things.
8 Kumbukira Yesu Khristu wochokera ku mtundu wa Davide kuti anauka kwa akufa. Uwu ndiye uthenga wanga wabwino
Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, a descendant of David, according to my Good News,
9 umene ndikuwuvutikira choterewu mpaka kumangidwa ndi maunyolo ngati wakuba. Koma mawu a Mulungu sanamangidwe ndi maunyolo.
in which I suffer hardship to the point of chains as a criminal. But God's word is not chained.
10 Choncho ndikupirira chilichonse chifukwa cha osankhidwa, kuti nawonso apulumutsidwe ndi Khristu Yesu ndi kulandira ulemerero wosatha. (aiōnios g166)
Therefore I endure all things for the chosen ones' sake, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with everlasting glory. (aiōnios g166)
11 Mawu oyenera kuwadalira ndi awa: Ngati ife tinafa naye pamodzi, tidzakhalanso moyo pamodzi naye.
This saying is faithful: "For if we died with him, we will also live with him.
12 Ngati tinapirira, tidzalamuliranso naye pamodzi. Ngati ife timukana, Iye adzatikananso.
If we endure, we will also reign with him. If we deny him, he also will deny us.
13 Ngati ndife osakhulupirika, Iye adzakhalabe wokhulupirika popeza sangathe kudzikana.
If we are faithless, he remains faithful, for he cannot deny himself."
14 Uziwakumbutsa anthu a Mulungu zinthu izi. Uwachenjeze pamaso pa Mulungu kuti asamakangane pa za mawu. Zimenezi nʼzopanda phindu ndipo zimangowononga amene akumvawo.
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.
15 Uyesetse kukhala wovomerezeka pamaso pa Mulungu monga wantchito wopanda chifukwa chochitira manyazi amene amalalikira mawu achoonadi molondola.
Do your best to present yourself approved by God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, properly handling the word of truth.
16 Upewe nkhani zopanda pake, zosalemekeza Mulungu, chifukwa anthu oyankhula zotere amanka napotokerapotokera.
But shun empty chatter, for they will proceed further in ungodliness,
17 Chiphunzitso chawo chidzafalikira ngati chilonda. Mwa anthuwa muli Humenayo ndi Fileto.
and their word will consume like gangrene, of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;
18 Iwowa apatuka pa choonadi. Iwo amaphunzitsa kuti kuuka kwa akufa kunachitika kale, motero amawononga chikhulupiriro cha anthu ena.
who have erred concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection is already past, and overthrowing the faith of some.
19 Komabe maziko olimba, amene Mulungu anawayika ngokhazikika, ndipo mawu olembedwapo ndi awa: “Yehova amadziwa amene ndi ake,” ndiponso, “Aliyense amene amavomereza dzina la Ambuye ayenera kusiya zoyipa.”
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."
20 Mʼnyumba yayikulu simukhala ziwiya zagolide ndi zasiliva zokha, koma mumakhalanso zamtengo ndi zadothi. Zina zimakhala za ntchito yapamwamba, zina za ntchito wamba.
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.
21 Munthu akadziyeretsa nʼkusiya ntchito za wambazi, adzakhala chiwiya cha ntchito yapamwamba, woyeretsedwa, ndi waphindu kwa Ambuye wake, wokonzeka kugwira ntchito iliyonse yabwino.
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.
22 Thawa zilakolako zoyipa zachinyamata. Funafuna chilungamo, chikhulupiriro, chikondi ndi mtendere pamodzi ndi amene akuyitanira pa dzina la Ambuye ndi mtima osadetsedwa.
Flee from youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
23 Ukane matsutsano oyipa ndi opusa, chifukwa amayambitsa mikangano.
But refuse foolish and ignorant questionings, knowing that they generate strife.
24 Ndiponso mtumiki wa Ambuye asamakangane ndi anthu, koma azikhala wachifundo kwa aliyense, wodziwa kuphunzitsa, osati wokalipakalipa.
The Lord's servant must not quarrel, but be gentle towards all, able to teach, patient,
25 Otsutsana naye awalangize mofatsa, mwina Mulungu adzawapatsa mwayi woti asinthike ndi kuzindikira choonadi.
in gentleness correcting those who oppose him: perhaps God may give them repentance leading to a full knowledge of the truth,
26 Motero nzeru zawo zidzabweramo, ndipo adzathawa msampha wa mdierekezi, amene anawagwira ukapolo kuti azichita zofuna zake.
and they may recover themselves out of the devil's snare, having been taken captive by him to his will.
