2 Timoteyo 3
1 Koma dziwa izi: Mʼmasiku otsiriza kudzafika nthawi zoopsa kwambiri.
Now understand this: In the last days there will be grievous times;
2 Anthu adzakhala odzikonda, okonda ndalama, odzitama, onyada, achipongwe, osamvera makolo awo, osayamika, wopanda chiyero.
because people will be self-lovers, money lovers, boasters, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,
3 Adzakhala wopanda chikondi, osakhululuka, osinjirira, osadziletsa, ankhanza, osakonda zabwino,
without family affection, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good,
4 opereka anzawo kwa adani awo, osaopa zoyipa, odzitukumula, okonda zowasangalatsa mʼmalo mokonda Mulungu.
betrayers, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God;
5 Adzakhala ndi maonekedwe achipembedzo koma mphamvu yake ndi kumayikana. Anthu amenewa uziwapewa.
wearing a form of godliness while having denied its power! You must avoid such people;
6 Iwowa ndi anthu aja amene amayendayenda mʼmakomo a anthu nʼkumanyenga akazi ofowoka mʼmaganizo, olemedwa ndi machimo ndiponso otengeka ndi zilakolako zoyipa zamitundumitundu,
because they are the sort that press into households and ‘capture’ gullible women loaded down with sins, who are led along by various lusts,
7 amaphunzira nthawi zonse koma samatha kuzindikira choonadi.
always learning yet never being able to come to a real knowledge of truth.
8 Monga momwe Yanesi ndi Yambere anawukira Mose, momwemonso anthu amenewa amawukira choonadi. Nzeru zawo ndi zowonongeka ndipo pa za chikhulupiriro, ndi okanidwa.
Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these oppose the truth—men of depraved mind, disqualified as regards the faith—
9 Koma sadzapita nazo patali kwambiri zimenezi, pakuti anthu onse adzaona kupusa kwawo monga anachitira Yanesi ndi Yambere.
but they will not advance any further because, as in the case of the former, their folly will become evident to all.
10 Tsono iwe, umadziwa zonse zimene ndimaphunzitsa, makhalidwe anga, cholinga changa, chikhulupiriro changa, kuleza mtima kwanga, chikondi changa, ndi kupirira kwanga,
You, however, have carefully followed my doctrine, my lifestyle, my purpose, faith, patience, love, endurance;
11 mazunzo anga, masautso anga, monga zinandichitikira ku Antiokeya, ku Ikoniya ndi ku Lusitra. Ndinazunzika kwambiri. Koma Ambuye anandipulumutsa pa zonsezi.
the persecutions and sufferings that happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra—what persecutions I endured; yet the Lord delivered me out of them all.
12 Kunena zoona, munthu aliyense amene akufuna kukhala moyo wolemekeza Mulungu mwa Khristu Yesu, adzazunzikadi,
In fact, any one who desires to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted;
13 pomwe anthu oyipa ndi onyenga adzanka nayipirayipira, kunamiza ena, iwo nʼkumanamizidwanso.
while malignant men and imposters will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.
14 Koma iwe pitiriza zimene waziphunzira ndi kuzivomereza, chifukwa ukudziwa amene anakuphunzitsa zimenezi.
But you, continue in the things you have learned and to which you were committed, knowing from whom you learned,
15 Kuyambira uli wamngʼono wakhala ukudziwa Malemba Oyera, amene akhoza kukupatsa nzeru zokupulumutsa kudzera mʼchikhulupiriro cha mwa Yesu Khristu.
and that from infancy you have known the Sacred Scriptures which are able to make you wise into salvation through the faith that is in Christ Jesus.
16 Malemba onse anawalembetsa ndi Mulungu, ndipo othandiza pophunzitsa, podzudzula, pokonza cholakwika ndi polangiza za chilungamo
All Scripture is God-breathed and is valuable for teaching, for reproving, for correcting, for training in righteousness,
17 kuti munthu wa Mulungu akonzekere bwino lomwe kugwira ntchito iliyonse yabwino.
so that the man of God may be fully competent, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
