2 Timoteyo 4
1 Pamaso pa Mulungu ndi pamaso pa Khristu Yesu, amene adzaweruza amoyo ndi akufa omwe pamene adzaonekera ndi ufumu wake, ndikukulamula kuti:
I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of His appearing and His kingdom:
2 Lalikira Mawu; khala wokonzeka pa nthawi yake, ngakhale pamene si pa nthawi yake. Konza zolakwa zawo, dzudzula ndipo limbikitsa moleza mtima kwambiri ndi malangizo osamalitsa.
Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and encourage with every form of patient instruction.
3 Pakuti idzafika nthawi imene anthu adzakana chiphunzitso choona. Mʼmalo mwake, chifukwa chokhumba kumva zowakomera zokha, adzasonkhanitsa aphunzitsi ambiri omawawuza zimene iwo akufuna kumva.
For the time will come when men will not tolerate sound doctrine, but with itching ears they will gather around themselves teachers to suit their own desires.
4 Sadzafuna kumva choona koma adzafuna kumva nthano chabe.
So they will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.
5 Koma iwe, khala tcheru nthawi zonse, pirira mʼzovuta, gwira ntchito ya mlaliki, gwira ntchito zonse za utumiki wako.
But you, be sober in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.
6 Pakuti moyo wanga wayamba kale kuthiridwa ngati nsembe, ndipo nthawi yakwana yoti ndinyamuke ulendo wanga.
For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time of my departure is at hand.
7 Ndamenya nkhondo yabwino, ndatsiriza bwino mpikisano wa liwiro ndipo ndasunga chikhulupiriro.
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
8 Tsopano mphotho yanga ikundidikira imene ndi chipewa cha chilungamo, imene Ambuye, woweruza wolungama, adzandipatsa pa tsiku lijalo, osati ine ndekha komanso onse amene akufunitsitsa kubwera kwake.
From now on there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but to all who crave His appearing.
9 Uyesetse kubwera kuno msanga.
Make every effort to come to me quickly,
10 Paja Dema anandisiya chifukwa chokonda dziko lapansi lino, ndipo anapita ku Tesalonika. Kresike anapita ku Galatiya ndipo Tito anapita ku Dalimatiya. (aiōn g165)
because Demas, in his love of this world, has deserted me and gone to Thessalonica. Crescens has gone to Galatia, and Titus to Dalmatia. (aiōn g165)
11 Ndatsala ndi Luka yekha basi. Mutenge Marko ndipo ubwere naye kuno, chifukwa amandithandiza mu utumiki wanga.
Only Luke is with me. Get Mark and bring him with you, because he is useful to me in the ministry.
12 Ndatumiza Tukiko ku Efeso.
Tychicus, however, I have sent to Ephesus.
13 Pobwera, unditengere chofunda pamwamba chimene ndinachisiya kwa Kupro ku Trowa. Unditengerenso mabuku anga, makamaka aja azikopawa.
When you come, bring the cloak that I left with Carpus at Troas, and my scrolls, especially the parchments.
14 Alekisandro, mmisiri wa zitsulo anandichitira zoyipa kwambiri. Ambuye adzamubwezera pa zimene anachita.
Alexander the coppersmith did great harm to me. The Lord will repay him according to his deeds.
15 Iwenso ukhale naye tcheru chifukwa anatsutsa kwambiri uthenga wathu.
You too should beware of him, for he has vigorously opposed our message.
16 Podziteteza koyamba pa mlandu wanga, panalibe ndi mmodzi yemwe amene anandithandiza, koma aliyense anandithawa. Mulungu awakhululukire.
At my first defense, no one stood with me, but everyone deserted me. May it not be charged against them.
17 Koma Ambuye anayima nane limodzi, ndipo anandipatsa mphamvu, kuti kudzera mwa ine, uthenga ulalikidwe kwambiri, ndikuti anthu a mitundu ina amve. Ndipo ndinalanditsidwa mʼkamwa mwa mkango.
But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, so that through me the message would be fully proclaimed, and all the Gentiles would hear it. So I was delivered from the mouth of the lion.
18 Ambuye adzandilanditsa ku chilichonse chofuna kundichita choyipa ndipo adzandisamalira bwino mpaka kundilowetsa chonse mu ufumu wake wakumwamba. Kwa Iye kukhale ulemerero mpaka muyaya. (aiōn g165)
And the Lord will rescue me from every evil action and bring me safely into His heavenly kingdom. To Him be the glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
19 Pereka moni kwa Prisila ndi Akura pamodzi ndi banja lonse la Onesiforo.
Greet Prisca and Aquila, as well as the household of Onesiphorus.
20 Erasto anatsalira ku Korinto. Trofimo ndinamusiya akudwala ku Mileto.
Erastus has remained at Corinth, and Trophimus I left sick in Miletus.
21 Uyesetse kubwera kuno nthawi yozizira isanafike. Eubulo akupereka moni, ndiponso Pude, Lino, Klaudiya ndi abale onse nawonso akupereka moni.
Make every effort to come to me before winter. Eubulus sends you greetings, as do Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brothers.
22 Ambuye akhale ndi mzimu wako. Chisomo chikhale ndi inu nonse.
The Lord be with your spirit. Grace be with you all.
