< 2 Timothy 3 >
1 But know this: that in the last days, grievous times will come.
Ma mara nke a, na nʼoge dị oke egwu ga-adị mgbe ikpeazụ.
2 For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
Nʼihi na ndị mmadụ ga-abụ ndị na-ahụ naanị onwe ha nʼanya, na ndị na-ahụ ego nʼanya. Ha ga-abụ ndị mpako, na ndị na-anya isi, ndị na-ekwujọ ibe ha, ndị na-adịghị asọpụrụ ndị mụrụ ha, maọbụ ikele ha ekele, na ndị na-adịghị ọcha nʼobi ha.
3 without natural affection, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, not lovers of good,
Ndị na-enweghị ịhụnanya nʼobi ha, ndị na-enweghị obi mgbaghara, ndị na-agba asịrị, ndị na-emebiga ihe ọjọọ oke, ndị na-eme dị ka anụ ọhịa, na ndị ihe ọma na-adịghị atọ ụtọ.
4 traitors, headstrong, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
Ndị na-arara ibe ha nye nʼaka ndị iro ha, ndị isiike, ndị onwe ha juru afọ; ndị na-ahụ ihe ụtọ nke ụwa a nʼanya, kama ịhụ Chineke nʼanya.
5 holding a form of godliness but having denied its power. Turn away from these, also.
Ha bụ ndị na-ebi ndụ ndị nke Chineke ma ha adịghị egosipụta ike dị na ndụ ahụ. Zere onwe gị nʼebe ndị dị otu a nọ.
6 For some of these are people who creep into houses and take captive gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts,
Ụfọdụ nʼime ha bụ ndị na-abanye nʼime ụlọ ndị mmadụ na-eduhiekwa ụmụ nwanyị na-enweghị uche, ndị ibu mmehie ha na-anyịgbu, na ndị a pụrụ iduhie nʼihi ọtụtụ ihe ọjọọ na-agụ mkpụrụobi ha agụụ.
7 always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
Ndị a na-akụziri ihe oge niile, ma ha apụghị inweta amamihe nke eziokwu.
8 Even as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these also oppose the truth, men corrupted in mind, who concerning the faith are rejected.
Dị ka Jenas na Jembaras si lụso Mosis ọgụ, otu a ka ndị a na-alụsokwa eziokwu ahụ ọgụ. Ha bụ ndị nwere obi rụrụ arụ, na ndị ndụ ha mere ka ha bụrụ ndị a jụrụ ajụ nʼebe okwukwe anyị dị.
9 But they will proceed no further. For their folly will be evident to all men, as theirs also came to be.
Ma ha agaghị aga nʼihu nʼihi na nzuzu ha ga-apụta ihe nʼihu mmadụ niile, dịka nke mmadụ abụọ ahụ.
10 But you followed my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, love, steadfastness,
Ma ugbu a, ị maara ihe niile banyere ozizi m, na omume m, na ebumnuche m, na okwukwe m na ntachiobi m, na ịhụnanya m, na ndidi m,
11 persecutions, and sufferings—those things that happened to me at Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. I endured those persecutions. The Lord delivered me out of them all.
na mkpagbu m na ahụhụ niile nke dakwasịrị m nʼAntiọk, na Aikoniọm, na Listra. Ị maara ụdị mkpagbu dị iche iche m gabigara. Ma Onyenwe anyị napụtara m site nʼime ha niile.
12 Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.
Nʼezie, ndị niile chọrọ ibi ndụ ịsọpụrụ Chineke nʼime Kraịst Jisọs ga-agabiga mkpagbu.
13 But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.
Ma ndị mmadụ ọjọọ na ndị na-ebi ndụ aghụghọ ga-ajọ njọ karịa ka ha dị. Ha ga-eduhie ndị ọzọ, ma bụrụkwa ndị a ga-eduhie.
14 But you remain in the things which you have learned and have been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them.
Ma gị onwe gị, nọgidesie ike nʼihe ịmụtara na ihe i kwenyesịrị ike na ya, ebe ị maara onye i si nʼaka ya mụta ha.
15 From infancy, you have known the holy Scriptures which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
Ị maara na ọ bụ site nʼoge ị bụ nwantakịrị ka ihe e dere nʼakwụkwọ nsọ jiri doo gị anya, nke nwere ike ikuziri gị maka nzọpụta site nʼokwukwe i nwere nʼime Kraịst Jisọs.
16 Every Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness,
Ihe niile dị nʼakwụkwọ nsọ bụ ihe si nʼuche Chineke pụta. Ha bara uru maka izi anyị ihe, igosi erughị eru anyị, ịtụziri anyị aka nʼụzọ dị mma, na ịzụ anyị nʼụzọ ezi omume:
17 that each person who belongs to God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
ka onye nke Chineke zuo oke, dịkwa njikere maka ịrụ ezi ọrụ niile ọbụla.
