2 Timothy 3
1 But know this: that in the last days, grievous times will come.
Zaba kuaku ti mu bilumbu bitsuka, muela ba zithangu ziphasi.
2 For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
Bila batu bela ba buimi, bela ba bakundi ba zimbongo, bela ba luniemo, bela ba lunangu, bela ba mimvuezi mi mambu ma Nzambi, bela ba mitingu kuidi bambuta ziawu, bela zabanga ko vutula matondo, bela zabanga ko ba banlongo;
3 without natural affection, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, not lovers of good,
bela ba batu bakambulu luzolo, bakambulu kiadi, bela vunina badiawu mambu, bela zabanga ko kukiyala, bela ba batu batsita; bela ba bambeni zi mamboti.
4 traitors, headstrong, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
Bela yekulanga badiawu; bela vika fuemanga, bela kukinangikanga mu luniemo, bela luta zolanga zikhini viokila Nzambi.
5 holding a form of godliness but having denied its power. Turn away from these, also.
Bela monikanga banga bazebi kinzikanga Nzambi vayi bela tunukanga mambu momo mammonisanga zingolo zi mambu ma Nzambi. Bika wutatukila batu ba phila yoyi.
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,
Bankaka mu bawu bankotanga mu zinzo; ayi bambuilanga baketo bakambulu mayindu masikama, ayi bannatanga zitu ki masumu momo bavola ayi bammonanga tsatu yi mambu mambimbi ma phila mu phila.
7 always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
Baketo beti longukanga mu zithangu zioso vayi balendi baka bu tudila ku nzayilu yi mambu ma kiedika ko.
8 Even as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these also oppose the truth, men corrupted in mind, who concerning the faith are rejected.
Banga Yanesi ayi Yambelesi bamanga wilukila Moyize, buawu bobo batu beni bamengi wilukila kiedika; bu badi batu babivusu mu diela diawu ayi minu kiawu kizimbalanga bu kieti toto.
9 But they will proceed no further. For their folly will be evident to all men, as theirs also came to be.
Balendi kuenda ku ntuala ko bila buvungisi buawu buela monika kuidi batu boso, banga bubela batu ba buadi bobo.
10 But you followed my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, love, steadfastness,
Vayi kuidi ngeyo, wulandikini malongi mama, khadulu ama, zikhanu ziama, minu kiama; lembama kuama luzolo luama ayi mvibudulu ama.
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.
Ngeyo wumona zinzomono ziama ayi ziphasi ziama, phila zimbuidila ku Antioshe, ku Ikone, ku Lisitele. Ayi phila zinzomono mbi ndikambu mona! Vayi Pfumu wukhula mu zizioso.
12 Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.
Muaki zaba ti babo bobo batidi zinga luzingu luvedila va meso ma Nzambi, mu lusadulu lu Yesu Klisto, bela zomo.
13 But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.
Vayi batu bambimbi ayi bankua luvunu bela luta vanganga mambu mambimbi; bela vuna bankaka ayi bawu veka bavunuka.
14 But you remain in the things which you have learned and have been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them.
Vayi ngeyo, kangama mu mambu momo wulonguka ayi momo mazabikini ti madi makuikama bu zebi mutu wulonga mawu.
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.
Tona mu kimuana kiaku, ngeyo zebi Masonuku Manlongo; mawu malenda kuvana diela di kiedika mu diambu wubaka phulusu mu minu mu Klisto Yesu.
16 Every Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness,
Masonuku mamo masonimina mu lulendo lu Nzambi, madi mfunu mu longa, mu tubidila, mu ludika ayi longa mu diatila mu busonga,
17 that each person who belongs to God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
muingi mutu wu Nzambi kaba wuduka ayi kaba wukubama mu vanga mavanga moso mamboti.
