2 Timothy 2

1 You therefore, my child, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

Timotius ana susue ngge! Yesus Kristus naa, rala maloleꞌ. Ia naa dadꞌi esa mo E ena, ma Ana o nae tao maꞌadere nggo boe. Dadꞌi ho musi simboꞌ a!

2 And the things that you have heard me say among many witnesses, entrust these to faithful men who will be qualified to teach others as well.

Feꞌesaꞌan, au unori nggo sia atahori hetar mata nara Lamatualain dꞌala masodꞌa ndoo-tetun. Dadꞌi ia naa, au oꞌe nggo, fo rena mala saa mia au e, na muu munori neu atahori fo ho bisa mumuhereꞌ ra. Atahori naa ra musi ranori rahine seluꞌ taꞌo naa neu atahori feaꞌ ra fai.

3 Join me in suffering, like a good soldier of Christ Jesus.

Basa hita ia, onaꞌ Yesus Kristus soldꞌadꞌu nara. Dadꞌi basa hita lemba doidꞌosoꞌ onaꞌ E boe. Huu ho, soldꞌadꞌu malole, musi lemba babꞌanggim boe.

4 A soldier refrains from entangling himself in civilian affairs, in order to please the one who enlisted him.

Soldꞌadꞌu mana tao ue-tataos na, nda neu mbute-mue no ue-tataos laen sa. No taꞌo naa, ana tao namahoꞌo malanggan.

5 Likewise, a competitor does not receive the crown unless he competes according to the rules.

Mete nekendandaaꞌ feaꞌ sia olaraga. Mete ma tungga nesesenggiꞌ, na, tungga olaraga atoran na. Te hokoꞌ, na, muꞌudꞌeaꞌ! Nda musenggiꞌ sa. Onaꞌ naa boe, mete ma mae mulalao Lamatuaꞌ ue-tataon, na, tungga atoran Na.

6 The hardworking farmer should be the first to partake of the crops.

Mete mana ue-rae ra boe. Ana tao-ues nda hahae aon sa sia osin rala. Dadꞌi eni etu-oru naꞌahuluꞌ osi a mbule-bꞌoan.

7 Consider what I am saying, for the Lord will give you insight into all things.

Dꞌuꞌa malolole dalaꞌ ia ra. Dei fo Lamatualain fee nggo muhine basa naa ra.

8 Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, descended from David, as proclaimed by my gospel,

Dꞌuꞌa malolole neu Yesus Kristus. Eni, mane Daud tititi-nonosin. Ana mate, te Lamatualain fee ne nasodꞌa baliꞌ. Naa dadꞌi hara-lii maloleꞌ fo au ufadꞌe sia bee-bꞌee.

9 for which I suffer to the extent of being chained like a criminal. But the word of God cannot be chained!

Huu au ufadꞌe Hara-lii Maloleꞌ naa, naa de au hambu doidꞌosoꞌ taꞌo ia. Lenaꞌ fai ara futu au no rante, onaꞌ au ia atahori deꞌulakaꞌ. Te ara nda ai rala Lamatualain Hara-lii Malolen sa.

10 For this reason I endure all things for the sake of the elect, so that they too may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory. (aiōnios g166)

De au uhehere lemba doidꞌosoꞌ mataꞌ-mataꞌ. Sadꞌi Lamatualain atahori nara fo Ana pili nalaꞌ ra, hambu masodꞌaꞌ. Te dei fo Lamatualain soꞌu nananaru se rakandooꞌ a, huu ara dadꞌi Yesus Kristus atahori nara. (aiōnios g166)

11 This is a trustworthy saying: If we died with Him, we will also live with Him;

Dedꞌea-oꞌolaꞌ ia ra memaꞌ tebꞌe: “Mete ma ata simbo tae, Kristus mate nggati hita, naa onaꞌ hita o mate hela masodꞌa mbara tara, fo, tasodꞌa to E boe.

12 if we endure, we will also reign with Him; if we deny Him, He will also deny us;

Mete ma taꞌatataaꞌ to doidꞌosoꞌ a, dei fo ata endoꞌ toꞌu parendaꞌ taꞌabꞌue to E. Te mete ma tafanii E, Ana o nafanii nggita boe.

13 if we are faithless, He remains faithful, for He cannot deny Himself.

Onaꞌ mae rala tara nda taꞌatataaꞌ tungga E sa, te Ralan naꞌatataaꞌ no nggita nakandooꞌ a, huu Ana nda bisa lelekoꞌ sa. Saa fo Ana olaꞌ, Ana tao tungga.”

14 Remind the believers of these things, charging them before God to avoid quarreling over words, which succeeds only in leading the listeners to ruin.

Fee nesenenedꞌaꞌ neu atahori mamahereꞌ ra, fo ara afiꞌ liliiꞌ basa ia ra. Ai se no Lamatualain naran, fo ara raloeꞌ rareresi dedꞌea-oꞌolaꞌ ra sosoan. Huu basa naa ra nda ma nggunaꞌ saa sa boe. Akaꞌ a tao nalutu atahori mana renaꞌ ra dudꞌuꞌa nara.

15 Make every effort to present yourself approved to God, an unashamed workman who accurately handles the word of truth.

Tao muꞌubꞌebꞌesa aom fo onaꞌ atahori mana tao-ues nandaa hambu kokoaꞌ mia Lamatualain. Atahori onaꞌ naa afiꞌ mae, huu ana tao ue-tataon no maloleꞌ. Ho musi dadꞌi atahori mana nanori Lamatualain Dedꞌea-oꞌolan no matetuꞌ. Huu dedꞌea-oꞌolan tebꞌe!

16 But avoid irreverent, empty chatter, which will only lead to more ungodliness,

Muꞌudꞌodꞌooꞌ mia dedꞌea-oꞌolaꞌ mana nda naꞌena huu-tonggoꞌ sa, ma dedꞌea-oꞌolaꞌ mana nda fee hadꞌa-hormat neu Lamatualain sa. Te naa taoꞌ a atahori boe tao deꞌulakaꞌ.

17 and the talk of such men will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus,

Dedꞌea-oꞌola deꞌulaka nara, nanoꞌi onaꞌ hedꞌi dꞌio-maneꞌ. Himeneus no Filetus oꞌola nara, onaꞌ naa!

18 who have deviated from the truth. They say that the resurrection has already occurred, and they undermine the faith of some.

Ruꞌa se ranori sala rae, basa atahori mates ra, rasodꞌa baliꞌ ena. Te nda tebꞌe sa! No taꞌo naa, ara dinggoꞌ raꞌadꞌooꞌ mia dꞌala ndoo-tetuꞌ a. Saa fo sira ranoriꞌ naa ra, tao ralutuꞌ a atahori ruma nemehere nara.

19 Nevertheless, God’s firm foundation stands, bearing this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord must turn away from iniquity.”

Te netehuuꞌ fo Lamatualain nafefelaꞌ a, nda nanggongga sa. Sia netehuuꞌ naa, nenesuraꞌ oi, “Lamatuaꞌ nahine atahori nara”, ma, “Atahori mana sendeꞌ neu Lamatualain musi raꞌadodꞌooꞌ mia deꞌulakaꞌ.” Netehuuꞌ naa, naeni, Lamatualain atahori nara.

20 A large house contains not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay. Some indeed are for honorable use, but others are for common use.

Sia atahori mamasuꞌiꞌ ra umen rala, hambu sudꞌiꞌ a saa mataꞌ-mataꞌ. Hambu ruma nenetaoꞌ mia lilo ma doi fulaꞌ. Te ruma nenetaoꞌ mia hau no rae huraꞌ. Tenu ume a maꞌahee pake sudꞌiꞌ a saa meulauꞌ ra, sia fefeta monaeꞌ. Te ana mae pake sudꞌiꞌ a saa nda meulauꞌ ra sa, sia atahori ra mata nara. Atahori o onaꞌ naa boe. Atahori mana naꞌadꞌodꞌoꞌ no deꞌulakaꞌ a, ana onaꞌ sudꞌiꞌ a saa meulauꞌ ra. Tenu umeꞌ a namahoꞌo pake e, huu ana ma nggunaꞌ fo tao-ues mataꞌ-mataꞌ no maloleꞌ.

21 So if anyone cleanses himself of what is unfit, he will be a vessel for honor: sanctified, useful to the Master, and prepared for every good work.

22 Flee from youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, together with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

Atahori soruꞌ ra tudꞌa reuꞌ ena, huu ara tungga hihii-nanau ao-sisi nara. Te, Timotius, musi munea aom malolole, fo afiꞌ tungga hihiiꞌ onaꞌ naa. Taoꞌ a maloleꞌ. Mumuhere mukundoo neu Lamatuaꞌ. Musodꞌa no susueꞌ ma mole-dꞌame mo basa atahori. Basa atahori mana ramahere neu Lamatuaꞌ, ma rasodꞌa no rala meumareꞌ, hiiꞌ a tao maloleꞌ rakandooꞌ a. Dadꞌi Timotius, ho musi musodꞌa onaꞌ se boe!

23 But reject foolish and ignorant speculation, for you know that it breeds quarreling.

Au ufadꞌe seluꞌ fai! Afiꞌ muu sordꞌodꞌodꞌo fo munggadoꞌ soꞌal dedꞌeat mana nda ma huu-tonggoꞌ sa. Te basa naa ra soa tao atahori ra ratofa-rarauꞌ.

24 And a servant of the Lord must not be quarrelsome, but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, and forbearing.

Atahori mana tao-ues fee Lamatuaꞌ, nda randaa dadꞌi mana tao nemuet sa. Ara musi malole ro basa atahori, ranori rahine atahori, raꞌatataaꞌ mbali atahori mana sangga-sanggaꞌ a nemuet.

25 He must gently reprove those who oppose him, in the hope that God may grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth.

Ara o musi ranori no malolole atahori mana labꞌan se. No taꞌo naa, se bubꞌuluꞌ, Lamatualain natetu rala nara, fo raloeꞌ, naa fo ara simbo dꞌala ndoo-tetuꞌ a.

26 Then they will come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, who has taken them captive to his will.

No taꞌo naa, dudꞌuꞌa nara manggarelo bꞌaliꞌ, ma nenemboiꞌ mia nitu ra malangga monaen, fo mana futu-paꞌa se fo tungga hihiin.
