2 Timothy 2
1 So then, my child, be strong in the grace which is in Christ Jesus.
Naizvozvo iwe, mwana wangu, simba munyasha dziri muna Kristu Jesu.
2 And the things which I have said to you before a number of witnesses, give to those of the faith, so that they may be teachers of others.
Nezvinhu zvawakanzwa kwandiri pakati pezvapupu zvizhinji, uzvikumikidze izvozvo kuvanhu vakatendeka vachagonawo kudzidzisa vamwe.
3 Be ready to do without the comforts of life, as one of the army of Christ Jesus.
Naizvozvo iwe utambudzike zvakaoma, semurwi wakanaka waJesu Kristu.
4 A fighting man, when he is with the army, keeps himself free from the business of this life so that he may be pleasing to him who has taken him into his army.
Hakuna munhu anobata semurwi anozvipinganidza nezviitiko zveupenyu, kuti afadze uyo wakamupinza basa.
5 And if a man takes part in a competition he does not get the crown if he has not kept the rules.
Uye kana munhuwo achikwikwidza, haashongedzwi korona kana asina kukwikwidza zviri pamurairo.
6 It is right for the worker in the fields to be the first to take of the fruit.
Murimi anobata zvakasimba anofanira kutanga kugamuchira zvibereko.
7 Give thought to what I say; for the Lord will give you wisdom in all things.
Fungisisa zvandinoreva; uye Ishe ngaakupe kunzwisisa pazvinhu zvese.
8 Keep in mind Jesus Christ, of the seed of David, who came back from the dead, as my good news gives witness:
Rangarira Jesu Kristu wakamutswa kubva kuvakafa, wembeu yaDhavhidhi, zvichienderana neevhangeri yangu;
9 In which I put up with the hardest conditions, even prison chains, like one who has done a crime; but the word of God is not in chains.
yandinotambudzika mairi zvakaipa, kusvikira pazvisungo, semuiti wezvakaipa; asi shoko raMwari harina kusungwa.
10 But I undergo all things for the saints, so that they may have salvation in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. (aiōnios g166)
Saka ndinotsungirira zvinhu zvese nekuda kwevakasanangurwa, kuti naivo vawane ruponeso rwuri muna Kristu Jesu, pamwe nekubwinya kusingaperi. (aiōnios g166)
11 This is a true saying: If we undergo death with him, then will we be living with him:
Shoko iri rakatendeka; nokuti kana takafa pamwe naye, tichararamawo pamwe naye.
12 If we go on to the end, then we will be ruling with him: if we say we have no knowledge of him, then he will say he has no knowledge of us:
Kana tikatsungirira, tichatongawo pamwe naye; kana tikamuramba, naiye achatiramba.
13 If we are without faith, still he keeps faith, for he will never be untrue to himself.
Kana tisingatendeki, iye anoramba akatendeka; iye haagoni kuzviramba.
14 Put these things before them, giving them orders in the name of the Lord to keep themselves from fighting about words, which is of no profit, only causing error in their hearers.
Uvarangaridze zvinhu izvi, uchirairisa pamberi paIshe kusapikisa pamashoko kusingabatsiri chinhu asi kutsausa vanonzwa.
15 Let it be your care to get the approval of God, as a workman who has no cause for shame, giving the true word in the right way.
Shingaira kuti uzviratidze kuna Mwari uri wakatendeka, mushandi asingafaniri kunyadziswa, anonyatsoruramisa shoko rechokwadi.
16 But take no part in wrong and foolish talk, for those who do so will go farther into evil,
Asi nzvenga kutaura kwetsvina kusina maturo; nokuti vacharamba vachingonyanya pakusatya Mwari,
17 And their words will be like poisoned wounds in the flesh: such are Hymenaeus and Philetus;
neshoko ravo richanyenga segomarara; pakati pavo pana Himenayosi naFiretosi;
18 Men whose ideas are all false, who say that the coming back from the dead has even now taken place, overturning the faith of some.
ivo vakatsauka pachokwadi, vachiti kumuka kwatovapo, vachipidigura rutendo rwevamwe.
19 But God's strong base is unchanging, having this sign, The Lord has knowledge of those who are his: and, Let everyone by whom the name of the Lord is named be turned away from evil.
Kunyange zvakadaro nheyo yaMwari inomira yakasimba, ine mucherechedzo uyu: Ishe anoziva vari vake, uye kuti: Umwe neumwe anoreva zita raKristu ngaabve pakusarurama.
20 Now in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but others of wood and earth, and some which are honoured and some without honour.
Asi muimba huru hamuna midziyo yegoridhe neyesirivheri chete, asiwo yematanda neyevhu, uye imwe ndeyekukudzwa asi imwe ndeyekusakudzwa.
21 If a man makes himself clean from these, he will be a vessel for honour, made holy, ready for the master's use, ready for every good work.
Naizvozvo kana munhu achizvinatsa pazvinhu izvi, achava mudziyo wekukudzwa, wakaitwa mutsvene, wakakwanira basa raTenzi, wakagadzirirwa basa rese rakanaka.
22 But keep yourself from those desires of the flesh which are strong when the body is young, and go after righteousness, faith, love, peace, with those whose prayers go up to the Lord from a clean heart.
Tizawo kuchiva kweudiki, asi uteverere kururama, rutendo, rudo, rugare, pamwe nevanodana kuna Ishe zvichibva pamoyo wakachena.
23 And put away foolish and uncontrolled questionings, seeing that they are a cause of trouble.
Asi mibvunzo yeupenzi neyekusadzidza urambe, uchiziva kuti zvinomutsa kurwa.
24 For it is not right for the Lord's servant to make trouble, but he is to be gentle to all, ready in teaching, putting up with wrong,
Zvino muranda waIshe haafaniri kurwa, asi ave munyoro kune vese, anoziva kudzidzisa, ane moyo murefu,
25 Gently guiding those who go against the teaching; if by chance God may give them a change of heart and true knowledge,
anoraira neunyoro avo vanozvipikisa, kuti zvimwe Mwari avape kutendeukira kuruzivo rwechokwadi,
26 And so they may get themselves free from the net of the Evil One, being made the prisoners of the Lord's servant, for the purpose of God.
uye vapengenuke kubva pamusungo wadhiabhorosi, wavakange vakabatwa naye pakuda kwake.
