2 Timothy 2
1 Thou therefore, my child, be strong in the grace which [is] in Christ Jesus.
Naki wu vre mu ti gbengblen ni Alheri wa ahei ni mi Kristi Yesu.
2 And the things thou hast heard of me in the presence of many witnesses, these entrust to faithful men, such as shall be competent to instruct others also.
Kpie bi wa 'u' woh ni me, ni mi shaidu gbugbu'u 'u' ka kaba zini ndi bi suron didima, biwa ba ya da tsro bari game.
3 Take thy share in suffering as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
Vu suron di sha yah ni me na ndi u' taku didima u Kristi yesu.
4 No one going as a soldier entangles himself with the affairs of life, that he may please him who has enlisted him as a soldier.
Indi 'u taku wa ahei ni bubu ku ana vu kpie loh ni kpama wa a ni you suron ni bana, dun ani son da ti kpe wa ani bi ni ndi wa ahan you ni bitaku'a.
5 And if also any one contend [in the games], he is not crowned unless he contend lawfully.
Inde ndi wa asi vu yere ni roh, bana loh nze ni na, sei avu yere dede.
6 The husbandman must labour before partaking of the fruits.
A mla di ndi u' ron wa a tiyah du guci ri yah ma.
7 Think of what I say, for the Lord will give thee understanding in all things.
Rhi mere nitu kpei wa me si hla, naki Bachi ni noyi ganiwa ni mi ko gey.
8 Remember Jesus Christ raised from among [the] dead, of [the] seed of David, according to my glad tidings,
Rhi mere Yesu Kristi a rji ni grji Dauda, wa bazu rji nimi be'a. Ahi wayi hi ton du tre'a.
9 in which I suffer even unto bonds as an evil-doer: but the word of God is not bound.
Na di misi ti yah har ba loh me ni sarka na ndi u yib, ama bana loh tre Rji na.
10 For this cause I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation which [is] in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. (aiōnios g166)
Naki me vu suron ni kpie ba wawu'u sabo ni ndi bi wa ba hlaba du baba me kpa ceto wa ahei ni mi Kristi Yesu ni daraja u' tutrun. (aiōnios g166)
11 The word [is] faithful; for if we have died together with [him], we shall also live together;
Ikpei yi hi tre u' jajima, la “inde ki kuque ni 'u', i'kita me ki sun ni' u' la.
12 if we endure, we shall also reign together; if we deny, he also will deny us;
Inde ki vu susroun, kiyi mulki ni 'u' la “inde ki tre di kina toh na, iwawu me ni tre di wawu na toh ta game na.
13 if we are unfaithful, he abides faithful, for he cannot deny himself.
Inde kita ki na hei ni jaji na, wawu hei ni jaji la wawu na iya tre di wawu na toh tu ma na im.
14 Of these things put in remembrance, testifying earnestly before the Lord not to have disputes of words, profitable for nothing, to the subversion of the hearers.
Ta hla kpie bi yi ni bau' yarhan ni ba ni shishi, Rji ni tu vie u yieu; ana hei ni amfani na naki bi wa ba si woh, ana bi na. iftift ikpie bi didima baba Greek bi sen ba bla, ifqa. yarhan ni ba ni shishi Bachi ifqa if.
15 Strive diligently to present thyself approved to God, a workman that has not to be ashamed, cutting in a straight line the word of truth.
Ti iyakaci kokari me di jin tume ye ni Rji na wa ba kpayeim niwu na ndi 'u du wa ahei ni dalili u klu shan, wa ani tsro ba tre gyegyer.
16 But profane, vain babblings shun, for they will advance to greater impiety,
Na kpa yeim ni tre bi meme ma wa ani jin kpie wa ana bina nikon Rji.
17 and their word will spread as a gangrene; of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;
Tre ba ani kagon na lilo tio miji. Ni nimba Hymenaeus ba Filestus.
18 [men] who as to the truth have gone astray, saying that the resurrection has taken place already; and overthrow the faith of some.
Wa ba yi' ba shishi da don tre jaji. ba tre di tashem ni be'a a riga da kle ye, ba du gbarju bi jaji grji she me.
19 Yet the firm foundation of God stands, having this seal, [The] Lord knows those that are his; and, Let every one who names the name of [the] Lord withdraw from iniquity.
Naki zi chi koh Rji krie gbagban don ahei ni hatimi “Bachi atoh bi wa ba hi bima, ndi wa ani you de Bachi, ka don kon meme'a.
20 But in a great house there are not only gold and silver vessels, but also wooden and earthen; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.
Ni ko rigar, kpie ba hei ni mi, ana kpie zinariya ba azurfa ni kagrji na ni u kukro ba meme, bari he ni daraja bari ba ni yah.
21 If therefore one shall have purified himself from these, [in separating himself from them], he shall be a vessel to honour, sanctified, serviceable to the Master, prepared for every good work.
Inde di wa agla kpama rju ni mi raishi aminci wa hi kpie u didima ' Ba chu zi kan wa ndi u koh ni ti du ni 'u, naki bata tidu didima niu'
22 But youthful lusts flee, and pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace, with those that call upon the Lord out of a pure heart.
Ka kpie bi wa wu tatiba ni ze me you ga, di hu adalci, bangaskiya ni son ni sun si baba bi you de Bachi ni mi dri u didima.
23 But foolish and senseless questionings avoid, knowing that they beget contentions.
Na woh mie u bi ruru baba bi wa bana toh kpe na. U toh di ba grji senyeiu
24 And a bondman of [the] Lord ought not to contend, but be gentle towards all; apt to teach; forbearing;
Indi wa hi wu Bachi du na vie na. naki sei ka ti didi ni ndi wawu, wa ani ya tsro ni vu suron.
25 in meekness setting right those who oppose, if God perhaps may sometime give them repentance to acknowledgment of [the] truth,
Ni mi tre didi ani tre bi wa basi vie. naki ko irji ni du ba tuba da toh janji.
26 and that they may awake up out of the snare of the devil, [who are] taken by him, for his will.
Da chu tu ba rju nimi troko ibrji don igran Bachi avu ba ni vie ji hi ni mere Irji.
