2 Timothy 2
1 Thou therefore, my child, be strong in the grace which [is] in Christ Jesus.
Su gwenga mwana gwangu gugangamali muuheri wa Mlungu watupanananwa kwa njira ya kuwera pamuhera na Kristu 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.
Gutoli mafundu galii gagupikaniriti panugabwera kulongolu kwa wakapitawu wavuwa, guwapanani wantu wawajimirika, walii yawavimana ntambu ya kuwafunda wamonga.
3 Take thy share in suffering as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
Gugangamali muntabiku gambira shonta mjimirika gwa Kristu 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.
Shonta pakawera mung'ondu kaliyingiziyi ndiri muvitwatira vya mashaka goseri, katendi vitwatira vya ng'ondu su kamfiriziyi mkulu gwa mashonta.
5 And if also any one contend [in the games], he is not crowned unless he contend lawfully.
Viraa vilii muntu yoseri yakatuga mbiru kaweza ndiri kukanka na kupananwa lifupu lya kukanka handa pakajimira ndiri malagaliru ga madingu.
6 The husbandman must labour before partaking of the fruits.
Yakalima mweni katenditi lihengu likamala kafiruwa kaweri gwa kwanja kwanka mabenu.
7 Think of what I say, for the Lord will give thee understanding in all things.
Guliholi aga gantakula, toziya Mtuwa hakakupanani makakala gakuvimana kila shintu.
8 Remember Jesus Christ raised from among [the] dead, of [the] seed of David, according to my glad tidings,
Gumholi Yesu Kristu yakazyukusiyitwi, yakaweriti gwa lukolu lwa Dawudi, ntambu yashilonga Shisoweru Shiwagira yanushibwera,
9 in which I suffer even unto bonds as an evil-doer: but the word of God is not bound.
hangu ntabika na ntawalilwa minyololu gambira mtenda makondola. Kumbiti Shisoweru sha Mlungu shitawika ndiri minyololu.
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)
Hangu nankuhepelera muvitwatira vyoseri toziya ya wantu wawasagulitwi na Mlungu, su womberi viraa wanki ulopoziya wawupananwa kwa njira Kristu Yesu weni kajega ukwisa wa mashaka goseri. (aiōnios g166)
11 The word [is] faithful; for if we have died together with [him], we shall also live together;
Utakula awu wanakaka, “Handa tuhowiti pamuhera na yomberi, Hatulikali viraa pamuhera nayomberi.
12 if we endure, we shall also reign together; if we deny, he also will deny us;
Patwendeleya kuhepelera, Hatukolimlima pamuhera na yomberi viraa. Handa patumlema yomberi, Na yomberi hakatulemi twenga.
13 if we are unfaithful, he abides faithful, for he cannot deny himself.
Handa patusinda kuwera wajimirika, Yomberi hakasigali mjimirika mashaka goseri, Toziya yomberi hapeni kagalambuli galii gakalonga.”
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.
Su guwaholiziyi wantu waku vitwatira avi na kuwaberiziya kulongolu kwa Mlungu waleki ndewu ya visoweru. Ukakatala awu utanga ndiri, su ujega uhalibisiya mkulu kwa walii yawapikanira.
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.
Gugangamali kulilanguziya kuwera mjimirika palongolu pa Mlungu gambira mtenda lihengu mweni yakawona ndiri soni toziya ya lihengu lyakuwi mweni yakafunda weri shisoweru sha nakaka.
16 But profane, vain babblings shun, for they will advance to greater impiety,
Gulikali kutali na visoweru vyavimfiriziya ndiri Mlungu na vya shizyigizyigi, toziya geni gongera kuwatenda wantu waweri kutali na Mlungu.
17 and their word will spread as a gangrene; of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;
Mafundu ga ntambu ayi ndo handa lilonda lyalikula kanongola na kuliya nshimba. Pakati pawu yawafunditi aga ndo Himenayu na Filetu.
18 [men] who as to the truth have gone astray, saying that the resurrection has taken place already; and overthrow the faith of some.
Womberi wapotoka nentu na unakaka, wayihalibisiya njimiru ya wantu wamonga mushashatiku pawalonga handa uzyukisiya watuhepelera utendeka kala.
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.
Kumbiti unakaka wa Mlungu uweriti ungagamala gambira libuwi lya lyanjiru, visoweru avi vilembwa panani pakuwi. “Mtuwa kawamana walii yawaweriti wakuwi,” Na “Kila muntu yakalishema handa yomberi ndo gwa Mtuwa na kaleki ukondola.”
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.
Mngati munumba nkulu, mwana mabakuli na vyombu vya kila ntambu, vyamonga vya vinyawitwi kwa mabuhi ga mpiya na zaabu vya kutendera mahengu ga gweka, vyamonga vyombu vya mitera na vyombu vya ukaka vyakutendera mahengu ga mashaka goseri.
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.
Su handa muntu pakalipunga kwa kulitula kutali na vitwatira vya ukondola woseri, hakaweri handa shitenderu sha kutendera lihengu lya gweka toziya kusyagulwa na kamfiriziya Mtuwa gwakuwi na kawera kala kwa kila lihengu liherepa.
22 But youthful lusts flee, and pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace, with those that call upon the Lord out of a pure heart.
Gukali kutali na lumatamata lya untemba, gufati yagamfiriziya Mlungu na njimiru na mafiliru na ponga pamuhera na wantu woseri yawamluwa Mtuwa kwa moyu gwaguherepa.
23 But foolish and senseless questionings avoid, knowing that they beget contentions.
Gulikali kutali na makakatala ga uzigizigi na ungali mahala, guvimana handa aga gajega ndewu.
24 And a bondman of [the] Lord ought not to contend, but be gentle towards all; apt to teach; forbearing;
Su ntumintumi gwa Mtuwa nakalirewa. Kafiruwa kaweri mnanaga kwa wantu woseri, na Mfunda kaherepa na mhepelera.
25 in meekness setting right those who oppose, if God perhaps may sometime give them repentance to acknowledgment of [the] truth,
Mweni ndo mnanaga pakawaberiziya wasingani wakuwi, toziya Mlungu mekawapanani lupenyu lya kuleka vidoda vyawu, na kuumana unakaka,
26 and that they may awake up out of the snare of the devil, [who are] taken by him, for his will.
kwa njira ayi kaweza kuvimana kulipota mumgomuziwu gwa mkondola gwakawagomuziyiti na kutenda wagajimiri mafiliru gakuwi.
