2 Timothy 2
1 Thou therefore, my child, be strong in the grace which [is] in Christ Jesus.
Nítorí náà ìwọ ọmọ mi, jẹ́ alágbára nínú oore-ọ̀fẹ́ ti ń bẹ nínú Kristi Jesu.
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.
Àwọn ohun ti ìwọ ti gbọ́ lọ́dọ̀ mi níwájú ẹlẹ́rìí púpọ̀, àwọn náà ni kí ìwọ fi lé àwọn olóòtítọ́ ènìyàn lọ́wọ́, àwọn ti yóò lè máa kọ́ àwọn ẹlòmíràn pẹ̀lú.
3 Take thy share in suffering as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
Ṣe alábápín pẹ̀lú mi nínú ìpọ́njú, bí ọmọ-ogun rere Jesu Kristi.
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.
Kò sí ẹni tí ń jagun ti ń fi ohun ayé yìí dí ara rẹ̀ lọ́wọ́, kí ó lè mú inú ẹni tí ó yàn ni ọmọ-ogun dùn.
5 And if also any one contend [in the games], he is not crowned unless he contend lawfully.
Ní ọ̀nà kan náà, bí ẹnikẹ́ni bá sì ń díje bí olùdíje, a kì í dé e ládé, bí kò ṣe bí ó bá parí rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìlànà
6 The husbandman must labour before partaking of the fruits.
Àgbẹ̀ ti ó ń ṣe làálàá ni ó yẹ láti kọ́kọ́ mu nínú àwọn èso.
7 Think of what I say, for the Lord will give thee understanding in all things.
Ronú lórí ohun ti èmi ń sọ; nítorí Olúwa yóò fún ọ lóye nínú ohun gbogbo.
8 Remember Jesus Christ raised from among [the] dead, of [the] seed of David, according to my glad tidings,
Rántí Jesu Kristi, ti ó jíǹde kúrò nínú òkú, láti inú irú-ọmọ Dafidi gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìyìnrere mi.
9 in which I suffer even unto bonds as an evil-doer: but the word of God is not bound.
Nínú èyí tí èmi ń rí ìpọ́njú títí dé inú ìdè bí arúfin; ṣùgbọ́n a kò de ọ̀rọ̀ Ọlọ́run.
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)
Nítorí náà mo ń faradà ohun gbogbo nítorí àwọn àyànfẹ́; kí àwọn náà pẹ̀lú lè ní ìgbàlà tí ń bẹ nínú Kristi Jesu pẹ̀lú ògo ayérayé. (aiōnios g166)
11 The word [is] faithful; for if we have died together with [him], we shall also live together;
Òtítọ́ ni ọ̀rọ̀ náà, bi àwa bá bá a kú, àwa yóò yè pẹ̀lú rẹ̀.
12 if we endure, we shall also reign together; if we deny, he also will deny us;
Bí àwa bá faradà, àwa ó sì bá a jẹ ọba. Bí àwa bá sẹ́ ẹ, òun náà yóò sì sẹ́ wa.
13 if we are unfaithful, he abides faithful, for he cannot deny himself.
Bí àwa kò bá gbàgbọ́, òun dúró ni olóòtítọ́, nítorí òun kò lè sẹ́ ara rẹ̀.
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.
Nǹkan wọ̀nyí ni ki ó máa rán wọn létí. Máa kìlọ̀ fún wọn níwájú Olúwa pé, ki wọn ó yẹra kúrò nínú jíjiyàn ọ̀rọ̀ tí kò léèrè, bí kò ṣe ìparun fún àwọn tí ń gbọ́.
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.
Ṣaápọn láti fi ara rẹ̀ hàn níwájú Ọlọ́run bi ẹni tí ó yege àti òṣìṣẹ́ tí kò ní láti tijú, tí ó ń pín ọ̀rọ̀ òtítọ́ bí ó ti yẹ.
16 But profane, vain babblings shun, for they will advance to greater impiety,
Yà kúrò nínú ọ̀rọ̀ asán, nítorí tiwọn máa síwájú nínú àìwà-bí-Ọlọ́run.
17 and their word will spread as a gangrene; of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;
Ọ̀rọ̀ wọn yóò sì máa fẹ́ bí egbò kíkẹ̀; nínú àwọn ẹni tí Himeneu àti Filetu wà;
18 [men] who as to the truth have gone astray, saying that the resurrection has taken place already; and overthrow the faith of some.
àwọn ẹni tí ó ti ṣìnà kúrò nínú òtítọ́, tí ń wí pé àjíǹde ti kọjá ná; tí wọ́n sì ń bi ìgbàgbọ́ àwọn mìíràn ṣubú.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n ìpìlẹ̀ Ọlọ́run tí ó dájú dúró ṣinṣin, ó ní èdìdì yìí, pé, “Olúwa mọ àwọn tí í ṣe tirẹ̀.” Àti pẹ̀lú, “Kí olúkúlùkù ẹni tí ń pé orúkọ Olúwa kúrò nínú àìṣòdodo.”
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n nínú ilé ńlá, kì í ṣe kìkì ohun èlò wúrà àti ti fàdákà nìkan ni ń bẹ, ṣùgbọ́n ti igi àti amọ̀ pẹ̀lú; àti òmíràn sí ọlá, àti òmíràn sí àìlọ́lá.
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.
Bí ẹnikẹ́ni bá wẹ ara rẹ̀ mọ́ kúrò nínú ìwọ̀nyí, òun yóò jẹ́ ohun èlò sí ọlá, tí a yà sọ́tọ̀, tí ó sì yẹ fún ìlò baálé, tí a sì ti pèsè sílẹ̀ fún iṣẹ́ rere gbogbo.
22 But youthful lusts flee, and pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace, with those that call upon the Lord out of a pure heart.
Máa sá fún ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́ èwe, sì máa lépa òdodo, ìgbàgbọ́, ìfẹ́, àlàáfíà, pẹ̀lú àwọn tí ń ké pe Olúwa láti inú ọkàn funfun wá.
23 But foolish and senseless questionings avoid, knowing that they beget contentions.
Ìbéèrè òmùgọ̀ àti aláìní ẹ̀kọ́ nínú ni kí o kọ̀, bí o ti mọ̀ pe wọn máa dá ìjà sílẹ̀.
24 And a bondman of [the] Lord ought not to contend, but be gentle towards all; apt to teach; forbearing;
Ìránṣẹ́, Olúwa kò sì gbọdọ̀ jà; bí kò ṣe kí ó jẹ́ ẹni pẹ̀lẹ́ sí ènìyàn gbogbo ẹni tí ó lè kọ́ni, àti onísùúrù.
25 in meekness setting right those who oppose, if God perhaps may sometime give them repentance to acknowledgment of [the] truth,
Ẹni tí yóò máa kọ́ àwọn alátakò pẹ̀lú ìwà tútù, ní ìrètí pé Ọlọ́run lè fún wọn ní ìrònúpìwàdà sí ìmọ̀ òtítọ́,
26 and that they may awake up out of the snare of the devil, [who are] taken by him, for his will.
wọn ó sì lè bọ́ kúrò nínú ìdẹ̀kùn èṣù, lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí ó ti mú wọn láti ṣe ìfẹ́ rẹ̀.
