2 Timothy 4
1 I testify before God and Christ Jesus, who is about to judge living and dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom,
Eya ta mele gbe tem ɖe edzi na wò le Mawu kple Kristo Yesu, ame si adrɔ̃ ʋɔnu ame gbagbewo kple ame kukuwo gbe ɖeka ne eva do be yeaɖo yeƒe fiaɖuƒe la gɔme anyi la ŋkume be
2 proclaim the word; be urgent in season [and] out of season, convict, rebuke, encourage, with all longsuffering and doctrine.
nàɖe gbeƒã Mawu ƒe nya la kple vevidodo nu ɣeawo katã ɣi, ɣe sia ɣi si nàkpɔ mɔnu ko, vovo li o, vovo meli o. Fia mɔ nyuitɔwo, eye nàka mo na wò amewo ne ehiã. Do ŋusẽ wo be woawɔ nu si dze, eye nàtsɔ Mawu ƒe nya anyi wo kple dzigbɔɖi ɣe sia ɣi.
3 For the time shall be when they will not bear sound teaching; but according to their own lusts will heap up to themselves teachers, having an itching ear;
Elabena ɣeyiɣi aɖe gbɔna esime amewo magaɖo to nyateƒe la o, ke boŋ woanɔ tsatsam anɔ nufiala siwo agblɔ nya siwo woawo ŋutɔ adi be yewoase la dim.
4 and they will turn away their ear from the truth, and will have turned aside to fables.
Womaɖo to nu si nyateƒe la le fiafiam o, ke boŋ woadze woawo ŋutɔ ƒe susu tatrawo yome dzidzɔtɔe.
5 But thou, be sober in all things, bear evils, do [the] work of an evangelist, fill up the full measure of thy ministry.
Nɔ te sesĩe, eye mègavɔ̃ fukpekpe le Aƒetɔ la ta o. Kplɔ ame bubuwo vɛ na Kristo. Mègagbe nu sia nu si hiã be nàwɔ la wɔwɔ o.
6 For I am already being poured out, and the time of my release is come.
Elabena nye la, wole trɔyem ƒo ɖi xoxo abe nunovɔsa ene, eye nye ɣeyiɣi de na dzodzo.
7 I have combated the good combat, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
Meʋli ʋiʋli nyui la, mewu duɖimekeke la nu, eye melé xɔse la me ɖe asi.
8 Henceforth the crown of righteousness is laid up for me, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will render to me in that day; but not only to me, but also to all who love his appearing.
Ke azɔ la, wodzra dzɔdzɔenyenye ƒe fiakuku ɖo ɖi nam, esi Aƒetɔ, Ʋɔnudrɔ̃la dzɔdzɔe la, anam le ŋkeke ma dzi, eye menye nye ɖeka koe wòana o, ke boŋ ame siwo katã le mɔ kpɔm vevie na eƒe vava.
9 Use diligence to come to me quickly;
Do vevi be nàva gbɔnye kaba,
10 for Demas has forsaken me, having loved the present age, and is gone to Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia. (aiōn g165)
elabena Dema gblẽm ɖi hedzo yi Tesalonika, elabena elɔ̃ xexe sia me. Kresken hã dzo yi Galatia. Nenema ke Tito hã dzo yi Dalmatia. (aiōn g165)
11 Luke alone is with me. Take Mark, and bring [him] with thyself, for he is serviceable to me for ministry.
Luka koe li kplim. Di Marko, eye nàkplɔe ɖe asi vɛ, elabena ekpena ɖe ŋunye le nye subɔsubɔdɔwɔwɔ me.
12 But Tychicus I have sent to Ephesus.
Medɔ Tikiko hã ɖe Efeso.
13 The cloak which I left behind [me] in Troas at Carpus's, bring when thou comest, and the books, especially the parchments.
Ne ègbɔna la, tsɔ awu ʋlaya si megblẽ ɖe Karpo gbɔ le Troa la vɛ nam. Nenema kee nye agbalẽawo hã, vevietɔ lãgbalẽtɔwo.
14 Alexander the smith did many evil things against me. The Lord will render to him according to his works.
Aleksandro, akɔblinutula la wɔ nu vevi geɖem. Aƒetɔ la ahe to nɛ.
15 Against whom be thou also on thy guard, for he has greatly withstood our words.
Ke kpɔ nyuie le eŋu, elabena etsi tsitre ɖe nu sia nu si míegblɔ la ŋu.
16 At my first defence no man stood with me, but all deserted me. May it not be imputed to them.
Zi gbãtɔ si wohem yi ʋɔnudrɔ̃la ŋkume la, ame aɖeke menɔ afi sia akpe ɖe ŋunye o, ame sia ame si dzo. Mele mɔ kpɔm be womabu fɔ wo ɖe nu sia ta o.
17 But the Lord stood with [me], and gave me power, that through me the proclamation might be fully made, and all [those of] the nations should hear; and I was delivered out of the lion's mouth.
Ke Aƒetɔ la nɔ ŋunye, eye wòna mɔkpɔkpɔm be magblɔ mawunya dzideƒotɔe na xexea me katã. Ekpe ɖe ŋunye hã be wometsɔm na dzatawo o.
18 The Lord shall deliver me from every wicked work, and shall preserve [me] for his heavenly kingdom; to whom [be] glory for the ages of ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Ɛ̃, Aƒetɔ la aɖem ɣe sia ɣi tso vɔ̃wo katã me, eye wòakplɔm ayi eƒe dziƒofiaɖuƒe la me. Ŋutikɔkɔe woana Mawu tso mavɔ me yi mavɔ me. Amen. (aiōn g165)
19 Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the house of Onesiphorus.
Do gbe na Priskila kple Akwila kple ame siwo le Onesiforo ƒe aƒe me la nam.
20 Erastus remained in Corinth, but Trophimus I left behind in Miletus sick.
Erasto le Korinto, eye megblẽ Trofimo, ame si dze dɔ la ɖe Mileto.
21 Use diligence to come before winter. Eubulus salutes thee, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and the brethren all.
Dze agbagba nàva ɖo afi sia hafi vuvɔŋɔli naɖo. Eubulo, Pude, Lino, Klaudia kple nɔvi bubuawo katã do gbe na wò.
22 The Lord Jesus Christ [be] with your spirit. Grace [be] with you.
Aƒetɔ la nanɔ anyi kple wò gbɔgbɔ. Mawu ƒe amenuveve nanɔ anyi kpli mi katã.
