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,
Mme jalo ke go kgothatsa ka tlhwaafalo fa pele ga Modimo le fa pele ga ga Jesu Keresete yo e tlaa reng letsatsi lengwe a bo a atlhola batshedi le baswi fa a tla go tlhoma bogosi jwa gagwe,
2 proclaim the word; be urgent in season [and] out of season, convict, rebuke, encourage, with all longsuffering and doctrine.
go rera Lefoko la Modimo ka tlhwaafalo ka nako tsotlhe, go le lobaka le go se lobaka, fa go siame le go sa siama. Siamisa o bo o kgalemele batho ba gago fa ba tlhoka kgalemelo, ba kgothatse go dira tshiamo, mme ka nako tsotlhe o ba otla ka Lefoko la Modimo ka bopelotelele.
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;
Gonne go tlaa tla lobaka lo batho ba se kitlang ba reetsa boammaaruri, mme ba tlaa tsamaya ba batla baruti ba ba tlaa ba bolelelang fela se ba batlang go se utlwa.
4 and they will turn away their ear from the truth, and will have turned aside to fables.
Ga ba kitla ba reetsa se Baebele e se buang mme ba tlaa latela megopolo ya bone e e foufetseng.
5 But thou, be sober in all things, bear evils, do [the] work of an evangelist, fill up the full measure of thy ministry.
Ema o tsepame, mme o se ka wa tshaba go bogela Morena. Tlisa ba bangwe kwa go Keresete. O se ka wa tlogela sepe se sa dirwa se o tshwanetseng go se dira.
6 For I am already being poured out, and the time of my release is come.
Ke bua se ka gore ke tlaa bo ke seyo go go thusa ka lobaka lo loleele. Lobaka lwa me lo setse lo fitlhile. E tlaa re ka bonako ke bo ke le mo tseleng ya me go ya legodimong.
7 I have combated the good combat, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
Ga ke bolo go tlhabanela Morena thata ka lobaka lo loleele, mme mo go tsone tsotlhe ke ntse ke le boammaaruri mo go ene. Mme jaanong lobaka lo fitlhile lwa gore ke khutlise ntwa ke itapolose.
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.
Kwa legodimong serwalo se nkemetse se Morena, moatlhodi wa tshiamo, o tlaa se nnayang ka letsatsi le legolo la go bowa ga gagwe. Mme e seng nna fela, e leng botlhe ba matshelo a bone a supang gore ba lebeletse ka tlhwaafalo go tla ga gagwe gape.
9 Use diligence to come to me quickly;
Tswee-tswee tla ka bonako le ka bofefo jo o ka bo kgonang,
10 for Demas has forsaken me, having loved the present age, and is gone to Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia. (aiōn g165)
gonne Demase o ntlogetse. O ratile dilo tse dintle tsa lefatshe leno o ile Theselonika. Keresenese o ile Galalea, Tito o ile Dalamatia. (aiōn g165)
11 Luke alone is with me. Take Mark, and bring [him] with thyself, for he is serviceable to me for ministry.
Ke Luke fela yo o nang le nna. Tla le Mareko fa o tla, gonne ke a mo tlhoka.
12 But Tychicus I have sent to Ephesus.
(Tukiko le ene o tsamaile, ke mo rometse kwa Efeso)
13 The cloak which I left behind [me] in Troas at Carpus's, bring when thou comest, and the books, especially the parchments.
E re fa o tla, o se ka wa lebala go ntlela kobo e ke e tlogetseng kwa Teroase mo go mokaulengwe Karepo, le dikwalo, mme bogolo, thata tsa matlalo.
14 Alexander the smith did many evil things against me. The Lord will render to him according to his works.
Alekesanta mothudi wa kgotlho o nkutlwisitse botlhoko thata. Morena o tlaa mo otlhaya,
15 Against whom be thou also on thy guard, for he has greatly withstood our words.
mme o mo tshabe, gonne o tlhabana le sengwe le sengwe se re se boletseng.
16 At my first defence no man stood with me, but all deserted me. May it not be imputed to them.
Erile lwa ntlha fa ke tlisiwa fa pele ga moatlhodi go ne go sena ope fano go nthusa, Mongwe le mongwe o ne a siile. Ke solofela gore ga ba kitla ba bewa molato kaga gone.
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.
Mme Morena o ne a ema le nna, a nnaya lobaka lwa go rera thero yotlhe ke sena poifo gore lefatshe le utlwe. Mme o ne a mpoloka gore ke se latlhelwe mo ditaung.
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)
Ee, Morena o tlaa nna a nkgolola ka nako tsotlhe mo bosuleng jotlhe mme o tlaa ntlisa mo bogosing jwa gagwe jwa selegodimo. A kgalalelo e nne go Modimo ka metlha le metlha. Amen. (aiōn g165)
19 Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the house of Onesiphorus.
Tswee-tswee “ntumedisetsa” Peresila le Akwila le ba ba nnang le Onesiforo.
20 Erastus remained in Corinth, but Trophimus I left behind in Miletus sick.
Eraseto o fetile a sala kwa Korintha, mme ke tlogetse Terofimose a lwala kwa Mileto.
21 Use diligence to come before winter. Eubulus salutes thee, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and the brethren all.
Leka gore o bo o le kwano pele ga mariga. Eubulo o a go dumedisa le Padense, le Lino, le Kalaudia le ba bangwe botlhe.
22 The Lord Jesus Christ [be] with your spirit. Grace [be] with you.
A Morena Jesu Keresete a nne le mowa wa gago. Sala sentle, ke le, Paulo.
