2 Timothy 3
1 Be aware that there will be troubled times in the last days.
Asi uzive chinhu ichi: Kuchava nenguva dzokutambudzika pamazuva okupedzisira.
2 People will love themselves and love money. They will be boastful, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, and without God in their lives.
Vanhu vachava vanozvida, vanoda mari, vanozvirumbidza, vanozvikudza, vanotuka, vasingateereri vabereki, vasingatendi, vasina utsvene,
3 Heartless and unforgiving, they'll commit slander and have no self-control. Brutal people who hate what's good,
vasina rudo, vasingaregereri, vanochera vamwe, vasingazvidzori, vane utsinye, vasingadi zvinhu zvakanaka,
4 they will betray others and be totally thoughtless. They are absurdly full of themselves, living so much for pleasure that they don't care about loving God.
vanomukira, vanoita manyawi, vanonyengera, vanoda kuzvifadza nezvenyika kupfuura Mwari;
5 They may give an outward impression of being religious, but they don't actually believe it works. Stay away from these people!
vane mufananidzo bedzi wokunamata Mwari asi vachiramba simba racho. Siyana navanhu ivavo.
6 They're the kind of people that slip into homes and take control of vulnerable women who are burdened down by the guilt of sin and distracted by all kinds of desires.
Nokuti ndivo vaya vanoverevedza vachipinda mudzimba vachitapa vakadzi vasingazvibati vakaremedzwa nezvivi zvizhinji,
7 These women are always trying to learn but they're never able to understand the truth!
vanogara vachidzidza asi vasingatongosviki pakuziva chokwadi.
8 Just like Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, these teachers also oppose the truth. They are people with corrupted minds whose supposed trust in God is a lie.
Sezvakaita Janesi naJambiresi vakadzivisa Mozisi, varume avawo vanodzivisa zvokwadi, vanhu vane ndangariro dzakaora, kana pari pazvinhu zvokutenda, vakarasika.
9 But they won't get far. Their stupidity will be obvious to everyone, just like that of Jannes and Jambres.
Asi havangasviki kure, nokuti upenzi hwavo huchaonekwa navanhu vose.
10 But you know all about my teaching and behavior, and my aim in life. You know my trust in God and my love. You know what I've had to endure—
Asi kunyange zvakadaro, iwe unoziva kudzidzisa kwangu kwose, mararamiro angu, chinangwa changu, kutenda kwangu, mwoyo murefu wangu, norudo, nokutsungirira,
11 how I've been persecuted and what I've suffered. You know what happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, and at Lystra—the troubles I had and how the Lord rescued me from all of them.
matambudziko, nhamo, nezvinhu zvose zvakaitika kwandiri muAndioki, Ikoniamu nomuRistra, nokutambudzwa kwose kwandakasangana nako. Asi Ishe akandinunura kubva pazviri zvose.
12 Of course it's true that everyone who wants to live a life devoted to God in Christ Jesus will experience persecution,
Zvirokwazvo munhu wose anoda kurarama upenyu hwoumwari muna Kristu Jesu achatambudzwa,
13 while wicked people and frauds will do well, going from bad to worse, deceiving others and deceiving themselves too.
asi vanhu vakaipa navanonyengera vachanyanyisa kuipa, vachinyengera nokunyengerwa.
14 But you must hold onto the things you've learned and are convinced are true. You know who taught you.
Asi iwe, rambira pazvinhu zvawakadzidza uye ukatenda mazviri, nokuti unoziva kuti wakazvidzidza kubva kuna ani,
15 From your childhood you've known the holy Scriptures which can give you understanding for salvation by trusting in Christ Jesus.
uye kuti kubva pauduku wakaziva Magwaro matsvene, anogona kukupa uchenjeri hunosvitsa kukuponeswa kubudikidza nokutenda muna Kristu Jesu.
16 All Scripture inspired by God is useful for teaching, for confronting what is wrong, for setting us straight, and for telling us what is right.
Rugwaro rwose rwakafemerwa naMwari uye runobatsira pakudzidzisa, kurayira, kutsiura nokurayiridza mukururama,
17 This is how God provides a thorough preparation for those who work for him to accomplish all that's good.
kuti munhu waMwari akwaniswe kwazvo, agadzirirwa mabasa ose akanaka.
