2 Timothy 2
1 Thou therefore, my sonne, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Iesus.
Nĩ ũndũ wa ũguo, wee mũrũ wakwa-rĩ, gĩa na hinya thĩinĩ wa wega wa Ngai ũrĩa ũrĩ thĩinĩ wa Kristũ Jesũ.
2 And what things thou hast heard of me, by many witnesses, ye same deliuer to faithfull men, which shalbe able to teache other also.
Namo maũndũ marĩa waiguire ngĩaria mbere ya aira aingĩ-rĩ, mehokere andũ ehokeku arĩa ũũĩ atĩ no mahote kũruta andũ angĩ.
3 Thou therefore suffer affliction as a good souldier of Iesus Christ.
Ũmĩrĩria gũthĩĩnĩka hamwe na ithuĩ ta ũrĩ mũthigari mwega wa Kristũ Jesũ.
4 No man that warreth, entangleth himselfe with the affaires of this life, because he woulde please him that hath chosen him to be a souldier.
Gũtirĩ mũndũ ũrutaga wĩra wa mũthigari ũngĩĩohania na maũndũ matarĩ ma ũũthigari: we endaga o gũkenia mũnene wake ũrĩa ũmwathaga.
5 And if any man also striue for a Masterie, he is not crowned, except he striue as he ought to doe.
Ũguo no taguo, mũndũ ũrĩa ũhanyũkaga mathako-inĩ ma mahenya ndangĩheo thũmbĩ ya ũhootani atathaakĩte kũringana na ũrĩa gwathanĩtwo.
6 The husbandman must labour before he receiue the fruites.
Ningĩ-rĩ, mũrĩmi ũrĩa wĩnogagia akĩrĩma mũgũnda nĩ we wagĩrĩirwo gũtuĩka wa mbere kwamũkĩra maciaro maguo.
7 Consider what I say: and the Lord giue thee vnderstanding in all things:
Cũranagia maũndũ marĩa ndĩroiga, nĩgũkorwo Mwathani nĩarĩkũũhĩgagia maũndũ-inĩ macio mothe.
8 Remember that Iesus Christ, made of the seede of Dauid, was raysed againe from the dead according to my Gospel,
Atĩrĩrĩ, ririkanaga Jesũ Kristũ, ũrĩa wariũkirio akiuma kũrĩ arĩa akuũ, na aarĩ wa rũciaro rwa Daudi, kũringana na Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega, ũrĩa niĩ hunjagia.
9 Wherein I suffer trouble as an euill doer, euen vnto bondes: but the worde of God is not bounde.
Ũhoro ũcio nĩguo niĩ nyariiragĩrwo o nginya ngohwo na mĩnyororo ta ndĩ mũgeri ngero. No kiugo kĩa Ngai ti kĩohe.
10 Therefore I suffer all things, for the elects sake, that they might also obtaine the saluation which is in Christ Iesus, with eternall glorie. (aiōnios g166)
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, niĩ nĩnyũmagĩrĩria maũndũ mothe nĩ ũndũ wa arĩa aamũre, nĩgeetha o nao megĩĩre na ũhonokio ũrĩa ũrĩ thĩinĩ wa Kristũ Jesũ, na magĩe na riiri wa tene na tene. (aiōnios g166)
11 It is a true saying, For if we be dead together with him, we also shall liue together with him.
Ũhoro ũyũ nĩ wa kwĩhokeka, atĩrĩ: Angĩkorwo nĩtwakuire hamwe nake-rĩ, o na gũtũũra nĩtũgaatũũra muoyo hamwe nake;
12 If we suffer, we shall also reigne together with him: if we denie him, he also will denie vs.
na tũngĩkirĩrĩria-rĩ, o na gũthamaka nĩtũgaathamaka hamwe nake. No tũngĩmũkaana-rĩ, o nake nĩagatũkaana;
13 If we beleeue not, yet abideth he faithfull: he cannot denie himselfe.
na tũngĩaga kwĩhokeka, we egũtũũra arĩ o mwĩhokeku, nĩgũkorwo we ndangĩhota gwĩkaana.
14 Of these things put them in remembrance, and protest before the Lord, that they striue not about wordes, which is to no profit, but to the peruerting of the hearers.
Ririkanagia andũ maũndũ macio. Makaanagie ũrĩ mbere ya Ngai nĩguo matige gũkararanĩria ndeto itarĩ kĩene; ndeto icio itirĩ kĩguni, no gũthũkia ithũkagia arĩa maciiguaga.
15 Studie to shewe thy selfe approued vnto God, a workeman that needeth not to be ashamed, diuiding the worde of trueth aright.
Geria mũno wĩonanagie harĩ Ngai wĩ mwĩtĩkĩrĩku, na wĩ mũruti-wĩra ũtarĩ ũndũ ũngĩmũconora, na ũrutanage ũhoro ũrĩa wa ma ũrũngĩrĩirie.
16 Stay prophane, and vaine babblings: for they shall encrease vnto more vngodlinesse.
Ehagĩrĩra mĩario ĩtarĩ ya gwĩtigĩra Ngai, tondũ arĩa mekenagia na ndeto icio makĩragĩrĩria kwaga gwĩtigĩra Ngai.
17 And their worde shall fret as a canker: of which sort is Hymeneus and Philetus,
Ũrutani wao ũtheaga ta kĩronda kĩa ndĩĩra. Amwe ao nĩ Humenayo, na Fileto,
18 Which as concerning ye trueth haue erred from the marke, saying that the resurrection is past alreadie, and do destroy the faith of certaine.
arĩa maturuurĩte na magatiga ũhoro wa ma. Moigaga atĩ ũhoro wa kũriũka nĩũrĩkĩtie kũhĩtũka, na nĩ mathũkĩtie wĩtĩkio wa andũ amwe.
19 But the foundation of God remaineth sure, and hath this seale, The Lord knoweth who are his: and, Let euery one that calleth on the Name of Christ, depart from iniquitie.
No rĩrĩ, mũthingi ũrĩa mũrũmu wa Ngai nĩwĩhaandĩte wega naguo wĩkĩrĩtwo rũũri na ciugo ici: “Mwathani nĩoĩ andũ arĩa marĩ ake,” na ningĩ atĩrĩ, “Ũrĩa wothe uumbũraga rĩĩtwa rĩa Mwathani no nginya agarũrũke atigane na waganu.”
20 Notwithstanding in a great house are not onely vessels of gold and of siluer, but also of wood and of earth, and some for honour, and some vnto dishonour.
Thĩinĩ wa nyũmba yothe nene-rĩ, to indo cia thahabu na betha ikoragwo kuo ciiki, no nĩ kũrĩ indo cia mĩtĩ na cia rĩũmba; imwe nĩ cia wĩra ũrĩa mũtĩĩe, na imwe nĩ cia wĩra ũrĩa ũtangĩtĩĩka.
21 If any man therefore purge him selfe from these, he shalbe a vessell vnto honour, sanctified, and meete for the Lord, and prepared vnto euery good worke.
Mũndũ angĩĩtheria kuuma kũrĩ maũndũ macio matangĩtĩĩka, no atuĩke ta kĩndũ gĩa kũruta wĩra wa gĩtĩĩo, kĩndũ gĩtherie, kĩrĩa kĩagĩrĩire Mwathi wa nyũmba ĩyo na kĩhaarĩirio gĩa kũrutaga wĩra o wothe mwega.
22 Flee also from the lustes of youth, and follow after righteousnes, faith, loue, and peace, with them that call on the Lord with pure heart,
Na rĩrĩ, ũragĩra merirĩria mooru ma wĩthĩ, na ũthingatage ũthingu, na wĩtĩkio, na wendani, na thayũ, mũrĩ hamwe na arĩa makayagĩra Mwathani marĩ na ngoro theru.
23 And put away foolish and vnlearned questions, knowing that they ingender strife.
Reganaga na ngarari cia ũrimũ na cia ũkĩĩgu, tondũ nĩũĩ irehage ngũĩ.
24 But the seruant of ye Lord must not striue, but must be gentle toward all men, apt to teache, suffering the euill,
Nayo ndungata ya Ngai ndĩagĩrĩirwo nĩ gũtuĩka ya ngũĩ; handũ ha ũguo, yagĩrĩirwo nĩgũtuĩka ya gũtuga mũndũ o wothe, na ĩrĩ mũndũ wĩ na ũhoti wa kũrutana, na ĩrĩ mũndũ mũkirĩrĩria.
25 Instructing them with meekenesse that are contrary minded, prouing if God at any time will giue them repentance, that they may acknowledge the trueth,
Ningĩ arutage arĩa mamũkararagia ahooreire, arĩ na mwĩhoko atĩ Ngai no atũme merire, nĩguo mamenye ũhoro wa ma,
26 And come to amendment out of that snare of the deuil, of whom they are taken prisoners, to doe his will.
na atĩ matuĩke a gwĩcookera, na meteithũkie mũtego-inĩ wa mũcukani ũrĩa ũmanyiitĩte mĩgwate nĩguo mekage ũrĩa ekwenda.
