2 Timothy 2
1 THOU therefore, my son, be mighty in the grace which is in Jesus Christ.
Nítorí náà ìwọ ọmọ mi, jẹ́ alágbára nínú oore-ọ̀fẹ́ ti ń bẹ nínú Kristi Jesu.
2 And the things which thou hast heard of me before many witnesses, these commit to faithful men, who shall be qualified to teach 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 Thou therefore endure hardships, as a brave soldier of Jesus Christ.
Ṣe alábápín pẹ̀lú mi nínú ìpọ́njú, bí ọmọ-ogun rere Jesu Kristi.
4 No man who enters the army involves himself with secular affairs; that he may please the person who hath enlisted him.
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 a man contend in the public games, he is not crowned victor, unless he contend according to the laws.
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 who toils is the first who ought to partake of the fruits.
Àgbẹ̀ ti ó ń ṣe làálàá ni ó yẹ láti kọ́kọ́ mu nínú àwọn èso.
7 Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.
Ronú lórí ohun ti èmi ń sọ; nítorí Olúwa yóò fún ọ lóye nínú ohun gbogbo.
8 Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead, according to my gospel:
Rántí Jesu Kristi, ti ó jíǹde kúrò nínú òkú, láti inú irú-ọmọ Dafidi gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìyìnrere mi.
9 for which I suffer affliction, even unto chains as a malefactor; 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 Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Jesus Christ 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 It is a faithful saying: for if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him:
Òtítọ́ ni ọ̀rọ̀ náà, bi àwa bá bá a kú, àwa yóò yè pẹ̀lú rẹ̀.
12 if we suffer with him, we shall also reign with him: if we renounce him, he also will renounce 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 unbelieving, he abideth faithful; he cannot contradict himself.
Bí àwa kò bá gbàgbọ́, òun dúró ni olóòtítọ́, nítorí òun kò lè sẹ́ ara rẹ̀.
14 Put them in mind of these things, adjuring them before the Lord not to quarrel about words of no use, but tending to the perversion of the audience.
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 Be diligent to present thyself before God approved, a workman that need not blush, rightly dividing 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 bablings avoid: for they will proceed to greater lengths of impiety.
Yà kúrò nínú ọ̀rọ̀ asán, nítorí tiwọn máa síwájú nínú àìwà-bí-Ọlọ́run.
17 And their discourse will eat like as a gangrene; of whom are Hymeneus and Philetus;
Ọ̀rọ̀ wọn yóò sì máa fẹ́ bí egbò kíkẹ̀; nínú àwọn ẹni tí Himeneu àti Filetu wà;
18 who with respect to the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection hath been already; and pervert 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 Nevertheless the stable foundation of God standeth firm, having this seal, the Lord knoweth those who belong to him. And, let every man who mentions the name of the Lord depart from unrighteousness.
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 vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and pottery; and some for an honourable use, and others for baser service.
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 a man preserve himself pure from these things, he shall be a vessel for honour, sanctified and highly useful to the master, ready 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 flee youthful passions, and pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace, with those who 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 uninstructive disputes avoid, knowing that they produce quarrels.
Ìbéèrè òmùgọ̀ àti aláìní ẹ̀kọ́ nínú ni kí o kọ̀, bí o ti mọ̀ pe wọn máa dá ìjà sílẹ̀.
24 And a servant of the Lord ought not to quarrel; but to be gentle to all men, 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 with meekness correcting those who are opposers, if at last God may give unto them repentance so as to submit to the conviction 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 escape out of the snare of the devil, who have been captured 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.
