2 Timothy 2
1 THOU therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
Iwe akooko, mwanaangu, koyuma muluzyalo luli muli Kkilisito Jesu.
2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
Zintu nziwakamvwa kulindime aakati kabakamboni biingi, zipe kubantu basyomekede aabo bakonzya kuyiisya bamwi abalabo.
3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
Njila mubuyumu aantomwe andime, mbuli silumamba mubotu wa Kkilisito Jesu.
4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.
Takwe silumamba uubeleka aawo kachaangidwe mumakani aabumi oobu, kuti aantela ulabotezya ooyo wakamunjizya mumulimu.
5 And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.
Alimwi, kuti umwi kazundana mbuli sikuchijaana, tapegwi musini ado wabamba milawu yakuchijaana.
6 The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits.
Chileelede kuti mulimi uubeleka changuzu atambule chaabilo chabutebuzi kusanguna.
7 Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.
Yeeya aatala anzindili mukwaamba, nkaambo Mwaami uyokupa kumvwisisisya muzintu zyoonse.
8 Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel:
Koyeeya Jesu Kkilisito, walunyungu lwaDeviti, ooyo wakabusigwa kuzwa kubafu. Eezi zileendelana amakani aangu mabotu,
9 Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound.
ayo ngendifwabila kusika kuchiimo chakwaangwa anketani mbuli simulandu. Pesi ijwi lyaLeza talyangidwe.
10 Therefore I endure all things for the elect’s sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. (aiōnios g166)
Aboobo ndakakatila muzintu zyoonse akaambo kabasale, kuti ambweni abalabo bakatambule lufutuko oolo luli muli Kkilisito Jesu, abulemu butamani. (aiōnios g166)
11 It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him:
Ooku nkwaamba kusinizizye: “Twakafwa anguwe, tuyopona alimwi anguwe.
12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:
Na twakakatila, tuyoyendelezya aawe. Kuti twamukkaka, alakwe uyootukkaka,
13 If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.
na katutasyomekede, we unoosyomekede lyoonse, nkaambo takonzyi kulitama mwini.”
14 Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers.
Inkilila aanembo nkobayeezya zintu eezi. Bachenjezye kunembo lyaLeza aatala akukazyania aatala ambala; tazigwasyi, aboobo zijaya aabo baswiilila.
15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
Kosungwaala kulitondeezya kunembo lya Leza mbuli muntu uutambulika, simulimu utakwe chintu chimuusya nsoni, uuyisya kabotu makani aalusinizyo.
16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
Leka majwi aabufubafuba, aatola kububi bwiindilide.
17 And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenæus and Philetus;
Zyaambo zyabo zilasaalila mbuli kkuni. Aakati kabo kuli Hameniyasi a Filetasi,
18 Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.
aabo bakaleya kusimpe. Baamba kuti bubuke bwabasalali bwakachitikana kale, alimwi bamwaya lusyomo lwabamwi.
19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
Nekubaboobo intalisyo yaLeza iliimvwi. Ilembedwe oobu: “Mwaami ulibezi bakwe” alimwi “Woonse waamba izina lyaMwaami weelede kusosoloka kububi.”
20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.
Mumuunzi wabuvubi, teensi zibilkilo zya ngolide a nsiliva luzutu. Kuli zibikilo zya zisamu azya bulongo. Zimwi zyazeezi nzyabulemu, alimwi zimwi teensi zyabulemu.
21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work.
Pesi kuti muntu walisalazya kubusofwaazi, uba chibikilo chabulemu. Ulasalwa, abelesegwe asimalelo, alimwi abambililwe milimu mibotu.
22 Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
Kochija ngemuzyo zyabukubusi. Yanduula bululami, lusyomo, luyando, alimwi a luumuno ababo bayita Mwaami mumoyo uusalala.
23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.
Pesi kokaka mibuzyo yabufubafuba a yakutaziba. Ulizi kuti izyala nkazyanio.
24 And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,
Muzike waLeza tayeelede kulwana pe. Anu kuti weelede kuba mubombe kuli boonse, uukkonzya kuyiisya, alimwi mubombe.
25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
Weelede kuyiisya chamoyo mubombe aabo bamukazya. Antela Leza ulabapa kusandukila ku luzibo lwa kasimpe.
26 And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.
Kuti antela bali kuboola kumiyeeyo yabo alimwi akusiya tukkole twa Saatani, ooko nkubakaangilidwe ku luyando lwakwe.
