< 2 Timothy 3 >

1 THIS know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
Mme Timotheo gape itse se, gore mo malatsing a bofelo go tlaa nna bokete thata go nna Mokeresete.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
Gonne batho ba tlaa nna baithati le barati ba madi a bone; ba tlaa nna maikgantsho le mabela, ba sotla Modimo, ba sa utlwe batsadi ba bone, ba sa ba tlotle, ebile ba le bosula gotlhelele.
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
Ba tlaa nna ditlhogo di thata ebile ba sa ineele mo go ba bangwe; ba tlaa nna baaki ba gale le dirukhutlhi ebile ba tlaa natefelwa ke mekgwa yotlhe e e bosula. Ba tlaa nna setlhogo, mme ba tlaa sotla ba ba lekang go dira tshiamo.
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
Ba tlaa oka ditsala tsa bone; ba tlaa nna batenegi, baikgogomosi, e le barati ba dikgatlhego bogolo go go rata Modimo.
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
Ba tlaa ya kerekeng (phuthegong), ee, mme ga ba kitla ba dumela sepe se ba se utlwang. O se ka wa tsena mo bathong ba ba ntseng jalo.
6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
Ke ba ba kukunelang mo malwapeng a batho ba bangwe mme ba tsalane le basadi ba dieleele ba ba imelwang ke dibe, ba ba rute dithuto tsa bone tse dintsha.
7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
Basadi ba mofuta oo ba saletse ruri morago baruti ba ba makgapha mme ga ba tlhaloganye boammaaruri.
8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
Mme baruti ba ba tlhabantsha boammaaruri fela jaaka Janese le Jamberese ba ne ba tlhabantsha Moshe. Ba na le megopolo e e leswe, e e sokameng ebile ba fapogile mo tumelong ya Sekeresete.
9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.
Mme ga ba kitla ba ya gope. Letsatsi lengwe tsietso ya bone e tlaa itsiwe sentle ke mongwe le mongwe jaaka boleo jwa ga Janese le Jamperese.
10 But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,
Mme wena o nkitse sentle gore ga ke motho yo o ntseng jalo. O itse se ke se dumelang le ka fa ke tshelang ka teng le se ke se batlang. O itse tumelo ya me mo go Keresete le ka fa ke bogileng ka teng. O itse lorato lwa me mo go wena, bobelotelele jwa me.
11 Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.
O itse matshwenyego a ke neng ka nna nao ka ntlha ya go rera Mafoko a a Molemo. O itse gotlhe mo go ntiragaletseng fa ke etetse kwa Antioka, Ikonia le kwa Lusetere, mme Morena o ne a nkgolola.
12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
Ee, pogiso e tlaa tlela botlhe ba ba ikaeletseng go tshela botshelo jwa Modimo go itumedisa Keresete Jesu, e tswa mo go ba ba mo ilang.
13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
Ke boammaaruri, batho ba ba bosula ba tsietso ba tlaa dira go fetisisa, ba tsietsa ba le bantsi, bone ka bo bone ba tsieditswe ke Satane.
14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;
Mme o tshwanetse go tswelela go dumela dilo tse o di rutilweng. O a itse gore di boammaaruri gonne o itse gore o ka ikanya bangwe ba rona ba ba go rutileng.
15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
O itse sentle, gore erile o sa le mmotlana, o ne wa rutwa Dikwalo tse di boitshepo; mme ke tsone tse di go tlhalefesitseng go amogela poloka ya Modimo ka go ikanya Jesu Keresete.
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
Baebele yotlhe re e neetswe ka tlhotlheletso ya Modimo gape e botlhokwa go re ruta se e leng boammaaruri le go re lemotsha se se sa siamang mo matshelong a rona; e a re tlhamalatsa ebile e re thusa go dira tshiamo.
17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
Ke tsela ya Modimo ya go re siamisa mo dilong tsotlhe, gore re felele mo go direleng batho botlhe tshiamo ka botlalo.
