2 Timothy 2
1 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
To in, Wuoda, bed motegno kuom ngʼwono ma wan-go kuom Kristo Yesu.
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.
Weche mane iwinjo ka apuonjo e nyim joneno mathoth keti e lwet joma inyalo geno, manyalo puonjo joma moko bende.
3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
Bed modhil e chandruok kaachiel kodwa kaka jalweny maber mar Kristo Yesu.
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.
Onge jalweny ma dwodore gi weche mag dala nimar odwaro mondo obed malongʼo kowinjo jatende ma chike.
5 And if a man also strive for masteries, [yet] is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.
Kamano bende e kaka jangʼwech mapiem e ngʼwech ok nyal yudo mich mar jaloch ka ok oringo kaluwore gi chike moketi.
6 The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits.
Japur matiyo matek bende ema owinjore ocham nyak mokwongo mar cham.
7 Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.
Par matut kuom gima awacho. Ruoth biro miyi rieko mar winjo tiend weche duto.
8 Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel:
Injili malando en ni Yesu Kristo ma Nyakwar Daudi ne ochier oa kuom joma otho.
9 Where in I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, [even] unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound.
Wach maberno emomiyo isanda kendo itweya ka ngʼat matimo richo. To wach Nyasaye ok otwe.
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)
Omiyo adhil kuom duto nikech adwaro ni joma Nyasaye oyiero bende oyudie warruok miyudo kuom Kristo Yesu, kendo makelo duongʼ mochwere. (aiōnios g166)
11 [It is] a faithful saying: For if we be dead with [him], we shall also live with [him]:
Ma e wach mar adier: Ka wasetho kode, to wanabed mangima kode bende;
12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with [him]: if we deny [him], he also will deny us:
to ka watimo kinda, to wanalochi kode bende; to ka wakwede, to en bende nokwedwa;
13 If we believe not, [yet] he abideth faithful: he can not deny himself.
to ka ok wabedo jo-adiera, en pod obedo mana ja-adiera, nikech ok onyal kwedore owuon.
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.
Par nigi wechegi kisiemogi e nyim Nyasaye ni giwe dhawo kuom weche maonge ohala maketho mana chuny joma winjogi.
15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
Tem matek mondo ichiwri ne Nyasaye kaka jatich molony ma wiye ok kuodi kendo mapuonjo Wach mar adiera e yo makare.
16 But shun profane [and] vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
Pogri kod mbekni manono mag piny nikech jok moketo chunygi e gik ma kamago medo bedo mabor moloyo gi Nyasaye.
17 And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;
Puonj mag joma kamago biro landore ka adhola malandore. Achiel kuomgi gin Humenayo gi Fileto,
18 Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.
mosebayo yo moweyo adiera. Giseweyo adiera ka gipuonjo ni chier osetimore, kendo giketho yie mar ji moko.
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.
Kata kamano mise mongirore mar Nyasaye ochungʼ motegno kendo ondikie ndiko ma ok ruchre mawacho niya, “Ruoth ongʼeyo joge,” kendo niya, “Ngʼato ka ngʼato maluongo nying Ruoth nyaka pogre gi timbe maricho.”
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.
Ongʼere in e ot moro amora maduongʼ nitie gige tedo molos gi dhahabu kata fedha, to bende nitie moko molosi gi bao kata lowo. Mokwongogo itiyogo tije mogen, to mokogo itiyogo tich aticha.
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.
Omiyo ka ngʼato opwodhore kuom puonj mochido to enobed kaka gir tich mitiyogo tije mogen. Enodok ngʼat maler ma Ruoth oyiego kaka jatichne makare kendo moikore tiyo tich moro amora maber.
22 Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
Ring iwe gombo maricho mag jomatindo kendo ket chunyi mar luwo ngima maler, gi yie, gihera, kod kwe, kaachiel gi joma lamo Ruoth Nyasaye gi chuny maler.
23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.
Pogri chuth gi mbekni mofuwo maonge rieko, kingʼeyo ni gikelo dhawo.
24 And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all [men], apt to teach, patient,
To jatich Ruoth ok owinjore bed makwiny, to onego obed mangʼwon gi ji duto kendo onego obed japuonj molony ma hore mos.
25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
Joma dagi puonjne nyaka orie gi muolo, ka en gi geno ni Nyasaye nyalo miyogi thuolo mar lokruok mar weyo richo mi gingʼe adiera,
26 And [that] they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.
kendo kogeno ni pachgi nyalo yawore mi gitony gia e obadho mar Satan moseketogi e twech mar timo dwarone.
