2 Timothy 2
1 You, therefore, my child, be strong in the grace that [is] in Christ Jesus,
Obe mwaname mulushomo, koyuminina mu nkumbo nshetukute mukwikatana ne Klistu Yesu.
2 and the things that you heard from me through many witnesses, be committing these things to steadfast men, who will also be sufficient to teach others;
Konkela njiyishilo njowalanyumfwa ame kang'amba pa bakamboni bangi, nenjobe wiyisheko bantu beti bakacikonshe kwiyishako nabambi.
3 you, therefore, suffer evil as a good soldier of Jesus Christ;
Mantamo lubasu mu mapensho pakubeti mushilikali washomwa wa Klistu Yesu.
4 no one serving as a soldier entangles himself with the affairs of life, that he may please him who enlisted him;
Mushilikali nkakute kusha mano ku ncito shimbi, nsombi ukute kuyanda kukondwelesha mushilikali mukulene lamulangililinga.
5 and if anyone also may strive, he is not crowned, except he may strive lawfully;
Nendi weshikufwamba lubilo lwa kufola mali nkabela kumufolesha na walilwa kukonkela milawo ya mfwambilo.
6 it is first necessary [for] the laboring farmer to partake of the fruits;
kayi mulimi lasebensenga mwangofu ewela nanshi kulya bishango byakutanguna kutebula.
7 be considering what things I say, for the LORD gives to you understanding in all things.
Usheko mano ku makani ngondakwambili, Mwami Yesu nakakunyamfwe kwishiba bintu.
8 Remember Jesus Christ, raised out of the dead, of the seed of David, according to my good news,
Kwanukangeti, Yesu Klistu uyo walasemwa mu mukowa wa Dafeti, walapunduka kubafu mbuli ncolambanga Mulumbe Waina ngonkute kukambauka.
9 in which I suffer evil—to bonds, as an evildoer, but the word of God has not been bound;
Ndasungwa ncetani eti kapondo muno mu jele cebo ca kukambauka Mulumbe Waina, nomba necikabeco maswi a Lesa nkasungwa ncetani sobwe.
10 because of this I endure all things, because of the chosen ones, that they also may obtain salvation that [is] in Christ Jesus, with perpetual glory. (aiōnios g166)
Neco, nteti ntentuke cebo ca bantu mbwalasala Lesa kwambeti naboyo bakatambule lupulusho lwalesa kupitila muli Klistu Yesu kayi ne kutambula bulemu butapu. (aiōnios g166)
11 The word [is] steadfast: For if we died together—we will also live together;
Makani awa nacancine ncine alambangeti; Na twalafwila pamo nendi nitukekale nebuyumi pamo nendiye.
12 if we endure together—we will also reign together; if we deny [Him], He will also deny us;
Na tulimbikila nitukendeleshe pamo. Na tukamukane, nendi nakatukane.
13 if we are not steadfast, He remains steadfast; He is not able to deny Himself.
Na nkatwashomeka, nendi nakabenga washomeka, pakwinga nkela kulikana.
14 Remind [them] of these things, testifying fully before the LORD—not to strive about words to nothing profitable, but to the subversion of those hearing;
Kobanushanga bantu bintu ibi, ne kubacenjesha mwangofu pamenso a Lesa kwambeti kabatatotekeshananga pa maswi, nkacikute kunyamfwa sobwe. pakwinga cikute kunyonganya bantu balakutikinga.
15 be diligent to present yourself approved to God—a workman not ashamed, straightly cutting the word of truth;
Elekesha mwangofu kuba wasuminishiwa pamenso a Lesa, eti musebenshi wabula nsoni; Ukute kwiyisha cena ancinencine.
16 and stand aloof from the profane vain talkings, for they will advance to more impiety,
Talamuka ku mibandi yabuluya italete bulemu kuli Lesa, pakwinga ikute kubatalamusha kuli Lesa.
17 and their word will have pasture as a gangrene, of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus,
Pakwinga mibandi ilico ilyeti cilonda cinene citashilikiki. Humenayo ne Fileto ebantu basuna mibandi ilico,
18 who swerved concerning the truth, saying the resurrection to have already been, and overthrows the faith of some;
balashiyi mukondo wancine ncine, balanyonganyango'wa lushomo lwa bantu, balambangeti bantu bafwa balapunduka kendi, kwamba kulico nteko kwa ncinencine sobwe.
19 sure, nevertheless, the foundation of God has stood, having this seal: “The LORD has known those who are His,” and, “Let him depart from unrighteousness—everyone who is naming the Name of Christ.”
Nikukabeco, mpwaibaka Lesa nkapela kutenkanishiwa sobwe, pakwinga palembweti, “Mwami, ubeshi bantu bakendi” Kayi pali maswi akwambeti, “Muntu lakambilinga Mwami aleke kwinsa bintu byabula kululama.”
20 And in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth, and some to honor, and some to dishonor:
Mung'anda inene mukute kuba mbale shapusana pusana, shagolide neshasilifa neshakubesa kayi ne shakubumba. Pa mbale ishi pali shakusebensesha cindi conse, nashimbi nishakubensesha pa cindi celela.
21 if, then, anyone may cleanse himself from these, he will be a vessel to honor, sanctified and profitable to the master—having been prepared to every good work;
Na muntu ucileka kwinsa byaipa, uliswepesha, ulyeti mbale shakusebensesha pa cindi celela, pakwinga nakabe waswepa kuli Mwami wakendi, kwambeti amusebenseshe cindi conse muncito yaina.
22 and flee the youthful lusts, and pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace, with those calling on the LORD out of a pure heart;
Talamuka ku lunkumbwa lwa mubili. Obe konkela bululami, nelushomo, nelusuno kayi ne lumuno. Ikatana pamo ne bantu balakambililinga Mwami ne myoyo yaswepa.
23 and be avoiding the foolish and uninstructed questions, having known that they beget strife,
Kayi koleka kumantamo lubasu mu kutotekeshanya kwa buluya kwabula mano, ucisheti kukutowa kuleta kukangana.
24 and a servant of the LORD must not quarrel, but to be gentle to all, apt to teach, patient under evil,
Musebenshi wa Mwami Lesa nkela kuba shikukangano'wa ne bantu, nsombi wela kunyumfwila nkumbo bantu bonse, shikwiyisha wekalikana cena moyo.
25 instructing those opposing in meekness—if perhaps God may give to them conversion to an acknowledging of the truth,
Kolicepeshanga wambanga ne bantu balakutotekenga, mpani Lesa ngobapa cindi ca kusanduka kwambeti beshibe ca ncinencine mwalumbuluka.
26 and they may awake out of the Devil’s snare, having been caught by him at his will.
Mpani mano abo ngabwelelamo kwambeti bafume mu kose ka Satana wabekateti bensenga ncalayandanga.
