2 Timothy 2
1 You, therefore, my child, be strong in the grace that [is] in Christ Jesus,
Diawu ngeyo muanꞌama, bika wukikindisa mu nlemvo wowo widi mu Klisto 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;
Mambu momo wuwa kuidi minu va meso ma bambangi bawombo, longa mawu kuidi batu bakuikama bobo babeki bu kumalongila kuidi batu bankaka.
3 you, therefore, suffer evil as a good soldier of Jesus Christ;
Bika wumona ziaku ziphasi banga disodi dimboti di Yesu Klisto.
4 no one serving as a soldier entangles himself with the affairs of life, that he may please him who enlisted him;
Bila kuisi ko mutu wunkuendanga ku mvita wumbelanga mayindu mu bima bi luzingu lualu mu diambu kamonisa khini mutu wowo wunsonika.
5 and if anyone also may strive, he is not crowned, except he may strive lawfully;
Bobuawu, mutu wunsalanga zitsaka (bipa) kalendi vuiku budu ki ndungunu ko enati kakadi nuana boso buididi mina.
6 it is first necessary [for] the laboring farmer to partake of the fruits;
Nkuni zitsola kafueti tuama sala theti tuamina katambula mimbutu.
7 be considering what things I say, for the LORD gives to you understanding in all things.
Sudika bumboti mambu mama thubidi bila niandi veka Pfumu wela kuvana diela mu mambu moso.
8 Remember Jesus Christ, raised out of the dead, of the seed of David, according to my good news,
Tebukilanga Yesu Klisto moyo, wutotukila mu nkuna Davidi, wufuluka mu bafua boso buididi Nsamu wumboti wundieti longa.
9 in which I suffer evil—to bonds, as an evildoer, but the word of God has not been bound;
Bila mu diambu di Nsamu wumboti beni wawu ndilembo monina ziphasi ayi ndididi wukangama banga mvangi mambimbi. Muaki mambu ma Nzambi masi makangama ko.
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)
Diawu ndilembo kangila ntima mu diambu di batu bobo basobolo muingi bawu mamvawu batambula phulusu yidi mu Yesu Klisto va kimosi ayi nkembo wu kawumani. (aiōnios g166)
11 The word [is] steadfast: For if we died together—we will also live together;
Mambu mama madi ma kuikama: Enati tufuidi va kimosi ayi niandi, buna tuela zinga va kimosi ayi niandi.
12 if we endure together—we will also reign together; if we deny [Him], He will also deny us;
Enati tumvibidila buna tuela yadila va kimosi ayi niandi; vayi beto kuntunuka, niandi mamvandi wela kututunuka.
13 if we are not steadfast, He remains steadfast; He is not able to deny Himself.
Enati tuisi ko bakuikama, vayi niandi widi wukuikama, bila niandi veka kalendi kukitunuka ko.
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;
Tebula batu moyo mu mambu momo; wuba lubula va meso ma Nzambi ti babika ziphaka mu mambu ma phamba makambulu mfunu. Vayi mannatanga ku mbivusu batu bobo banwanga mawu.
15 be diligent to present yourself approved to God—a workman not ashamed, straightly cutting the word of truth;
Nuana mu monika va meso ma Nzambi banga mutu wufuana, banga kisadi kikambu mona tsoni; kinlonga mu busonga mambu ma kiedika.
16 and stand aloof from the profane vain talkings, for they will advance to more impiety,
Tina ziphaka zi mambu ma phamba ayi makambu dedakana ayi minu bila batu bobo bantubanga mawu beti luta kuendanga mu zithangu zioso ku kambu kinzikanga mambu ma Nzambi
17 and their word will have pasture as a gangrene, of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus,
ayi mambu mawu madi banga phuta yindianga nsuni wu nitu. Mu bawu muidi Imene ayi Filete.
18 who swerved concerning the truth, saying the resurrection to have already been, and overthrows the faith of some;
Bawu bamana vengama mu kiedika bu beti tubanga ti mfulukulu yimana vioka thama; balembo zimbisa minu ki batu bankaka.
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.”
Muaki fundasio yi ngolo yi Nzambi yidi kaka yitelama ayi yibeki ayi dimbu kiaki: “Pfumu zebi batu bandi, ayi woso mutu weti tangunanga dizina di Pfumu, bika katina mambu mambimbi.”
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:
Bika sia ti mimvungu mivangulu mu nolo ayi mu palata, ziawu kaka mimmonikanga mu nzo yinneni vayi muidi ayi miomi mivangulu mu minti ayi mu tuma. Miomi mivangulu mu nolo ayi mu palata midi mi luzitu bosi miomi mivangulu mu minti ayi mu tuma miawu minsadulungu kadika lumbu.
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;
Enati mutu wukikebidi wuvedila mu kambu vanga mambu mama, buna niandi wela kituka mvungu wu luzitu, wunlongo, widi mfunu kuidi vuidi wawu; wawu widi wukubama mu diambu di mavanga moso mambote.
22 and flee the youthful lusts, and pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace, with those calling on the LORD out of a pure heart;
Tina zinzinunu zi bumuana vayi tomba busonga, minu, luzolo, ndemama va kimosi ayi batu bobo bansambilanga Pfumu mu ntima wuvedila.
23 and be avoiding the foolish and uninstructed questions, having known that they beget strife,
Tina biuvu bi buvungisi, ayi bikambulu mfunu bila bizabikini ti biawu bieti totula ziphaka.
24 and a servant of the LORD must not quarrel, but to be gentle to all, apt to teach, patient under evil,
Bila kisadi ki Pfumu kasi fuana findananga ziphaka ko vayi kafueti ba mutu wulembama kuidi batu boso, mutu widi diela mu longa ayi mu zebi vibidila.
25 instructing those opposing in meekness—if perhaps God may give to them conversion to an acknowledging of the truth,
Kafueti teminanga mu malembi batu bobo bankakidilanga bila nani zebi mananga Nzambi lenda kuba vana diela di baludila mavanga ayi tula ku nzayilu yi mambu ma kiedika;
26 and they may awake out of the Devil’s snare, having been caught by him at his will.
ayi diela diawu divutukisa mu diambu babaka busionukina mu mintambu mi Satana, wuba kanga mu kuba kuika mu diambu bavanga luzolo luandi.
