2 Timothy 4

1 I fully testify, then, before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who is about to judge [the] living and dead at His appearing and His Kingdom—

Migyina Onyankopɔn ne Kristo Yesu a obebu ateasefo ne awufo ntɛn, ne ba a ɔbɛba ne nʼahenni no so hyɛ wo sɛ,

2 preach the word; be earnest in season, out of season; convict, rebuke, exhort, in all long-suffering and teaching,

ka asɛm no, na bere biara gyina ne ka mu dennen yi ntɛn. Ka anim, tu fo na kyerɛkyerɛ wɔ boasetɔ mu.

3 for there will be a season when they will not endure the sound teaching, but they will heap up teachers according to their own desires—having an itching ear,

Bere bi bɛba a nnipa rentie nkyerɛkyerɛ pa no, na mmom wobedi wɔn ara wɔn asɛde akyi na wɔaboaboa akyerɛkyerɛfo a wɔbɛka nsɛm a wɔrehwehwɛ atie no ano, na wɔaka akyerɛ wɔn.

4 and, indeed, they will turn away from hearing the truth, and they will be turned aside to the fables.

Wɔbɛpo nokware no tie, na wɔatie anansesɛm.

5 But you—watch in all things; suffer evil; do the work of one proclaiming good news; make full assurance of your ministry,

Nanso mmere nyinaa mu no, ɛsɛ sɛ wohwɛ wo ho so yiye. Mia wʼani wɔ amanehunu mu. Yɛ ɔsɛmpakafo adwuma na di wo dwuma nyinaa sɛ Onyankopɔn somfo.

6 for I am already being poured out, and the time of my release has arrived;

Wogu so rehwie me sɛ afɔre ahwiesa, na bere abɛn sɛ migyaw asetena yi.

7 I have striven the good strife, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith;

Ɔko pa no, mako, mmirika no, mawie tu; gyidi no makora.

8 from now on there is laid up for me the garland of righteousness that the LORD—the Righteous Judge—will give to me in that day, and not only to me, but also to all those loving His appearing.

Afei nea ɛwɔ ma me ne nkonim akyɛde, trenee ahenkyɛw a Awurade a ɔyɛ Otemmufo treneeni no de bɛma me da no, ɛnyɛ me nko, na mmom, wɔn a wɔatena ase wɔ ɔdɔ mu atwɛn no no nyinaa.

9 Be diligent to come to me quickly,

Bɔ mmɔden bra me nkyɛn ntɛm.

10 for Demas forsook me, having loved the present age, and went on to Thessalonica, Crescens to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia; (aiōn g165)

Dema dɔɔ nnɛ wiase yi ma ɔyɛɛ saa guan gyaa me hɔ kɔɔ Tesalonika. Kreske kɔɔ Galatia, Tito nso kɔɔ Dalmatia. (aiōn g165)

11 only Lucas is with me; having taken Mark, bring [him] with you, for he is profitable to me for ministry;

Luka nko ara na ɔne me wɔ ha. Fa Marko ka wo ho na wo ne no mmra, efisɛ obetumi aboa me adwuma no yɛ.

12 and I sent Tychicus to Ephesus;

Mesomaa Tihiko kɔɔ Efeso.

13 coming, bring the cloak that I left in Troas with Carpus and the scrolls—especially the parchments.

Sɛ woreba a, fa mʼatade a migyaw wɔ Karpo nkyɛn wɔ Troa no brɛ me. Ɛyɛ a, fa me nwoma mmobɔwee no nso ka ho, ne titiriw no nea wɔde aboa nwoma yɛe no.

14 Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil; may the LORD repay to him according to his works,

Aleksandro, kɔbere dwumfo no, haw me papaapa; Awurade betua no nea ɔyɛɛ no so ka.

15 of whom you also beware, for he has greatly stood against our words;

Ɛyɛ a hwɛ wo ho yiye wɔ ne ho, efisɛ na ɔsɔre tia nsɛm a yɛka no mu denneennen.

16 no one stood with me in my first defense, but all forsook me (may it not be reckoned to them),

Bere a mereyi me ho ano no, obiara ammoa me. Wɔn nyinaa guan gyaa me. Onyankopɔn mfa nkyɛ wɔn.

17 but the LORD stood by me, and strengthened me, that the preaching might be fully assured through me, and all the nations might hear, and I was freed out of the mouth of a lion,

Nanso Awurade ne me tena maa me ahoɔden ma mitumi kaa asɛm no kyerɛɛ amanamanmufo ma wotiei. Ogyee me fii gyata anom.

18 and the LORD will free me from every evil work, and will save [me]—to His heavenly kingdom; to whom [is] the glory through the ages of the ages! Amen. (aiōn g165)

Na Awurade begye me afi bɔne nyinaa mu na ɔde me akɔ ɔsoro Ahenni no mu wɔ asomdwoe mu. Ɔno na anuonyam nka no daa daa. Amen. (aiōn g165)

19 Greet Prisca and Aquilas, and Onesiphorus’ household;

Kyia Priska ne Akwila ne Onesiforo fifo nyinaa ma me.

20 Erastus remained in Corinth, and I left Trophimus ailing in Miletus;

Erasto kaa Korinto na migyaw Trofimo wɔ Mileto, efisɛ na ɔyare.

21 be diligent to come before winter. Eubulus greets you, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brothers.

Bɔ mmɔden bra ansa na awɔwbere adu. Eubulo ne Pude ne Lino ne Klaudia ne anuanom no nyinaa kyiakyia wo.

22 The Lord Jesus Christ [is] with your spirit. The grace [is] with you! Amen.

Awurade ne wo honhom ntena. Adom nka mo nyinaa.
