< 2 Timothy 3 >
1 But of this be sure. In the last days grievous times will come.
Ṣùgbọ́n èyí ni kí o mọ̀ pé, ní ìkẹyìn ọjọ́ ìgbà ewu yóò dé.
2 For men will be selfish, mercenary, boastful, haughty, blasphemous, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, irreligious,
Nítorí àwọn ènìyàn yóò jẹ́ olùfẹ́ ti ara wọn, olùfẹ́ owó, afọ́nnu, agbéraga, asọ̀rọ̀ búburú, aṣàìgbọràn sí òbí, aláìlọ́pẹ́, aláìmọ́.
3 without natural affection, merciless, slanderous, dissolute, and brutal.
Aláìnífẹ̀ẹ́, aláìlèdáríjì, abanijẹ́, aláìlè-kó-aràwọn-níjánu, òǹrorò, aláìnífẹ̀ẹ́ ohun rere,
4 They will hate goodness, they will be treacherous, reckless, blinded with pride, lovers of pleasure, rather than lovers of God.
oníkúpani, alágídí, ọlọ́kàn gíga, olùfẹ́ fàájì ju olùfẹ́ Ọlọ́run lọ.
5 For although they keep up the outward form of religion, they deny its power.
Àwọn tí wọn ní àfarawé ìwà-bí-Ọlọ́run, ṣùgbọ́n tí wọn sẹ́ agbára rẹ̀; yẹra kúrò lọ́dọ̀ àwọn wọ̀nyí pẹ̀lú.
6 Turn away from all such. Some of them creep into private houses and lead captive silly women who, laden with sins,
Nítorí nínú irú èyí ni àwọn ti ń rákò wọ inú ilé, tí wọ́n sì ń di àwọn obìnrin aláìlọ́gbọ́n tí a di ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ rù ní ìgbèkùn, tí a sì ń fi onírúurú ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́ fà kiri.
7 and led captive by ever-changing impulses, are always learning but never able to arrive at knowledge of truth.
Wọ́n ń fi ìgbà gbogbo kẹ́kọ̀ọ́, wọ́n kò sì lè dé ojú ìmọ̀ òtítọ́.
8 As Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so also do these men withstand the truth; being corrupt in mind and worthless in all that concerns the faith.
Ǹjẹ́ gẹ́gẹ́ bí Janesi àti Jamberi ti kọ ojú ìjà sí Mose náà ni wọ́n kọjú ìjà sí òtítọ́: àwọn ènìyàn tí inú wọn díbàjẹ́, àwọn ẹni ìtanù ní ti ọ̀ràn ìgbàgbọ́.
9 But they will not get on; for their folly will be made as openly manifest to all as was that of Jannes and Jambres.
Ṣùgbọ́n wọn kì yóò lọ síwájú ju bẹ́ẹ̀ lọ, nítorí òmùgọ̀ wọn yóò farahàn fún gbogbo ènìyàn gẹ́gẹ́ bí ti àwọn méjì yìí náà, ti yọrí si.
10 But you, Timothy, have followed my teaching, my conduct, my aims, my faith, patience, love, endurance,
Ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ ti mọ ẹ̀kọ́ mi, ìgbésí ayé mi, ìpinnu, ìgbàgbọ́, ìpamọ́ra, ìfẹ́ sùúrù.
11 as well as the persecutions and sufferings which befell me at Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. You know all the persecutions I endured, and how the Lord delivered me out of them all!
Inúnibíni, ìyà; àwọn ohun tí ó dé bá mi ní Antioku, ní Ikoniomu ní Lysra; àwọn inúnibíni tí mo faradà: Olúwa sì gbà mi kúrò nínú gbogbo wọn.
12 Yes, and all who purpose to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.
Nítòótọ́, gbogbo àwọn tí ó fẹ́ máa gbé ìgbé ayé ìwà-bí-Ọlọ́run nínú Kristi Jesu yóò faradà inúnibíni.
13 But wicked men and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceiving others, and being themselves deceived.
Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ènìyàn búburú, àti àwọn ẹlẹ́tàn yóò máa burú síwájú sí i, wọn ó máa tannijẹ, a ó sì máa tàn wọ́n jẹ.
14 But do you hold fast what you have learned and have held to be true. You know those from whom you have learned it,
Ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ dúró nínú nǹkan wọ̀nyí tí ìwọ ti kọ́, tí a sì ti jẹ́ kí ojú rẹ dá ṣáṣá sí, kí ìwọ sì mọ̀ ọ̀dọ̀ ẹni tí ìwọ gbé kọ́ wọn.
15 and how from a child you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise unto salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
Àti pé láti ìgbà ọmọdé ni ìwọ ti mọ Ìwé Mímọ́, tí ó lè sọ ọ́ di ọlọ́gbọ́n sí ìgbàlà nípasẹ̀ ìgbàgbọ́ nínú Kristi Jesu.
16 Every Scripture, seeing that it is God-breathed, is also profitable for teaching, for refutation, for correction, and for training in righteousness,
Gbogbo ìwé mímọ́ ni ó ní ìmísí Ọlọ́run tí ó sì ní èrè fún ẹ̀kọ́, fún ìbániwí, fún ìtọ́ni, fún ìkọ́ni tí ó wà nínú òdodo.
17 so that the man of God may himself be complete, and completely equipped for every good work.
Kí ènìyàn Ọlọ́run lè pé, tí a ti múra sílẹ̀ pátápátá fun iṣẹ́ rere gbogbo.
