< 2 Timothy 2 >

1 You therefore, my child, be strengthened in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
Fe bara nani gono ning, se likara nanyan bolu Kutelle ulenge na udi nanyan Kristi Yesu.
2 The things which you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit the same to faithful people, who will be able to teach others also.
Nin nimon ilenge na uwa lanza kiti ning nanya niyizi iba gbardang, na inin nanya nacara nanit acine alenge na ima yinnu udursuze wang.
3 You therefore must share in hardship, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
Pira inniu nin mi nafo kusojan Kristi Yesu kucine.
4 No soldier on duty entangles himself in the affairs of life, that he may please him who enrolled him as a soldier.
Na kusoja duku ko nakudi katwa akuyita nanya lanzun mang yii ulele, bara anan na una ubun me nmang.
5 Also, if anyone competes in athletics, he is not crowned unless he has competed by the rules.
Tutung, andi umon cum nafo anan cum sesun nduk, na asa inaghe uduke ba se adofino tiduka ncume.
6 The farmers who labor must be the first to get a share of the crops.
Uso gbas ame unan katwa kune na adin su kang seru uduk nimon kunene nin cizunu.
7 Consider what I say, for the Lord will give you understanding in all things.
Kpiliza kitene nimon ile na ndin bellu, bara Kutelle manifi uyinnun vat nimon.
8 Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, a descendant of David, according to my Good News,
Lizinon Yesu Kristi ku, Ucizunun fimus in Dauda, urika na iwa fyghe nanyan kul. Ulele di cot nin liru ulau nighari,
9 in which I suffer hardship to the point of chains as a criminal. But God's word is not chained.
Urika na ndin niu udun terii nafo unan molsu nanit. Ama na ina teru uliru Kutelle ba.
10 Therefore I endure all things for the chosen ones' sake, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with everlasting glory. (aiōnios g166)
Bara nani ndin teru nayi nanya nimon vat bara alenge na ina fere, inung wang nan se utucu ulenge na udin Kristi Yesu, nin gongon sa ligan. (aiōnios g166)
11 This saying is faithful: "For if we died with him, we will also live with him.
Ulengee ubelle un yinnuari: “Andi ti kuu ninghe, tima kuru titi ulai ninghe.
12 If we endure, we will also reign with him. If we deny him, he also will deny us.
Andi ti tere nibinayi, tima kuru tisu tigo ninghe. Andi tinarighe, ame wang manari nari.
13 If we are faithless, he remains faithful, for he cannot deny himself."
Asa ti di nin diru kidegen ame wang baso sa kidegen, bara na awasa anari litime ba.”
14 Remind them of these things, charging them in the presence of God, not to wrangle about words, to no profit, to the subverting of those who hear.
Leu ubun lizunu nani nin nimong ilele. Wunno nani atuf nbun Kutelle na iwa su kabun kitene tigbula ba. Bara ilenge imone na imon duku icine ba. Bara ilenge imone ukul duku nalenge na idin lanzu.
15 Do your best to present yourself approved by God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, properly handling the word of truth.
Fo kidowo udak nin litife ubun Kutelle imon seru nafo unit katwa sa ncin. Mino tigbulang kidegene gegeme.
16 But shun empty chatter, for they will proceed further in ungodliness,
Suna uliru bidibidi, na udin du nin diru Kutelle.
17 and their word will consume like gangrene, of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;
Uliru mine din malu kiti nafo ukul tijii kidowo. Nanya mine Himenes nin Piletus duku.
18 who have erred concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection is already past, and overthrowing the faith of some.
Alele anitari na wuro kidegene. Idin ufitu nanan kulen mal katu. Ina kpilya uyinnu sa uyenu namong.
19 However God's firm foundation stands, having this seal, "The Lord knows those who are his," and, "Let every one who names the name of the Lord depart from unrighteousness."
Vat nin nani, likara litino Kutelle yissin. Lidi nin nile imone: “Cikilare yiru alenge na idi anme” ni “Vat nlenge na idin yiccughe nin lissa Kutelle ama sunu katwa kanangzang gbas.”
20 Now in a large house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of clay. Some are for honor, and some for dishonor.
Kilari nikurfu, na niti cinsu tizinariya nin azurfari duku cas ba. Kitin cisu nakatu duku nin tiwin. Nanya nalele in katwa kalau duku, a in katwa kanangzang ku.
21 If anyone therefore purges himself from these, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified, and suitable for the master's use, prepared for every good work.
Asa umong wese litime unuzu katwa kanangzang, ame kitin cisu nimon icinari. Ina kalaghe iceu ugan, ama yitu imon katwan Cikilari, inin kyeleghe bara kokame katwa kacine.
22 Flee from youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
Cong inuzu nanya kunaniyizi nfitu. Dorton katwa kacine nin cum, uyinnu sa uyenu, usuu, a lissosin limang nin nalenge na idin yiccu Cikilare ku nanya nibinayi nilau.
23 But refuse foolish and ignorant questionings, knowing that they generate strife.
Ama narin utirinu tilalan nin dirun nonku liti. Uyiru nwo asa uda nin mayardang.
24 The Lord's servant must not quarrel, but be gentle towards all, able to teach, patient,
Na kucin Kutelle nwasu kabun ba. Ama na yitu sheuwari kitin kogha, awasa adursuzo anin yita seng.
25 in gentleness correcting those who oppose him: perhaps God may give them repentance leading to a full knowledge of the truth,
Amasu nin nonku liti udursuzu nalenge na inari uliru me. Nbata Kutelle nani ukpilu nanya yinnun liru kidegen.
26 and they may recover themselves out of the devil's snare, having been taken captive by him to his will.
Iwasa iyita nin kpilu tutun inin suna libardang shintan, kimal nkifu mine na awa kifo bari katwa me.
