< 2 Timothy 2 >

1 You therefore, my child, be strengthened in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
Lino uve mwana vango, uvekhiwe amakha mkhesa khukhisa ikhili mugati mwa Klisite u 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.
Imbombo in'cho pulikhe khuliune khulimenyu muvala uvutuli njela woni, ugahelikhe khu vanu ava golofu aviwesia ukhuva manyesia avange.
3 You therefore must share in hardship, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
Elunge uvukuvilwa paninie nune, ndusikha unyakhisa va Klisite Yesu.
4 No soldier on duty entangles himself in the affairs of life, that he may please him who enrolled him as a soldier.
Asikhuli usikhali uviivomba usikhi gugwa akhiyi ngencha mumbombo inchi livolevole ang'ovosie umbaha va mwene.
5 Also, if anyone competes in athletics, he is not crowned unless he has competed by the rules.
Angave umunu ikilana sipata uludin'g'olelo angave sitata nukhukonga ululagilo.
6 The farmers who labor must be the first to get a share of the crops.
Lunonu ukhuta undimi uvitiga ave va khwanja ukhupokhela ifinu fya mwene.
7 Consider what I say, for the Lord will give you understanding in all things.
Sagania ukhukongana nu guninchova, ukhuva utwa ikhukhupa ulumanyo khumambo goni.
8 Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, a descendant of David, according to my Good News,
Mukumbukhe u Yesu Klisite, ukhuhuma mukhivumbukho kia Davidi, uvachukhile ukhuma khuvavo vafuile. Ukhongana nu vufumbwe wango wa ukangeli,
9 in which I suffer hardship to the point of chains as a criminal. But God's word is not chained.
avavo uvuavo savuli ya iyo nikuveilwa nukhunkungiwa iminyororo notu nangi. Puleno ilimenyu lya Nguluve salikungiwa ne minyororo.
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)
Leno nikhiyumilencha khugala goni khuvala u Nguluve avanchaguile, vope vapate uvupokhi uvumwa Klisite u Yesu paninie nu vuvalanche uwa sikhu n'choni. (aiōnios g166)
11 This saying is faithful: "For if we died with him, we will also live with him.
Enjovele iyi ya khwidihana: “Tungave tufuile pupaninwe nu mwene,
12 If we endure, we will also reign with him. If we deny him, he also will deny us.
tungave tufumelela, tutavala paninie nu mwene, tungave tukhubela umwene na vope ikhutubela ufue.
13 If we are faithless, he remains faithful, for he cannot deny himself."
Tungave tunchila vogolofu umwene inchiga nu vugolofu, ukhuva siwesia ukhebela yuywa.”
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.
Uaendelelage ukhuvakumbusya pa mbombo inchi. Uvavungage pamiho ga Nguluve valekhe ukhupinga ukhukongana na mamenyu. Ulwa khuva samulevu kavi muile ukhokongana nili khulivuvivi khuvala avipulihencha.
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.
Vomba khumakha ukhwivonesya ukhuta wedekhiwe khwa Nguluve ukhuta nivomba embombo nin'chila khenu ikhakhulaumu. Ulivombelage ilimenyu khuvuyelwali.
16 But shun empty chatter, for they will proceed further in ungodliness,
Ulekhe amabeigano ga nkilunga ungugilongoncha ukhulutilila nukhulutilila mumbugolo.
17 and their word will consume like gangrene, of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;
Amabigano gavo givala ndi khikoho khia lukoto. Miongoni mwao ni Himenayo nu Fileto.
18 who have erred concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection is already past, and overthrowing the faith of some.
Ava vuvanu avalemilwe uvulweli vin'chova. Vinchova ukhuta uvuncha vuhumile vigalavandula ulwidikho lwa vanu.
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."
Puleno uluotu, lwa Nguluve ulukangile, “Utwa avamanyile avavile va mwene, uvikholinchova ilitawa lya utwa inugiwa avulekhe uvuvivi.”
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.
Munyumba ya umofu, siyo vyoni mufile ifiombe ifinonu tuu. Mufile ifyombo ifivivi. Fininwe ya ifi savuli ya vuvombelo wa ludwado na fininie na fininie ya fyene mabikhi nu manga.
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.
Ingave umunu ikhivalancha yuywa ukhuma khu mamba amavivi, umwene iva nkhi ombo ikhi khwemekhiwa. Avavikhiwe pasima savoli ya vuvombeli watwa.
22 Flee from youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
Uvulekhe uvunogo wa vadebe ukhukonga uwa yelueli ulwidikho, ulugano, ulunonchehencho, paninyie na avikhumwilanga utwa khunumbula inonu.
23 But refuse foolish and ignorant questionings, knowing that they generate strife.
Umbombi vatwa sinogiwa ukhulwa. Inogiwa yinogiwa ave idekhedekhe khuvanu voni uviiwesya ukhumanyesya nu khwikasa.
24 The Lord's servant must not quarrel, but be gentle towards all, able to teach, patient,
Umbombi va Nguluve sinogiwa ukhulwa, inogiwa ukhuva itulifu khuvanu woni, uviwesya ukhumanyisya uvitulela.
25 in gentleness correcting those who oppose him: perhaps God may give them repentance leading to a full knowledge of the truth,
Yinogiwa avamanyesye wala avavikhupinga. Ukhuva uNguluve iwesya ukhuva syiekhela ukuvumanya uvulweli.
26 and they may recover themselves out of the devil's snare, having been taken captive by him to his will.
Muwesia ukhupata uluhala khange ukhupa ga utego gwa Setano, ulwakhuva vasyovive nu setano khulugano lwa mwene.
