2 Timothy 2
1 You therefore, my child, be strengthened in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
Oo, Timotheo, morwaaka, tia mo nonofong e Keresete Jesu o go e neileng.
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.
Gonne o tshwanetse go ruta ba bangwe dilo tse wena le ba bangwe lo nkutlwileng ke bua ka tsone. Ruta batho ba ba ikanyegang boammaaruri jo bogolo jo le bone ba tlaa bo rutang ba bangwe.
3 You therefore must share in hardship, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
Tsaya seabe sa gago sa go boga jaaka lesole le le siameng la ga Jesu Keresete, fela jaaka ke dira,
4 No soldier on duty entangles himself in the affairs of life, that he may please him who enrolled him as a soldier.
mme jaaka lesole la ga Keresete o se ka wa itlhakatlhakanya le dilo tsa selefatshe, gonne ga o kake wa itumedisa ene yo o go kwadileng mo mophatong wa batlhabani ba gagwe.
5 Also, if anyone competes in athletics, he is not crowned unless he has competed by the rules.
Latela melao ya Morena go dira tiro ya gagwe, felajaaka mosiani a ka latela melao kgotsa a bonwa molato mme a tlhoke go gapa sekgele.
6 The farmers who labor must be the first to get a share of the crops.
Dira thata, jaaka molemi yo o duelwang sentle ka go roba thobo e kgolo.
7 Consider what I say, for the Lord will give you understanding in all things.
Akanya ka ditshwantsho tse tharo tse, mme a Morena a go thuse go tlhaloganya gore di amana jang le botshelo jwa gago.
8 Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, a descendant of David, according to my Good News,
O se ka wa lebala ntlha ya botlhokwa ya gore Jesu Keresete e ne e le Motho, wa lotso lwa ga Kgosi Dafide; le gore e ne e le Modimo, jaaka go supilwe ke boammaaruri jwa gore o tsogile gape mo baswing.
9 in which I suffer hardship to the point of chains as a criminal. But God's word is not chained.
Ke ka ntlha ya gore ke rerile boammaaruri jo bogolo jo, ke gone ka moo ke leng fano mo matshwenyegong ebile ke tsentswe mo kgolegelong jaaka serukhutlhi. Mme Lefoko la Modimo lone ga le a golegwa, le fa nna ke golegilwe.
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)
Ke rata thata go boga, fa moo go ka tlisa poloko le kgalalelo ya bosakhutleng ka Keresete Jesu mo go ba Modimo o ba tlhophileng. (aiōnios g166)
11 This saying is faithful: "For if we died with him, we will also live with him.
Ke gomoditswe ke boammaaruri jo, gore fa ke boga re bo re swela Keresete go raya gore re tlaa simolola go nna le ene kwa legodimong.
12 If we endure, we will also reign with him. If we deny him, he also will deny us.
Mme fa re a kanya gore go mo direla ka nako eno go bokete, gakologelwang gore letsatsi lengwe re tlaa nna Nae re bo re busa Nae. Mme fa re lesa ka ntlha ya go boga, re fularela Keresete, mme le ene o tshwanetse go re fularela.
13 If we are faithless, he remains faithful, for he cannot deny himself."
Mme le fa re le bokoa thata mo re se kakeng ra salelwa ke tumelo epe, o nna a le boikanyego mo go rona ebile otlaa re thusa, gonne ga a kake a re itatola rona ba re leng bontlha bongwe jwa gagwe, mme o tlaa diragatsa ditsholofetso tsa gagwe mo go rona ka malatsi otlhe.
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.
Gakolola batho ba gago dintlha tse dikgolo tse, mme ba lae mo leineng la Morena gore ba se ka ba ganetsanya mo dilong tse di sa tlhokegeng. Dikganetsanyo tse di ntseng jalo di a timetsa ebile ga di na mosola, ebile di a bolaya.
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.
Dira thata gore Modimo o tle o go reye o re, “O dirile sentle.” Nna modiri yo o siameng, yo o sa tlhokeng go tlhabiwa ke ditlhong fa Modimo o tlhatlhoba tiro ya gago. Itse se Lefoko la One le se buang le se le se rayang.
16 But shun empty chatter, for they will proceed further in ungodliness,
O tshabe dikgang tsa boeleele tse di gogelang batho mo sebeng sa go galefelana.
17 and their word will consume like gangrene, of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;
Dilo di tlaa buiwa tse di tukang di bile di utlwisa ntho e e kekelang Humenaio le Feleto, mo go rateng dikganetsanyo, ke batho ba ba ntseng jalo.
18 who have erred concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection is already past, and overthrowing the faith of some.
Ba tlogetse tsela ya boammaaruri, ba rera maaka a gore tsogo ya baswi e setse e diragetse; ebile ba koafaditse tumelo ya bangwe ba ba ba dumelang.
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."
Mme boammaaruri jwa Modimo bo nitame jaaka lefika je legolo, ebile ga go na sepe se se ka bo tshikhinyang. Ke lefika la motheo le le nang le mafoko a mo go lone: “Morena o itse ba tota e leng ba gagwe,” mme “motho yo o ipitsang Mokeresete ga aa tshwanela go dira dilo tse di sa siamang.”
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.
Mo lwapeng lwa mohumi go na le dijana tse di dirilweng ka gauta le selefera le tse dingwe di dirilwe ka logong le ka letsopa. Dijana tse di tlhwatlhwa kgolo di dirisediwa baeng, mme tse di tlhwatlhwa e potlana di dirisiwa mo tlung ya kapeelo kgotsa go tsenya matlakala.
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.
Fa o fularela sebe o tlaa nna jaaka sengwe sa dijana tse di dirilweng ka gauta e e itshekileng, tse e leng tsone tse di siameng mo tlung, gore Keresete a tle a go dirisetse maikaelelo a gagwe a magolo.
22 Flee from youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
Tshaba sengwe le sengwe se se ka go nayang dikgopolo tse di bosula tse makawana gantsi ba nang le tsone, mme o nne gaufi le sengwe le sengwe se se go dirang gore o batle go dira tshiamo. Nna le tumelo le lorato, mme o nne botsalano le ba ba ratang Morena ebile ba na le dipelo tse di itshekileng.
23 But refuse foolish and ignorant questionings, knowing that they generate strife.
Gape ka re, o se ka wa tsena mo dikganetsanyong tsa boeleele tse di tsosang kgang mo bathong di bo di ba galefisa.
24 The Lord's servant must not quarrel, but be gentle towards all, able to teach, patient,
Batho ba Modimo ga ba a tshwanela go omana; ba tshwanetse go nna tshiamo, e le baruti ba ba pelotelele mo go ba ba molato.
25 in gentleness correcting those who oppose him: perhaps God may give them repentance leading to a full knowledge of the truth,
Ikokobetse fa o leka go ruta ba ba akabalang mabapi le boammaaruri. Gonne fa o bua le bone ka bonolo le ka maitseo ka thuso ya Modimo, go ka diragala gore ba tlogele megopolo ya bone e e sa siamang mme ba dumele se e leng boammaaruri.
26 and they may recover themselves out of the devil's snare, having been taken captive by him to his will.
Mme ba tlaa itharabologelwa mme ba falole mo serung sa botlhanka sa ga Satane sa go leofa, se o se dirisang go ba tshwara ka nako nngwe le nngwe e o e ratang, mme jalo ba ka simolola go dira go rata ga Modimo.
