2 Timothy 2
1 You therefore, my child, be strengthened in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
Naizvozvo iwe, mwana wangu, simba munyasha dziri muna Kristu Jesu.
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.
Nezvinhu zvawakanzwa kwandiri pakati pezvapupu zvizhinji, uzvikumikidze izvozvo kuvanhu vakatendeka vachagonawo kudzidzisa vamwe.
3 You therefore must share in hardship, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
Naizvozvo iwe utambudzike zvakaoma, semurwi wakanaka waJesu Kristu.
4 No soldier on duty entangles himself in the affairs of life, that he may please him who enrolled him as a soldier.
Hakuna munhu anobata semurwi anozvipinganidza nezviitiko zveupenyu, kuti afadze uyo wakamupinza basa.
5 Also, if anyone competes in athletics, he is not crowned unless he has competed by the rules.
Uye kana munhuwo achikwikwidza, haashongedzwi korona kana asina kukwikwidza zviri pamurairo.
6 The farmers who labor must be the first to get a share of the crops.
Murimi anobata zvakasimba anofanira kutanga kugamuchira zvibereko.
7 Consider what I say, for the Lord will give you understanding in all things.
Fungisisa zvandinoreva; uye Ishe ngaakupe kunzwisisa pazvinhu zvese.
8 Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, a descendant of David, according to my Good News,
Rangarira Jesu Kristu wakamutswa kubva kuvakafa, wembeu yaDhavhidhi, zvichienderana neevhangeri yangu;
9 in which I suffer hardship to the point of chains as a criminal. But God's word is not chained.
yandinotambudzika mairi zvakaipa, kusvikira pazvisungo, semuiti wezvakaipa; asi shoko raMwari harina kusungwa.
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)
Saka ndinotsungirira zvinhu zvese nekuda kwevakasanangurwa, kuti naivo vawane ruponeso rwuri muna Kristu Jesu, pamwe nekubwinya kusingaperi. (aiōnios g166)
11 This saying is faithful: "For if we died with him, we will also live with him.
Shoko iri rakatendeka; nokuti kana takafa pamwe naye, tichararamawo pamwe naye.
12 If we endure, we will also reign with him. If we deny him, he also will deny us.
Kana tikatsungirira, tichatongawo pamwe naye; kana tikamuramba, naiye achatiramba.
13 If we are faithless, he remains faithful, for he cannot deny himself."
Kana tisingatendeki, iye anoramba akatendeka; iye haagoni kuzviramba.
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.
Uvarangaridze zvinhu izvi, uchirairisa pamberi paIshe kusapikisa pamashoko kusingabatsiri chinhu asi kutsausa vanonzwa.
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.
Shingaira kuti uzviratidze kuna Mwari uri wakatendeka, mushandi asingafaniri kunyadziswa, anonyatsoruramisa shoko rechokwadi.
16 But shun empty chatter, for they will proceed further in ungodliness,
Asi nzvenga kutaura kwetsvina kusina maturo; nokuti vacharamba vachingonyanya pakusatya Mwari,
17 and their word will consume like gangrene, of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;
neshoko ravo richanyenga segomarara; pakati pavo pana Himenayosi naFiretosi;
18 who have erred concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection is already past, and overthrowing the faith of some.
ivo vakatsauka pachokwadi, vachiti kumuka kwatovapo, vachipidigura rutendo rwevamwe.
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."
Kunyange zvakadaro nheyo yaMwari inomira yakasimba, ine mucherechedzo uyu: Ishe anoziva vari vake, uye kuti: Umwe neumwe anoreva zita raKristu ngaabve pakusarurama.
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.
Asi muimba huru hamuna midziyo yegoridhe neyesirivheri chete, asiwo yematanda neyevhu, uye imwe ndeyekukudzwa asi imwe ndeyekusakudzwa.
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.
Naizvozvo kana munhu achizvinatsa pazvinhu izvi, achava mudziyo wekukudzwa, wakaitwa mutsvene, wakakwanira basa raTenzi, wakagadzirirwa basa rese rakanaka.
22 Flee from youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
Tizawo kuchiva kweudiki, asi uteverere kururama, rutendo, rudo, rugare, pamwe nevanodana kuna Ishe zvichibva pamoyo wakachena.
23 But refuse foolish and ignorant questionings, knowing that they generate strife.
Asi mibvunzo yeupenzi neyekusadzidza urambe, uchiziva kuti zvinomutsa kurwa.
24 The Lord's servant must not quarrel, but be gentle towards all, able to teach, patient,
Zvino muranda waIshe haafaniri kurwa, asi ave munyoro kune vese, anoziva kudzidzisa, ane moyo murefu,
25 in gentleness correcting those who oppose him: perhaps God may give them repentance leading to a full knowledge of the truth,
anoraira neunyoro avo vanozvipikisa, kuti zvimwe Mwari avape kutendeukira kuruzivo rwechokwadi,
26 and they may recover themselves out of the devil's snare, having been taken captive by him to his will.
uye vapengenuke kubva pamusungo wadhiabhorosi, wavakange vakabatwa naye pakuda kwake.
