2 Timothy 3
1 But, of this, be taking note—that, in last days, there will set in perilous seasons;
Mme Timotheo gape itse se, gore mo malatsing a bofelo go tlaa nna bokete thata go nna Mokeresete.
2 For men will be—fond of themselves, fond of money, ostentatious, arrogant, defamers, to parents, unyielding, unthankful, unkind,
Gonne batho ba tlaa nna baithati le barati ba madi a bone; ba tlaa nna maikgantsho le mabela, ba sotla Modimo, ba sa utlwe batsadi ba bone, ba sa ba tlotle, ebile ba le bosula gotlhelele.
3 without natural affection, accepting no truce, given to intrigue, without self-control, uncivilized, unfriendly to good men,
Ba tlaa nna ditlhogo di thata ebile ba sa ineele mo go ba bangwe; ba tlaa nna baaki ba gale le dirukhutlhi ebile ba tlaa natefelwa ke mekgwa yotlhe e e bosula. Ba tlaa nna setlhogo, mme ba tlaa sotla ba ba lekang go dira tshiamo.
4 traitors, reckless, beclouded, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God,
Ba tlaa oka ditsala tsa bone; ba tlaa nna batenegi, baikgogomosi, e le barati ba dikgatlhego bogolo go go rata Modimo.
5 having a form of godliness, but, the power thereof, denying! and, from these, turn away;
Ba tlaa ya kerekeng (phuthegong), ee, mme ga ba kitla ba dumela sepe se ba se utlwang. O se ka wa tsena mo bathong ba ba ntseng jalo.
6 For, of these, are they who enter into the houses, and captivate silly women, [women] laden with sins, led on by manifold covetings,
Ke ba ba kukunelang mo malwapeng a batho ba bangwe mme ba tsalane le basadi ba dieleele ba ba imelwang ke dibe, ba ba rute dithuto tsa bone tse dintsha.
7 Ever learning and never, unto a personal knowledge of truth, able to come;
Basadi ba mofuta oo ba saletse ruri morago baruti ba ba makgapha mme ga ba tlhaloganye boammaaruri.
8 Moreover, like as, Jannes and Jambres, withstood Moses, so, these men also, withstand the truth, —men utterly corrupted in their mind, disapproved concerning their faith;
Mme baruti ba ba tlhabantsha boammaaruri fela jaaka Janese le Jamberese ba ne ba tlhabantsha Moshe. Ba na le megopolo e e leswe, e e sokameng ebile ba fapogile mo tumelong ya Sekeresete.
9 But they shall not force their way further, for, their folly, shall be, fully evident, unto all, —as also, that of those men, became.
Mme ga ba kitla ba ya gope. Letsatsi lengwe tsietso ya bone e tlaa itsiwe sentle ke mongwe le mongwe jaaka boleo jwa ga Janese le Jamperese.
10 But, thou, hast closely studied—my teaching, manner of life, purpose, faith, long-suffering, love, endurance,
Mme wena o nkitse sentle gore ga ke motho yo o ntseng jalo. O itse se ke se dumelang le ka fa ke tshelang ka teng le se ke se batlang. O itse tumelo ya me mo go Keresete le ka fa ke bogileng ka teng. O itse lorato lwa me mo go wena, bobelotelele jwa me.
11 persecutions, sufferings, what manner of things, befell me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra, what manner of persecutions, I endured, —and, out of all, the Lord, rescued me; —
O itse matshwenyego a ke neng ka nna nao ka ntlha ya go rera Mafoko a a Molemo. O itse gotlhe mo go ntiragaletseng fa ke etetse kwa Antioka, Ikonia le kwa Lusetere, mme Morena o ne a nkgolola.
12 Yea and, all who are determined to live in a godly manner in Christ Jesus, will be persecuted;
Ee, pogiso e tlaa tlela botlhe ba ba ikaeletseng go tshela botshelo jwa Modimo go itumedisa Keresete Jesu, e tswa mo go ba ba mo ilang.
13 Whereas, wicked men and howling impostors, will force their way to the worse, deceiving and being deceived.
Ke boammaaruri, batho ba ba bosula ba tsietso ba tlaa dira go fetisisa, ba tsietsa ba le bantsi, bone ka bo bone ba tsieditswe ke Satane.
14 But, thou, —abide in the things which thou hast learned, and been entrusted with, knowing, from whom, thou hast learned [them], —
Mme o tshwanetse go tswelela go dumela dilo tse o di rutilweng. O a itse gore di boammaaruri gonne o itse gore o ka ikanya bangwe ba rona ba ba go rutileng.
15 And that, from a babe, those sacred letters, thou hast known which are able to make thee wise unto salvation, through the faith which is in Christ Jesus:
O itse sentle, gore erile o sa le mmotlana, o ne wa rutwa Dikwalo tse di boitshepo; mme ke tsone tse di go tlhalefesitseng go amogela poloka ya Modimo ka go ikanya Jesu Keresete.
16 Every scripture, [is] God-breathed, and profitable—unto teaching, unto conviction, unto correction, unto the discipline that is in righteousness, —
Baebele yotlhe re e neetswe ka tlhotlheletso ya Modimo gape e botlhokwa go re ruta se e leng boammaaruri le go re lemotsha se se sa siamang mo matshelong a rona; e a re tlhamalatsa ebile e re thusa go dira tshiamo.
17 In order that, ready, may be the man, of God, unto every good work, being well-prepared.
Ke tsela ya Modimo ya go re siamisa mo dilong tsotlhe, gore re felele mo go direleng batho botlhe tshiamo ka botlalo.
