2 Timothy 2
1 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.
Noolwekyo mwana wange nywereranga mu kisa ekiri mu Kristo Yesu.
2 And those (doctrines) which thou hast heard from me by many witnesses, them commit to faithful men, who are also able to teach others.
Ebyo bye wawulira nga njogera mu maaso g’abajulirwa abangi biyigirizenga abantu abeesigwa, abalisobola okubiyigiriza abalala.
3 And endure evils as a good soldier of Jeshu Meshiha.
Naawe bonaabonanga ng’omuserikale omulungi owa Kristo Yesu.
4 No man serveth as a soldier, and entangleth himself with the affairs of the world, that he might please him who hath chosen him.
Tewali muserikale ng’ali ku lutalo eyeeyingiza mu mitawaana gy’abantu abaabulijjo, alyoke asiimibwe oyo eyamuwandiika.
5 And if one contendeth, he is not crowned, unless according to his law he contend.
Omuntu yenna eyeetaba mu mizannyo gy’empaka, taweebwa buwanguzi bw’atagoberera biragiro bya mizannyo egyo.
6 It becometh the husbandman who laboureth that he should first eat of his fruits.
Omulimi ategana ennyo y’asaanira okufuna ku bibala ebibereberye.
7 Understand what I say to thee. Our Lord give thee wisdom in all things.
Kale lowooza ku bye ŋŋamba; Mukama ajja kukuwa okutegeera byonna.
8 Remember Jeshu Meshiha, that he arose from among the dead, he who is of the seed of David, according to my gospel;
Jjukira nga Yesu Kristo ow’omu zzadde lya Dawudi yazuukira mu bafu ng’Enjiri gye ntegeeza bw’egamba.
9 for which I endure evils unto bonds, as an evil-doer: but the word of Aloha is not bound.
Olw’Enjiri eyo, kyenva mbonaabona n’ensibibwa ng’omukozi w’ebibi. Naye ekigambo kya Katonda kyo tekisibiddwa.
10 Therefore I endure every thing on account of the elect, that they also may find salvation in Jeshu Meshiha, with the glory that is eternal. (aiōnios g166)
Kyenva ngumira ebintu byonna olw’abalonde nabo balyoke balokolebwe era bafune, n’ekitiibwa ekitaggwaawo ekiri mu Kristo Yesu. (aiōnios g166)
11 Faithful is the word: For if we be dead with him, With him also we shall live;
Ekigambo kino kyesigwa ekigamba nti: “Obanga twafiira wamu naye, era tulibeera balamu wamu naye.
12 And if we endure, We shall also reign with him; But, if we deny him, He also will deny us!
Obanga tugumiikiriza awamu naye, era tulifugira wamu naye. Obanga tumwegaana era naye alitwegaana.
13 And if we believe him not, He in his faithfulness abideth; For deny himself he cannot.
Ffe bwe tutaba beesigwa, ye aba mwesigwa, kubanga teyeewakanya.”
14 Of these (truths) remind them, and testify before our Lord, that they contend not with unprofitable words, to the overturning of those who hear them.
Ebyo bijjukizenga abantu ng’obakuutirira mu maaso ga Katonda, beewalenga okuwakana okutalina mugaso, nga bakyamya abo abawuliriza.
15 And be careful to establish thyself perfectly before Aloha, a workman without shame, preaching rightly the word of truth.
Fubanga okweraga ng’osiimibwa Katonda, ng’oli mukozi akola ebitakuswaza, era nga weekuumira mu kkubo ery’obubaka obw’amazima.
16 From vain words which have no utility in them withdraw; for they add greatly to the wickedness of those who are occupied with them.
Weewalenga ebigambo ebinyooma era ebitaliimu nsa, kubanga abantu bibongera bwongezi mu butatya Katonda.
17 And their words as an eating cancer will lay hold upon many: but one of them is Hymeneos, and another Philetos,
Era ebigambo byabwe birisaasaana nga kookolo; mu abo mwe muli Kumenayo ne Fireeto,
18 who have erred from the truth, saying, that the resurrection of the dead hath been, and the faith of some overturning.
abaakyama ne bava ku mazima, nga bagamba nti okuzuukira kwabaawo dda, era waliwo abamu be bakyamizza.
19 But the true foundation of Aloha standeth; and it hath this signature: And the Lord knoweth them who are his. And, Let every one who invoketh the name of the Lord depart from iniquity.
Kyokka omusingi Katonda gwe yateekawo mugumu, era gulina akabonero kano: “Mukama amanyi ababe.” Era nti: “Buli ayatula erinnya lya Mukama ave mu butali butuukirivu.”
20 But in a great house there are not vessels of gold only or of silver, but also of wood, also of clay: of them (some are) to honour, and of them (some) to dishonour.
Mu nnyumba ennene temubaamu bintu bya zaabu na ffeeza byokka, naye mubaamu n’eby’emiti, era n’eby’ebbumba. Ebimu bikozesebwa emirimu egy’ekitiibwa, n’ebirala egitali gya kitiibwa.
21 If a man then purify himself from these, he will be a pure vessel unto honour, fitted for the use of his Lord, and prepared for every good work.
Noolwekyo buli eyeewala ebintu ebyo ebitali bya kitiibwa anaabanga ow’ekitiibwa, atukuziddwa, asaanira okukozesebwa mukama we, olw’omulimu omulungi.
22 From all the lusts of youth escape; and pursue after righteousness, and faith, and charity, and peace, with them who call upon the Lord with a pure heart.
Naye ddukanga okwegomba okubi okw’ekivubuka, ogobererenga obutuukirivu, n’okukkiriza, n’okwagalana era n’emirembe awamu n’abo abasaba Mukama n’omutima omulongoofu.
23 From foolish controversies which are without instruction withdraw; for thou knowest that they beget strifes.
Weewalenga empaka ez’obusirusiru, ezitaliimu magezi, kubanga omanyi nti zivaamu okulwana.
24 But a servant of the Lord oweth not to strive, but to be gentle towards every man, and teaching, and long-suffering,
Omuddu wa Mukama tasaana kulwana, wabula okuba omukkakkamu eri bonna, n’okuba omuyigiriza omulungi agumiikiriza,
25 that he may instruct them who would contend against him with meekness, if by any means Aloha may give them conversion, and they may acknowledge the truth,
era aluŋŋamya n’obwetoowaze abo abamuwakanya, oboolyawo Katonda alibawa okwenenya, ne bamanya amazima,
26 and be mindful of themselves, and remove from the snare of Satana, by whom they have been entrapped at his will.
ne bava mu mutego gwa Setaani gwe baguddemu abakozese by’ayagala, ne badda engulu mu kutegeera kwabwe.
