2 Timothy 3
1 But this know thou, that in the latter days hard times will come:
Kasi yeba malamu ete mikolo ya suka ekozala mikolo ya pasi:
2 and men will be lovers of themselves, and lovers of money, boasters, proud, censorious, unyielding towards their own people, denyers of grace, wicked,
bato bakokoma na lokoso ya mbongo, bakokoma miyimi, lolendo, lofundu; bakokoma kofinga Nzambe, kozanga botosi epai ya baboti na bango, koboya kozongisa matondi, kozanga limemia mpo na biloko ya bule,
3 calumniators, addicted to concupiscence, ferocious, haters of the good,
kozanga bolingo, kozanga mawa, kokosela baninga makambo, kozanga makoki ya komikanga, bato na kanza, banguna ya bolamu,
4 treacherous, rash, inflated, attached to pleasure more than to the love of God,
bateki baninga, bato ya mitema mikuse, bato na komitombola, bato balinga bisengo na esika ya kolinga Nzambe;
5 having a form of respect for God, but wide from the power of God. Them who are such, repel from thee.
bakobanda komilakisa lokola nde bazali na botosi kati na makambo ya Nzambe, nzokande bawanganaka nguya na yango. Kima bato ya lolenge wana!
6 For of them are they who creep into this and that house, and captivate the women who are plunged in sins and led away by divers lusts,
Bamosusu kati na bango bakotaka na bandako ya bato mpe bakosaka basi ya pete oyo batonda na masumu mpe bamitikaka na lolenge nyonso ya baposa ya nzoto,
7 who are always learning, and can never come to the knowledge of the truth.
oyo balukaka tango nyonso koyekola kasi bakokaka ata moke te koyeba solo.
8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so also do these withstand the truth: men whose mind is corrupted, and they reprobates from the faith.
Ndenge Janesi mpe Jambresi batelemelaki Moyize, ndenge wana mpe bato wana batelemelaka solo. Bazali bato oyo makanisi na bango esila kobeba mpe kondima na bango esila kokufa.
9 But they will not make progress, for their infatuation will be understood by every one, as theirs also was understood.
Kasi bakokende mosika te, pamba te bozoba na bango ekomonana na miso ya bato nyonso, ndenge ezalaki mpo na mibali wana mibale.
10 But thou hast followed after my doctrine, and my manner of life, and my aims, and my faith, and my long suffering, and my love, and my patience,
Nzokande yo oyebi nyonso na tina na mateya na ngai, bizaleli, makanisi, kondima, kokanga motema, bolingo, mpiko,
11 and my persecution, and my sufferings. And thou knowest what I endured at Antioch, and at Iconium, and at Lystra; what persecution I endured: and from all these my Lord delivered me.
minyoko mpe pasi na ngai; oyebi makambo nyonso oyo ekomelaki ngai na Antioshe, na Ikoniomi mpe na Listre. Solo, nanyokwamaki makasi, kasi Nkolo akangolaki ngai wuta na nyonso.
12 And likewise all, who choose to live in the fear of God, in Jesus the Messiah, will be persecuted.
Solo, bato nyonso oyo balingi kotambola na botosi kati na Yesu-Klisto bakonyokolama.
13 But evil and seducing men will add to their wickedness, while they deceive and are deceived.
Kasi bato mabe mpe ba-oyo bakosaka baninga bakozala kozinda kati na mabe, kokosa bato mosusu, mpe bango moko bakokosa bango.
14 But continue thou in the things thou hast learned and been assured of; for thou knowest from whom thou learnedst;
Kasi yo, kangama kaka na makambo oyo oyekolaki mpe ondimaki, pamba te oyebi epai ya nani oyekolaki yango;
15 because from thy childhood, thou wast taught the holy books, which can make thee wise unto life, by faith in Jesus the Messiah.
mpe wuta bomwana na yo, oyebi Makomi ya bule oyo ezali na makoki ya kopesa yo bwanya oyo ememaka na lobiko na nzela ya kondima kati na Yesu-Klisto.
16 All scripture that was written by the Spirit, is profitable for instruction, and for confutation, and for correction, and for erudition in righteousness;
Makomi nyonso ekomama na nguya ya Nzambe mpe ezali na tina mpo na koteya, kopamela, kozongisa na nzela mpe kolakisa bato kotambola kolanda bosembo,
17 that the man of God may become perfect, and complete for every good work.
mpo ete moto na Nzambe azala ya kokoka mpe ya kobongisama mpo na kosala misala nyonso ya malamu.
