2 Timothy 2
1 You [are like a] son to me. So I urge also that you [let God] empower you [spiritually] as a result of Christ Jesus acting kindly toward you.
Busa ikaw, akong anak, magpalig-on ka sa grasya nga anaa kang Cristo Jesus.
2 [As you do that], remembering that [the message] that you heard from me is the same message that other people have affirmed/declared to you, you must entrust/give that message to people whom you can trust, people who will be competent/able/qualified to teach others.
Ug ang mga butang nga nadunggan nimo gikan kanako taliwala sa daghang mga saksi, isalig nimo sa matinud-anon nga mga tawo, nga maoy makatudlo sad sa uban.
3 Endure as I do what we suffer for Christ Jesus, like a good soldier [endures what he suffers].
Mag-antos ka sa kalisod uban nako, ingon nga usa ka maayong sundalo ni Cristo Jesus.
4 [You know that] soldiers, in order to please their captain, do not (become involved in civilian affairs/spend time doing other kinds of work) [MET]. [So, like soldiers, do not let other matters (distract you as you serve/hinder you from serving]) [Christ Jesus]!
Walay sundalo nga nag-alagad samtang nagpalambigit sa mga kalihokan niining kinabuhi, aron nga iyang mapahimuot ang iyang taas nga opisyal.
5 [Similarly, you know that] athletes who do not obey the rules of the contest will not be given {not win} the prize [MET]. [So, like athletes, do all that Christ Jesus has commanded so that God will reward you]!
Usa sad, kung adunay tawo nga makigkompetensiya ingon nga atleta, dili siya makoronahan gawas kung makigkompetensiya siya sumala sa mga balaod.
6 [You also know that] a hard-working farmer should be the first to receive some of the harvest [MET]. [So, like farmers, work hard for Christ Jesus and expect that God will reward you]!
Ang kugihan nga mag-uuma maoy una nga makadawat sa iyang bahin sa abot.
7 Think about what I have just written, because, [if you do], the Lord will enable you to understand everything [that you need to understand].
Hunahunaa ang akong gisulti, kay ang Ginoo ang maghatag kanimo ug pagsabot sa tanan.
8 [Endure everything by] remembering how Jesus Christ [endured it when he suffered]. Remember that he came back to life {God raised him from the dead} and [God affirmed/declared him to be king as] his ancestor [King] David was. Those are things that I tell to people when I tell them the message [about Christ].
Hinumdumi si Jesu Cristo, nga gikan sa kaliwat ni David, nga gibanhaw gikan sa kamatayon, sumala sa akong mensahe nga maayong balita,
9 I am suffering [here in prison] because [some people oppose] the good message [that I tell]. They have even put me in chains as if I were a criminal. Nevertheless, the message from God is not chained {nothing is preventing [MET] [others from proclaiming] the message from God}.
sa diin nag-antos ako hangtod sa gikadenahan ingon nga kriminal. Apan ang pulong sa Dios wala gyud makadenahan.
10 Therefore I [willingly] endure all [that I am suffering] for the sake of those [whom God has] chosen. [I do this] in order that Christ Jesus will save them, too, and that they will be forever with [him in the] glorious [place where he is]. (aiōnios g166)
Busa naglahutay ako sa tanan alang adtong nga mga pinili, aron hinaut sila sad makabaton sa kaluwasan nga anaa kang Cristo Jesus, uban sa walay katapusang himaya. (aiōnios g166)
11 [Endure everything as you remember] that these words [that we all say/sing] (OR, [that we teach people]) [are trustworthy]: Since we have stopped behaving as we did in the past, as though we died when he died, we shall also live with him.
Masaligan kini nga panultihon: “Kung kita namatay uban kaniya, mabuhi usab kita uban kaniya.
12 Since we are also patiently enduring what we suffer, we shall also rule with him. But if we say that we do not know him, he also will say that he does not know us.
Kung kita molahutay, maghari usab kita uban kaniya. Kung ato siyang ilimod, ilimod sad kita niya.
13 If we (are unfaithful/stop doing what he tells us to do), he will treat us just like he promised to do, because he (can never be untrue to himself/always does what he says that he will do).
Kung kita dili matinud-anon, magpabilin siya nga matinud-anon, kay dili niya malimod ang iyang kaugalingon.”
14 [Those whom you appointed to teach others] God’s truth, keep reminding them about these things that [I have told you]. Tell them strongly that, since God knows what they are doing (OR, that God [will judge them for everything that is wrong that they do, and therefore]) they must not quarrel (about words/about matters that are not important), [because, when teachers quarrel, it helps] no one, [and because, when they quarrel, they spiritually] destroy those who hear them (OR, they cause those who hear [them to] quit (being committed [to Christ]/believing [in Christ]).)
Ipadayon nimo ang pagpahinumdom kanila niining mga butanga. Pasidan-i sila atubangan sa Dios nga dili sila makig-away mahitungod sa mga pulong, tungod kay ang pagbuhat niini walay kapuslanan, gadaot sa mga maminaw niini.
15 (Do your best/Try hard) to be the kind of person that God will approve of. [Be like a] good worker as you teach the true message accurately. If a worker works well, he will not need to be ashamed of (OR, will be pleased about) [what he does].
Paningkamuti pag-ayo nga mapakita nimo imong kaugalingon ingon nga giuyonan sa Dios nga nagtrabaho nga walay ikaulaw, nga sakto ang paggamit sa pulong sa kamatuoran.
16 (Stay away from/Do not talk with) [those who talk foolishly and] ([godlessly/say things that displease God]), because [those who talk foolishly] will become even more (ungodly/displeasing to God),
Likayi ang malaw-ay nga panultihon, nga magdala sa samot nga pagkinabuhi nga dili diosnon.
17 and [because] their message will [harm people] [SIM] [like] gangrene/cancer does. [You know] Hymenaeus and Philetus. They are [two] such people [who talk in this manner].
Ang ilang pulong mokaylap sama sa kabahong, uban niini sila Himeneo ug Felito,
18 [Specifically], they teach a wrong message; [that is], they say [wrongly that God will not cause dead people to live again because] he has already given us [spiritual] life. [They claim that our spiritual life is the only new life that we will receive. By saying that], they cause some people
mga lalaki nga nasalaag gikan sa kamatuoran, nga nag-ingon nga nahitabo na ang pagkabanhaw, ug gilibog nila ang pagtuo sa uban.
19 not to continue to believe [in Christ]. However, [the congregations of] God are strong [MET]. [They are like] a strong foundation on which is written: “The Lord knows the people who really belong to him,” and “Every person who calls Jesus [MTY] ‘Lord’ must stop doing wicked things”.
Bisan pa niini, gatindog ang lig-on nga pundasyon sa Dios nga aduna niining kinudlit, “Nakahibalo ang Ginoo kinsa ang iya,” ug “Ang tanan nga nagsangpit sa ngalan sa Ginoo kinahanglan mobiya sa dili pagkamatarong.”
20 In a wealthy person’s house there are not only utensils made of gold and of silver, but also utensils made of wood and of clay. The gold and silver [utensils are used] at special [occasions/events], and the others are used at ordinary [occasions. Similarly, in a congregation there are those who] ([are ready/desire]) [to do great things for the Lord Jesus, and there are those like the teachers of false doctrines/teachings who are not].
Sa dato nga panimalay, dili lamang mga bulawan ug plata ang mga galamiton, apan aduna sad gikan sa kahoy ug pula nga yuta; ang uban alang sa halangdong paggamit ug ang uban sa dili halangdon.
21 Therefore, those who rid themselves of [what is evil in their lives] will be able to [work well for the Lord. They will be like] utensils [MET] used at special [occasions], set apart for and especially useful to the owner [of the big house. They will be like fine utensils] that have been prepared {are ready} to do any kind of good work.
Kung manghinlo ang usa ka tawo sa iyang kaugalingon gikan sa dili halangdon nga paggamit, mahimo siya nga halangdon nga galamiton, gigahin, mapuslanon sa Amo, ug andam siya sa tanang maayo nga buluhaton.
22 [Because of that], you [(sg)] must avoid doing the wrong actions that [many] young people desire to do. Instead, you must earnestly do right actions, believe [the true teaching], love [God and others, and you must continually be at] peace with those who ask the Lord [to help them and who are] pure in every way (OR, who serve [Jesus] faithfully).
Magpalayo ka sa lawasnong kaibog sa mga batan-on, ug tinguhaa ang pagkamatarong, pagtuo, gugma, kalinaw, uban kanila nga nagtawag sa Ginoo gikan sa putli nga kasingkasing.
23 Do not talk [with anyone who] foolishly [wants] to argue about matters that are not important. [Do not talk with them], because you know that [when people talk about foolish things], they begin to quarrel.
Apan balibari ang binuang ug ignoranti nga mga pangutana, kay nasayod ka nga kini maoy hinungdan sa mga lalis.
24 But those who serve the Lord must not quarrel. Instead, they should be kind to all people, they should be able to teach [God’s truth well], and they should be patient [with people].
Kinahanglan ang alagad sa Ginoo dili mangaway, apan hinuon kinahanglan malumo siya sa tanan, kahibalo magtudlo, mapailubon,
25 [That is, they should] gently instruct/teach people who oppose [the true message. They should do that] in order that perhaps God will cause others to completely change what they think, so that they may acknowledge/believe the true [message].
adunay kaaghup nga magtudlo adtong mga mosupak kaniya. Basin pa ang Dios maghatag kanila ug paghinulsol sa diin masayod sila sa kamatuoran,
26 In that way they may get free from [what is like] [MET] a trap [set by] the devil. The devil has deceived them in order that [they might do] what he wants [them to do].
ug unta mabalik kanila ang maayong panghunahuna aron makaikyas sila sa lit-ag sa yawa, kay sila nadakpan niya alang sa iyang kabubut-on.
