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.
Ishi mwana wane, upelwe ikhone huwaushe uwauli muhati muliwe mwa Kristi u Yesu.
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.
Ni mbombo uzuyuvhizye kwangu muhati mwa keti awinji, ubhatwalile wabhantu abhawaminiha ibho bha wezizye amanyizye abhanji.
3 Endure as I do what we suffer for Christ Jesus, like a good soldier [endures what he suffers].
Nimana amayimba palishimo naani, nishi sikali umwema wa Kristi Yesu.
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]!
Numo usikali uwa tumiha lwulwo uwabhombaimbombo zikawadi zyamuzhiihinhe izikhaloubhu, iliaje aphendezye ubosi wakwe ugosi.
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]!
Nantele muntu uwashindananishi abhanji zanya, hagabha ngiga khasaanyilile adanje uataratibu.
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]!
Ni lazima huje uwalima bhanje wawi bibidisye abhale poshele inguru yima vuno gakwe.
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].
Nalamba huje iyanga huje uBwana aligane ni mbombo zhyunti.
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].
Mwizuhaje uYesu Kristi, afume ishikholo sha Daudi, ola azyuha afume wa bhafwe. Hi alingane zinazyoizya nu mbelele,
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}.
huje isho shashintesa hata nangalile mwinjela napinye na manyololo nishi uwanajile lelo inongwa zya Ngulubhi lelo inongwa zya Ngulubhi hazi pinywa na manyololo.
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)
Ishi ivumilila imbombo zyunti wa bhala wala Ungulubhi ahabha salula, aje bhope, bhapete awauliwe ubho mwa Kristi Yesu pandwemo nu usisyea uwila na wila. (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.
Ijago ihinie iwaminishe: “ili tufwile pamo penenao taikhala taikhala nao,
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.
ngatujimba taita bhala nao wope kama tukhana umwene bhope aitukhana wope atu khana.
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).
khasatabha tuwaminiha, umwene aisagala wawaminishe hawezya awikhane yuyo.”
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]).)
Wakumbusye inongwa zya Ngulubhi huje waleshe alongone huje inongwa nongwa waleshe saga galimana nimoishi afumiliane nili uwibhovu wala awa nthejelezya.
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].
Bhomba awiyumele humaha hujintiwe nu Ngulubhi nishije uli bhomba mbombo inipato mbombo yasagalala lalamishilwe litumie izi lwalwoli shishinza.
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),
Uwiyepusye ninongwa zya munzhi ngalongola zaidi ateje.
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].
Bhayangana yangana ego gayendelela ni ilomola ilihola muhati omwo abhele uhaminoyanufileto.
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
Bhebho wantu bhananjile sanuwana lwoli wayinga azyuusiwe tayali hufishile ufumile waga lulanya ulwintishelo pahanti ipo wamo wamo.
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”.
Hata isho, usingi gwa Ngulubhi gwa bukamilishe, gakasimbilwe ugu, “Ungulubhi abhaminye awali bhamwene shila ya litambula itawa lwakwe oyo wa mwene, nashila ya tambula aje Bwana alazisiwa aiyefwe ni dhavu.”
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].
Hunyumba ishi kabhi, saga huje viliivhombo igorodi shabantu nantena ivilelo vya mapishi nilogo. Vimo vhwabho awongopwe vimo satumile bila awongopwe.
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.
Khamba umutu aiyozye yuyo afume ame ambeshe saziwo gopwa umweneshombo shashihwogopwa shivhihilwe hali imala Bwana, atayalishiwe washila mbombo inyiza.
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).
Uzinyilaje izyaziletaa nyonye izya husahala, udhaje uda wanalwoli uwaushe ulugano na hosheshe na bhala bhahukugabhe Bwana humwoyo uzelu.
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.
Lelo ukhane ula ulema maswali gishopuluzi ego galeta.
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].
Alwe hagahuwa ziwa umuntu wagulumbhi hauwazi ibho hahawazi wa unogowa wantu mbunthi anje awezye amazye jivhi.
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].
Ihwaziwa abhalejesye bhala abha hu khana epo hubhazi walo woloehwaziwa awehobhowa wantu bhunti unu abhafaidisye abhapele ahwiyisye huimanye lyoli.
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].
Bhamanye apate injele na nantele na hwiyefwe mu tego gwaseno, pumande bhatekwile nu mwehale yilugano ulwakwe.
