2 Timothy 3
1 [You need to] realize that during the last days [MTY] [before Christ returns, evil people will make] it difficult [for believers to behave as they should].
Ama yinno ilenge imone: kubi nimalin ayiri nijasi mayitu.
2 This is because [such evil] people will be habitually loving themselves and loving money. They will habitually boast [about themselves], they will be proud, and will often say bad things [about others. They] will disobey [their] parents. They will not be thankful, nor will they respect [anything that is good].
Bara anit yitu anan suu natimine, anan suu nikurfun, anan fonigiri, ufiu nati, anan liru Kutelle nanzang, anan salin lanzun liru narika na ina maru nani, na ima yitu nin godo ba, nin dirun lau.
3 They will not [even] love their own family, nor agree with [anybody] (OR, [they never forgive anyone]). They will tell lies about people. They will not control what they say and do, nor allow anyone to control them. They will not love [anything that is] good.
Ima yitu sa unlazung kunekune, anan salin shauzu nin nalapi, anan nanzu tissa, na idinnin minu nati ulau ba, anan nun, na idinin suu nimon icine ba.
4 They will (betray others/hand others over to their enemies) and act foolishly. They will be overly/very proud of themselves, and they will love to please themselves instead of loving God.
Ima yitu anan lessu nati, anan gbas, anan lanzu nin nati, anan suun lanzun mang ubun nin suu Kutelle.
5 [And, although they will] pretend that they worship God, they will not let [God’s Spirit] work powerfully [in their lives]. Do not associate with such people (OR, Do not let such people join [your congregation]),
Ima yitu nin kulap Kutelle, ama ima nari likara nnin. Kpila usun anit alele.
6 because some such [people, even now], subtly/deceivingly persuade foolish women to let them come into their houses, and then they deceive those women [so that they control what those women think. These women] have been burdened with sins {have sinned very much} and they have been led to do {they do} the many [evil] things that they strongly desire to do.
Bara among mine anitari na asa ipira nanya kilari iwunno awani alala. Alengene awaniari ale na ikulun nanya nalapi inin din wunu nani nin vat nimon nsuu nibinayi mine.
7 [Even though] they are always [wanting to] learn new things, they are never able to recognize what is true.
Ale awane kolo liri idin pizurun yinnu, ama na isa yinno udak kitin yinnu kidegene ba.
8 Just like Jannes and Jambres [long ago] very much opposed Moses, so also some [people] now oppose the true [message. Those] people think only what is evil. God rejects them [because they do not] believe [what is true].
Libau lirume na Jannis ni Jambiris wa yissin nivira ni Musa. Libau lole tutung ale anan dursuzu kinu kane yissin nivira nin kidegen. Inung anitari nan imal kuzu nibinai, na iyinna ninghinu ba kusarin yinnu sa uyenu.
9 Nevertheless, they will not continue to succeed, because most [HYP] people will understand clearly that such people are foolish, just like people also realized [clearly that Jannes and Jambres were foolish].
Ama na iba du piit ba. Bara tilalan mine mayitu kanang kiti kogha, nafo una naleli anite.
10 But as for yourself, you have fully known what I have taught. You have known [and imitated] the way in which I conducted my life, [and] what I have been trying to do. [You have] trusted [God as] I have. You have been patient as I have been. [You have] loved people [as] I have, and [you have] endured [as you suffered like] I have [suffered].
Ama kitife, una dortu udusuzu ning, adu, ukpilizu, uyinnu sa uyenu, uteru nayi ning, usuu, lissosin ncaa,
11 [You know how I endured many times when people] harmed me. [They] caused me to suffer at Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra [cities]. [But although they caused me to suffer], I endured it; and every time [they] did those things to me, the Lord rescued me.
utizin niu ning, uniu, nin nimon ile na iwa sei in Antiyok, in Ikoniyom, a in Listra. Nna teru kibinayi nin tizun niu. Nanya nani vat, Cikilare wa nutuni ucine.
12 (Indeed/You know that), for us [(inc)] who want to live (in a [godly manner/] a [manner that pleases God]), we will always be persecuted {there will always be people who will cause us to suffer} because we [have a close relationship with] Christ Jesus.
Vat nalenge na idi ninsuu iso lissosin Kutelle ima tizu nani iniu.
13 Evil people (OR, And those) who deceive other people will (get worse/teach things that are more and more wrong). [Specifically, they will] deceive other people, and [those who hear them will] deceive others.
Anitin magunta nin nanan tizu nafo among ina rusuzo anit ba su kang. Ima wultunu among. Inung wang ina wultung naneri.
14 But you, in contrast, must continue [to believe] what you have learned and (been assured of/firmly believe). [I know that you are confident/sure that it is true because] you know that you have learned it from all [of us who taught you] ([God’s truth/what is right]).
Ama bari fe, soo nanya nimong ilenge na una massu nin nile na umal yinnu mung. Uyiru kitin lenge na una massu ku.
15 From [the time when you were] a child you have known the holy writings/Scriptures. [You now know that] they enabled you to become wise so that God saved you because of your believing in Christ Jesus.
Uyiru nwo tun tinono una yinnin iyert ilau. Ilengene wasa itafi jijin bara utucufe nanyan yinnu sa uyenu in Kristi Yesu.
16 God (inspired/put into men’s minds) everything [that is written] in the Scriptures {they [wrote] in the holy writings}, and those writings are all useful to teach [us what is true], to cause us to know [when we are] wrong and then (to correct us/to show us what we have done that is wrong), and to train/teach us to do what is right.
Vat ulirun tucu Kutelleri na kyele unin. Ucau bara ukye libau lissosin, bara uyinnu nkpiliu, bara kyelu ntanu, nin dursuzu lidu lilau.
17 What [is written] {they wrote} is useful to help us who [serve] God to be ready/prepared to do all that we should do. By means of it, we are equipped {God gives us what we need} in order to do every [kind of] good deeds.
Udi nene bara unit Kutelle nan yita ning yirru, uceu nimon katwa kacine kibanayi.
