2 Timothy 4
1 Christ Jesus [is going to come back and] judge those who are living [when he comes] and those who will have died. He will judge them [concerning what rewards they deserve, and] he will rule everyone. So, [knowing that] he and God are watching [everything that we do], I solemnly/earnestly command you
A gaban Allah da kuma Kiristi Yesu, wanda zai yi wa masu rai da matattu shari’a, saboda kuma bayyanuwarsa da mulkinsa, ina ba ka umarni.
2 that you proclaim the [true] message to people. Always be ready/prepared [to proclaim it], whether people want to hear it or not. [Some people are saying things that are not correct]; (refute their teaching/show why their teaching is wrong). Rebuke them when they are doing wrong. Tell them what they ought to do. Be very patient while you teach them.
Ka yi wa’azin Maganar Allah, ka zama a shirye a kullum, ko da zarafi, ko babu zarafi, ka yi gyara, ka kwaɓe, ka kuma ƙarfafa, da matuƙar haƙuri da koyarwa cikin natsuwa.
3 [Do these things] because there will be a time when people will not listen to good teaching. Instead, they will bring in many teachers for themselves who will tell them just what they want to hear [IDM]. [The reason that they will bring in such teachers is] that they want to do the evil things that they desire.
Gama lokaci yana zuwa da mutane ba za su jure da sahihiyar koyarwa ba. A maimako, don cimma burinsu, za su taro wa kansu malamai masu yawa, domin su faɗi abin da kunnuwansu masu ƙaiƙayi suke so su ji.
4 That is, they will not listen to [MTY] what is true, but will listen instead to [strange] stories from our ancestors.
Za su juye kunnuwansu daga gaskiya zuwa ga jin tatsuniyoyi.
5 [Furthermore, I command that] you always control what you think and do. [Be willing] to endure hardships/suffering. Your work should be telling people the message [about Christ Jesus]. As you serve [the Lord], do everything that [God has told] you to do.
Amma kai, ka natsu cikin kowane hali, ka jure shan wahala, ka yi aikin mai bishara, ka cika dukan ayyukan hidimarka.
6 [Timothy, I say these things to] you because as for me, [it is as though] [MET] [they are now about to kill me. It is as though my blood will] be poured out {they will kill me} [as a sacrifice on the altar]; that is, [I know] that it is the time for me to die [EUP].
Gama an riga an tsiyaye ni kamar hadaya ta sha, kuma lokacin tashina ya yi.
7 [And as to telling people the] good [message and defending it], I have (exerted myself thoroughly/done it with all my energy) [MET], [like a boxer does. As to doing] the work that God gave me to do, I have completed it, [like a runner who finishes] [MET] the race. [As to] what we believe, I (have been loyal to it/continue to believe it).
Na yi fama mai kyau, na gama tseren, na riƙe bangaskiya.
8 [So, like people award] a prize [MET] [to the winner of a race], the Lord, who judges rightly, will give me a reward [because I have lived] righteously. He will give me that reward when [MTY] [he judges people]. And not only [will he reward] me, but he will also reward all those who very much want him to come back.
Yanzu kuwa an ajiye mini rawanin adalci, wanda Ubangiji, Alƙali mai adalci zai ba ni a ranan nan ba kuwa ni kaɗai ba, amma ga duk waɗanda suka yi marmarin bayyanuwarsa.
9 (Do your best/Try hard) to come to me soon.
Ka yi iyakacin ƙoƙarinka ka zo wurina da sauri,
10 [I say that] because Demas has left me. He wanted very much [the good things that he might enjoy] [MTY] in this world [right now], and so he went to Thessalonica [city]. Crescens [went to serve the Lord] in Galatia [province], and Titus went to Dalmatia [district]. (aiōn g165)
gama Demas, saboda ƙaunar wannan duniya, ya yashe ni ya tafi Tessalonika. Kirssens ya tafi Galatiya, Titus kuwa ya tafi Dalmatiya. (aiōn g165)
11 Luke is the only one who is still with me [of those who were helping me. And when you come], bring Mark with you, because he is useful to help me in my work.
Luka ne kaɗai yake tare da ni. Ka nemi Markus ku zo tare, domin yana da amfani a gare ni cikin hidimata.
12 Tychicus [cannot help me because] I sent him to Ephesus [city].
Na aiki Tikikus zuwa Afisa.
13 And when you come, bring the coat that I left with Carpus in Troas [city]. Also, bring the books, but (most of all/especially) [I want] (the parchments/the animal skins) [on which important things are written].
Sa’ad da za ka dawo, ka zo mini da alkyabbar da na bari a wurin Karbus a Toruwas, da kuma naɗaɗɗun littattafaina, tun ba ma fatun nan masu rubutu ba.
14 Alexander, the man who makes things from metal, did many evil/harmful things to me. The Lord will punish him for what he did.
Alekzanda maƙerin ƙarafan nan ya yi mini mugunta ƙwarai. Ubangiji zai sāka masa saboda abin da ya yi.
15 So you, too, must beware of him. [He will try to destroy your work if he can], because he very much opposes the message that we [proclaim].
Kai ma sai ka lura da shi, domin ya yi gāba sosai da saƙonmu.
16 When I first defended myself [in court here], no one came along [to help defend] me. Instead, they all left me. [I pray] that it will not be counted against {[God] will forgive} them [LIT] [for leaving me].
A lokacin da na kāre kaina da farko, ba wanda ya goyi bayana, sai ma kowa ya yashe ni. Ina fata ba za a lasafta wannan laifi a kansu ba.
17 Nevertheless, the Lord was with me and strengthened me. He enabled me to fully preach the message, and all the non-Jewish people [in the court] (OR, people from many nations) heard it. And I was rescued [by the Lord] {[the Lord] rescued me} [from great danger, as if I were taken] [MET] out of a lion’s (OR, wild animal’s) mouth.
Amma Ubangiji ya tsaya tare da ni, ya kuma ba ni ƙarfi, don ta wurina a yi cikakkiyar shelar saƙon har Al’ummai duka su ji. Aka kuma cece ni daga bakin zaki.
18 [Therefore, I am sure that] the Lord will rescue me from everything that is truly evil and will bring me safely to heaven, where he rules. Praise him forever! (Amen!/May it be so!) (aiōn g165)
Ubangiji zai cece ni daga kowane mugun hari yă kuma kai ni mulkinsa na sama lafiya. A gare shi ɗaukaka ta tabbata har abada abadin. Amin. (aiōn g165)
19 Greet [for me] Priscilla and [her husband] Aquila and the family of Onesiphorus.
Ka gai da Firiskila da Akwila da iyalin Onesiforus.
20 Erastus stayed in Corinth [city]. Trophimus, I left in Miletus [city] because he was sick.
Erastus ya dakata a Korint, na kuma bar Turofimus cikin rashin lafiya a Miletus.
21 (Do your best/Try hard) to come to me before (the stormy season/winter). Eubulus, Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and many other fellow believers [in this city] (send their greetings to/say that they are thinking affectionately about) you.
Ka yi iyakacin ƙoƙarinka ka iso nan kafin damina. Yubulus yana gaishe ka, haka ma Fuden, Lainus, Kalaudiya da kuma dukan’yan’uwa.
22 [I pray that] the Lord will [help you in] your spirit, [Timothy, and] that [he] will act kindly toward all of you [believers who are there].
Ubangiji yă zama tare da ruhunka. Alheri yă zama tare da ku.
