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
I KAKALIKI ong uk melel mon Kot o Kristus Iesus, me pan kadeikada me maur o me melar akan ni a pan kotido ni a wei,
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.
Padaki masan nantiong eta ni ansau mau o ni ansau me sued kasaleda dip, o kapungada, o panaui ni kanongama, o kaukawewe.
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.
Pwe eu ansau kokodo re sota pan mauki padak en kamaur, a duen pein arail inong kasapwilada saunpadak kai, me pan wiada padak duen me re mauki.
4 That is, they will not listen to [MTY] what is true, but will listen instead to [strange] stories from our ancestors.
O re pan kawuki sang melel salong arail, ap kawuki ong kasoi mal akan.
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.
A koe en masamasan ni meakaros. Peren ki kamekam, kapwaiada wiawia en wanporon amen. Kapwaiada mau om koa.
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].
Metet ngai kamekamela o ansau en ai mela leler.
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).
I wiadar pei mau eu, i kanikielar ai weir en tang, i dadaurata poson.
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.
Ari, nin en me pung nekinek ong ia, me Kaun o pan kotiki ong ia ni ran o, iei saunkapung pung, a kaidin ong ngai ta, pwe ong karos, me anane a pwarado.
9 (Do your best/Try hard) to come to me soon.
Kaporisokki uk, pwen madang kodo re i.
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)
Pwe Demas me kase ia lar pwe a pok ong sappa et, ap samalanger Tesalonik, Kresens Kalesia, Titus Dalmatien, (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.
Lukas eta mi re i, ukada Markus, pwen iang kodo met, pwe a katepa ong ia ni ai dodok.
12 Tychicus [cannot help me because] I sent him to Ephesus [city].
A Tikikus i kadaralang Episus.
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].
Likau pup, me i pwilikidier Troas ren Karpus, wado ni om pan pwarado, o puk kan o kisin likau kan.
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.
Aleksander saunmata wia ong ia me sued toto, Kaun o en kotin depuk ong i duen a wiawia kan!
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].
Koe pil kalaka i, pwe a kin nantiong palian at padak.
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].
Ni tapin ai pan pakadeikada, sota amen me sauasa, pwe karos tang sang ia, mepukat ender pwaipwai ong irail.
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.
A Kaun o kotin ieiang ia o kamana ia da, pwe i en kak kanikiela ai padapadak o men liki kan karos en rong. I dorelar sang au en laien.
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)
A Kaun o pan kotin kapit ia la sang ni wiawia sued karos, o kotin kalua wong ia wein nanlang, i en lingan kokolata! Amen. (aiōn g165)
19 Greet [for me] Priscilla and [her husband] Aquila and the family of Onesiphorus.
Ranamau, wong Priska o Akwila o toun im en Onesiporus.
20 Erastus stayed in Corinth [city]. Trophimus, I left in Miletus [city] because he was sick.
Erastus mondi Korint, a Tropimus somaudar, i ap pwilikidi 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.
Kaporisokki uk, pwen kodo mon ansaun kapau. En Eupulus a ranamau wong uk, o pil en Pudens, o Linus, o Klaudia, o ri atail karos.
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].
Kaun o en kotikot ni ngen om! Mak en mi re omail!
