2 Timothy 4
1 I give this solemn command before God and Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and because of his appearing and his kingdom:
Atĩrĩrĩ, niĩ ndĩ mbere ya Ngai na ya Kristũ Jesũ, ũrĩa ũgaatuĩra ciira andũ arĩa marĩ muoyo na arĩa makuĩte, na nĩ ũndũ wa gũũka gwake na ũthamaki wake-rĩ, ngũgũtaara atĩrĩ:
2 Preach the word; be ready when it is convenient and when it is not. Reprove, rebuke, exhort, with all patience and teaching.
Hunjagia Ũhoro wa Ngai; ikaraga wĩhaarĩirie hĩndĩ ĩrĩa yagĩrĩire na ĩrĩa ĩtagĩrĩire; ningĩ rũithagĩria andũ mahĩtia mao, na ũmakaanagie, na ũmomagĩrĩrie, wĩ na ũkirĩrĩria mũnene na ũrutani mũbarĩrĩre.
3 For the time will come when people will not endure sound teaching. Instead, they will heap up for themselves teachers according to their own desires, who say what their itching ears want to hear.
Nĩgũkorwo ihinda nĩrĩgooka rĩrĩa andũ makaaregana na ũrutani ũrĩa wagĩrĩire. No nĩguo mahingie merirĩria mao-rĩ, nĩmakeyũnganĩria arutani aingĩ nĩguo mameerage maũndũ marĩa matũ mao mekwenda kũigua.
4 They will turn their hearing away from the truth, and they will turn aside to myths.
Nĩmakahũgũra matũ mao matige kũigua ũhoro wa ma, na magarũrũkĩre ngʼano cia tũhũ.
5 But you, be sober-minded in all things. Suffer hardship; do the work of an evangelist; fulfill your service.
No wee-rĩ, ikaraga wĩiguĩte maũndũ-inĩ mothe, na ũmĩrĩrie kũnyariirwo, ningĩ rutaga wĩra wa kũhunjia ũhoro wa Ngai, na ũhingagie mawĩra mothe ma ũtungata waku.
6 For I am already being poured out. The time of my departure has come.
Nĩgũkorwo nĩnyambĩrĩirie gũitwo thĩ ta iruta rĩa kũnyuuo, narĩo ihinda rĩakwa rĩa kuuma gũkũ nĩrĩkinyu.
7 I have competed in the good contest; I have finished the race; I have kept the faith.
Nĩndũĩte mbaara ĩrĩa njega, narĩo ihenya rĩakwa rĩgakinya mũthia, o na nĩndũũrĩte menyereire wĩtĩkio wakwa.
8 The crown of righteousness has been reserved for me, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give to me on that day, and not to me only, but also to all those who have loved his appearing.
Rĩu nĩnjigĩirwo thũmbĩ ĩrĩa ya ũthingu, ĩrĩa Mwathani, ũrĩa ũtuaga ciira na kĩhooto, akaahe mũthenya ũcio, na to niĩ nyiki akaahe, no ningĩ nĩ andũ othe arĩa makoretwo merirĩirie kũguũranĩrio gwake.
9 Do your best to come to me quickly.
Geria mũno o ũrĩa wahota ũũke kũrĩ niĩ na ihenya,
10 For Demas has left me. He loves this present world and has gone to Thessalonica. Crescens went to Galatia, and Titus went to Dalmatia. (aiōn g165)
nĩgũkorwo Dema, tondũ wa kwenda maũndũ ma thĩ ĩno, nĩandiganĩirie na agathiĩ Thesalonike. Nake Keresike nĩathiĩte Galatia, na Tito agathiĩ Dalamatia. (aiōn g165)
11 Only Luke is with me. Get Mark and bring him with you because he is useful to me in the work.
Luka nowe tũrĩ nake gũkũ. Oya Mariko mũũke nake, tondũ nĩ ũteithio harĩ niĩ ũtungata-inĩ wakwa.
12 Tychicus I sent to Ephesus.
Nĩndatũmire Tukiko kũu Efeso.
13 The cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus, bring it when you come, and the books, especially the parchments.
Ũgĩũka-rĩ, ndehera kabuti karĩa ndatigire gwa Karipo kũrĩa Teroa, na ũndehere mabuku makwa ma gĩkũnjo, na makĩria njũa iria cia kwandĩkwo.
14 Alexander the coppersmith displayed many evil deeds against me. The Lord will repay him according to his deeds.
Alekisandero ũrĩa mũturi wa indo cia rũthuku nĩanjĩkire ũũru mũno. Mwathani nĩwe ũkaamũrĩha kũringana na ciĩko ciake.
15 You also should guard yourself against him, because he greatly opposed our words.
O nawe mwĩmenyerere, tondũ nĩakararirie ndũmĩrĩri iitũ na hinya.
16 At my first defense, no one stood with me. Instead, everyone left me. May it not be counted against them.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ndaciirithirio rĩa mbere-rĩ, gũtirĩ mũndũ wokire kũndeithia, andũ othe nĩmandiganĩirie. Maroaga gũtuĩrwo ũũru.
17 But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me so that, through me, the message might be fully proclaimed, and that all the Gentiles might hear it; and that I was rescued out of the lion's mouth.
No Mwathani nĩarũgamire na niĩ na akĩnjĩkĩra hinya, nĩgeetha ndũmĩrĩri ĩhunjio biũ nĩ ũndũ wakwa na andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ othe mamĩigue. Na niĩ ngĩhonokio kuuma kanua ka mũrũũthi.
18 The Lord will rescue me from every evil deed and will save me for his heavenly kingdom. To him be the glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Mwathani nĩakahonokia ũũru-inĩ o wothe, na andware ũthamaki-inĩ wake wa igũrũ, nake arogoocagwo tene na tene. Ameni. (aiōn g165)
19 Greet Priscilla, Aquila, and the house of Onesiphorus.
Geithia Pirisila na Akula, na andũ a nyũmba ya Onesiforo.
20 Erastus remained at Corinth, but Trophimus I left sick at Miletus.
Erasito aatigirwo Korinitho, na niĩ ngĩtiga Terefimo kũu Mileto arĩ mũrũaru.
21 Do your best to come before winter. Eubulus greets you, also Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brothers.
Geria ũkinye gũkũ mbere ya ihinda rĩa heho. Nĩwageithio nĩ Eubulu, o na Pudene, na Lino, na Kilaudia, na ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ othe.
22 May the Lord be with your spirit. May grace be with you.
Mwathani aroikaria roho waku. Wega wa Ngai ũroikara hamwe nawe.
