2 Timothy 2
1 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
Kuite uewe ng'waane, upegwe ngulu muukende nuukole mung'wa Yesu Kilisto.
2 And the things that thou hast heard from me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
Nimakani naewigulye kung'waane muihengi naeiidu, umaike kuantu niahueli niahumile kumanyisa niauyagaa.
3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
Tula palung'wi nunene mulwago, anga mulindi numuza nuang'wa Yesu Kilisto.
4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.
Kutile umulindi nuituma imatungo yayo yayoo wezeukete nimilimo nimingiza nalikalo nulemunu inge kina wamuloelye umukulu wakwe.
5 And if a man also striveth for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he striveth lawfully.
Hange ang'wi muntu ukishinda liaza, singa ukupegwa ingala anga waleke kutyata ulengaso.
6 The farmer that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits.
Kusamilye kina umukulima nukete ebidii watule wang'wandyo kugauilwa imazao akwe.
7 Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.
Tapazali nikinikukilinga, kundogoilyo Umukulu ukupa kulenga mumakani ehi.
8 Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel:
Mukimbuke u Yesu Kilisto, kupuma ukiugwa nuang'wa Daudi, naeuiukile kupuma muashi. Ite anga ulukani lane nukutananti inkani ninza,
9 In which I suffer trouble, as an evildoer, even to bonds; but the word of God is not bound.
inge kunsoko nanso kagigwa sunga ukutungwa iminyololo anga nimugazi. Kuite ulukani lang'wi Tunda kuminyololo.
10 Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. (aiōnios g166)
Kuite gwa, nigigimieye imakani ehi kunsoko aawa ni Tunda auasague, ingegwa nienso gaa alije uuguni nuukole mung'wa Yesu Kilisto palung'wi nuukulu nuakali. (aiōnios g166)
11 It is a faithful saying: For if we are dead with him, we shall also live with him:
Intambu iye akuhuelika: Angeze aekukule palung'wi nung'wenso, kuikie nung'wenso goa.
12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:
Anga kigigimilye, kuutemya palung'wi nung'wenso gaa anga kumuhile nuanso, nung'wenso gaa ukuhita usese.
13 If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.
Ang'wi singa kuutula kiahueli, nuanso ukusaga kutula muhueli, indogoelyo shuhumile nuanso kihita.”
14 Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they contend not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers.
Longoleka kuakimbisha imakani aya. Alange ntongeela ang'wi Tunda aleke kikunguma minkani. Kunsoko kutile anga nsailo mukani ele. Kigeela kueli ukole ubepi kuawa niakutegeelya.
15 Study to show thyself approved to God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
Tula nikinyangulu kigeeleka kina ugombigwe kuang'wi Tunda anga mituma mulimo numugila insoko nakumelwa. Litumele ulukani latai mukulukuulu.
16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase to more ungodliness.
Iheje mumwanzo nakiukumbigulu, nanso ongeelya nukukila uubi.
17 And their word will eat as doth a gangrene: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;
Imyanzo ao ikisapalila anga inkomele shanga ipola niakole mung'wanso inge Himenayo nu Fileto.
18 Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.
Awa antu niauiye itai. Ilunga kina uiuki wakonda kigela. Akupiula uhueli nuaantu ang'wi.
19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth firm, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
Ata uu, ikitako nikikumu nikang'wi Tunda kilungile, nuukete uandeki uwu, Umukulu ualengile awa niakwe, hange kila nueleteza ulina lamukulu waleke uubi.”
20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.
Mito nilakigole, singa kina ikole useme niazahabu neshaba udu. Inge gwa ikole niiseme niamakota nipihe. Niing'wi yao kunsoko akitumila mikulyo hangr ung'wi yao singa yitumilwa mumakulyo.
21 If a man therefore will cleanse himself from these, he shall be a vessel to honour, sanctified, and fit for the master’s use, and prepared to every good work.
Angeze umuntu ukioja ung'wenso kupuma muitumelwi nesinga wikulyo, nuanso keseme nekikete ikulyo. Uekilwe ikulu, ukete nsailo kumukulu, hange unoneigwa kukila mulemo nuuza.
22 Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
Imanke insula niauhumba. Umetyate itai uhueli ulowa nuupolo palung'wi nawa niimitanga Umukulu kumoyo nuuza.
23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they produce quarrels.
Kuite uhite uupungu nimakolyo ao naupuuzi. Kuite ulengile kina ituga witei.
24 And the servant of the Lord must not quarrel; but be gentle to all men, apt to teach, patient,
Umitumi nua Mukulu shayemunonee kilea, kuleka aya yemunonee kulula mupolo kuantu ehi, numanyile kumanyisa, nukigigimiilya.
25 In meekness instructing those that oppose him; if God perhaps will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
Inge wasinje waamanyise kuupolo awaniimugilya. Itai Itunda wahume kuapa kuungama anga amilinga itai.
26 And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.
Ahume kulija uulengi hange nukiheja mumuntengo nuamulugu, nae akule amateka nung'wenso kunsoko aulowe wakwe.
