2 Timothy 2
1 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
Obe mwaname mulushomo, koyuminina mu nkumbo nshetukute mukwikatana ne Klistu Yesu.
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.
Konkela njiyishilo njowalanyumfwa ame kang'amba pa bakamboni bangi, nenjobe wiyisheko bantu beti bakacikonshe kwiyishako nabambi.
3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
Mantamo lubasu mu mapensho pakubeti mushilikali washomwa wa Klistu Yesu.
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.
Mushilikali nkakute kusha mano ku ncito shimbi, nsombi ukute kuyanda kukondwelesha mushilikali mukulene lamulangililinga.
5 And if a man also striveth for masteries, [yet] is he not crowned, except he striveth lawfully.
Nendi weshikufwamba lubilo lwa kufola mali nkabela kumufolesha na walilwa kukonkela milawo ya mfwambilo.
6 The husbandman that laboreth must be first partaker of the fruits.
kayi mulimi lasebensenga mwangofu ewela nanshi kulya bishango byakutanguna kutebula.
7 Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.
Usheko mano ku makani ngondakwambili, Mwami Yesu nakakunyamfwe kwishiba bintu.
8 Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel:
Kwanukangeti, Yesu Klistu uyo walasemwa mu mukowa wa Dafeti, walapunduka kubafu mbuli ncolambanga Mulumbe Waina ngonkute kukambauka.
9 In which I suffer trouble, as an evil-doer, [even] to bonds; but the word of God is not bound.
Ndasungwa ncetani eti kapondo muno mu jele cebo ca kukambauka Mulumbe Waina, nomba necikabeco maswi a Lesa nkasungwa ncetani sobwe.
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)
Neco, nteti ntentuke cebo ca bantu mbwalasala Lesa kwambeti naboyo bakatambule lupulusho lwalesa kupitila muli Klistu Yesu kayi ne kutambula bulemu butapu. (aiōnios g166)
11 [It is] a faithful saying: For if we are dead with [him], we shall also live with [him]:
Makani awa nacancine ncine alambangeti; Na twalafwila pamo nendi nitukekale nebuyumi pamo nendiye.
12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with [him]: if we deny [him], he also will deny us:
Na tulimbikila nitukendeleshe pamo. Na tukamukane, nendi nakatukane.
13 If we believe not, [yet] he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.
Na nkatwashomeka, nendi nakabenga washomeka, pakwinga nkela kulikana.
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.
Kobanushanga bantu bintu ibi, ne kubacenjesha mwangofu pamenso a Lesa kwambeti kabatatotekeshananga pa maswi, nkacikute kunyamfwa sobwe. pakwinga cikute kunyonganya bantu balakutikinga.
15 Study to show thyself approved to God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
Elekesha mwangofu kuba wasuminishiwa pamenso a Lesa, eti musebenshi wabula nsoni; Ukute kwiyisha cena ancinencine.
16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase to more ungodliness.
Talamuka ku mibandi yabuluya italete bulemu kuli Lesa, pakwinga ikute kubatalamusha kuli Lesa.
17 And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymeneus and Philetus;
Pakwinga mibandi ilico ilyeti cilonda cinene citashilikiki. Humenayo ne Fileto ebantu basuna mibandi ilico,
18 Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.
balashiyi mukondo wancine ncine, balanyonganyango'wa lushomo lwa bantu, balambangeti bantu bafwa balapunduka kendi, kwamba kulico nteko kwa ncinencine sobwe.
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.
Nikukabeco, mpwaibaka Lesa nkapela kutenkanishiwa sobwe, pakwinga palembweti, “Mwami, ubeshi bantu bakendi” Kayi pali maswi akwambeti, “Muntu lakambilinga Mwami aleke kwinsa bintu byabula kululama.”
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 honor, and some to dishonor.
Mung'anda inene mukute kuba mbale shapusana pusana, shagolide neshasilifa neshakubesa kayi ne shakubumba. Pa mbale ishi pali shakusebensesha cindi conse, nashimbi nishakubensesha pa cindi celela.
21 If a man therefore will cleanse himself from these, he will be a vessel to honor, sanctified and meet for the master's use, [and] prepared to every good work.
Na muntu ucileka kwinsa byaipa, uliswepesha, ulyeti mbale shakusebensesha pa cindi celela, pakwinga nakabe waswepa kuli Mwami wakendi, kwambeti amusebenseshe cindi conse muncito yaina.
22 Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
Talamuka ku lunkumbwa lwa mubili. Obe konkela bululami, nelushomo, nelusuno kayi ne lumuno. Ikatana pamo ne bantu balakambililinga Mwami ne myoyo yaswepa.
23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they gender contentions.
Kayi koleka kumantamo lubasu mu kutotekeshanya kwa buluya kwabula mano, ucisheti kukutowa kuleta kukangana.
24 And the servant of the Lord must not contend; but be gentle to all [men], apt to teach, patient,
Musebenshi wa Mwami Lesa nkela kuba shikukangano'wa ne bantu, nsombi wela kunyumfwila nkumbo bantu bonse, shikwiyisha wekalikana cena moyo.
25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God perhaps will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth:
Kolicepeshanga wambanga ne bantu balakutotekenga, mpani Lesa ngobapa cindi ca kusanduka kwambeti beshibe ca ncinencine mwalumbuluka.
26 And [that] they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.
Mpani mano abo ngabwelelamo kwambeti bafume mu kose ka Satana wabekateti bensenga ncalayandanga.
