< 2 Timothy 3 >
1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times will come.
Kasi yeba malamu ete mikolo ya suka ekozala mikolo ya pasi:
2 For men will be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
bato bakokoma na lokoso ya mbongo, bakokoma miyimi, lolendo, lofundu; bakokoma kofinga Nzambe, kozanga botosi epai ya baboti na bango, koboya kozongisa matondi, kozanga limemia mpo na biloko ya bule,
3 Without natural affection, truce-breakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
kozanga bolingo, kozanga mawa, kokosela baninga makambo, kozanga makoki ya komikanga, bato na kanza, banguna ya bolamu,
4 Traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
bateki baninga, bato ya mitema mikuse, bato na komitombola, bato balinga bisengo na esika ya kolinga Nzambe;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying its power: from such turn away.
bakobanda komilakisa lokola nde bazali na botosi kati na makambo ya Nzambe, nzokande bawanganaka nguya na yango. Kima bato ya lolenge wana!
6 For of this sort are they who creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts;
Bamosusu kati na bango bakotaka na bandako ya bato mpe bakosaka basi ya pete oyo batonda na masumu mpe bamitikaka na lolenge nyonso ya baposa ya nzoto,
7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
oyo balukaka tango nyonso koyekola kasi bakokaka ata moke te koyeba solo.
8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
Ndenge Janesi mpe Jambresi batelemelaki Moyize, ndenge wana mpe bato wana batelemelaka solo. Bazali bato oyo makanisi na bango esila kobeba mpe kondima na bango esila kokufa.
9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly will be manifest to all [men], as theirs also was.
Kasi bakokende mosika te, pamba te bozoba na bango ekomonana na miso ya bato nyonso, ndenge ezalaki mpo na mibali wana mibale.
10 But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, long-suffering, charity, patience,
Nzokande yo oyebi nyonso na tina na mateya na ngai, bizaleli, makanisi, kondima, kokanga motema, bolingo, mpiko,
11 Persecutions, afflictions which came to me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of [them] all the Lord delivered me.
minyoko mpe pasi na ngai; oyebi makambo nyonso oyo ekomelaki ngai na Antioshe, na Ikoniomi mpe na Listre. Solo, nanyokwamaki makasi, kasi Nkolo akangolaki ngai wuta na nyonso.
12 And all indeed that will live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.
Solo, bato nyonso oyo balingi kotambola na botosi kati na Yesu-Klisto bakonyokolama.
13 But evil men and seducers will become worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
Kasi bato mabe mpe ba-oyo bakosaka baninga bakozala kozinda kati na mabe, kokosa bato mosusu, mpe bango moko bakokosa bango.
14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing from whom thou hast learned [them];
Kasi yo, kangama kaka na makambo oyo oyekolaki mpe ondimaki, pamba te oyebi epai ya nani oyekolaki yango;
15 And that from a child thou hast known the sacred scriptures, which are able to make thee wise to salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
mpe wuta bomwana na yo, oyebi Makomi ya bule oyo ezali na makoki ya kopesa yo bwanya oyo ememaka na lobiko na nzela ya kondima kati na Yesu-Klisto.
16 All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
Makomi nyonso ekomama na nguya ya Nzambe mpe ezali na tina mpo na koteya, kopamela, kozongisa na nzela mpe kolakisa bato kotambola kolanda bosembo,
17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished to all good works.
mpo ete moto na Nzambe azala ya kokoka mpe ya kobongisama mpo na kosala misala nyonso ya malamu.
