2 Timothy 3
1 But of this be assured: in the last days grievous times will set in.
No rĩrĩ, menya atĩ matukũ ma kũrigĩrĩria nĩgũkagĩa na mahinda ma ũgwati.
2 For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, haughty, profane. They will be disobedient to parents, thankless, irreligious,
Andũ magaatuĩka eyendi, na endi mbeeca, na egani, na egaathi, na arumani, na andũ mataiguaga aciari ao, na matarĩ ngaatho, na matarĩ atheru.
3 destitute of natural affection, unforgiving, slanderers. They will have no self-control, but will be brutal, opposed to goodness,
Ningĩ makorwo matarĩ na wendani, na matarekanagĩra, na a gũcambania, na matangĩhota kwĩgirĩrĩria merirĩria ma mwĩrĩ, na matarĩ tha, na matendaga maũndũ mega,
4 treacherous, headstrong, self-important. They will love pleasure instead of loving God,
na andũ mendaga gũkunyanĩra andũ arĩa angĩ, na arũgĩrĩri, na eĩkĩrĩri, na endi gwĩkenia gũkĩra ũrĩa mendete Ngai.
5 and will keep up a make-believe of piety and yet live in defiance of its power. Turn away from people of this sort.
Andũ acio metuaga ta meyamũrĩire Ngai no nĩmakaanaga hinya wake. Wĩthemage andũ ta acio.
6 Among them are included the men who make their way into private houses and carry off weak women as their prisoners--women who, weighed down by the burden of their sins, are led by ever-changing caprice,
Acio nĩo arĩa matoonyagĩrĩra nyũmba ciene na makaguucagĩrĩria andũ-a-nja arĩa ahũthũ ngoro, arĩa maiyũrĩtwo nĩ mehia, na arĩa matwaragĩrĩrio nĩ merirĩria mooru ma mĩthemba yothe.
7 and are always learning something new, and yet are never able to arrive at real knowledge of the truth.
Andũ-a-nja acio nĩmerutaga ũndũ mwerũ hĩndĩ ciothe, no matirĩ hĩndĩ mamenyaga ũhoro ũrĩa wa ma.
8 And just as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so also these false teachers withstand the truth--being, as they are, men of debased intellects, and of no real worth so far as faith is concerned.
O ta ũrĩa Janne na Jambare maakararirie Musa-rĩ, no taguo andũ acio mehotoraga makararie ũhoro ũrĩa wa ma. Meciiria mao nĩ mooru, nao ha ũhoro ũkoniĩ wĩtĩkio nĩakũregwo biũ.
9 But they will have no further success; for their folly will be as clearly manifest to all men, as that of the opponents of Moses came to be.
No rĩrĩ, matingĩthiĩ haraaya, tondũ ũrimũ wao nĩũkamenyeka nĩ andũ othe, o ta ũrĩa ũhoro wa andũ acio wamenyekire.
10 But you have intimately known my teaching, life, aims, faith, patience, love, resignation,
No wee-rĩ, nĩũĩ ũhoro wothe wa ũrutani wakwa, na mũtũũrĩre wakwa, na matanya makwa, na wĩtĩkio wakwa, na ũkirĩrĩria wakwa, na wendani wakwa, na kũũmĩrĩria gwakwa,
11 and the persecutions and sufferings which I have endured; the things which happened to me in Antioch, Iconium and Lystra. You know the persecutions I endured, and how the Lord delivered me out of them all.
na kũnyariirwo gwakwa, na mathĩĩna makwa, o na mĩthemba ya maũndũ marĩa maangorire kũu Antiokia, na Ikonia, o na Lusitera, mĩnyamaro ĩrĩa niĩ ndomĩrĩirie. No Mwathani nĩahonokirie kuuma kũrĩ mathĩĩna macio mothe.
12 And indeed every one who is determined to live a godly life as a follower of Christ Jesus will be persecuted.
Ti-itherũ, mũndũ o wothe ũrĩa ũkwenda gũtũũra mũtũũrĩre wa gũkenia Ngai arĩ thĩinĩ wa Kristũ Jesũ nĩarĩnyariiragwo,
13 But bad men and impostors will go on from bad to worse, misleading and being misled.
No andũ arĩa aaganu na arĩa aheenania nĩmarĩkĩragĩrĩria kwagana, makaheenanagia na makaheenagio.
14 But you must cling to the things which you have learnt and have been taught to believe, knowing who your teachers were,
No wee-rĩ, tũũra wĩkaga maũndũ marĩa wĩrutĩte na ũkametĩkia wega atĩ nĩ ma ma, tondũ nĩũĩ arĩa maakũrutire,
15 and that from infancy you have known the sacred writings which are able to make you wise to obtain salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
na ũrĩa wamenyire Maandĩko marĩa matheru kuuma rĩrĩa warĩ kaana, marĩa mangĩhota gũkũũhĩgia nĩguo ũkaahonokio nĩ ũndũ wa gwĩtĩkia thĩinĩ wa Kristũ Jesũ.
16 Every Scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for convincing, for correction of error, and for instruction in right doing;
Ũhoro wothe ũrĩa wandĩkĩtwo Maandĩko-inĩ wekĩrirwo thĩinĩ wa mũwandĩki nĩ Ngai, na nĩwagĩrĩire harĩ ũhoro wa kũrutana, na wa gũkaanania, na wa kũrũnga mahĩtia, o na wa kũrutana mĩikarĩre ya ũthingu,
17 so that the man of God may himself be complete and may be perfectly equipped for every good work.
nĩgeetha mũndũ wa Ngai akoragwo arĩ mũkinyanĩru, na athagathagĩtwo biũ kũruta wĩra o wothe mwega.
