2 Timothy 2
1 You therefore, my child, be strengthened in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
Cwale iwe, banangu, mukozwe mu chishemo cha na mwa Kreste Jesu.
2 The things which you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit the same things to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.
Mi ni zintu zimwa zuwa kwangu hakatu ke mpaki zingi, muzi tambike ku vantu va sepahala vete va wole ku luta vamwi hape.
3 You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
Munyande muvukavo - vukukutu neme, sina ili isole lyi shiyeme lya Kreste Jesu.
4 No soldier on duty entangles himself in the affairs of life, that he may please him who enrolled him as a soldier.
Kakwina i sole lyi seveza nili suminwe muzintu zovunu vuhalo, kuti a tavise wina he wulu lyakwe.
5 Also, if anyone competes in athletics, he isn’t crowned unless he has competed by the rules.
Mi hape, haiva zumwi wi zuziliza kuva yo tiya, kazwatikiwa i kuwani yo mushukwe haisi ha yenderera ni milao.
6 The farmer who labors must be the first to get a share of the crops.
Mi itukero yo mulimi yo seveza ahulu kuti atambule inkavelo yakwe ye zimelantu kumatangilo.
7 Consider what I say, and may the Lord give you understanding in all things.
Hupule chini wamba, kaho Ireeza kamihe inkutwisiso muzintu zonse.
8 Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, of the offspring of David, according to my Good News,
Muhupule Kreste Jesu, kuzwa kwi mbuto ya Davida, yava vuswa kuvamwi va fwire. Ichi chiya che ñusa lye ivangeli yangu.
9 in which I suffer hardship to the point of chains as a criminal. But God’s word isn’t chained.
Kecho ni nyanda mane kusika he nako yo kusuminwa sina ni chisinyi. Kono linzwi lya Ireeza kali suminwe.
10 Therefore I endure all things for the chosen ones’ sake, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. (aiōnios g166)
Yahaho niva nyandi muzintu zonse kwavo vava ku ketetwe, kuti niva wole kuwana impuluso ina mwa Kreste Jesu, ni nkanya iya ku mamanimani. (aiōnios g166)
11 This saying is trustworthy: “For if we died with him, we will also live with him.
Ichi chiwambo chi sepahala: “haiva tuva fwi naye, ka twikale naye hape.
12 If we endure, we will also reign with him. If we deny him, he also will deny us.
Haiva tu wonderela, katu vuse naye hape. Haiva ni tu musampula, katu sampule naye.
13 If we are faithless, he remains faithful; for he can’t deny himself.”
Haiva katu sepahali, ushala na sepahala, kakuli ka woli ku lisampula iye mwine.
14 Remind them of these things, charging them in the sight of the Lord that they don’t argue about words to no profit, to the subverting of those who hear.
Uwondelele kuva hupulisa ke zi zintu. Uva kalimele havusu bwe ireeza kuti kanji va lilwisi ku amana ni ziyambo. Kelyi vaka kakwina chintu chimwi cho vutokwa. Kelyi vaka kwina kusinya sinya kwavo va teka.
15 Give diligence to present yourself approved by God, a workman who doesn’t need to be ashamed, properly handling the Word of Truth.
Pange chi woleka kuti uve zumwi wa zuminwa kwa Ireeza, muveleki u sena cho kuswava, yo luta inako yonse inzwi lye niti.
16 But shun empty chatter, for it will go further in ungodliness,
Uzwe kwi ndava zo kuwamba wamba, zimi twala kuku nyazeleza ku mizwisa mwi nzila ina hande.
17 and those words will consume like gangrene, of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus:
Ku wamba kwavo kaku yende. Mukati kavo va Hymenaeus nima Philetus.
18 men who have erred concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection is already past, and overthrowing the faith of some.
Ava nji vakwame va sena vava zuwa vuniti. Va wamba kuti ku vuka kuvafwire ckiva pangahali kale. Va chinca i ntumelo i vamwi.
19 However, God’s firm foundation stands, having this seal: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Let every one who names the name of the Lord depart from unrighteousness.”
Ni hakuva bulyo, mutomo u kolete wa Ireeza uzimana. Ina nili swayo: “Simwine wizi avo vali vakwe” mi “yense u sumpa izina lya Simwine uswanela kuzwa ku zintu zi sena hande.”'
20 Now in a large house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of clay. Some are for honor and some for dishonor.
Mwi nzuvo i fumite, kakwina fela imponto ze gauda ni silivera. Kwina hape impoto zo kuveza hazi kuni nizo kuvumba he rongo. Zimwi zina musevezi u sepahala, ni zimwi zisa sepahali.
21 If anyone therefore purges himself from these, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified, and suitable for the master’s use, prepared for every good work.
Haiva kwina zumwi yoli joloza kuzi sa sepahali, muntu yo sepahala. Uvikitwe ku mbali, wina musevezi kwa Simwine, mi uvikilwe musevezi mulotu.
22 Flee from youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
Uzwe kwi takazo zovu jaha. Tundamine zi chena, intumelo, irato, ni nkozo navo va sumpa kwa Simwine kuzwa kwi nkulo ichena.
23 But refuse foolish and ignorant questionings, knowing that they generate strife.
Kono mukane vuhole ni mpuzo zi sena hande. Wizi kuti zi zala inkani.
24 The Lord’s servant must not quarrel, but be gentle toward all, able to teach, patient,
Muhikana wa Simwine ka swaneli ku panga inkani. Kono uswanela kuva yo lukite ku vonse, yo wola ku ruta, ni kuwola ku lindila.
25 in gentleness correcting those who oppose him. Perhaps God may give them repentance leading to a full knowledge of the truth,
Uswanela kuva wa chisemo ku luta vana vasa zumini va mulwisa. Mwendi Ireeza kawole kuvaha kuvaka ke ntuto ye niti.
26 and they may recover themselves out of the devil’s snare, having been taken captive by him to do his will.
Kavave vena hande hape niku zwa mutuswa twa dyavulusu, kasamulaho okuva kwata che ntato yakwe.
