2 Timothy 4
1 I command you therefore before God and the Lord Yeshua the Messiah, who will judge the living and the dead at his appearing and his Kingdom:
Ninakupa agizo hili lenye uzito mbele za Mungu na Kristo Yesu, atakaye wahukumu walio hai na wafu, na kwa sababu ya kufunuliwa kwake na Ufalme wake:
2 proclaim the word; be urgent in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort with all patience and teaching.
Hubiri Neno. Uwe tayari kwa wakati ufaao na usiofaa. Waambie watu dhambi zao, kemea, himiza, kwa uvumilivu wote na mafundisho.
3 For the time will come when they will not listen to the sound doctrine, but having itching ears, will heap up for themselves teachers after their own lusts,
Kwa maana wakati utakuja ambao watu hawatachukuliana na mafundisho ya kweli. Badala yake, watajitafutia walimu wa kufundisha kulingana na tamaa zao. kwa njia hii masikio yao yatakuwa yametekenywa.
4 and will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn away to fables.
Wataacha kusikiliza mafundisho ya kweli, na kugeukia hadithi.
5 But you be sober in all things, suffer hardship, do the work of an evangelist, and fulfil your ministry.
Lakini wewe uwe mwaminifu katika mambo yote, vumilia magumu, fanya kazi ya mwinjilisti; timiza huduma yako.
6 For I am already being offered, and the time of my departure has come.
Kwa maana mimi tayari nimekwisha kumiminwa. Muda wa kuondoka kwangu umewadia.
7 I have fought the good fight. I have finished the course. I have kept the faith.
Nimeshindana katika haki, Mwendo nimeumaliza, Imani nimeilinda.
8 From now on, the crown of righteousness is stored up for me, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give to me on that day; and not to me only, but also to all those who have loved his appearing.
Taji ya haki imewekwa kwa ajili yangu, ambayo Bwana, anayehukumu kwa haki, atanipa siku ile. Na siyo kwangu tu bali pia kwa wote wanaongojea kwa shauku kuonekana kwake.
9 Be diligent to come to me soon,
Jitahidi kuja kwagu haraka.
10 for Demas left me, having loved this present world, and went to Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia; and Titus to Dalmatia. (aiōn g165)
Kwa kuwa Dema ameniacha. Anaupenda ulimwengu wa sasa na amekwenda Thesalonike, Kreseni alikwenda Galatia, na Tito alikwenda Dalmatia. (aiōn g165)
11 Only Luke is with me. Take Mark and bring him with you, for he is useful to me for service.
Luka tu ndiye yuko pamoja nami. Umchukue Marko uje naye kwani yeye ni muhimu kwangu katika huduma.
12 But I sent Tychicus to Ephesus.
Nimemtuma Tikiko Efeso.
13 Bring the cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus when you come—and the books, especially the parchments.
Lile joho ambalo nililiacha Troa kwa Karpo, utakapokuja lilete, pamoja na vile vitabu hasa vile vya ngozi.
14 Alexander the coppersmith did much evil to me. The Lord will repay him according to his deeds.
Alekizanda mfua chuma alinitendea maovu mengi. Bwana atamlipa kulingana na matendo yake.
15 Beware of him, for he greatly opposed our words.
Nawe pia jihadhari naye, kwani aliyapinga sana maneno yetu.
16 At my first defence, no one came to help me, but all left me. May it not be held against them.
Katika utetezi wangu wa kwanza, hakuna mtu yeyote aliyesimama pamoja nami, badala yake, kila mmoja aliniacha. Mungu asiwahesabie hatia.
17 But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, that through me the message might be fully proclaimed, and that all the Gentiles might hear. So I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.
Lakini Bwana alisimama pamoja nami, akanitia nguvu ili kwamba kupitia kwangu, neno linenwe kwa ukamilifu na mataifa wapate kusikia. Niliokolewa katika kinywa cha Simba.
18 And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work and will preserve me for his heavenly Kingdom. To him be the glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Bwana ataniepusha na matendo yote maovu na kuniokoa kwa ajili ya ufalme wake wa mbinguni. Utukufu uwe kwake milele na milele. Amen (aiōn g165)
19 Greet Prisca and Aquila, and the house of Onesiphorus.
Msalimie Priska, Akila na nyumba ya Onesiforo.
20 Erastus remained at Corinth, but I left Trophimus at Miletus sick.
Erasto alibaki huko Korintho, lakini Trifimo nilimuacha Mileto akiwa mgonjwa.
21 Be diligent to come before winter. Eubulus salutes you, as do Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brothers.
Fanya hima uje kabla ya kipindi cha baridi. Eubulo anakusalimu, pia Pude, Lino, Claudia na ndugu wote.
22 The Lord Yeshua the Messiah be with your spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.
Mungu awe pamoja na roho yako, Neema iwe nawe.
