2 Timothy 2

1 Thou, therefore, my child, be strong in the grace that [is] in Christ Jesus,

Naizvozvo iwe, mwana wangu, simba munyasha dziri muna Kristu Jesu.

2 and the things that thou didst hear from me through many witnesses, these things be committing to stedfast men, who shall be sufficient also others to teach;

Nezvinhu zvawakanzwa kwandiri pakati pezvapupu zvizhinji, uzvikumikidze izvozvo kuvanhu vakatendeka vachagonawo kudzidzisa vamwe.

3 thou, therefore, suffer evil as a good soldier of Jesus Christ;

Naizvozvo iwe utambudzike zvakaoma, semurwi wakanaka waJesu Kristu.

4 no one serving as a soldier did entangle himself with the affairs of life, that him who did enlist him he may please;

Hakuna munhu anobata semurwi anozvipinganidza nezviitiko zveupenyu, kuti afadze uyo wakamupinza basa.

5 and if also any one may strive, he is not crowned, except he may strive lawfully;

Uye kana munhuwo achikwikwidza, haashongedzwi korona kana asina kukwikwidza zviri pamurairo.

6 the labouring husbandman it behoveth first of the fruits to partake;

Murimi anobata zvakasimba anofanira kutanga kugamuchira zvibereko.

7 be considering what things I say, for the Lord give to thee understanding in all things.

Fungisisa zvandinoreva; uye Ishe ngaakupe kunzwisisa pazvinhu zvese.

8 Remember Jesus Christ, raised out of the dead, of the seed of David, according to my good news,

Rangarira Jesu Kristu wakamutswa kubva kuvakafa, wembeu yaDhavhidhi, zvichienderana neevhangeri yangu;

9 in which I suffer evil — unto bonds, as an evil-doer, but the word of God hath not been bound;

yandinotambudzika mairi zvakaipa, kusvikira pazvisungo, semuiti wezvakaipa; asi shoko raMwari harina kusungwa.

10 because of this all things do I endure, because of the choice ones, that they also salvation may obtain that [is] in Christ Jesus, with glory age-during. (aiōnios g166)

Saka ndinotsungirira zvinhu zvese nekuda kwevakasanangurwa, kuti naivo vawane ruponeso rwuri muna Kristu Jesu, pamwe nekubwinya kusingaperi. (aiōnios g166)

11 Stedfast [is] the word: For if we died together — we also shall live together;

Shoko iri rakatendeka; nokuti kana takafa pamwe naye, tichararamawo pamwe naye.

12 if we do endure together — we shall also reign together; if we deny [him], he also shall deny us;

Kana tikatsungirira, tichatongawo pamwe naye; kana tikamuramba, naiye achatiramba.

13 if we are not stedfast, he remaineth stedfast; to deny himself he is not able.

Kana tisingatendeki, iye anoramba akatendeka; iye haagoni kuzviramba.

14 These things remind [them] of, testifying fully before the Lord — not to strive about words to nothing profitable, but to the subversion of those hearing;

Uvarangaridze zvinhu izvi, uchirairisa pamberi paIshe kusapikisa pamashoko kusingabatsiri chinhu asi kutsausa vanonzwa.

15 be diligent to present thyself approved to God — a workman irreproachable, rightly dividing the word of the truth;

Shingaira kuti uzviratidze kuna Mwari uri wakatendeka, mushandi asingafaniri kunyadziswa, anonyatsoruramisa shoko rechokwadi.

16 and the profane vain talkings stand aloof from, for to more impiety they will advance,

Asi nzvenga kutaura kwetsvina kusina maturo; nokuti vacharamba vachingonyanya pakusatya Mwari,

17 and their word as a gangrene will have pasture, of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus,

neshoko ravo richanyenga segomarara; pakati pavo pana Himenayosi naFiretosi;

18 who concerning the truth did swerve, saying the rising again to have already been, and do overthrow the faith of some;

ivo vakatsauka pachokwadi, vachiti kumuka kwatovapo, vachipidigura rutendo rwevamwe.

19 sure, nevertheless, hath the foundation of God stood, having this seal, 'The Lord hath known those who are His,' and 'Let him depart from unrighteousness — every one who is naming the name of Christ.'

Kunyange zvakadaro nheyo yaMwari inomira yakasimba, ine mucherechedzo uyu: Ishe anoziva vari vake, uye kuti: Umwe neumwe anoreva zita raKristu ngaabve pakusarurama.

20 And in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth, and some to honour, and some to dishonour:

Asi muimba huru hamuna midziyo yegoridhe neyesirivheri chete, asiwo yematanda neyevhu, uye imwe ndeyekukudzwa asi imwe ndeyekusakudzwa.

21 if, then, any one may cleanse himself from these, he shall be a vessel to honour, sanctified and profitable to the master — to every good work having been prepared,

Naizvozvo kana munhu achizvinatsa pazvinhu izvi, achava mudziyo wekukudzwa, wakaitwa mutsvene, wakakwanira basa raTenzi, wakagadzirirwa basa rese rakanaka.

22 and the youthful lusts flee thou, and pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace, with those calling upon the Lord out of a pure heart;

Tizawo kuchiva kweudiki, asi uteverere kururama, rutendo, rudo, rugare, pamwe nevanodana kuna Ishe zvichibva pamoyo wakachena.

23 and the foolish and uninstructed questions be avoiding, having known that they beget strife,

Asi mibvunzo yeupenzi neyekusadzidza urambe, uchiziva kuti zvinomutsa kurwa.

24 and a servant of the Lord it behoveth not to strive, but to be gentle unto all, apt to teach, patient under evil,

Zvino muranda waIshe haafaniri kurwa, asi ave munyoro kune vese, anoziva kudzidzisa, ane moyo murefu,

25 in meekness instructing those opposing — if perhaps God may give to them repentance to an acknowledging of the truth,

anoraira neunyoro avo vanozvipikisa, kuti zvimwe Mwari avape kutendeukira kuruzivo rwechokwadi,

26 and they may awake out of the devil's snare, having been caught by him at his will.

uye vapengenuke kubva pamusungo wadhiabhorosi, wavakange vakabatwa naye pakuda kwake.
