Timoteo 2 4
1 Eya ta mele gbe tem ɖe edzi na wò le Mawu kple Kristo Yesu, ame si adrɔ̃ ʋɔnu ame gbagbewo kple ame kukuwo gbe ɖeka ne eva do be yeaɖo yeƒe fiaɖuƒe la gɔme anyi la ŋkume be
This is what I instruct you to do before God and Christ Jesus who will judge the living and the dead when he comes to establish his kingdom.
2 nàɖe gbeƒã Mawu ƒe nya la kple vevidodo nu ɣeawo katã ɣi, ɣe sia ɣi si nàkpɔ mɔnu ko, vovo li o, vovo meli o. Fia mɔ nyuitɔwo, eye nàka mo na wò amewo ne ehiã. Do ŋusẽ wo be woawɔ nu si dze, eye nàtsɔ Mawu ƒe nya anyi wo kple dzigbɔɖi ɣe sia ɣi.
Speak God's word whether it is convenient or not, tell people where they're going wrong, warn them, encourage them. Do this with a great deal of patient teaching.
3 Elabena ɣeyiɣi aɖe gbɔna esime amewo magaɖo to nyateƒe la o, ke boŋ woanɔ tsatsam anɔ nufiala siwo agblɔ nya siwo woawo ŋutɔ adi be yewoase la dim.
For the time is coming when people won't bother to listen to true teaching. Instead they will be curious to listen to something different, and will surround themselves with teachers who'll tell them what they want to hear.
4 Womaɖo to nu si nyateƒe la le fiafiam o, ke boŋ woadze woawo ŋutɔ ƒe susu tatrawo yome dzidzɔtɔe.
They will stop listening to the truth and wander off following myths.
5 Nɔ te sesĩe, eye mègavɔ̃ fukpekpe le Aƒetɔ la ta o. Kplɔ ame bubuwo vɛ na Kristo. Mègagbe nu sia nu si hiã be nàwɔ la wɔwɔ o.
You need to keep your wits about you at all times. Put up with troubles, do the work of sharing the good news, fulfill your ministry.
6 Elabena nye la, wole trɔyem ƒo ɖi xoxo abe nunovɔsa ene, eye nye ɣeyiɣi de na dzodzo.
For I'm about to be sacrificed—the time of my death is approaching.
7 Meʋli ʋiʋli nyui la, mewu duɖimekeke la nu, eye melé xɔse la me ɖe asi.
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept my trust in God.
8 Ke azɔ la, wodzra dzɔdzɔenyenye ƒe fiakuku ɖo ɖi nam, esi Aƒetɔ, Ʋɔnudrɔ̃la dzɔdzɔe la, anam le ŋkeke ma dzi, eye menye nye ɖeka koe wòana o, ke boŋ ame siwo katã le mɔ kpɔm vevie na eƒe vava.
Now there's a prize reserved for me—the crown for a life lived according to what is good and right. The Lord, (who is the judge that always does what's right), will give that to me on that Day. And not just to me, but to everyone who longs for his coming.
9 Do vevi be nàva gbɔnye kaba,
Please try to come to me as soon as you can.
10 elabena Dema gblẽm ɖi hedzo yi Tesalonika, elabena elɔ̃ xexe sia me. Kresken hã dzo yi Galatia. Nenema ke Tito hã dzo yi Dalmatia. (aiōn g165)
Demas has abandoned me because he loves the things of this world more, and has gone to Thessalonica. Crescens has gone to Galatia, and Titus to Dalmatia. (aiōn g165)
11 Luka koe li kplim. Di Marko, eye nàkplɔe ɖe asi vɛ, elabena ekpena ɖe ŋunye le nye subɔsubɔdɔwɔwɔ me.
Only Luke is here with me. Bring Mark with you, because he can help me with my work.
12 Medɔ Tikiko hã ɖe Efeso.
I sent Tychicus to Ephesus.
13 Ne ègbɔna la, tsɔ awu ʋlaya si megblẽ ɖe Karpo gbɔ le Troa la vɛ nam. Nenema kee nye agbalẽawo hã, vevietɔ lãgbalẽtɔwo.
When you come please bring the cloak I left behind with Carpus in Troas—and the books, especially the parchments.
14 Aleksandro, akɔblinutula la wɔ nu vevi geɖem. Aƒetɔ la ahe to nɛ.
Alexander the coppersmith caused me a lot of trouble—may God judge him for what he did.
15 Ke kpɔ nyuie le eŋu, elabena etsi tsitre ɖe nu sia nu si míegblɔ la ŋu.
You watch out for him too, because he was very much against what we were saying.
16 Zi gbãtɔ si wohem yi ʋɔnudrɔ̃la ŋkume la, ame aɖeke menɔ afi sia akpe ɖe ŋunye o, ame sia ame si dzo. Mele mɔ kpɔm be womabu fɔ wo ɖe nu sia ta o.
When it came to my first defense, no-one stood up for me—everyone abandoned me. May they not be blamed for this.
17 Ke Aƒetɔ la nɔ ŋunye, eye wòna mɔkpɔkpɔm be magblɔ mawunya dzideƒotɔe na xexea me katã. Ekpe ɖe ŋunye hã be wometsɔm na dzatawo o.
But the Lord stood by me and gave me strength so that I could declare the whole of the message so that all the foreigners could hear it. I was rescued out of the lion's mouth!
18 Ɛ̃, Aƒetɔ la aɖem ɣe sia ɣi tso vɔ̃wo katã me, eye wòakplɔm ayi eƒe dziƒofiaɖuƒe la me. Ŋutikɔkɔe woana Mawu tso mavɔ me yi mavɔ me. Amen. (aiōn g165)
The Lord will rescue me from all the evil things done against me, and will bring me safely to his heavenly kingdom. His is the glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
19 Do gbe na Priskila kple Akwila kple ame siwo le Onesiforo ƒe aƒe me la nam.
My greetings to Prisca and Aquila, and to Onesiphorus's family.
20 Erasto le Korinto, eye megblẽ Trofimo, ame si dze dɔ la ɖe Mileto.
Erastus stayed on in Corinth. I left Trophimus behind in Miletus because he was sick.
21 Dze agbagba nàva ɖo afi sia hafi vuvɔŋɔli naɖo. Eubulo, Pude, Lino, Klaudia kple nɔvi bubuawo katã do gbe na wò.
Please try to come before winter. Eubulus sends his best wishes—and Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brothers and sisters too.
22 Aƒetɔ la nanɔ anyi kple wò gbɔgbɔ. Mawu ƒe amenuveve nanɔ anyi kpli mi katã.
The Lord be with you. May his grace be with you all.
