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
I ADJURE thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the living and the dead at his appearing and 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.
preach the word, be urgent, in season, out of season; reprove, enjoin, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine.
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 will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own inclinations will set up a herd of teachers for themselves, having the itch of hearing;
4 Womaɖo to nu si nyateƒe la le fiafiam o, ke boŋ woadze woawo ŋutɔ ƒe susu tatrawo yome dzidzɔtɔe.
and will turn away their ears from the truth, and listen unto fables.
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.
But watch thou in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fully discharge thy ministry.
6 Elabena nye la, wole trɔyem ƒo ɖi xoxo abe nunovɔsa ene, eye nye ɣeyiɣi de na dzodzo.
For I am now ready to be sacrificed, and the time of my dissolution approaches.
7 Meʋli ʋiʋli nyui la, mewu duɖimekeke la nu, eye melé xɔse la me ɖe asi.
I have struggled hard in the honourable contest, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith:
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.
henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, shall give me at that day: yet not to me only, but also to all who have loved his appearing.
9 Do vevi be nàva gbɔnye kaba,
Hasten to come to me shortly:
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)
for Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is gone unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia; 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.
Luke alone is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee; for he is very useful to me in the ministry.
12 Medɔ Tikiko hã ɖe Efeso.
But Tychicus I have sent 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.
The cloke which I left behind me at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest bring, and the books, especially the parchments.
14 Aleksandro, akɔblinutula la wɔ nu vevi geɖem. Aƒetɔ la ahe to nɛ.
Alexander the brazier did me many ill offices: the Lord repay him according to his works:
15 Ke kpɔ nyuie le eŋu, elabena etsi tsitre ɖe nu sia nu si míegblɔ la ŋu.
against whom be thou also on thy guard, for he hath greatly resisted our words.
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.
At my first apology no man stood by me, but all forsook me: (may it not be imputed to them!)
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 strengthened me, that by me the preaching might be fully discharged, and that all the Gentiles might hear; and I was snatched 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)
And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work, and preserve me for his celestial kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
19 Do gbe na Priskila kple Akwila kple ame siwo le Onesiforo ƒe aƒe me la nam.
Salute Priscilla and Aquila, and the house of Onesiphorus.
20 Erasto le Korinto, eye megblẽ Trofimo, ame si dze dɔ la ɖe Mileto.
Erastus hath abode at Corinth: but Trophimus I left behind me at Miletum sick.
21 Dze agbagba nàva ɖo afi sia hafi vuvɔŋɔli naɖo. Eubulo, Pude, Lino, Klaudia kple nɔvi bubuawo katã do gbe na wò.
Hasten to come before winter. Eubulus greeteth thee, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren.
22 Aƒetɔ la nanɔ anyi kple wò gbɔgbɔ. Mawu ƒe amenuveve nanɔ anyi kpli mi katã.
The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit. Grace be with you. Amen. The second epistle to Timothy, appointed the first bishop of the Ephesian church, was written from Rome, when the second time Paul stood before the Caesar Nero.
