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 you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus who is about to judge the living and the dead - by his appearing and his kingdom, I adjure you -
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.
proclaim the message, be urgent in season and out of season; convince, rebuke, encourage, with never-failing patience and 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 a time will come when they will not listen to wholesome teaching, but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will heap up for themselves teachers upon teachers to satisfy their own fancies.
4 Womaɖo to nu si nyateƒe la le fiafiam o, ke boŋ woadze woawo ŋutɔ ƒe susu tatrawo yome dzidzɔtɔe.
They will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn aside to 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.
But as for you, be always self-controlled, face hardships, do the work of a missionary, discharge all the duties of your ministry.
6 Elabena nye la, wole trɔyem ƒo ɖi xoxo abe nunovɔsa ene, eye nye ɣeyiɣi de na dzodzo.
I for my part am a libation already being poured in sacrifice; and the time of my unmooring is at hand.
7 Meʋli ʋiʋli nyui la, mewu duɖimekeke la nu, eye melé xɔse la me ɖe asi.
I have fought in the glorious contest; I have run 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 the garland of righteousness which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that Day, and not to me only, but also to all those who have loved his appearing.
9 Do vevi be nàva gbɔnye kaba,
Do your best to come to me speedily,
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 has deserted me for love of this present world, and is gone to Thessalonica; Crescens is gone 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 only is with me. Pick up Mark, and bring him with you, for he is useful to me in my ministry.
12 Medɔ Tikiko hã ɖe Efeso.
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.
When you come, bring the cloak I left in Troas with Carpus; also my books, but especially my parchments.
14 Aleksandro, akɔblinutula la wɔ nu vevi geɖem. Aƒetɔ la ahe to nɛ.
Alexander, the coppersmith, manifested bitter hostility toward me. The Lord will requite him according to his works.
15 Ke kpɔ nyuie le eŋu, elabena etsi tsitre ɖe nu sia nu si míegblɔ la ŋu.
Be also on your guard against him, for he has violently opposed my arguments.
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 the time of my first defense no one stood by me; on the contrary they all deserted me - may it not be laid to their charge!
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.
Nevertheless the Lord Jesus stood by me, and strengthened my heart, that through me full proclamation of the gospel might be made, and the Gentiles might hear it; and I was rescued from the lion’s jaws.
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 rescue me from every evil assault, and will preserve me for his heavenly kingdom. To him be 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.
Give my greetings to Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus.
20 Erasto le Korinto, eye megblẽ Trofimo, ame si dze dɔ la ɖe Mileto.
Erastus remained at Corinth; Trophimus I left behind me ill at Miletus.
21 Dze agbagba nàva ɖo afi sia hafi vuvɔŋɔli naɖo. Eubulo, Pude, Lino, Klaudia kple nɔvi bubuawo katã do gbe na wò.
Do try to come before winter. Eubulus greets you, and so do Pudens and Linus and Claudia and all the brotherhood.
22 Aƒetɔ la nanɔ anyi kple wò gbɔgbɔ. Mawu ƒe amenuveve nanɔ anyi kpli mi katã.
The Lord Jesus be with your spirit. Grace be with you all.
