2 Timotheo 2
1 Nĩ ũndũ wa ũguo, wee mũrũ wakwa-rĩ, gĩa na hinya thĩinĩ wa wega wa Ngai ũrĩa ũrĩ thĩinĩ wa Kristũ Jesũ.
Therefore, my son, be strong in the favor which is through Christ Jesus.
2 Namo maũndũ marĩa waiguire ngĩaria mbere ya aira aingĩ-rĩ, mehokere andũ ehokeku arĩa ũũĩ atĩ no mahote kũruta andũ angĩ.
And what things you have heard from me by many witnesses, these commit in trust to faithful men, who shall be fit also to teach others.
3 Ũmĩrĩria gũthĩĩnĩka hamwe na ithuĩ ta ũrĩ mũthigari mwega wa Kristũ Jesũ.
Endure evil as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
4 Gũtirĩ mũndũ ũrutaga wĩra wa mũthigari ũngĩĩohania na maũndũ matarĩ ma ũũthigari: we endaga o gũkenia mũnene wake ũrĩa ũmwathaga.
No man who wars entangles himself with the occupations of this life, that he may please him, who has chosen him to be a soldier.
5 Ũguo no taguo, mũndũ ũrĩa ũhanyũkaga mathako-inĩ ma mahenya ndangĩheo thũmbĩ ya ũhootani atathaakĩte kũringana na ũrĩa gwathanĩtwo.
And also if one contend in the games, he is not crowned unless he contend according to the laws.
6 Ningĩ-rĩ, mũrĩmi ũrĩa wĩnogagia akĩrĩma mũgũnda nĩ we wagĩrĩirwo gũtuĩka wa mbere kwamũkĩra maciaro maguo.
It becomes the husbandman to labor, before he partakes of the fruits.
7 Cũranagia maũndũ marĩa ndĩroiga, nĩgũkorwo Mwathani nĩarĩkũũhĩgagia maũndũ-inĩ macio mothe.
Consider what I say; and may the Lord give you understanding in all things!
8 Atĩrĩrĩ, ririkanaga Jesũ Kristũ, ũrĩa wariũkirio akiuma kũrĩ arĩa akuũ, na aarĩ wa rũciaro rwa Daudi, kũringana na Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega, ũrĩa niĩ hunjagia.
Remember, Jesus Christ, of the seed of David, has been raised from the dead, according to my gospel;
9 Ũhoro ũcio nĩguo niĩ nyariiragĩrwo o nginya ngohwo na mĩnyororo ta ndĩ mũgeri ngero. No kiugo kĩa Ngai ti kĩohe.
for which I suffer evil as a malefactor, even to bonds; but the word of God is not bound.
10 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, niĩ nĩnyũmagĩrĩria maũndũ mothe nĩ ũndũ wa arĩa aamũre, nĩgeetha o nao megĩĩre na ũhonokio ũrĩa ũrĩ thĩinĩ wa Kristũ Jesũ, na magĩe na riiri wa tene na tene. (aiōnios g166)
For this cause I patiently bear all things on account of the elect; that they, indeed, may obtain the salvation which is by Christ Jesus with eternal glory. (aiōnios g166)
11 Ũhoro ũyũ nĩ wa kwĩhokeka, atĩrĩ: Angĩkorwo nĩtwakuire hamwe nake-rĩ, o na gũtũũra nĩtũgaatũũra muoyo hamwe nake;
This saying is true, that if we die with him, we shall also live with him:
12 na tũngĩkirĩrĩria-rĩ, o na gũthamaka nĩtũgaathamaka hamwe nake. No tũngĩmũkaana-rĩ, o nake nĩagatũkaana;
if we suffer patiently, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us.
13 na tũngĩaga kwĩhokeka, we egũtũũra arĩ o mwĩhokeku, nĩgũkorwo we ndangĩhota gwĩkaana.
Though we be unfaithful, he abides faithful; he can not deny himself.
14 Ririkanagia andũ maũndũ macio. Makaanagie ũrĩ mbere ya Ngai nĩguo matige gũkararanĩria ndeto itarĩ kĩene; ndeto icio itirĩ kĩguni, no gũthũkia ithũkagia arĩa maciiguaga.
Put them in remembrance of these things; earnestly testifying to them in the presence of the Lord, not to fight about words for nothing useful, but to the subverting of the hearers.
15 Geria mũno wĩonanagie harĩ Ngai wĩ mwĩtĩkĩrĩku, na wĩ mũruti-wĩra ũtarĩ ũndũ ũngĩmũconora, na ũrutanage ũhoro ũrĩa wa ma ũrũngĩrĩirie.
Strive to exhibit yourself to God an approved workman, irreproachable, rightly dividing the word of truth.
16 Ehagĩrĩra mĩario ĩtarĩ ya gwĩtigĩra Ngai, tondũ arĩa mekenagia na ndeto icio makĩragĩrĩria kwaga gwĩtigĩra Ngai.
But profane empty babblings resist, for they will increase to more ungodliness.
17 Ũrutani wao ũtheaga ta kĩronda kĩa ndĩĩra. Amwe ao nĩ Humenayo, na Fileto,
And their word will eat as a gangrene: for whom are Hymeneus and Philetus;
18 arĩa maturuurĩte na magatiga ũhoro wa ma. Moigaga atĩ ũhoro wa kũriũka nĩũrĩkĩtie kũhĩtũka, na nĩ mathũkĩtie wĩtĩkio wa andũ amwe.
who, concerning the truth, have erred, affirming that the resurrection has already happened, and do subvert the faith of some.
19 No rĩrĩ, mũthingi ũrĩa mũrũmu wa Ngai nĩwĩhaandĩte wega naguo wĩkĩrĩtwo rũũri na ciugo ici: “Mwathani nĩoĩ andũ arĩa marĩ ake,” na ningĩ atĩrĩ, “Ũrĩa wothe uumbũraga rĩĩtwa rĩa Mwathani no nginya agarũrũke atigane na waganu.”
Nevertheless, the foundation of God stands firm, having this inscription, The Lord has made known them who are his: -- and, Let every one who names the name of Christ, depart from iniquity.
20 Thĩinĩ wa nyũmba yothe nene-rĩ, to indo cia thahabu na betha ikoragwo kuo ciiki, no nĩ kũrĩ indo cia mĩtĩ na cia rĩũmba; imwe nĩ cia wĩra ũrĩa mũtĩĩe, na imwe nĩ cia wĩra ũrĩa ũtangĩtĩĩka.
But, in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earthenware; some to honor, and some to dishonor.
21 Mũndũ angĩĩtheria kuuma kũrĩ maũndũ macio matangĩtĩĩka, no atuĩke ta kĩndũ gĩa kũruta wĩra wa gĩtĩĩo, kĩndũ gĩtherie, kĩrĩa kĩagĩrĩire Mwathi wa nyũmba ĩyo na kĩhaarĩirio gĩa kũrutaga wĩra o wothe mwega.
If, then, a man will cleanse himself well from these, he will be a vessel appointed to honor, sanctified, and very profitable for the master's use, prepared for every good work.
22 Na rĩrĩ, ũragĩra merirĩria mooru ma wĩthĩ, na ũthingatage ũthingu, na wĩtĩkio, na wendani, na thayũ, mũrĩ hamwe na arĩa makayagĩra Mwathani marĩ na ngoro theru.
Flee, therefore, youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, with them who call on the Lord from a pure heart.
23 Reganaga na ngarari cia ũrimũ na cia ũkĩĩgu, tondũ nĩũĩ irehage ngũĩ.
Moreover, foolish and ignorant questions reject, knowing that they beget contentions;
24 Nayo ndungata ya Ngai ndĩagĩrĩirwo nĩ gũtuĩka ya ngũĩ; handũ ha ũguo, yagĩrĩirwo nĩgũtuĩka ya gũtuga mũndũ o wothe, na ĩrĩ mũndũ wĩ na ũhoti wa kũrutana, na ĩrĩ mũndũ mũkirĩrĩria.
and the servant of the Lord must not be contentious, but gentle toward all men, fit to teach, patiently bearing evil,
25 Ningĩ arutage arĩa mamũkararagia ahooreire, arĩ na mwĩhoko atĩ Ngai no atũme merire, nĩguo mamenye ũhoro wa ma,
in meekness instructing those who set themselves in opposition; if, by any means God will give them reformation to the acknowledgment of truth;
26 na atĩ matuĩke a gwĩcookera, na meteithũkie mũtego-inĩ wa mũcukani ũrĩa ũmanyiitĩte mĩgwate nĩguo mekage ũrĩa ekwenda.
and they may awake up out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.
