< 2 Timotheo 3 >

1 No rĩrĩ, menya atĩ matukũ ma kũrigĩrĩria nĩgũkagĩa na mahinda ma ũgwati.
Know also this, that, in the last days, shall come dangerous times.
2 Andũ magaatuĩka eyendi, na endi mbeeca, na egani, na egaathi, na arumani, na andũ mataiguaga aciari ao, na matarĩ ngaatho, na matarĩ atheru.
Men shall be lovers of themselves, covetous, haughty, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, wicked,
3 Ningĩ makorwo matarĩ na wendani, na matarekanagĩra, na a gũcambania, na matangĩhota kwĩgirĩrĩria merirĩria ma mwĩrĩ, na matarĩ tha, na matendaga maũndũ mega,
Without affection, without peace, slanderers, incontinent, unmerciful, without kindness,
4 na andũ mendaga gũkunyanĩra andũ arĩa angĩ, na arũgĩrĩri, na eĩkĩrĩri, na endi gwĩkenia gũkĩra ũrĩa mendete Ngai.
Traitors, stubborn, puffed up, and lovers of pleasures more than of God:
5 Andũ acio metuaga ta meyamũrĩire Ngai no nĩmakaanaga hinya wake. Wĩthemage andũ ta acio.
Having an appearance indeed of godliness, but denying the power thereof. Now these avoid.
6 Acio nĩo arĩa matoonyagĩrĩra nyũmba ciene na makaguucagĩrĩria andũ-a-nja arĩa ahũthũ ngoro, arĩa maiyũrĩtwo nĩ mehia, na arĩa matwaragĩrĩrio nĩ merirĩria mooru ma mĩthemba yothe.
For of these sort are they who creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, who are led away with divers desires:
7 Andũ-a-nja acio nĩmerutaga ũndũ mwerũ hĩndĩ ciothe, no matirĩ hĩndĩ mamenyaga ũhoro ũrĩa wa ma.
Ever learning, and never attaining to the knowledge of the truth.
8 O ta ũrĩa Janne na Jambare maakararirie Musa-rĩ, no taguo andũ acio mehotoraga makararie ũhoro ũrĩa wa ma. Meciiria mao nĩ mooru, nao ha ũhoro ũkoniĩ wĩtĩkio nĩakũregwo biũ.
Now as Jannes and Mambres resisted Moses, so these also resist the truth, men corrupted in mind, reprobate concerning the faith.
9 No rĩrĩ, matingĩthiĩ haraaya, tondũ ũrimũ wao nĩũkamenyeka nĩ andũ othe, o ta ũrĩa ũhoro wa andũ acio wamenyekire.
But they shall proceed no farther; for their folly shall be manifest to all men, as theirs also was.
10 No wee-rĩ, nĩũĩ ũhoro wothe wa ũrutani wakwa, na mũtũũrĩre wakwa, na matanya makwa, na wĩtĩkio wakwa, na ũkirĩrĩria wakwa, na wendani wakwa, na kũũmĩrĩria gwakwa,
But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, patience,
11 na kũnyariirwo gwakwa, na mathĩĩna makwa, o na mĩthemba ya maũndũ marĩa maangorire kũu Antiokia, na Ikonia, o na Lusitera, mĩnyamaro ĩrĩa niĩ ndomĩrĩirie. No Mwathani nĩahonokirie kuuma kũrĩ mathĩĩna macio mothe.
Persecutions, afflictions: such as came upon me at Antioch, at Iconium, and at Lystra: what persecutions I endured, and out of them all the Lord delivered me.
12 Ti-itherũ, mũndũ o wothe ũrĩa ũkwenda gũtũũra mũtũũrĩre wa gũkenia Ngai arĩ thĩinĩ wa Kristũ Jesũ nĩarĩnyariiragwo,
And all that will live godly in Christ Jesus, shall suffer persecution.
13 No andũ arĩa aaganu na arĩa aheenania nĩmarĩkĩragĩrĩria kwagana, makaheenanagia na makaheenagio.
But evil men and seducers shall grow worse and worse: erring, and driving into error.
14 No wee-rĩ, tũũra wĩkaga maũndũ marĩa wĩrutĩte na ũkametĩkia wega atĩ nĩ ma ma, tondũ nĩũĩ arĩa maakũrutire,
But continue thou in those things which thou hast learned, and which have been committed to thee: knowing of whom thou hast learned them;
15 na ũrĩa wamenyire Maandĩko marĩa matheru kuuma rĩrĩa warĩ kaana, marĩa mangĩhota gũkũũhĩgia nĩguo ũkaahonokio nĩ ũndũ wa gwĩtĩkia thĩinĩ wa Kristũ Jesũ.
And because from thy infancy thou hast known the holy scriptures, which can instruct thee to salvation, by the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16 Ũhoro wothe ũrĩa wandĩkĩtwo Maandĩko-inĩ wekĩrirwo thĩinĩ wa mũwandĩki nĩ Ngai, na nĩwagĩrĩire harĩ ũhoro wa kũrutana, na wa gũkaanania, na wa kũrũnga mahĩtia, o na wa kũrutana mĩikarĩre ya ũthingu,
All scripture, inspired of God, is profitable to teach, to reprove, to correct, to instruct in justice,
17 nĩgeetha mũndũ wa Ngai akoragwo arĩ mũkinyanĩru, na athagathagĩtwo biũ kũruta wĩra o wothe mwega.
That the man of God may be perfect, furnished to every good work.
