< 2 Timotheo 3 >
1 No rĩrĩ, menya atĩ matukũ ma kũrigĩrĩria nĩgũkagĩa na mahinda ma ũgwati.
But know this, that in the last days terrible times will come.
2 Andũ magaatuĩka eyendi, na endi mbeeca, na egani, na egaathi, na arumani, na andũ mataiguaga aciari ao, na matarĩ ngaatho, na matarĩ atheru.
For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Ningĩ makorwo matarĩ na wendani, na matarekanagĩra, na a gũcambania, na matangĩhota kwĩgirĩrĩria merirĩria ma mwĩrĩ, na matarĩ tha, na matendaga maũndũ mega,
unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, hateful of good,
4 na andũ mendaga gũkunyanĩra andũ arĩa angĩ, na arũgĩrĩri, na eĩkĩrĩri, na endi gwĩkenia gũkĩra ũrĩa mendete Ngai.
treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God;
5 Andũ acio metuaga ta meyamũrĩire Ngai no nĩmakaanaga hinya wake. Wĩthemage andũ ta acio.

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 among them are those who crawl into households and take captive weak-willed women weighed down with sins, led away by various passions and pleasures,
7 Andũ-a-nja acio nĩmerutaga ũndũ mwerũ hĩndĩ ciothe, no matirĩ hĩndĩ mamenyaga ũhoro ũrĩa wa ma.
always learning, and never able to come 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.
Even as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so do these also oppose the truth; people corrupted in mind, disapproved 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 will proceed no further. For their folly will be evident to all, 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 you did follow my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, love, steadfastness,
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, and sufferings: those things that happened to me at Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. I endured those persecutions. 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,
Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.
13 No andũ arĩa aaganu na arĩa aheenania nĩmarĩkĩragĩrĩria kwagana, makaheenanagia na makaheenagio.
But evil people and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.
14 No wee-rĩ, tũũra wĩkaga maũndũ marĩa wĩrutĩte na ũkametĩkia wega atĩ nĩ ma ma, tondũ nĩũĩ arĩa maakũrutire,
But you remain in the things which you have learned and have been assured of, knowing from whom you have 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.
From infancy, you have known the holy Scriptures which are able to make you wise for salvation through 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 is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,
17 nĩgeetha mũndũ wa Ngai akoragwo arĩ mũkinyanĩru, na athagathagĩtwo biũ kũruta wĩra o wothe mwega.
