2 Timotheo 4
1 Atĩrĩrĩ, niĩ ndĩ mbere ya Ngai na ya Kristũ Jesũ, ũrĩa ũgaatuĩra ciira andũ arĩa marĩ muoyo na arĩa makuĩte, na nĩ ũndũ wa gũũka gwake na ũthamaki wake-rĩ, ngũgũtaara atĩrĩ:
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 Hunjagia Ũhoro wa Ngai; ikaraga wĩhaarĩirie hĩndĩ ĩrĩa yagĩrĩire na ĩrĩa ĩtagĩrĩire; ningĩ rũithagĩria andũ mahĩtia mao, na ũmakaanagie, na ũmomagĩrĩrie, wĩ na ũkirĩrĩria mũnene na ũrutani mũbarĩrĩre.
proclaim the message, be urgent in season and out of season; convince, rebuke, encourage, with never-failing patience and teaching.
3 Nĩgũkorwo ihinda nĩrĩgooka rĩrĩa andũ makaaregana na ũrutani ũrĩa wagĩrĩire. No nĩguo mahingie merirĩria mao-rĩ, nĩmakeyũnganĩria arutani aingĩ nĩguo mameerage maũndũ marĩa matũ mao mekwenda kũigua.
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 Nĩmakahũgũra matũ mao matige kũigua ũhoro wa ma, na magarũrũkĩre ngʼano cia tũhũ.
They will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn aside to myths.
5 No wee-rĩ, ikaraga wĩiguĩte maũndũ-inĩ mothe, na ũmĩrĩrie kũnyariirwo, ningĩ rutaga wĩra wa kũhunjia ũhoro wa Ngai, na ũhingagie mawĩra mothe ma ũtungata waku.
But as for you, be always self-controlled, face hardships, do the work of a missionary, discharge all the duties of your ministry.
6 Nĩgũkorwo nĩnyambĩrĩirie gũitwo thĩ ta iruta rĩa kũnyuuo, narĩo ihinda rĩakwa rĩa kuuma gũkũ nĩrĩkinyu.
I for my part am a libation already being poured in sacrifice; and the time of my unmooring is at hand.
7 Nĩndũĩte mbaara ĩrĩa njega, narĩo ihenya rĩakwa rĩgakinya mũthia, o na nĩndũũrĩte menyereire wĩtĩkio wakwa.
I have fought in the glorious contest; I have run the race; I have kept the faith.
8 Rĩu nĩnjigĩirwo thũmbĩ ĩrĩa ya ũthingu, ĩrĩa Mwathani, ũrĩa ũtuaga ciira na kĩhooto, akaahe mũthenya ũcio, na to niĩ nyiki akaahe, no ningĩ nĩ andũ othe arĩa makoretwo merirĩirie kũguũranĩrio gwake.
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 Geria mũno o ũrĩa wahota ũũke kũrĩ niĩ na ihenya,
Do your best to come to me speedily,
10 nĩgũkorwo Dema, tondũ wa kwenda maũndũ ma thĩ ĩno, nĩandiganĩirie na agathiĩ Thesalonike. Nake Keresike nĩathiĩte Galatia, na Tito agathiĩ Dalamatia. (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 nowe tũrĩ nake gũkũ. Oya Mariko mũũke nake, tondũ nĩ ũteithio harĩ niĩ ũtungata-inĩ wakwa.
Luke only is with me. Pick up Mark, and bring him with you, for he is useful to me in my ministry.
12 Nĩndatũmire Tukiko kũu Efeso.
Tychicus I have sent to Ephesus.
13 Ũgĩũka-rĩ, ndehera kabuti karĩa ndatigire gwa Karipo kũrĩa Teroa, na ũndehere mabuku makwa ma gĩkũnjo, na makĩria njũa iria cia kwandĩkwo.
When you come, bring the cloak I left in Troas with Carpus; also my books, but especially my parchments.
14 Alekisandero ũrĩa mũturi wa indo cia rũthuku nĩanjĩkire ũũru mũno. Mwathani nĩwe ũkaamũrĩha kũringana na ciĩko ciake.
Alexander, the coppersmith, manifested bitter hostility toward me. The Lord will requite him according to his works.
15 O nawe mwĩmenyerere, tondũ nĩakararirie ndũmĩrĩri iitũ na hinya.
Be also on your guard against him, for he has violently opposed my arguments.
16 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ndaciirithirio rĩa mbere-rĩ, gũtirĩ mũndũ wokire kũndeithia, andũ othe nĩmandiganĩirie. Maroaga gũtuĩrwo ũũru.
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 No Mwathani nĩarũgamire na niĩ na akĩnjĩkĩra hinya, nĩgeetha ndũmĩrĩri ĩhunjio biũ nĩ ũndũ wakwa na andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ othe mamĩigue. Na niĩ ngĩhonokio kuuma kanua ka mũrũũthi.
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 Mwathani nĩakahonokia ũũru-inĩ o wothe, na andware ũthamaki-inĩ wake wa igũrũ, nake arogoocagwo tene na tene. Ameni. (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 Geithia Pirisila na Akula, na andũ a nyũmba ya Onesiforo.
Give my greetings to Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus.
20 Erasito aatigirwo Korinitho, na niĩ ngĩtiga Terefimo kũu Mileto arĩ mũrũaru.
Erastus remained at Corinth; Trophimus I left behind me ill at Miletus.
21 Geria ũkinye gũkũ mbere ya ihinda rĩa heho. Nĩwageithio nĩ Eubulu, o na Pudene, na Lino, na Kilaudia, na ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ othe.
Do try to come before winter. Eubulus greets you, and so do Pudens and Linus and Claudia and all the brotherhood.
22 Mwathani aroikaria roho waku. Wega wa Ngai ũroikara hamwe nawe.
The Lord Jesus be with your spirit. Grace be with you all.
