< 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 command you therefore before God and Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom:
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.
preach the word; be urgent in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with all 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 the time will come when they will not listen to the sound doctrine, but, having itching ears, will heap up for themselves teachers after their own lusts;
4 Nĩmakahũgũra matũ mao matige kũigua ũhoro wa ma, na magarũrũkĩre ngʼano cia tũhũ.
and 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 you be sober in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.
6 Nĩgũkorwo nĩnyambĩrĩirie gũitwo thĩ ta iruta rĩa kũnyuuo, narĩo ihinda rĩakwa rĩa kuuma gũkũ nĩrĩkinyu.
For I am already being offered, and the time of my departure has come.
7 Nĩndũĩte mbaara ĩrĩa njega, narĩo ihenya rĩakwa rĩgakinya mũthia, o na nĩndũũrĩte menyereire wĩtĩkio wakwa.
I have fought the good fight. I have finished the course. 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.
From now on, there is stored up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give 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,
Be diligent to come to me soon,
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 left me, having loved this present world, and went to Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, and Titus to Dalmatia. (aiōn g165)
11 Luka nowe tũrĩ nake gũkũ. Oya Mariko mũũke nake, tondũ nĩ ũteithio harĩ niĩ ũtungata-inĩ wakwa.
Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with you, for he is useful to me for service.
12 Nĩndatũmire Tukiko kũu Efeso.
But I sent Tychicus 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.
Bring the cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus when you come, and the books, especially the parchments.
14 Alekisandero ũrĩa mũturi wa indo cia rũthuku nĩanjĩkire ũũru mũno. Mwathani nĩwe ũkaamũrĩha kũringana na ciĩko ciake.
Alexander, the coppersmith, did much evil to me. The Lord will repay him according to his works,
15 O nawe mwĩmenyerere, tondũ nĩakararirie ndũmĩrĩri iitũ na hinya.
of whom you also must beware; for he greatly opposed our words.
16 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ndaciirithirio rĩa mbere-rĩ, gũtirĩ mũndũ wokire kũndeithia, andũ othe nĩmandiganĩirie. Maroaga gũtuĩrwo ũũru.
At my first defense, no one came to help me, but all left me. May it not be held against them.
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.
But the Lord stood by me, and strengthened me, that through me the message might be fully proclaimed, and that all the non-Jewish people might hear; and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.
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 deliver me from every evil deed, and will bring me safely into 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.
Greet Prisca and Aquila, and the house of Onesiphorus.
20 Erasito aatigirwo Korinitho, na niĩ ngĩtiga Terefimo kũu Mileto arĩ mũrũaru.
Erastus remained at Corinth, and I left Trophimus at Miletus, ill.
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.
Be diligent to come before winter. Eubulus salutes you, as do Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brothers.
22 Mwathani aroikaria roho waku. Wega wa Ngai ũroikara hamwe nawe.
The Lord be with your spirit. Grace be with you.
