2 Timoti 2
1 Ya mere, nwa m, bụrụ onye dị ike site nʼamara ahụ Kraịst Jisọs na-enye.
Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace which is by Jesus the Messiah.
2 Ihe niile nke ị nụrụ nʼọnụ m nʼihu ọtụtụ ndị ama ka ị ga-enyefe nʼaka ndị kwesiri ntụkwasị obi, bụ ndị nwekwara ike izi ndị ọzọ ihe ndị a.
And the things thou hast heard from me by many witnesses, these commit thou to faithful men, who are competent to teach others also.
3 Soro m kere oke nʼahụhụ dị ka ezi onye agha Jisọs Kraịst.
And endure evils, as a good soldier of Jesus the Messiah.
4 Ọ dịghị onye agha ọbụla na-ekekọta onwe ya nʼihe nke ụwa a, kama ọ na-achọ ime ihe ga-atọ onye họpụtara ya dị ka onye agha ụtọ.
No man, on becoming a soldier, entangleth himself with the business of the world; that he may please him who enlisted him.
5 Otu aka ahụ, onye na-agba ọsọ agaghị enweta okpu mmeri, ma ọ bụrụ na ọ gbaghị ọsọ ya dịka usoro iwu ịgba ọsọ si dị.
And if one contend in the games, he is not crowned, unless he contendeth according to the rules.
6 Onye ọrụ ubi na-adọgbu onwe ya nʼọrụ kwesiri ịbụ onye ga-ebu ụzọ rie mkpụrụ sitere nʼubi ya.
The husbandman who laboreth, ought first to feed on his fruits.
7 Na-atụgharị uche nʼihe m kwuru, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị ga-enye gị nghọta nʼime ha niile.
Consider what I say. Our Lord give thee wisdom in all things.
8 Echefula Jisọs Kraịst, onye a kpọlitere site nʼọnwụ, onye sikwa nʼagbụrụ Devid, nke a bụ oziọma m.
Be mindful of Jesus the Messiah, that he arose from the dead; who was of the seed of David, according to my gospel,
9 Ọ bụ nʼihi na m na-ekwu eziokwu ndị a ka m ji nọọ na-ahụ ahụhụ dị otu a dị ka onye ọjọọ, ma otu ọ dị, ekeghị okwu Chineke agbụ.
in which I suffer evils unto bonds, as if an evil-doer: but the word of God is not in bonds.
10 Ya mere, ana m anagide ihe niile nʼihi ndị a họpụtara, ka ha bụrụkwa ndị ga-anata nzọpụta dị nʼime Kraịst Jisọs, na ebube ebighị ebi. (aiōnios g166)
Therefore I endure every thing, for the elect's sake; that they also may obtain life, in Jesus the Messiah, with eternal glory. (aiōnios g166)
11 Nke a bụ okwu kwesiri ntụkwasị obi: Ọ bụrụ na anyị esoro ya nwụọ, anyị ga-esokwa ya dị ndụ.
Faithful is the saying, For if we shall have died with him, we shall also live with him;
12 Ọ bụrụ na anyị anagide, anyị ga-esokwa ya chịa ọchịchị. Ọ bụrụ na anyị ajụ ya, ọ ga-ajụkwa anyị.
and, if we shall have suffered, we shall also reign with him. But if we shall have rejected him, he will reject us.
13 Ọ bụrụ na anyị ekweghị ekwe, ọ ga-anọgide nʼikwesị ntụkwasị obi, nʼihi na o nweghị ike ịjụ onwe ya.
And if we shall have not believed in him, he abideth in his fidelity; for he cannot reject himself.
14 Na-echetara ha nke a, na-agwasikwa ha ike nʼaha Chineke ka ha ghara ịrụ ụka banyere okwu efu. Nʼihi na okwu ndị a abaghị uru, ha na-ewetara ndị na-anụ ya ịla nʼiyi.
Of these things admonish thou them and charge them, before our Lord, that they dispute not, with unprofitable words, to the subversion of those who hear them.
15 Gbalịsie ike ka iche onwe gị nʼihu Chineke dị ka onye a nabatara. Onye ọrụ nke ihere na-apụghị ime, onye na-akọwa eziokwu ahụ nke ọma.
And study to present thyself before God, perfectly, a laborer who is not ashamed, one who correctly announceth the word of truth.
16 Zere onwe gị nʼokwu nzuzu nke rụrụ arụ, nʼihi na ọ na-aga nʼihu iduba ndị mmadụ nʼọnọdụ amaghị Chineke karịa.
Avoid vain discourses, in which there is no profit; for they very much add to the wickedness of those occupied with them.
17 Ozizi ha ga-agbasa dị ka nsị, Haimeniọs na Filetus soo na ndị dị otu a.
And their discourse, like an eating cancer, will lay hold upon many. And one of these is Hymeneus, and another Philetus;
18 Ha ahapụla ịgbaso ụzọ eziokwu ahụ bido na-ekwusa okwu ụgha, na-asị na oge mbilite nʼọnwụ agafeela. Site nʼokwu ha, ha na-ekpu okwukwe mmadụ ụfọdụ ihu nʼala.
who have wandered from the truth, while they say, The resurrection of the dead hath passed: and they subvert the faith of some.
19 Ma ntọala Chineke hiwere na-eguzosi ike. Nʼelu ya ka eji ihe e dere kaa akara: “Onyenwe anyị maara ndị bụ ndị nke ya,” ya na, “Ka onye ọbụla kpọrọ onwe ya onye nke Kraịst kwụsị ibi ndụ ajọ omume.”
But the firm foundation of God standeth; and it hath this seal, The Lord knoweth them who are his: and, Let every one who invoketh the name of our Lord, stand aloof from iniquity.
20 Nʼime ụlọ ukwuu, ọtụtụ ngwa ọrụ dị ya, ndị e ji ọlaedo maọbụ ọlaọcha, maọbụ osisi maọbụ ụrọ kpụọ. Ụfọdụ ka e ji eje ozi nʼoge nkwanye ugwu dị mkpa, ndị ọzọ ka e ji eje ozi nʼoge ọbụla.
But in a great house, there are not only vessels of gold or silver, but also of wood and of pottery; and some of them for honor, and some for dishonor.
21 Ọ bụrụ na onye ọbụla edoo onwe ya ọcha pụọ nʼihe ọjọọ niile, ọ ga-abụ ngwa ọrụ e mere maka ọrụ ndị kwesiri nkwanye ugwu, bụrụkwa onye dị nsọ, onye na-abara Onyenwe ya uru, na onye dị njikere mgbe ọbụla ịrụ ezi ọrụ.
If therefore any one purge himself from these things, he will be a pure vessel for honor, fit for the use of his Lord, and prepared for every good work.
22 Gbanarị ihe ọbụla na-etinye ụdị echiche ọjọọ nke ụmụ okorobịa na-enwe nʼime gị, kama, na-agbaso ezi omume na okwukwe, na ịhụnanya na udo, ka gị na ndị na-akpọkukwa Onyenwe anyị site nʼobi dị ọcha na-emekọrịta.
Fly from all the lusts of youth; and follow after righteousness, and faith, and love, and peace, with them that invoke our Lord with a pure heart.
23 Wezuga onwe gị nʼịrụ ụka nzuzu na nke amaghị ihe niile, nʼihi na ị maara na ha na-eweta ise okwu.
Avoid those foolish discussions which afford no instruction; for thou knowest, that they generate contests.
24 O kwesikwaghị ka ohu Onyenwe anyị bụrụ onye na-ese okwu, kama, ọ ga-abụ onye obiọma nye mmadụ niile, na onye ma otu e si ezi ihe, onye dị njikere ịnagide ihe ọjọọ e mere ya.
And a servant of our Lord ought not to contend, but to be mild towards every one, and instructive, and patient;
25 Ọ ga-ejiri obi dị nwayọ mgbe ọ na-adụ ndị iro ya ọdụ. Eleghị anya Chineke nwere ike mee ka ha chegharịa, bịa mata eziokwu.
that with mildness he may enlighten those who dispute against him, if perhaps God may give them repentance, and they may acknowledge the truth,
26 Mgbe ahụ, ha nwere ike gbanahụ ọnya ekwensu, ka o jidechara ha ka ha mee uche ya.
and may recollect themselves, and may escape out of the snare of Satan, at whose pleasure they have been held ensnared.
