2 Timoti 3
1 Ma mara nke a, na nʼoge dị oke egwu ga-adị mgbe ikpeazụ.
But of this be assured: in the last days grievous times will set in.
2 Nʼihi na ndị mmadụ ga-abụ ndị na-ahụ naanị onwe ha nʼanya, na ndị na-ahụ ego nʼanya. Ha ga-abụ ndị mpako, na ndị na-anya isi, ndị na-ekwujọ ibe ha, ndị na-adịghị asọpụrụ ndị mụrụ ha, maọbụ ikele ha ekele, na ndị na-adịghị ọcha nʼobi ha.
For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, haughty, profane. They will be disobedient to parents, thankless, irreligious,
3 Ndị na-enweghị ịhụnanya nʼobi ha, ndị na-enweghị obi mgbaghara, ndị na-agba asịrị, ndị na-emebiga ihe ọjọọ oke, ndị na-eme dị ka anụ ọhịa, na ndị ihe ọma na-adịghị atọ ụtọ.
destitute of natural affection, unforgiving, slanderers. They will have no self-control, but will be brutal, opposed to goodness,
4 Ndị na-arara ibe ha nye nʼaka ndị iro ha, ndị isiike, ndị onwe ha juru afọ; ndị na-ahụ ihe ụtọ nke ụwa a nʼanya, kama ịhụ Chineke nʼanya.
treacherous, headstrong, self-important. They will love pleasure instead of loving God,
5 Ha bụ ndị na-ebi ndụ ndị nke Chineke ma ha adịghị egosipụta ike dị na ndụ ahụ. Zere onwe gị nʼebe ndị dị otu a nọ.
and will keep up a make-believe of piety and yet live in defiance of its power. Turn away from people of this sort.
6 Ụfọdụ nʼime ha bụ ndị na-abanye nʼime ụlọ ndị mmadụ na-eduhiekwa ụmụ nwanyị na-enweghị uche, ndị ibu mmehie ha na-anyịgbu, na ndị a pụrụ iduhie nʼihi ọtụtụ ihe ọjọọ na-agụ mkpụrụobi ha agụụ.
Among them are included the men who make their way into private houses and carry off weak women as their prisoners--women who, weighed down by the burden of their sins, are led by ever-changing caprice,
7 Ndị a na-akụziri ihe oge niile, ma ha apụghị inweta amamihe nke eziokwu.
and are always learning something new, and yet are never able to arrive at real knowledge of the truth.
8 Dị ka Jenas na Jembaras si lụso Mosis ọgụ, otu a ka ndị a na-alụsokwa eziokwu ahụ ọgụ. Ha bụ ndị nwere obi rụrụ arụ, na ndị ndụ ha mere ka ha bụrụ ndị a jụrụ ajụ nʼebe okwukwe anyị dị.
And just as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so also these false teachers withstand the truth--being, as they are, men of debased intellects, and of no real worth so far as faith is concerned.
9 Ma ha agaghị aga nʼihu nʼihi na nzuzu ha ga-apụta ihe nʼihu mmadụ niile, dịka nke mmadụ abụọ ahụ.
But they will have no further success; for their folly will be as clearly manifest to all men, as that of the opponents of Moses came to be.
10 Ma ugbu a, ị maara ihe niile banyere ozizi m, na omume m, na ebumnuche m, na okwukwe m na ntachiobi m, na ịhụnanya m, na ndidi m,
But you have intimately known my teaching, life, aims, faith, patience, love, resignation,
11 na mkpagbu m na ahụhụ niile nke dakwasịrị m nʼAntiọk, na Aikoniọm, na Listra. Ị maara ụdị mkpagbu dị iche iche m gabigara. Ma Onyenwe anyị napụtara m site nʼime ha niile.
and the persecutions and sufferings which I have endured; the things which happened to me in Antioch, Iconium and Lystra. You know the persecutions I endured, and how the Lord delivered me out of them all.
12 Nʼezie, ndị niile chọrọ ibi ndụ ịsọpụrụ Chineke nʼime Kraịst Jisọs ga-agabiga mkpagbu.
And indeed every one who is determined to live a godly life as a follower of Christ Jesus will be persecuted.
13 Ma ndị mmadụ ọjọọ na ndị na-ebi ndụ aghụghọ ga-ajọ njọ karịa ka ha dị. Ha ga-eduhie ndị ọzọ, ma bụrụkwa ndị a ga-eduhie.
But bad men and impostors will go on from bad to worse, misleading and being misled.
14 Ma gị onwe gị, nọgidesie ike nʼihe ịmụtara na ihe i kwenyesịrị ike na ya, ebe ị maara onye i si nʼaka ya mụta ha.
But you must cling to the things which you have learnt and have been taught to believe, knowing who your teachers were,
15 Ị maara na ọ bụ site nʼoge ị bụ nwantakịrị ka ihe e dere nʼakwụkwọ nsọ jiri doo gị anya, nke nwere ike ikuziri gị maka nzọpụta site nʼokwukwe i nwere nʼime Kraịst Jisọs.
and that from infancy you have known the sacred writings which are able to make you wise to obtain salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
16 Ihe niile dị nʼakwụkwọ nsọ bụ ihe si nʼuche Chineke pụta. Ha bara uru maka izi anyị ihe, igosi erughị eru anyị, ịtụziri anyị aka nʼụzọ dị mma, na ịzụ anyị nʼụzọ ezi omume:
Every Scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for convincing, for correction of error, and for instruction in right doing;
17 ka onye nke Chineke zuo oke, dịkwa njikere maka ịrụ ezi ọrụ niile ọbụla.
so that the man of God may himself be complete and may be perfectly equipped for every good work.
