2 Timoti 4
1 Ya mere, ana m adụsi gị ọdụ ike nʼihu Chineke na nʼihu Kraịst Jisọs, onye ga-ekpe ndị dị ndụ na ndị nwụrụ anwụ ikpe. Ejikwa m ọbịbịa ya na alaeze ya na-asị gị,
This is what I instruct you to do before God and Christ Jesus who will judge the living and the dead when he comes to establish his kingdom.
2 kwusaa okwu ahụ mgbe niile; dịkwa njikere, mgbe o kwesiri ekwesi na mgbe ọ na-ekwesighị, jiri ya nye ntụziaka, jiri ya baa mba, jirikwa ya gbaa ndị mmadụ ume, site na ntachiobi na ilezi anya inye ezi ndụmọdụ.
Speak God's word whether it is convenient or not, tell people where they're going wrong, warn them, encourage them. Do this with a great deal of patient teaching.
3 Nʼihi na oge na-abịa mgbe ụfọdụ mmadụ na-agaghị anagidekwa eziokwu ahụ, kama ha ga-agagharị ịchọ ndị ozizi ha ga-eji gbaa onwe ha gburugburu, ndị ga-ezi ha ihe ha chọrọ ịnụ.
For the time is coming when people won't bother to listen to true teaching. Instead they will be curious to listen to something different, and will surround themselves with teachers who'll tell them what they want to hear.
4 Ha agaghị ege ntị nʼeziokwu ahụ, kama ha ga-ege ntị nʼakụkọ na-enweghị isi.
They will stop listening to the truth and wander off following myths.
5 Ma guzosie ike, nọọ na nche mgbe niile, na-edi ahụhụ, na-arụkwa ọrụ gị dịka onye oziọma. Rụzukwaa ihe ị kwesiri ịrụ nʼọrụ gị.
You need to keep your wits about you at all times. Put up with troubles, do the work of sharing the good news, fulfill your ministry.
6 Nʼihi na ugbu a, abụrụla m rịị onye a na-awụpụ dị ka aja ihe ọṅụṅụ, oge ụla m eruokwala.
For I'm about to be sacrificed—the time of my death is approaching.
7 Alụsịala m ọgụ ọma ahụ, agbasịala m ọsọ ahụ, edebezuokwala m okwukwe ahụ.
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept my trust in God.
8 Ugbu a, e deberela m okpueze nke ezi omume, nke Onyenwe anyị, onye ikpe ezi omume ahụ, ga-enye m nʼụbọchị ahụ. Ma ọ bụghị naanị m ka ọ ga-enye ya, kama ọ ga-enyekwa ya ndị ahụ niile ọ na-agụsị agụ ike ịhụ ya anya.
Now there's a prize reserved for me—the crown for a life lived according to what is good and right. The Lord, (who is the judge that always does what's right), will give that to me on that Day. And not just to me, but to everyone who longs for his coming.
9 Gbalịsie ike ịbịakwute m ọsịịsọ,
Please try to come to me as soon as you can.
10 nʼihi na Dimas onye hụrụ ihe ndụ a nʼanya ahapụla m gaa Tesalonaịka. Kresens agaala Galeshịa, Taịtọs agakwaala Dalmetia. (aiōn g165)
Demas has abandoned me because he loves the things of this world more, and has gone to Thessalonica. Crescens has gone to Galatia, and Titus to Dalmatia. (aiōn g165)
11 Ọ bụ naanị Luk nọnyere m. Mgbe ị na-abịa, kpọta Mak nʼihi na ọ ga-enyere m aka nʼije ozi m.
Only Luke is here with me. Bring Mark with you, because he can help me with my work.

When you come please bring the cloak I left behind with Carpus in Troas—and the books, especially the parchments.
14 Alegzanda onye na-akpụ ọla emeela m ọtụtụ ihe ọjọọ. Onyenwe anyị ga-akwụghachi ya dị ka ihe o mere m si dị.
Alexander the coppersmith caused me a lot of trouble—may God judge him for what he did.
15 Kpachara anya nʼebe ọ nọ, nʼihi na o guzosiri ike megide ihe niile anyị kwuru.
You watch out for him too, because he was very much against what we were saying.
16 Na mbụ, mgbe m pụtara ikpere ọnụ m, ọ dịghị onye kwụnyeere m. Ha niile gbahapụrụ m. Ka a hapụ ịgụnyere ha omume a dị ka mmehie.
When it came to my first defense, no-one stood up for me—everyone abandoned me. May they not be blamed for this.
17 Ma Onyenwe anyị nọnyeere m, nyekwa m ike ikwusa oziọma ka ndị mba ọzọ niile nụrụ ya. Ọ zọpụtara m, site nʼọnụ ọdụm.
But the Lord stood by me and gave me strength so that I could declare the whole of the message so that all the foreigners could hear it. I was rescued out of the lion's mouth!
18 Onyenwe anyị ga-azọpụtakwa m site nʼihe ọjọọ niile ọbụla, kpọbata m nʼudo baa nʼalaeze eluigwe ya. Ọ bụ ya ka otuto dịrị ruo mgbe niile ebighị ebi. Amen. (aiōn g165)
The Lord will rescue me from all the evil things done against me, and will bring me safely to his heavenly kingdom. His is the glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
19 Keleere m Prisila na Akwila na ndị niile bi nʼụlọ Onisiferọs.
My greetings to Prisca and Aquila, and to Onesiphorus's family.
20 Erastọs nọ na Kọrint, ma ahapụrụ m Trofimọs na Melitọs nʼọnọdụ ahụ esighị ike.
Erastus stayed on in Corinth. I left Trophimus behind in Miletus because he was sick.
21 Jisie ike bịarute nʼebe a tupu oge oyi eruo. Yubulọs na-ekele gị, ya na Pudins, na Lainọs na Klọdia na ụmụnna anyị niile.
Please try to come before winter. Eubulus sends his best wishes—and Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brothers and sisters too.
22 Ka Onyenwe anyị nọnyere mmụọ gị. Ka amara dịnyere gị.
The Lord be with you. May his grace be with you all.
