2 Timoteo 2
1 Sika ngarud, anakko, pumigsaka iti parabur nga adda kenni Jesu-Cristo.
You must, then, my child, find strength in the help which comes from the union with Christ Jesus;
2 Ken dagiti banag a nangngegam kaniak, kadagiti adu a saksi, italekmo kadagiti napudno a tattao a makabael met a mangisuro kadagiti sabali.
and what you learnt from me, in the presence of many listeners, entrust to reliable people, who will be able in their turn to teach others.
3 Makipagsagabaka iti rigat kaniak, a kas nasayaat a suldado ni Cristo-Jesus.
Share hardships with me, as a true soldier of Christ Jesus.
4 Awan ti soldado nga agserbi kabayatan a karaman isuna kadagiti aramid iti daytoy a biag, tapno mabalin a maay-ayona ti kangatoan nga opisialna.
A soldier on active service, to please his superior officer, always avoids entangling himself in the affairs of ordinary life.
5 Kasta met a no makisalisal ti siasinoman a kas atleta, saan isuna a makoronaan malaksid no makisalisal babaen kadagiti pagannurotan.
No athlete is ever awarded the wreath of victory unless they have kept the rules.
6 Kasapulan nga umuna nga umawat iti bingayna ti nagaget a mannalon.
The laborer who does the work should be the first to receive a share of the fruits of the earth.
7 Panunotem no ania ti ibagbagak, ta ti Apo ti mangipaay kenka iti pannakaawat iti amin a banag.
Reflect on what I say; the Lord will always help you to understand.
8 Laglagipem ni Jesu- Cristo, a nagtaud iti kaputotan ni David, a napagungar manipud kadagiti natay. Daytoy ket segun iti mensahek maipapan iti ebanghelio,
Keep before your mind Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, a descendant of David, as told in the good news entrusted to me;
9 nga isu iti pagsagsagabaak agingga iti pannakaikawarko a kas maysa a kriminal. Ngem ti sao ti Dios ket saan a naikawar.
in the service of which I am suffering hardships, even to being put in fetters as a criminal. But the message of God is not fettered;
10 Ngarud, inibturak dagiti amin a banbanag gapu kadagidiay a napili, tapno magun-odda met ti pannakaisalakan nga adda kenni Cristo Jesus, nga addaan iti agnanayon a gloria. (aiōnios g166)
and that is why I submit to anything for the sake of God’s people: so that they also may obtain the salvation which comes from union with Christ Jesus, and imperishable glory. (aiōnios g166)
11 Mapagtalkan daytoy a pagsasao; “No nataytayo a kaduana, makipagbiagtayto met kenkuana.
How true this saying is – ‘If we have shared his death, we will also share his life.
12 No makaibturtayo, makipagturaytayto met kenkuana. No ilibaktayo isuna, ilibaknatayto met.
If we continue to endure, we will also share his throne. If we should ever disown him, he, too, will disown us.
13 No saantayo a napudno, agtalinaedto latta isuna a napudno, ta saanna a mailibak ti bagina.”
If we lose our trust, he is still to be trusted, for he cannot be false to himself!’
14 Kanayon nga ipalagipmo kadakuada dagitoy a banbanag. Ballaagam ida iti sangoanan ti Dios a saanda nga agaapa maipapan kadagiti sasao. Gapu ta awan ti naimbag a maipaayna. Gapu iti daytoy, adda pannakadadael kadagidiay agdengdengngeg.
Remind people of all this; tell them solemnly, as in the sight of God, to avoid controversy, a useless thing and the ruin of those who listen to it.
15 Aramidem ti kabaelam a mangiparang iti bagim a makaay-ayo iti Dios, kas iti mangmangged a saan a mabain. Isurom a nasayaat ti sao ti kinapudno.
Do your utmost to show yourself true to God, a worker with no reason to be ashamed, accurate in delivering the message of the truth.
16 Liklikam ti narugit a sarita, nga ad-adda a mangigamer iti saan a nadiosan a panagbiag.
Avoid profane prattle. Those who indulge in it only get deeper into irreligious ways,
17 Agwaras dagiti sasaoda a kasla gangrene. Mairaman kadakuada da Himenio ken Fileto.
and their teaching will spread like a cancer. Hymenaeus and Philetus are instances of this.
18 Limmisi dagitoy a lallaki iti kinapudno. Ibagbagada a ti panagungar ket napasamaken. Inupayda ti pammati dagiti dadduma.
They have gone completely astray as regards the truth; they say that a resurrection has already taken place, and so upset some people’s faith.
19 Nupay kasta, ti natibker a pundasion ti Dios ket sitatakder. Naikitikit iti daytoy ti kastoy: “Ammo ti Apo dagiti kukuana” ken “Tunggal maysa a mangawag iti nagan ti Apo ket nasken a sumina manipud iti saan a nalinteg a panagbiag.”
Yet God’s firm foundation still stands unmoved, and it bears this inscription – ‘THE LORD KNOWS THOSE WHO ARE HIS’; and this – ‘LET ALL THOSE WHO USE THE NAME OF THE LORD TURN AWAY FROM WICKEDNESS.’
20 Iti nabaknang a pagtaengan, saan laeng a balitok ken pirak dagiti pagkargaan. Adda met dagiti pagkargaan a kayo ken banga. Mausar dadduma kadagitoy iti nadayaw a pakausaran ken dagiti dadduma ket mausar iti saan a nadayaw.
Now in a large house there are not only things of gold and silver, but also others of wood and earthenware, some for better and some for common use.
21 No dalusan ti maysa a tao ti bagina manipud iti saan a nadayaw a pannakausar, isuna ket nadayaw a pagkargaan. Nailasin isuna, adda pakausaranna iti Apo, ken nakasagana para iti tunggal nasayaat a trabaho.
If, then, a person has escaped from the pollution of such errors as I have mentioned, they will be like a thing kept for better use, set apart, serviceable to its owner, ready for any good purpose.
22 Adaywam dagiti paggarteman ti kinaagtutubo. Gun-odem ti kinalinteg, pammati, ayat, ken kapia a kaduam dagidiay umaw-awag iti Apo a nagtaud iti nadalus a puso.
Flee from the passions of youth, but pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, in the company of those who, with a pure heart, invoke the Lord.
23 Ngem pagkedkedam dagiti minamaag ken awan mamaayna a salsaludsod. Ammom a dagitoy ti pangrugian iti panagsusuppiat.
Shun foolish and ignorant discussions, for you know that they only breed quarrels;
24 Nasken a saan a makiapa ti adipen ti Apo. Ngem ketdi, naalumanay koma isuna kadagiti amin, kabaelanna ti mangisuro, ken naanus.
and a servant of the Lord should never quarrel. They ought, on the contrary, to be courteous to everyone, skillful teachers, and forbearing.
25 Masapul nga isuruanna, nga addaan kinaemma, dagiti mangsuppiat kenkuana. Ket mabalin nga ikkan ida ti Dios iti panagbabawi, iti pannakaammo iti kinapudno.
They should instruct their opponents in a gentle spirit; for, possibly, God may give those opponents a repentance that will lead to a fuller knowledge of truth,
26 Ket mabalin a makaamirisda ket panawanda ti palab-og ti diablo, kalpasan iti panangtiliwna kadakuada para iti pagayatanna.
and they may yet come to a sober mind, and escape from the devil’s net, when captured by the Lord’s servant to do the will of God.
