2 Timoti 4
1 Inzinu nyinza uginome bukame aje ugomo Asere yeso unu bura uru, desa ma di wuzi anu vengize nan anu wijo u weki utize tini kuba, barki u pokino ume nanti gomotume.
Christ Jesus [is going to come back and] judge those who are living [when he comes] and those who will have died. He will judge them [concerning what rewards they deserve, and] he will rule everyone. So, [knowing that] he and God are watching [everything that we do], I solemnly/earnestly command you
2 Wuza tize tini guran. inko iruba innu ganiya nani daki innu ganiya ba. gbarika, ububuki, uhunguko ti ba, in vat usheu iruba nan nudungara.
that you proclaim the [true] message to people. Always be ready/prepared [to proclaim it], whether people want to hear it or not. [Some people are saying things that are not correct]; (refute their teaching/show why their teaching is wrong). Rebuke them when they are doing wrong. Tell them what they ought to do. Be very patient while you teach them.
3 U ganiya u eze ugebe sa anu udi da tonnome udungara uni ce ba, anyo anime. wadi orso a ce awe anu dungara barki mei maje amu ruba mu we, Wadi meki ubo uwe im umbe sa titui tuwe ti nyara.
[Do these things] because there will be a time when people will not listen to good teaching. Instead, they will bring in many teachers for themselves who will tell them just what they want to hear [IDM]. [The reason that they will bring in such teachers is] that they want to do the evil things that they desire.
4 Wadi gamirka titui tuwo me ukun na utize tika dure, wa kure, wa kuri unyara ukunna itenten iza tunice.
That is, they will not listen to [MTY] what is true, but will listen instead to [strange] stories from our ancestors.
5 Hu, tonno, senke ume nice anyimo imum vat, tira iruba innu zitto, u wuzi katuma kuna tize ta Asere, myincikin katuma kawe.
[Furthermore, I command that] you always control what you think and do. [Be willing] to endure hardships/suffering. Your work should be telling people the message [about Christ Jesus]. As you serve [the Lord], do everything that [God has told] you to do.
6 Iye a zinnu tina um, uganiya u hira um wa aye.
[Timothy, I say these things to] you because as for me, [it is as though] [MET] [they are now about to kill me. It is as though my blood will] be poured out {they will kill me} [as a sacrifice on the altar]; that is, [I know] that it is the time for me to die [EUP].
7 Ma wu za magasiya ma kadure, ma massirka magasiya, ma inta unya kadure.
[And as to telling people the] good [message and defending it], I have (exerted myself thoroughly/done it with all my energy) [MET], [like a boxer does. As to doing] the work that God gave me to do, I have completed it, [like a runner who finishes] [MET] the race. [As to] what we believe, I (have been loyal to it/continue to believe it).
8 A barkam ni ere ni huma, nigesa Ugomo Asere unu weki utiz tini kubu uhuma, madi nyam ro nigino me. Daki mi isisi imba, anime a vat andesa wa hemu aye ume.
[So, like people award] a prize [MET] [to the winner of a race], the Lord, who judges rightly, will give me a reward [because I have lived] righteously. He will give me that reward when [MTY] [he judges people]. And not only [will he reward] me, but he will also reward all those who very much want him to come back.
9 Wuza ubinani unikara nuwe u e ahira am dibe.
(Do your best/Try hard) to come to me soon.
10 Barki dimas ma cekum, ma hem in nu nee ugeme, madusa utasalonika, kariskis madusa u Galatiya, Titus makur madusa u Dalmatiya. (aiōn g165)
[I say that] because Demas has left me. He wanted very much [the good things that he might enjoy] [MTY] in this world [right now], and so he went to Thessalonica [city]. Crescens [went to serve the Lord] in Galatia [province], and Titus went to Dalmatia [district]. (aiōn g165)
11 Luka mani cas mazi nan mi nyara markus aye ni gome nan me barki mazin akatumame.
Luke is the only one who is still with me [of those who were helping me. And when you come], bring Mark with you, because he is useful to help me in my work.
12 Ma tuma Tikikus uhen u Afisus.
Tychicus [cannot help me because] I sent him to Ephesus [city].
13 Ayem innu geptu sam ceki u tarwasa ahira karbusi in ki udi e u en me, vat nan ti litfi tiginome.
And when you come, bring the coat that I left with Carpus in Troas [city]. Also, bring the books, but (most of all/especially) [I want] (the parchments/the animal skins) [on which important things are written].
14 Iskandari unu zunzomo ubara umu haru matirzam malim daki cinba, ugomo Asere madi kurzom anyo a bi wuza wuza bume.
Alexander, the man who makes things from metal, did many evil/harmful things to me. The Lord will punish him for what he did.
15 Hu cangi wuza seke inme, barki mazin matara innu bo aru kang.
So you, too, must beware of him. [He will try to destroy your work if he can], because he very much opposes the message that we [proclaim].
16 Innu tuba ukorso unice num, daki uye ma impom amaruba, inguna a nime kovi ma sumum, inda nyara in sisi abasa iginome ace awe.
When I first defended myself [in court here], no one came along [to help defend] me. Instead, they all left me. [I pray] that it will not be counted against {[God] will forgive} them [LIT] [for leaving me].
17 Anime Ugomo Asere macukuno nan mi makinkum ni kara, ahira memmerum, barki anu zatu urusa utize tu gomo Asere vat wakunna, Aburan anyo udaru.
Nevertheless, the Lord was with me and strengthened me. He enabled me to fully preach the message, and all the non-Jewish people [in the court] (OR, people from many nations) heard it. And I was rescued [by the Lord] {[the Lord] rescued me} [from great danger, as if I were taken] [MET] out of a lion’s (OR, wild animal’s) mouth.
18 Asere adi suso usuro imumu iburu, makur maburam barki ti gomo tume ta zesere. Ninonzo na cukuno ahira ame udusa vat vavat, icukuna anime. (aiōn g165)
[Therefore, I am sure that] the Lord will rescue me from everything that is truly evil and will bring me safely to heaven, where he rules. Praise him forever! (Amen!/May it be so!) (aiōn g165)
19 U isi Briskilla, nan Akila, nan na kura a onisifurus.
Greet [for me] Priscilla and [her husband] Aquila and the family of Onesiphorus.
20 Avastus ma ciki u korinti, ma sabi ma ceki Turufimus matum a militus. Wuza ubina unikara nuwe, u e a guna uhana uputuru.
Erastus stayed in Corinth [city]. Trophimus, I left in Miletus [city] because he was sick.
21 Yabulus mazin nu nya ukoni unice, ane Budis nan Linus nan Kalafidiya nan ni henu vat.
(Do your best/Try hard) to come to me before (the stormy season/winter). Eubulus, Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and many other fellow believers [in this city] (send their greetings to/say that they are thinking affectionately about) you.
22 Acu Ugomo Asere macukuno nan shi, kini umumu iriri icukuno nan hu.
[I pray that] the Lord will [help you in] your spirit, [Timothy, and] that [he] will act kindly toward all of you [believers who are there].
