2 Timotheo 2
1 Kulwejo awe mwana wani, uyanwe amanaga ango ngali muchigongo chinu chili Munda ya Yesu Kristo.
Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
2 Ne misango jinu wonguwe kwanye kubhasuta bhanfu, ubhayane abhanu bhe chimali bhanu abhatura okubheigisha abhandi ona.
And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
3 Usangire jinyako amwi nanye, lwo musilikare wa kisi wa Kristo Yesu.
Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
4 Atalio omusilikare oyo kafurubhendera mu mwanya ogwo gwo emisango je charo, koleleki amukondereshe esebhugenyi ku misango ejo kubhilikilwa.
No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of [this] life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.
5 Nyabhuliko omunu unu kayajana mwibhilima, atakuyanibhwa lutenga akabheye atagumisishe ebhilagiro.
And if a man also strive for masteries, [yet] is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.
6 Ni kwa kisi omulimi we chimali abhe wo kwamba okulamira omugabho gwa matwasho gaye.
The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits.
7 Iganilisha kutyo enikubhwira, kwo kubha Omukama kakuyana okusombokerwa emisango jona.
Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.
8 Mwijuke Yesu Kristo, okusoka mu lwibhuro lwa Daudi, unu asuluywe okusoka mubhafuye. Inu ni kusoka mukulasya omusango gwo mweluro,
Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel:
9 kulwe misango ejo eninyasibhwa no kubhoywa amaseka kuti munyamusi. Mbe nawe omusango gwa Nyamuanga gutakubhoywa kwa maseka.
Where in I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, [even] unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound.
10 Ku lwejo, enigumilisha ku lwabho bhona abho Nyamuanga amalile okwaula koleleki bhone bhabhone omweluro okusoka ku Kristo Yesu na likusyo lya kajanende. (aiōnios g166)
Therefore I endure all things for the elect’s sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. (aiōnios g166)
11 Obhwaiki bhunu mbokwikilisibhwa: “Chibhe chifuye amwi nage, echikara amwi nage ona,
[It is] a faithful saying: For if we be dead with [him], we shall also live with [him]:
12 labha chikegumilisha, echitunga amwi nage, labha chikamwikana omwene, ona kachikana eswe.
If we suffer, we shall also reign with [him]: if we deny [him], he also will deny us:
13 Chikalema okubha bhe chimali, kasigala omwenene mchimali, kwo kubha atakutura okwirema omwene.
If we believe not, [yet] he abideth faithful: he can not deny himself.
14 Gendelela okubhejukisha emisango jinu. Nubhaganye okubhambashanya ku misango. Kwo kubha gutalimo muyelo ku misango jinu. Okusokana na linu bhulimo obhunyamuke ku bhanu abhategelesha.
Of these things put [them] in remembrance, charging [them] before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, [but] to the subverting of the hearers.
15 Ikomeresha kwa managa okwiyoresha ati wikilisibhwe ku Nyamuanga lwo mukosi oyo atane solo. Likolele lisango lye kisi mu chimali.
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
16 Sigana na inyaika ye charo inu eileta obhunyamuke bhwanfu.
But shun profane [and] vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
17 Emisango jebhwe ejiswira lwe chilonda cha imbolera. Kwabho ni Himenayo na Fileto.
And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;
18 Bhanu ni bhanu abho bhatali ne chimali. Abhaika ati obhusuluko bhwasokeleye. Abhaindura elikirisha lya abhanu.
Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.
19 Nolwo kutyo, elikirisha lye chimali elya Nyamuanga litimbire, elyo lwandiko linu, “Okubha Omukama kabhamenya abhae, kwo kubha oyo kalyaika lisina lyo Mukama asigane no bhunyamuke.”
Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
20 Okubha mu nyumba yo munibhi, itali ati bhilimo ebhinu bhya izaabu na iyela, nawe bhilimo ebhya mati ne bhya limomga. Kwibhyo ni kwo mulimu gwe chibharo ebhindi gutali mulimu gwe chibharo.
But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.
21 Mbe nawe omunu akeyosha omwenene okusoka ku milimu jinu jitali ja bhusibhusi, omwene ni chinu che chibharo. Auywe kubha chinu che chibharo ku Mukama na auywe ku milimu gwe kisi.
If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, [and] prepared unto every good work.
22 Iluka inamba yo bhusigaji. Nulubhe echimali, obhurengelesi, elyenda no mulembe amwi na bhanu abhamubhilikila Omukama kwo mwoyo omweru.
Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
23 Nawe uleme amabhusho ge chimumu. Kwo kubha ago agaleta obhulwani.
But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.
24 Omukosi wa Nyamuanga ateile okulwana, nawe kendibhwa abhe mufura ku bhanu bhona, unu katura okwiigisha, no kwigumilisha.
And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all [men], apt to teach, patient,
25 Ni bhusi bhusi eigishe kwo bhufura bhanu kayajana nabho. Amwi Nyamuanga katura okubhafundukulira okumenya omweluro gwe chimali.
In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
26 Bhalafye okusoka mumutego gwa Shetani, oyo abhagwasishe koleleki bhakore chinu kenda.
And [that] they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.
