2 Timotheo 2
1 Henu, bhebhe mwanabhangu, upelibhwayi nghofu mu neema jha jhijhele mugati mwa Yesu Kristu.
You therefore, my child, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
2 Ni mambo gha ughap'eliki kwa nene miongoni mwa mashahidi bhamehele, ughakabisiajhi kwa bhanu bhaaminifu ambabho bhibhwesya kubhafundisya bhamana kabhele.
And the things that you have heard me say among many witnesses, entrust these to faithful men who will be qualified to teach others as well.
3 malombosi pamonga ni nene, kama askari mwema ghwa Kristu Yesu.
Join me in suffering, like a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
4 Ajhelepi askari jhaitumikila wakati bhobhuobhu ikwishughulisya ni mbombo sya kawaida sya maisha agha, ili kwamba ampendesiajhi ofisa ghwa muene mbaha.
A soldier refrains from entangling himself in civilian affairs, in order to please the one who enlisted him.
5 Kabhele kama munu isindana kwa n'jumba lubhelu, ibetalepikupelibhwa litaji kama ibetakusindana kwa kukesya kanuni.
Likewise, a competitor does not receive the crown unless he competes according to the rules.
6 Ndo muhimu kujha n'kulima jha ajhe ni bidii ajhiaghe ghwa kuanza kukabha mgao bhwa mazao gha muene.
The hardworking farmer should be the first to partake of the crops.
7 Ukinong'oniajhi kya nikujobhili, kwandabha Bwana ibetakupela bhuelebhwa mu mambo ghoha.
Consider what I am saying, for the Lord will give you insight into all things.
8 Mun'kombhokayi Yesu Kristu kuhoma uzao bhwa Daudi, ambajhe afumulibhu kuhoma kwa bhafu. Ejhe ndo kul'engana ni bhujumbe bhuangu bhwa injili,
Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, descended from David, as proclaimed by my gospel,
9 ambabho kwa ndabha jha obhu nitesibhwa hata kukhongibhwa minyororo kama mharifu. Lakini lilobhi lya K'yara likongibhwa lepi kwa minyororo.
for which I suffer to the extent of being chained like a criminal. But the word of God cannot be chained!
10 Henu, nisindamale mambo ghoha agha kwandabha jha bhala ambabho K'yara abhasalili tayari, ili kwamba nabhene bhaukabhayi bhwokovu bhwabhujhele kwa Kristu Yesu pamonga ni bhutukufu bhwa milele. (aiōnios g166)
For this reason I endure all things for the sake of the elect, so that they too may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory. (aiōnios g166)
11 Bhujobhi obho ndo bhwa kuaminika: “Ikajhiajhi tufuili pamonga ni muene, tubetakutama pamonga ni muene kabhele,
This is a trustworthy saying: If we died with Him, we will also live with Him;
12 kama tusindamele, twibetakutabhwala pamonga ni muene kabhele, kama twibetakumbela muene, ni muene kabhele ibetakutubela tete.
if we endure, we will also reign with Him; if we deny Him, He will also deny us;
13 kama twibetalepi kujha bhaaminifu, muene ibetakujha muaminifu, ndabha ibhwesya lepi kwibela muene.”
if we are faithless, He remains faithful, for He cannot deny Himself.
14 Jhendelelajhi kubhakhombosya panani pa matendo agha. Bhaonyayi palongolo pa K'yara bhalekayi kubishana kuhusu malobhi. Kwandabha ghajhelepi manufaa kulijambo e'le. Kutokana ni e'le bhujhele bhuharibifu mbaha nesu kwa bhala bhabhipelekesya.
Remind the believers of these things, charging them before God to avoid quarreling over words, which succeeds only in leading the listeners to ruin.
15 Bhombajhi bidii kulasya kujha bhakujhedekili kwa K'yara kama mbomba mbombo jhaadulili sababu jha kulaumibhwa. Mulitumilajhi lilobhi lya bhukweli kwa usahihi.
Make every effort to present yourself approved to God, an unashamed workman who accurately handles the word of truth.
16 Mukijhepusiajhi ni majadilianu gha kidunia, ambagho ghilongosya kwa zaidi ni zaidi jha uasi.
But avoid irreverent, empty chatter, which will only lead to more ungodliness,
17 Majadiliano gha bhene ghibetakusambala kama donda ndugu. Miongoni mwa bhene ndo Himenayo ni Fileto.
and the talk of such men will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus,
18 Abha ndo bhanu bhabhaudulili bhukweli. Bhijobha kujha bhufufuo tayari bhumali kuhoma. Bhip'endula imani jha baadhi jha bhanu.
who have deviated from the truth. They say that the resurrection has already occurred, and they undermine the faith of some.
19 Hata naha, misingi imara jha K'yara jhijhema, bhabhajhe ni bhuandishi obho, “Bwana abhamanyili bhabhajhele bha muene, ni khila jha alitajeghe lihina lya Bwana ndo lazima akitengaghe ni bhudhalimu.”
Nevertheless, God’s firm foundation stands, bearing this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord must turn away from iniquity.”
20 Munyumba jha kitajiri, sio kujha fijhele fenu fya dhahabu ni shaba tu. Kabhele fijhele fenu fya mab'eh'e ni bhudopi. Baadhi jha efe ndo kwa ndabha jha matumizi gha heshima ni baadhi jhiake ndo kwa matumizi ghaghabelikujha gha litengu.
A large house contains not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay. Some indeed are for honorable use, but others are for common use.
21 Ikajhelayi munu ibetakwitakasya muene kuhoma mu matumizi ghaghabeli kujha gha heshima, muene ndo khenu kya kilondeka kutengulibhwa. Atengibhu maalumu, jhaajheni manufaa kwa Bwana, na aandalibhu kwa khila lihengu linofu.
So if anyone cleanses himself of what is unfit, he will be a vessel for honor: sanctified, useful to the Master, and prepared for every good work.
22 Musikhembelayi tamaa sya bhusongolo. Ukakesiajhi haki, imani, luganu, ni amani pamonga ni bhala bhabhakan'kuta Bwana kwa muoyo bhunofu.
Flee from youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, together with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
23 Lakini ubelayi bhupumbafu ni maswala gha kipuuzi. Kwani umanyili jha kujha wihogola ngondo.
But reject foolish and ignorant speculation, for you know that it breeds quarreling.
24 M'tumishi ghwa Bwana ilondeka lepi kukomana, badala jhiake ilondeka kujha mololo kwa bhanu bhoha, jhaibhwesya kumanyisya, ni jhaisindamala.
And a servant of the Lord must not be quarrelsome, but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, and forbearing.
25 Na lazima abhaelimisiajhi kwa bhololo bhala bhabhakamp'enga yamkini K'yara abhwesiajhi kubhap'ela toba kwa kujhimanya kweli.
He must gently reprove those who oppose him, in the hope that God may grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth.
26 Bhabhwesiajhi kukabha ufahamu kabhele ni kujhepuka n'teghu ghwa syetani, baada jha kujha bhatekibhu ni muene kwa ndabha jha mapenzi gha muene.
Then they will come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, who has taken them captive to his will.
