2 Timote 2
1 Mwana na ngai, zala makasi kati na ngolu oyo ezali kati na Yesu-Klisto.
Thou therefore, my sonne, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Iesus.
2 Makambo oyo oyokaki epai na ngai liboso ya batatoli ebele, teya yango na bato ya sembo oyo bazali na makoki ya koteya yango lisusu na bato mosusu.
And what things thou hast heard of me, by many witnesses, ye same deliuer to faithfull men, which shalbe able to teache other also.
3 Mona pasi elongo na ngai lokola soda ya mpiko ya Yesu-Klisto.
Thou therefore suffer affliction as a good souldier of Iesus Christ.
4 Moto oyo akoti na mosala ya soda amipesaka te na makambo ya bato oyo bazali basoda te mpo na kosepelisa mokonzi na ye ya mampinga.
No man that warreth, entangleth himselfe with the affaires of this life, because he woulde please him that hath chosen him to be a souldier.
5 Ezali mpe ndenge moko mpo na moto oyo azali kosala lisano ya kokima mbangu: akoki te kozwa motole soki akimi mbangu te kolanda mibeko ya lisano.
And if any man also striue for a Masterie, he is not crowned, except he striue as he ought to doe.
6 Moloni elanga oyo asalaka makasi asengeli kozala moto ya liboso mpo na kobuka bambuma.
The husbandman must labour before he receiue the fruites.
7 Kanisaka malamu na tina na makambo oyo nazali koloba, mpe Nkolo akopesa yo makoki ya kososola yango nyonso.
Consider what I say: and the Lord giue thee vnderstanding in all things:
8 Kanisaka Yesu-Klisto, mokitani ya Davidi, oyo asekwaki kati na bakufi, kolanda Sango Malamu oyo nateyaka.
Remember that Iesus Christ, made of the seede of Dauid, was raysed againe from the dead according to my Gospel,
9 Ezali mpe mpo na Sango Malamu yango nde nazali komona pasi kino bakanga ngai minyololo lokola mobomi, kasi bakangi Liloba na Nzambe minyololo te.
Wherein I suffer trouble as an euill doer, euen vnto bondes: but the worde of God is not bounde.
10 Yango wana nazali koyikela makambo nyonso mpiko mpo na bolamu ya bato oyo Nzambe apona, mpo ete bango mpe bazwa lobiko oyo ezali kati na Yesu-Klisto, elongo na nkembo ya seko. (aiōnios g166)
Therefore I suffer all things, for the elects sake, that they might also obtaine the saluation which is in Christ Iesus, with eternall glorie. (aiōnios g166)
11 Maloba oyo ezali ya solo: Soki tokufi elongo na Ye, tokozala mpe na bomoi elongo na Ye.
It is a true saying, For if we be dead together with him, we also shall liue together with him.
12 Soki toyiki mpiko, tokokonza mpe elongo na Ye. Kasi soki towangani Ye, Ye mpe akowangana biso;
If we suffer, we shall also reigne together with him: if we denie him, he also will denie vs.
13 soki tozangi kondima, Ye azalaka kaka Moyengebene, pamba te akoki komiwangana te.
If we beleeue not, yet abideth he faithfull: he cannot denie himselfe.
14 Yango nde makambo oyo osengeli koloba mbala na mbala epai ya bato, na kopesa bango mitindo liboso ya Nzambe ete batika koswana na tina na maloba; ezali na tina moko te, soki kaka te komema bato oyo bayokaka yango na libebi.
Of these things put them in remembrance, and protest before the Lord, that they striue not about wordes, which is to no profit, but to the peruerting of the hearers.
15 Sala makasi ete omimonisa liboso ya Nzambe lokola moto ya kokoka, lokola mosali oyo ayokelaka mosala na ye soni te, pamba te ateyaka na bosembo Liloba ya solo.
Studie to shewe thy selfe approued vnto God, a workeman that needeth not to be ashamed, diuiding the worde of trueth aright.
16 Kima masolo oyo ezanga tina mpe efingaka Nzambe, pamba te ememaka bato oyo bamipesaka na yango mosika na Nzambe.
Stay prophane, and vaine babblings: for they shall encrease vnto more vngodlinesse.
17 Mateya na bango eliaka nzoto lokola pota oyo ezali na tofina. Kati na bango, tozali na Imene mpe Filete
And their worde shall fret as a canker: of which sort is Hymeneus and Philetus,
18 oyo basila kotika nzela ya solo. Bazali koloba ete lisekwa esili kosalema mpe bazali kokweyisa kondima ya bandimi mosusu.
Which as concerning ye trueth haue erred from the marke, saying that the resurrection is past alreadie, and do destroy the faith of certaine.
19 Nzokande moboko makasi oyo Nzambe asila kotia ezali kaka ngwi; batobola makomi oyo na likolo na yango lokola kashe: « Nkolo ayebi bato na Ye, » mpe « Moto nyonso oyo atatolaka Kombo ya Nkolo asengeli koboya mabe. »
But the foundation of God remaineth sure, and hath this seale, The Lord knoweth who are his: and, Let euery one that calleth on the Name of Christ, depart from iniquitie.
20 Kati na ndako ya monene, ezalaka kaka te na basani ya wolo mpe ya palata, kasi ezalaka mpe na basani oyo basala na nzete to na mabele. Basani ya wolo mpe ya palata ezalaka mpo na koyamba bato ya lokumu, kasi basani ya nzete mpe ya mabele ezalaka mpo na misala ya bongo na bongo.
Notwithstanding in a great house are not onely vessels of gold and of siluer, but also of wood and of earth, and some for honour, and some vnto dishonour.
21 Soki moto amibateli peto na makambo nyonso oyo nawuti koloba, akozala lokola sani oyo babongisi mpo na koyamba bato ya lokumu, akozala bule, moto na tina mpo na Nkolo mpe moto oyo babongisi mpo na misala nyonso ya malamu.
If any man therefore purge him selfe from these, he shalbe a vessell vnto honour, sanctified, and meete for the Lord, and prepared vnto euery good worke.
22 Kima baposa mabe ya bolenge mpe luka bosembo, kondima, bolingo mpe kimia elongo na bato oyo babelelaka Nkolo na motema ya peto.
Flee also from the lustes of youth, and follow after righteousnes, faith, loue, and peace, with them that call on the Lord with pure heart,
23 Kima masolo ya tembe ya bozoba mpe ezanga tina, pamba te oyebi malamu ete esukaka kaka na koswana.
And put away foolish and vnlearned questions, knowing that they ingender strife.
24 Mpe ezali malamu te mpo na mosali ya Nkolo kozala moto oyo aswanaka na bato, kasi asengeli nde kozala moto ya boboto epai ya bato nyonso, moto oyo azali na makoki ya kopesa malakisi, ya kokanga motema
But the seruant of ye Lord must not striue, but must be gentle toward all men, apt to teache, suffering the euill,
25 mpe ya koteya na boboto bato oyo babendanaka na ye; asengeli kozala na elikya ete Nzambe akosalela bango ngolu ya kobongola mitema mpo ete bayeba solo.
Instructing them with meekenesse that are contrary minded, prouing if God at any time will giue them repentance, that they may acknowledge the trueth,
26 Bongo bakozongela mayele na bango ya malamu mpe bakolongwa na motambo ya Satana oyo akanga bango na boloko mpo ete basala kaka mokano na ye.
And come to amendment out of that snare of the deuil, of whom they are taken prisoners, to doe his will.
