2 Timote 2
1 Mwana na ngai, zala makasi kati na ngolu oyo ezali kati na Yesu-Klisto.
Therefore, my child, be thou filled up with dynamite in the grace which is in Christ Jesus,
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 whatsoever things thou hast heard with me through many witnesses, commit thou the same to faithful men, who will be able also to teach others.
3 Mona pasi elongo na ngai lokola soda ya mpiko ya Yesu-Klisto.
Suffer affliction, as a good soldier of Jesus 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 one operating as a soldier is entangled with the affairs of life; in order that he may please his commander.
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.
But if indeed any one may fight, he is not crowned unless he may fight lawfully.
6 Moloni elanga oyo asalaka makasi asengeli kozala moto ya liboso mpo na kobuka bambuma.
It behooves the toiling farmer first to partake of the fruits.
7 Kanisaka malamu na tina na makambo oyo nazali koloba, mpe Nkolo akopesa yo makoki ya kososola yango nyonso.
Know what I say; for the Lord will give you understanding in all things.
8 Kanisaka Yesu-Klisto, mokitani ya Davidi, oyo asekwaki kati na bakufi, kolanda Sango Malamu oyo nateyaka.
Remember Jesus Christ, who is risen from the dead, from the seed of David, 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.
in whom I suffer affliction as an evil-doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound.
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)
On account of this I endure all things for the sake of the elect, in order that they may also have the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. (aiōnios g166)
11 Maloba oyo ezali ya solo: Soki tokufi elongo na Ye, tokozala mpe na bomoi elongo na Ye.
It is a faithful saying: For if we die along with him, we will also live with him:
12 Soki toyiki mpiko, tokokonza mpe elongo na Ye. Kasi soki towangani Ye, Ye mpe akowangana biso;
if we endure, we will truly reign with him: if we shall deny him, he will also deny us:
13 soki tozangi kondima, Ye azalaka kaka Moyengebene, pamba te akoki komiwangana te.
if we are unfaithful, he remains faithful; for he is not able to deny himself.
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.
Remember these things, testifying before God, that they shall not fight with words, profitable unto nothing, for the overturning of those who hear.
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.
Study to present yourself to God approved, a workman not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
16 Kima masolo oyo ezanga tina mpe efingaka Nzambe, pamba te ememaka bato oyo bamipesaka na yango mosika na Nzambe.
But reject the unsanctified empty talks: for they will proceed unto more of ungodliness,
17 Mateya na bango eliaka nzoto lokola pota oyo ezali na tofina. Kati na bango, tozali na Imene mpe Filete
and their word like gangrene will have eating. Of whom are Hymenaeus and Phyletus;
18 oyo basila kotika nzela ya solo. Bazali koloba ete lisekwa esili kosalema mpe bazali kokweyisa kondima ya bandimi mosusu.
who have made shipwreck concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection has already come, and they overturn the faith of some.
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. »
The foundation of God stands solid indeed, having this seal, The Lord knows them that are his: and; Let every one naming the name of the Lord depart from iniquity.
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.
But in a great house there are not only gold and silver vessels, but also wood and stone, the former truly indeed unto honor, but the latter unto dishonor.
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.
Therefore if any one may cleanse himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honor, having been sanctified, well pleasing to the Lord, having been prepared unto every good work.
22 Kima baposa mabe ya bolenge mpe luka bosembo, kondima, bolingo mpe kimia elongo na bato oyo babelelaka Nkolo na motema ya peto.
But fly from youthful lusts, and pursue righteousness, faith, divine love, peace, with those who call upon the Lord out of a clean heart.
23 Kima masolo ya tembe ya bozoba mpe ezanga tina, pamba te oyebi malamu ete esukaka kaka na koswana.
But reject foolish and undisciplinary questions, knowing that they gender 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 it does not behoove the servant of the Lord to strive, but to be gentle toward all, competent to teach, enduring evil,
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.
in meekness correcting the adversaries; if peradventure God may grant unto them repentance into the perfect knowledge of the truth,
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 they may escape from the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him (the Lord's servant) according to his will.
