2 Timote 2
1 Mwana na ngai, zala makasi kati na ngolu oyo ezali kati na Yesu-Klisto.
Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.
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 those (doctrines) which thou hast heard from me by many witnesses, them commit to faithful men, who are also able to teach others.
3 Mona pasi elongo na ngai lokola soda ya mpiko ya Yesu-Klisto.
And endure evils as a good soldier of Jeshu Meshiha.
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 serveth as a soldier, and entangleth himself with the affairs of the world, that he might please him who hath chosen him.
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 one contendeth, he is not crowned, unless according to his law he contend.
6 Moloni elanga oyo asalaka makasi asengeli kozala moto ya liboso mpo na kobuka bambuma.
It becometh the husbandman who laboureth that he should first eat of his fruits.
7 Kanisaka malamu na tina na makambo oyo nazali koloba, mpe Nkolo akopesa yo makoki ya kososola yango nyonso.
Understand what I say to thee. Our Lord give thee wisdom in all things.
8 Kanisaka Yesu-Klisto, mokitani ya Davidi, oyo asekwaki kati na bakufi, kolanda Sango Malamu oyo nateyaka.
Remember Jeshu Meshiha, that he arose from among the dead, he who is of 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.
for which I endure evils unto bonds, as an evil-doer: but the word of Aloha 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)
Therefore I endure every thing on account of the elect, that they also may find salvation in Jeshu Meshiha, with the glory that is eternal. (aiōnios g166)
11 Maloba oyo ezali ya solo: Soki tokufi elongo na Ye, tokozala mpe na bomoi elongo na Ye.
Faithful is the word: For if we be dead with him, With him also we shall live;
12 Soki toyiki mpiko, tokokonza mpe elongo na Ye. Kasi soki towangani Ye, Ye mpe akowangana biso;
And if we endure, We shall also reign with him; But, if we deny him, He also will deny us!
13 soki tozangi kondima, Ye azalaka kaka Moyengebene, pamba te akoki komiwangana te.
And if we believe him not, He in his faithfulness abideth; For deny himself he cannot.
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 (truths) remind them, and testify before our Lord, that they contend not with unprofitable words, to the overturning of those who hear them.
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.
And be careful to establish thyself perfectly before Aloha, a workman without shame, preaching rightly the word of truth.
16 Kima masolo oyo ezanga tina mpe efingaka Nzambe, pamba te ememaka bato oyo bamipesaka na yango mosika na Nzambe.
From vain words which have no utility in them withdraw; for they add greatly to the wickedness of those who are occupied with them.
17 Mateya na bango eliaka nzoto lokola pota oyo ezali na tofina. Kati na bango, tozali na Imene mpe Filete
And their words as an eating cancer will lay hold upon many: but one of them is Hymeneos, and another Philetos,
18 oyo basila kotika nzela ya solo. Bazali koloba ete lisekwa esili kosalema mpe bazali kokweyisa kondima ya bandimi mosusu.
who have erred from the truth, saying, that the resurrection of the dead hath been, and the faith of some overturning.
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 true foundation of Aloha standeth; and it hath this signature: And the Lord knoweth them who are his. And, Let every one who invoketh 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 vessels of gold only or of silver, but also of wood, also of clay: of them (some are) to honour, and of them (some) to 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 a man then purify himself from these, he will be a pure vessel unto honour, fitted for the use of his Lord, and prepared for 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.
From all the lusts of youth escape; and pursue after righteousness, and faith, and charity, and peace, with them who call upon the Lord with a pure heart.
23 Kima masolo ya tembe ya bozoba mpe ezanga tina, pamba te oyebi malamu ete esukaka kaka na koswana.
From foolish controversies which are without instruction withdraw; for thou knowest that they beget strifes.
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 a servant of the Lord oweth not to strive, but to be gentle towards every man, and teaching, and long-suffering,
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.
that he may instruct them who would contend against him with meekness, if by any means Aloha may give them conversion, and they may acknowledge 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 be mindful of themselves, and remove from the snare of Satana, by whom they have been entrapped at his will.
