2 Timote 3
1 Kasi yeba malamu ete mikolo ya suka ekozala mikolo ya pasi:
But, of this, be taking note—that, in last days, there will set in perilous seasons;
2 bato bakokoma na lokoso ya mbongo, bakokoma miyimi, lolendo, lofundu; bakokoma kofinga Nzambe, kozanga botosi epai ya baboti na bango, koboya kozongisa matondi, kozanga limemia mpo na biloko ya bule,
For men will be—fond of themselves, fond of money, ostentatious, arrogant, defamers, to parents, unyielding, unthankful, unkind,
3 kozanga bolingo, kozanga mawa, kokosela baninga makambo, kozanga makoki ya komikanga, bato na kanza, banguna ya bolamu,
without natural affection, accepting no truce, given to intrigue, without self-control, uncivilized, unfriendly to good men,
4 bateki baninga, bato ya mitema mikuse, bato na komitombola, bato balinga bisengo na esika ya kolinga Nzambe;
traitors, reckless, beclouded, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God,
5 bakobanda komilakisa lokola nde bazali na botosi kati na makambo ya Nzambe, nzokande bawanganaka nguya na yango. Kima bato ya lolenge wana!
having a form of godliness, but, the power thereof, denying! and, from these, turn away;
6 Bamosusu kati na bango bakotaka na bandako ya bato mpe bakosaka basi ya pete oyo batonda na masumu mpe bamitikaka na lolenge nyonso ya baposa ya nzoto,
For, of these, are they who enter into the houses, and captivate silly women, [women] laden with sins, led on by manifold covetings,
7 oyo balukaka tango nyonso koyekola kasi bakokaka ata moke te koyeba solo.
Ever learning and never, unto a personal knowledge of truth, able to come;
8 Ndenge Janesi mpe Jambresi batelemelaki Moyize, ndenge wana mpe bato wana batelemelaka solo. Bazali bato oyo makanisi na bango esila kobeba mpe kondima na bango esila kokufa.
Moreover, like as, Jannes and Jambres, withstood Moses, so, these men also, withstand the truth, —men utterly corrupted in their mind, disapproved concerning their faith;
9 Kasi bakokende mosika te, pamba te bozoba na bango ekomonana na miso ya bato nyonso, ndenge ezalaki mpo na mibali wana mibale.
But they shall not force their way further, for, their folly, shall be, fully evident, unto all, —as also, that of those men, became.
10 Nzokande yo oyebi nyonso na tina na mateya na ngai, bizaleli, makanisi, kondima, kokanga motema, bolingo, mpiko,
But, thou, hast closely studied—my teaching, manner of life, purpose, faith, long-suffering, love, endurance,
11 minyoko mpe pasi na ngai; oyebi makambo nyonso oyo ekomelaki ngai na Antioshe, na Ikoniomi mpe na Listre. Solo, nanyokwamaki makasi, kasi Nkolo akangolaki ngai wuta na nyonso.
persecutions, sufferings, what manner of things, befell me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra, what manner of persecutions, I endured, —and, out of all, the Lord, rescued me; —
12 Solo, bato nyonso oyo balingi kotambola na botosi kati na Yesu-Klisto bakonyokolama.
Yea and, all who are determined to live in a godly manner in Christ Jesus, will be persecuted;
13 Kasi bato mabe mpe ba-oyo bakosaka baninga bakozala kozinda kati na mabe, kokosa bato mosusu, mpe bango moko bakokosa bango.
Whereas, wicked men and howling impostors, will force their way to the worse, deceiving and being deceived.
14 Kasi yo, kangama kaka na makambo oyo oyekolaki mpe ondimaki, pamba te oyebi epai ya nani oyekolaki yango;
But, thou, —abide in the things which thou hast learned, and been entrusted with, knowing, from whom, thou hast learned [them], —
15 mpe wuta bomwana na yo, oyebi Makomi ya bule oyo ezali na makoki ya kopesa yo bwanya oyo ememaka na lobiko na nzela ya kondima kati na Yesu-Klisto.
And that, from a babe, those sacred letters, thou hast known which are able to make thee wise unto salvation, through the faith which is in Christ Jesus:
16 Makomi nyonso ekomama na nguya ya Nzambe mpe ezali na tina mpo na koteya, kopamela, kozongisa na nzela mpe kolakisa bato kotambola kolanda bosembo,
Every scripture, [is] God-breathed, and profitable—unto teaching, unto conviction, unto correction, unto the discipline that is in righteousness, —
17 mpo ete moto na Nzambe azala ya kokoka mpe ya kobongisama mpo na kosala misala nyonso ya malamu.
In order that, ready, may be the man, of God, unto every good work, being well-prepared.
