2 Timote 4
1 Yango wana, liboso ya Nzambe mpe ya Yesu-Klisto oyo akosambisa bato ya bomoi mpe bakufi, mpe na makanisi ya kolengela koya na Ye mpe ya Bokonzi na Ye, nazali kopesa yo mitindo oyo:
I charge you, therefore, before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom,
2 teya Liloba, betela yango sete na tango ya malamu to te, zongisa na nzela, pamela mpe lendisa na nzela ya mateya na yo mpe na kokanga motema.
preach the word, be urgent in season and out of season, reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long-suffering and teaching.
3 Pamba te na mikolo ekoya, bato bakolinga lisusu te koyoka mateya ya solo, kasi bakomilukela bango moko, kolanda baposa na bango, bateyi oyo bakoyebisa bango makambo oyo matoyi na bango esepelaka koyoka;
For the time will come when they will not endure sound teaching, but according to their own desires they will procure for themselves an abundance of teachers to gratify their itching ears:
4 bakoboya koyoka mateya ya solo mpe bakomipesa makasi na koyoka masapo.
and they will turn away their ears from the truth, and be turned to fables.
5 Kasi yo, zala na ekenge na makambo nyonso, yikela pasi mpiko, sala mosala ya mopanzi Sango Malamu, kokisa malamu lotomo na yo.
But do you be watchful in all things, endure evil, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry?
6 Pamba te nakomi pene ya kokaba bomoi na ngai lokola mbeka ya masanga mpo na Nzambe, mpe tango na ngai ya kotika mokili oyo ekoki.
For I am now ready to be poured out, and the time of my departure is at hand.
7 Nabundi etumba na ngai malamu, nakomi na suka ya lisano na ngai ya kokima mbangu, nabateli kondima.
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith:
8 Sik’oyo, Nzambe abombeli ngai motole ya bosembo, oyo Nkolo, Mosambisi ya sembo, akopesa ngai na mokolo wana: akopesa yango na ngai kaka te, kasi mpe na bato nyonso oyo balingaka boyei na Ye.
henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give me at that day; and not to me only, but to all those who love his appearing.
9 Sala makasi ete oya noki epai na ngai.
Endeavor to come to me shortly;
10 Pamba te Demasi asundolaki ngai: alingaki mokili oyo mpe akendeki na Tesalonika; Kresasi akendeki na Galatia, mpe Tito akendeki na Dalimatia. (aiōn g165)
for Demas has forsaken me, having loved the present age; and he has gone to Thessalonica, Crescens to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia. (aiōn g165)
11 Kaka Luka nde azali elongo na ngai. Kamata Malako, mpe boya elongo na ye, pamba te azali na tina mingi epai na ngai mpo na lotomo.
Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with you, for he is useful to me for the ministry.
12 Natindaki Tishike na Efeso.
I have sent Tychicus to Ephesus.
13 Tango okoya, memela ngai kazaka oyo natikaki na Troasi epai ya Karipisi; memela ngai mpe babuku na ngai, mingi-mingi babuku oyo basala na poso ya banyama.
When you come, bring the cloak that I left in Troas with Carpus, and the books, especially the parchments.
14 Alekizandre, monyangwisi bibende, asalaki ngai mabe mingi. Nkolo akofuta ye kolanda misala na ye.
Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord repay him according to his works.
15 Yo mpe sala keba liboso na ye, pamba te atelemelaki makasi mateya na biso.
Do you, also, beware of him, for he has greatly withstood our words.
16 Tango nasambaki mpo na mbala ya liboso, moto ata moko te azalaki wana mpo na kosunga ngai; bango nyonso basundolaki ngai. Tika ete Nzambe atangela bango yango te!
At my first defense no one stood by me, but all forsook me; may it not be laid to their charge:
17 Ezali Nkolo nde atelemaki pembeni na ngai mpe apesaki ngai nguya mpo ete, na nzela na ngai, mateya eteyama na mobimba na yango nyonso, mpe mpo ete Bapagano bayoka yango. Mpe akangolaki ngai wuta na monoko ya nkosi.
but the Lord stood by me, and gave me strength, that through me that which is preached might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.
18 Nayebi solo ete Nkolo akokoba kokangola ngai wuta na misala nyonso ya mabe mpe akobikisa ngai mpo na Bokonzi na Ye ya Likolo. Tika ete nkembo ezonga epai na Ye mpo na libela na libela! Amen. (aiōn g165)
And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work, and bring me safe to his heavenly kingdom. To him be glory from age to age. Amen. (aiōn g165)
19 Pesa mbote na Prisika, na Akilasi mpe na libota ya Onezifore.
Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus.
20 Erasite atikalaki na Kolinto, mpe natikaki Trofime azali kobela na Mile.
Erastus remained at Corinth. I left Trophimus sick at Miletus.
21 Sala makasi ete okoma awa liboso ete tango ya malili makasi ebanda. Ebilisi, Pidesi, Linisi, Klodia mpe bandeko nyonso bapesi yo mbote.
Endeavor to come to me before winter. Eubulus and Pudens and Linus and Claudia and all the brethren salute you.
22 Tika ete Nkolo azala elongo na molimo na yo! Tika ete ngolu ezala na bino nyonso!
The Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Grace be with you all. Amen.
