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 [thee] therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick 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 instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
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 doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4 bakoboya koyoka mateya ya solo mpe bakomipesa makasi na koyoka masapo.
And they shall turn away [their] ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto 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 watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy 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 offered, 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 a good fight, I have finished [my] course, 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 a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.
9 Sala makasi ete oya noki epai na ngai.
Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me:
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 hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto 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 thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry.
12 Natindaki Tishike na Efeso.
And Tychicus have I sent 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.
The cloke that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest, bring [with thee], and the books, [but] 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 reward him according to his works:
15 Yo mpe sala keba liboso na ye, pamba te atelemelaki makasi mateya na biso.
Of whom be thou ware also; for he hath 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 answer no man stood with me, but all [men] forsook me: [I pray God] that it may 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.
Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching 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 shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve [me] unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom [be] glory for ever and ever. 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 abode at Corinth: but Trophimus have I left at Miletum sick.
21 Sala makasi ete okoma awa liboso ete tango ya malili makasi ebanda. Ebilisi, Pidesi, Linisi, Klodia mpe bandeko nyonso bapesi yo mbote.
Do thy diligence to come before winter. Eubulus greeteth thee, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren.
22 Tika ete Nkolo azala elongo na molimo na yo! Tika ete ngolu ezala na bino nyonso!
The Lord Jesus Christ [be] with thy spirit. Grace [be] with you. Amen.
