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 will judge the living and the dead at his appearing, in 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 both in season and out of season; convince, rebuke, exhort with all long-suffering and instruction.
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 bear sound doctrine; but having itching ears, will heap up to themselves teachers after their own hearts:
4 bakoboya koyoka mateya ya solo mpe bakomipesa makasi na koyoka masapo.
and turn away their attention from the truth, and be turned aside 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 be thou watchful in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, give 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 going to be sacrificed, and the time of my dissolution is near.
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 my 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.
As to what remains, there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give me in that day: and not to me only, but also to all those who have longed for his appearance.
9 Sala makasi ete oya noki epai na ngai.
Endeavour to come to me soon: for Demas hath forsaken 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)
through love of this world, and is gone to Thessalonica; as is Crescens to Galatia, and Titus to Dalmatia: Luke only is with me. (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.
Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is useful to me in the ministry.
12 Natindaki Tishike na Efeso.
And 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 thou comest, bring with thee the cloke, that I left at Troas with Carpus; and the books, but especially the parchments.
14 Alekizandre, monyangwisi bibende, asalaki ngai mabe mingi. Nkolo akofuta ye kolanda misala na ye.
Alexander the brazier did me many ill turns: the Lord will reward him according to his deeds.
15 Yo mpe sala keba liboso na ye, pamba te atelemelaki makasi mateya na biso.
Of whom do thou also beware: for he hath greatly opposed our doctrine.
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!
In my first defence no one stood by me, but all men forsook me: God grant 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.
But the Lord stood by me, and strengthened me; that by me the gospel might be fully spread, and that all the nations might hear: and so 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 will preserve me to his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory throughout all ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
19 Pesa mbote na Prisika, na Akilasi mpe na libota ya Onezifore.
Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the family of Onesiphorus.
20 Erasite atikalaki na Kolinto, mpe natikaki Trofime azali kobela na Mile.
Erastus staid at Corinth, and 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.
Endeavour therefore to come to me before winter. Eubulus saluteth thee, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and indeed 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 all. Amen.
