2 Timoseewo 2
1 Noolwekyo mwana wange nywereranga mu kisa ekiri mu Kristo Yesu.
Thou therefore, my sonne, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Iesus.
2 Ebyo bye wawulira nga njogera mu maaso g’abajulirwa abangi biyigirizenga abantu abeesigwa, abalisobola okubiyigiriza abalala.
And what things thou hast heard of me, by many witnesses, ye same deliuer to faithfull men, which shalbe able to teache other also.
3 Naawe bonaabonanga ng’omuserikale omulungi owa Kristo Yesu.
Thou therefore suffer affliction as a good souldier of Iesus Christ.
4 Tewali muserikale ng’ali ku lutalo eyeeyingiza mu mitawaana gy’abantu abaabulijjo, alyoke asiimibwe oyo eyamuwandiika.
No man that warreth, entangleth himselfe with the affaires of this life, because he woulde please him that hath chosen him to be a souldier.
5 Omuntu yenna eyeetaba mu mizannyo gy’empaka, taweebwa buwanguzi bw’atagoberera biragiro bya mizannyo egyo.
And if any man also striue for a Masterie, he is not crowned, except he striue as he ought to doe.
6 Omulimi ategana ennyo y’asaanira okufuna ku bibala ebibereberye.
The husbandman must labour before he receiue the fruites.
7 Kale lowooza ku bye ŋŋamba; Mukama ajja kukuwa okutegeera byonna.
Consider what I say: and the Lord giue thee vnderstanding in all things:
8 Jjukira nga Yesu Kristo ow’omu zzadde lya Dawudi yazuukira mu bafu ng’Enjiri gye ntegeeza bw’egamba.
Remember that Iesus Christ, made of the seede of Dauid, was raysed againe from the dead according to my Gospel,
9 Olw’Enjiri eyo, kyenva mbonaabona n’ensibibwa ng’omukozi w’ebibi. Naye ekigambo kya Katonda kyo tekisibiddwa.
Wherein I suffer trouble as an euill doer, euen vnto bondes: but the worde of God is not bounde.
10 Kyenva ngumira ebintu byonna olw’abalonde nabo balyoke balokolebwe era bafune, n’ekitiibwa ekitaggwaawo ekiri mu Kristo Yesu. (aiōnios g166)
Therefore I suffer all things, for the elects sake, that they might also obtaine the saluation which is in Christ Iesus, with eternall glorie. (aiōnios g166)
11 Ekigambo kino kyesigwa ekigamba nti: “Obanga twafiira wamu naye, era tulibeera balamu wamu naye.
It is a true saying, For if we be dead together with him, we also shall liue together with him.
12 Obanga tugumiikiriza awamu naye, era tulifugira wamu naye. Obanga tumwegaana era naye alitwegaana.
If we suffer, we shall also reigne together with him: if we denie him, he also will denie vs.
13 Ffe bwe tutaba beesigwa, ye aba mwesigwa, kubanga teyeewakanya.”
If we beleeue not, yet abideth he faithfull: he cannot denie himselfe.
14 Ebyo bijjukizenga abantu ng’obakuutirira mu maaso ga Katonda, beewalenga okuwakana okutalina mugaso, nga bakyamya abo abawuliriza.
Of these things put them in remembrance, and protest before the Lord, that they striue not about wordes, which is to no profit, but to the peruerting of the hearers.
15 Fubanga okweraga ng’osiimibwa Katonda, ng’oli mukozi akola ebitakuswaza, era nga weekuumira mu kkubo ery’obubaka obw’amazima.
Studie to shewe thy selfe approued vnto God, a workeman that needeth not to be ashamed, diuiding the worde of trueth aright.
16 Weewalenga ebigambo ebinyooma era ebitaliimu nsa, kubanga abantu bibongera bwongezi mu butatya Katonda.
Stay prophane, and vaine babblings: for they shall encrease vnto more vngodlinesse.
17 Era ebigambo byabwe birisaasaana nga kookolo; mu abo mwe muli Kumenayo ne Fireeto,
And their worde shall fret as a canker: of which sort is Hymeneus and Philetus,
18 abaakyama ne bava ku mazima, nga bagamba nti okuzuukira kwabaawo dda, era waliwo abamu be bakyamizza.
Which as concerning ye trueth haue erred from the marke, saying that the resurrection is past alreadie, and do destroy the faith of certaine.
19 Kyokka omusingi Katonda gwe yateekawo mugumu, era gulina akabonero kano: “Mukama amanyi ababe.” Era nti: “Buli ayatula erinnya lya Mukama ave mu butali butuukirivu.”
But the foundation of God remaineth sure, and hath this seale, The Lord knoweth who are his: and, Let euery one that calleth on the Name of Christ, depart from iniquitie.
20 Mu nnyumba ennene temubaamu bintu bya zaabu na ffeeza byokka, naye mubaamu n’eby’emiti, era n’eby’ebbumba. Ebimu bikozesebwa emirimu egy’ekitiibwa, n’ebirala egitali gya kitiibwa.
Notwithstanding in a great house are not onely vessels of gold and of siluer, but also of wood and of earth, and some for honour, and some vnto dishonour.
21 Noolwekyo buli eyeewala ebintu ebyo ebitali bya kitiibwa anaabanga ow’ekitiibwa, atukuziddwa, asaanira okukozesebwa mukama we, olw’omulimu omulungi.
If any man therefore purge him selfe from these, he shalbe a vessell vnto honour, sanctified, and meete for the Lord, and prepared vnto euery good worke.
22 Naye ddukanga okwegomba okubi okw’ekivubuka, ogobererenga obutuukirivu, n’okukkiriza, n’okwagalana era n’emirembe awamu n’abo abasaba Mukama n’omutima omulongoofu.
Flee also from the lustes of youth, and follow after righteousnes, faith, loue, and peace, with them that call on the Lord with pure heart,
23 Weewalenga empaka ez’obusirusiru, ezitaliimu magezi, kubanga omanyi nti zivaamu okulwana.
And put away foolish and vnlearned questions, knowing that they ingender strife.
24 Omuddu wa Mukama tasaana kulwana, wabula okuba omukkakkamu eri bonna, n’okuba omuyigiriza omulungi agumiikiriza,
But the seruant of ye Lord must not striue, but must be gentle toward all men, apt to teache, suffering the euill,
25 era aluŋŋamya n’obwetoowaze abo abamuwakanya, oboolyawo Katonda alibawa okwenenya, ne bamanya amazima,
Instructing them with meekenesse that are contrary minded, prouing if God at any time will giue them repentance, that they may acknowledge the trueth,
26 ne bava mu mutego gwa Setaani gwe baguddemu abakozese by’ayagala, ne badda engulu mu kutegeera kwabwe.
And come to amendment out of that snare of the deuil, of whom they are taken prisoners, to doe his will.
