2 Timoseewo 4
1 Nkukuutirira mu maaso ga Katonda ne Kristo Yesu, anaatera okusalira abalamu n’abafu omusango, era n’olw’okujja kwe, n’olw’obwakabaka bwe,
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 buuliranga ekigambo kya Katonda, ng’oli mwetegefu mu kiseera ekituufu n’ekitali kituufu, ng’olaga ebikwekeddwa, ng’onenya, ng’ozaamu amaanyi, wakati mu kugumiikiriza, n’okubonaabona okungi, n’okuyigiriza.
preach the word, be urgent in season and out of season, reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long-suffering and teaching.
3 Kubanga ekiseera kijja lwe baligaana okuwulira enjigiriza entuufu, era olw’okugoberera okwegomba kwabwe balyekuŋŋaanyiza abayigiriza, abalibayigiriza bye baagala, okuwulira.
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 Baligaana okuwuliriza eby’amazima, ne bagoberera enfumo obufumo.
and they will turn away their ears from the truth, and be turned to fables.
5 Naye ggwe weefugenga mu bintu byonna, ogumirenga ebizibu, ng’okola omulimu ogw’omubuulizi w’enjiri, ng’otuukiririza ddala obuweereza bwo.
But do you be watchful in all things, endure evil, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry?
6 Nze kaakano mpebwayo, era ekiseera kyange eky’okuva ku nsi kituuse.
For I am now ready to be poured out, and the time of my departure is at hand.
7 Nnwanye okulwana okulungi, mmalirizza olugendo lwange, nkuumye okukkiriza kwange.
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith:
8 Kye nsigazza kwe kufuna engule ey’obutuukirivu enterekeddwa, Mukama omulamuzi omutuukirivu gy’alimpeera ku lunaku luli. Taligiwa nze nzekka, naye aligiwa n’abo bonna abeegomba okujja kwe.
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 Fuba okujja amangu gye ndi.
Endeavor to come to me shortly;
10 Kubanga Dema yandekawo ng’ayagala omulembe gwa kaakano, n’agenda e Sessaloniika. Kulesuke yagenda Ggalatiya ne Tito n’agenda e Dalumatiya. (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 Lukka yekka y’ali nange. Ggyayo Makko omuleete, kubanga annyamba nnyo mu buweereza.
Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with you, for he is useful to me for the ministry.
12 Tukiko n’amutuma mu Efeso.
I have sent Tychicus to Ephesus.
13 Bw’obanga ojja ondeeteranga omunagiro gwange gwe naleka e Tulowa ewa Kappo. Ondeeteranga n’emizingo gy’ebitabo, na ddala egyo egy’amaliba.
When you come, bring the cloak that I left in Troas with Carpus, and the books, especially the parchments.
14 Alegezanda, omuweesi w’ebikomo yankola ebyettima bingi. Mukama alimusasula olw’ebikolwa bye.
Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord repay him according to his works.
15 Naawe mwekuume, kubanga yawakanya nnyo ebigambo byaffe.
Do you, also, beware of him, for he has greatly withstood our words.
16 Mu kuwoza kwange okwasooka, tewaali n’omu yajja kubeera nange, bonna banjabulira. Nsaba Katonda ekyo kireme kubavunaanibwa.
At my first defense no one stood by me, but all forsook me; may it not be laid to their charge:
17 Kyokka Mukama waffe yabeera nange, n’ampa amaanyi, ne nsobola okutegeereza ddala Abaamawanga bonna Enjiri ne bagiwulira, bw’atyo n’anziggya mu kamwa k’empologoma.
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 Era Mukama anamponyanga mu buli kabi, era alintuusa mirembe mu bwakabaka bwe. Mukama agulumizibwenga emirembe n’emirembe. Amiina. (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 Nnamusiza Pulisika ne Akula n’ab’omu maka ga Onesifolo.
Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus.
20 Erasuto yasigalayo mu Kkolinso, ate Tulofiimo namuleka mu Mireeto nga mulwadde.
Erastus remained at Corinth. I left Trophimus sick at Miletus.
21 Fuba ojje ng’ebiseera by’obutiti tebinnaba kutuuka. Ewubulo akulamusizza, ne Pudente, ne Lino, ne Kulawudiya, n’abooluganda bonna.
Endeavor to come to me before winter. Eubulus and Pudens and Linus and Claudia and all the brethren salute you.
22 Mukama waffe abeerenga n’omwoyo gwo. Ekisa kibeerenga nammwe mwenna.
The Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Grace be with you all. Amen.
