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,
Now then, in the presence of God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who is about to judge both living and dead, with a view to His appearing and His Kingdom, I give you this charge:
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.
Proclaim the Word; be ready in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and exhort, with lots of patience and teaching.
3 Kubanga ekiseera kijja lwe baligaana okuwulira enjigiriza entuufu, era olw’okugoberera okwegomba kwabwe balyekuŋŋaanyiza abayigiriza, abalibayigiriza bye baagala, okuwulira.
Because the time will come when they will not tolerate the sound doctrine; rather, they will accumulate for themselves a great many teachers who will tickle their ears according to their lusts
4 Baligaana okuwuliriza eby’amazima, ne bagoberera enfumo obufumo.
—yes, they will turn their ears away from the Truth and be turned aside to fables.
5 Naye ggwe weefugenga mu bintu byonna, ogumirenga ebizibu, ng’okola omulimu ogw’omubuulizi w’enjiri, ng’otuukiririza ddala obuweereza bwo.
But you, be sober in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.
6 Nze kaakano mpebwayo, era ekiseera kyange eky’okuva ku nsi kituuse.
For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time of my departure has come.
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.
Now the crown of the righteousness is reserved for me, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that Day; and not only to me, but also to all those who have longed for His appearing.
9 Fuba okujja amangu gye ndi.
Do your best to come to me quickly;
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, loving this present world, has deserted me and 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 ministry.
12 Tukiko n’amutuma mu Efeso.
Tychicus I sent 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.
Bring the cloak that I left with Carpus at Troas, when you come—and the books, especially the parchments.
14 Alegezanda, omuweesi w’ebikomo yankola ebyettima bingi. Mukama alimusasula olw’ebikolwa bye.
Alexander the coppersmith did me a lot of harm; may the Lord repay him according to his deeds.
15 Naawe mwekuume, kubanga yawakanya nnyo ebigambo byaffe.
You also guard against him, because he strongly opposed 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 came to help me, but all deserted me. May it not be held against them.
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 strengthened me, so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and all the nations might hear. Also, I was delivered out of a lion's mouth;
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 save me into His heavenly Kingdom; to whom be the glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
19 Nnamusiza Pulisika ne Akula n’ab’omu maka ga Onesifolo.
Greet Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus.
20 Erasuto yasigalayo mu Kkolinso, ate Tulofiimo namuleka mu Mireeto nga mulwadde.
Erastus stayed in Corinth, while I left Trophimus sick in Miletus.
21 Fuba ojje ng’ebiseera by’obutiti tebinnaba kutuuka. Ewubulo akulamusizza, ne Pudente, ne Lino, ne Kulawudiya, n’abooluganda bonna.
Do your best to come before winter. Eubulus greets you, as do Pudens, Linus, Claudia and all the brothers.
22 Mukama waffe abeerenga n’omwoyo gwo. Ekisa kibeerenga nammwe mwenna.
The Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. The Grace be with you. Amen.
