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 solemnly charge yoʋ therefore in the presence of God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead when he appears with 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 prepared whether the time is favorable or not, reprove, rebuke, and encourage, with complete patience and careful instruction.
3 Kubanga ekiseera kijja lwe baligaana okuwulira enjigiriza entuufu, era olw’okugoberera okwegomba kwabwe balyekuŋŋaanyiza abayigiriza, abalibayigiriza bye baagala, okuwulira.
For a time is coming when people will not tolerate sound doctrine, but having itching ears they will surround themselves with teachers to suit their own desires.
4 Baligaana okuwuliriza eby’amazima, ne bagoberera enfumo obufumo.
They will turn their ears away from the truth and be turned aside to myths.
5 Naye ggwe weefugenga mu bintu byonna, ogumirenga ebizibu, ng’okola omulimu ogw’omubuulizi w’enjiri, ng’otuukiririza ddala obuweereza bwo.
But as for yoʋ, be sober-minded in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, and fulfill yoʋr 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 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.
There is now laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that day, and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.
9 Fuba okujja amangu gye ndi.
Make every effort to come to me soon.
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, who is in love with this present world, has deserted me and gone to Thessalonica. Crescens has gone to Galatia, and Titus to Dalmatia. (aiōn g165)
11 Lukka yekka y’ali nange. Ggyayo Makko omuleete, kubanga annyamba nnyo mu buweereza.
Luke alone is with me. Get Mark and bring him with yoʋ, for he is useful to me for ministry.
12 Tukiko n’amutuma mu Efeso.
Tychicus I have 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.
When yoʋ come, bring the cloak that I left with Carpus in Troas, as well as my scrolls, especially the parchments.
14 Alegezanda, omuweesi w’ebikomo yankola ebyettima bingi. Mukama alimusasula olw’ebikolwa bye.
Alexander the coppersmith did me great harm. May the Lord repay him according to his works.
15 Naawe mwekuume, kubanga yawakanya nnyo ebigambo byaffe.
Yoʋ yoʋrself should be on guard against him, for he has vehemently opposed our message.
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 stand by me; instead, they all deserted me. May it not be counted 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 proclamation might be fully made and all the Gentiles might hear. And I was rescued from the 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 rescue me from every evil deed and preserve me for his heavenly kingdom. To him be the glory forever 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, and Trophimus, who was sick, I left in Miletus.
21 Fuba ojje ng’ebiseera by’obutiti tebinnaba kutuuka. Ewubulo akulamusizza, ne Pudente, ne Lino, ne Kulawudiya, n’abooluganda bonna.
Make every effort to come before winter. Eubulus greets yoʋ, and so 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 yoʋr spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.
