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 thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at his appearing, in 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 instant both in season and out of season; convince, rebuke, exhort with all long-suffering and instruction.
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 bear sound doctrine; but having itching ears, will heap up to themselves teachers after their own hearts:
4 Baligaana okuwuliriza eby’amazima, ne bagoberera enfumo obufumo.
and turn away their attention 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 be thou watchful in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, give full proof of thy ministry.
6 Nze kaakano mpebwayo, era ekiseera kyange eky’okuva ku nsi kituuse.
For I am now going to be sacrificed, and the time of my dissolution is near.
7 Nnwanye okulwana okulungi, mmalirizza olugendo lwange, nkuumye okukkiriza kwange.
I have fought the good fight, I have finished my 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.
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 Fuba okujja amangu gye ndi.
Endeavour to come to me soon: for Demas hath forsaken me,
10 Kubanga Dema yandekawo ng’ayagala omulembe gwa kaakano, n’agenda e Sessaloniika. Kulesuke yagenda Ggalatiya ne Tito n’agenda e Dalumatiya. (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 Lukka yekka y’ali nange. Ggyayo Makko omuleete, kubanga annyamba nnyo mu buweereza.
Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is useful to me in the ministry.
12 Tukiko n’amutuma mu Efeso.
And 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 thou comest, bring with thee the cloke, that I left at Troas with Carpus; and the books, but especially the parchments.
14 Alegezanda, omuweesi w’ebikomo yankola ebyettima bingi. Mukama alimusasula olw’ebikolwa bye.
Alexander the brazier did me many ill turns: the Lord will reward him according to his deeds.
15 Naawe mwekuume, kubanga yawakanya nnyo ebigambo byaffe.
Of whom do thou also beware: for he hath greatly opposed our doctrine.
16 Mu kuwoza kwange okwasooka, tewaali n’omu yajja kubeera nange, bonna banjabulira. Nsaba Katonda ekyo kireme kubavunaanibwa.
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 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; 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 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 will preserve me to his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory throughout all ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
19 Nnamusiza Pulisika ne Akula n’ab’omu maka ga Onesifolo.
Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the family of Onesiphorus.
20 Erasuto yasigalayo mu Kkolinso, ate Tulofiimo namuleka mu Mireeto nga mulwadde.
Erastus staid at Corinth, and 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.
Endeavour therefore to come to me before winter. Eubulus saluteth thee, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and indeed all the brethren.
22 Mukama waffe abeerenga n’omwoyo gwo. Ekisa kibeerenga nammwe mwenna.
The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit. Grace be with you all. Amen.
