2 Timoty 3
1 Rendreho te ho tondroke an-tsa sehanga’e añe ty hasotriañe.
Be aware that there will be troubled times in the last days.
2 Le ho mpikoko-teña naho mpitea vola ondatio, hibohaboha, hirengevoke, hiteratera, hanjehatse roae, tsy hañandriañe, tsy ho aman-kasy,
People will love themselves and love money. They will be boastful, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, and without God in their lives.
3 tsy ho aman-katea, tsy handrae raven-de, ho mpañinje, tsy maha-lie-batañe, tsy mirèke, mpalain-kasoa,
Heartless and unforgiving, they'll commit slander and have no self-control. Brutal people who hate what's good,
4 mpifotetse, mpanao ty tsy nahi’e, mpiebotsebotse, mpitea ty mahafalefale fe tsy mpikoko an’ Andrianañahare,
they will betray others and be totally thoughtless. They are absurdly full of themselves, living so much for pleasure that they don't care about loving God.
5 misare te aman-Kake f’ie mandietse ty haozara’e. Iholiaro!
They may give an outward impression of being religious, but they don't actually believe it works. Stay away from these people!
6 Am’ iereo ty mipiapia an-kivoho ao hitsepake ty rakemba seretse milogologo hakeo naho aviovio’ ty drao raty,
They're the kind of people that slip into homes and take control of vulnerable women who are burdened down by the guilt of sin and distracted by all kinds of desires.
7 nainai’e mioke, fa le lia’e tsy maharendreke ty hatò.
These women are always trying to learn but they're never able to understand the truth!
8 Hambañe amy nitambolitritria’ i Jana naho i Jambra i Mosèy, ty andiera’ iretia ty hatò; ondaty maleo-betsevetse; zoeñe koake tsy amam-patokisañe.
Just like Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, these teachers also oppose the truth. They are people with corrupted minds whose supposed trust in God is a lie.
9 Tsy hiraorao, fa halange amy màroy t’ie tsivokatse, manahake ty nizoeñe amy nitsaraeñe rey.
But they won't get far. Their stupidity will be obvious to everyone, just like that of Jannes and Jambres.
10 F’ie nañorike i fañòhakoy, ty satan-kaveloko, ty firefeako, ty fatokisako, ty fifeahako, ty fikokoako, ty fahaliñisako,
But you know all about my teaching and behavior, and my aim in life. You know my trust in God and my love. You know what I've had to endure—
11 ty fampisoañañe, ty faloviloviañe manahake i nitendreke amako e Antioka naho e Ikonioma naho e Listra añe rezay—Akore o samporerahañe nifeahakoo, fe rinomba’ i Talè amy iabiy.
how I've been persecuted and what I've suffered. You know what happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, and at Lystra—the troubles I had and how the Lord rescued me from all of them.
12 Eka, toe fonga ho samporeraheñe ze te hañorike i Hake am’ Iesoà Norizañey,
Of course it's true that everyone who wants to live a life devoted to God in Christ Jesus will experience persecution,
13 fe hiharaty avao ondaty lo-tserekeo naho o mpamorekeo; mamañahy mbore ifañahiañe.
while wicked people and frauds will do well, going from bad to worse, deceiving others and deceiving themselves too.
14 Ihe ka, toloño o nioha’o naho niantofa’oo, fohiñe o nandrendreha’o azeo,
But you must hold onto the things you've learned and are convinced are true. You know who taught you.
15 naho te nifohi’o boak’ amy naha’ ajaja azoy o Sokitse Masiñe mete mampahihitseo, hitaoñe azo mb’ am-pandrombahañe t’ie miato am’ Iesoà Norizañey.
From your childhood you've known the holy Scriptures which can give you understanding for salvation by trusting in Christ Jesus.
16 Nikofòn’ Añahare ze hene Sokitse Masiñe, le mahasoa ami’ty fañòhañe, fañendahañe, fañitiañe vaho fanoroan-kavantañañe,
All Scripture inspired by God is useful for teaching, for confronting what is wrong, for setting us straight, and for telling us what is right.
17 hahafonirañe ondatin’ Añahareo ho veka’e amy ze fitoloñan-tsoa iaby.
This is how God provides a thorough preparation for those who work for him to accomplish all that's good.
