2 Timoteo 2
1 Bhai ugwe mwanangu, ukole mashili kwa nema jitupegwa nkulundana na a Yeshu Kilishitu.
So you, my son, be strengthened by the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
2 Na majiganyo gumpilikene ngulijiganya pa bhaakong'ondela bhabhagwinji, numbe mmwe mwaajiganyanje bhandunji bhaakulupalika, bhaakombolanga kwaajiganyanga bhananji.
Also, the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit the same to faithful men who will be competent to teach others also.
3 Gwiilunde mmboteko pamo na nne, malinga nkomana ngondo jwa mmbone jwa a Yeshu Kilishitu.
You therefore are to endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
4 Linjola pabha nkukomana ngondo akakwiibhuka nkukamula maengo gana, pabha shaapinga ni kwaanonyeya bhakulungwa bha likundi lyakwe.
No one serving as a soldier gets entangled in the affairs of civilian life; he wants to please the one who enlisted him.
5 Nneyo peyo mundu apwatanila upo mwiing'ando, akapegwa upo ya kombola monaga jwangakaguya ikubho ya nng'andogo.
Further, if anyone competes in athletics, he is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules
6 Mundu atumbila kulima, ni apinjikwa abhe jwantai kupata shipeta sha mauno.
—the hardworking farmer should be the first to receive of the fruits.
7 Nnganishiye kaje malobhe gungummalanjila gano, pabha Bhakulungwa shibhampe lumanyio lwa kugamanya gowe.
Ponder what I am saying; may the Lord indeed give you understanding in it all.
8 Mwaakumbushile a Yeshu Kilishitu bhayushiywe bhakaweje, bha shipinga sha a Daudi, malinga shijitaya Ngani ja Mmbone jingulunguya jino.
Keep thinking of Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, of David's seed; this is my gospel,
9 Kwa lyene ligongolyo ngunapotekwa nitabhwa mbuti nkulebha, ikabheje lilobhe lya a Nnungu likatabhwa.
for which I am suffering to the point of being in chains like a criminal, but the Word of God is not chained.
10 Kwa nneyo ngunakwiipililila gowe, kwa ligongo lya bhandunji bhaagwilwenje na a Nnungu, nkupinga na bhalabhonji bhapatanje ntapulo nkulundana na a Yeshu Kilishitu, na ukonjelo gwa pitipiti. (aiōnios g166)
This is why I endure it all: for the sake of the chosen ones, that they also may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory. (aiōnios g166)
11 Na malobhe ga kulupalika gakuti, “Monaga tuwile pamo na bhenebho, nneyo peyo shitulame pamo na bhenebho.
This is a trustworthy word: If, indeed, we died together, we will also live together;
12 Monaga shituipililile, shitutagwale pamo na bhenebho. Na ibhaga shitwaakane bhenebho, na bhalabho shibhatukane uwe.
if we endure, we will also reign together; if we deny, He will also deny us;
13 Nkali tubhe bhangakulupalilanga, bhenebho ni bhaakulupalikape, pabha ikaakomboleka kwiikana bhayene.”
if we are faithless, He remains faithful —He is incapable of denying Himself.
14 Bhai, mwaakumbushiyanje bhandu gene malobhego, na mwaaleyanje pa meyo ga a Nnungu, bhanakolanje malobhe ga mitau, pabha gangali mana, ikabhe ganapuganya bhaapilikananga.
Keep reiterating these things, exhorting them before the Lord not to argue about words to no useful purpose—it just ruins the hearers.
15 Ntumbile kwiilanguya kwa a Nnungu kuti mmaakulupalika, ntumishi jwangali oni, nnilunguya kwa aki ntenga gwa kweli gwa a Nnungu.
Make every effort to render yourself approved by God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, handling the Word of the Truth correctly.
16 Mwiembuye na nkungulu gwangali mana na gwa shingumba, pabha ganakwaashoyanga bhandunji nngulupai niileka kwaajogopa a Nnungu.
But shun godless, empty chatter, because those who do it will become increasingly godless,
17 Majiganyo gabhonji ganajambushiya malinga libhanga shilijenela nshiilu, munkumbi gwabhonji bhapalinji a Imenayo na a Piletushi.
and their word will spread like gangrene—among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus,
18 Bhanganyabho bhapuganikenje niileka ya kweli, bhalinkutinji kuyuywa kwa bhandunji kupitile, nipuganya ngulupai ya bhandu bhabhagwinji.
who have wandered away from the Truth, saying that the resurrection has already occurred; and they overturn the faith of some.
19 Ikabheje a Nnungu bhabhishile ishi ya nyumba, ishimilishwe kwa olela ukoto, na gene malobhe gano, gashijandikwa pantundu yene ishii, “Bhakulungwa bhaamanyi bhandunji bhabho,” na kabhili, “Kila ashema lina lya Bhakulungwa, aleshe ilebho.”
Nevertheless, the solid foundation of God stands firm, having this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,” and let everyone who claims the name of the Lord keep away from unrighteousness.
20 Nnyumba jikulungwa ikaapagwa indu ya shaabhu na ela pe, ikabhe na indu ya mikongo na ya lilongo, ina ya tendela maengo gamashoko ina ya maengo gamakulungwa.
Now in a large house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay; some, to be sure, are for honor, but some are for dishonor.
21 Bhai mundu aikonjeleyaga niileka ilebho, shaabhe mundu jwa maengo gamakulungwa, sha ukonjelo shibhishilwe na bhayene nyumba, shaapwae kwa kila liengo lya mmbone.
So if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful to the Master, prepared for every good work.
22 Mwiembuye na ilokoli ya ushanda, nkagulile uguja na ngulupai na kupingana na ulele, pamo na bhene bhakwaajuganga Bhakulungwa kwa ntima gwa mmbone.
Flee the lusts of youth; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
23 Mwiembuye na mitau ja shingumba na jangali mana, pabha mmumanyi kuti yeneyo inakumbuya mipwai.
Refuse foolish and ignorant arguments, knowing that they breed quarrels.
24 Numbe ntumishi jwa Bhakulungwa akapinjikwa kubha jwa mipwai, ikabhe jwa kwiitimalika kubhandu bhowe, akombola kujiganya na kwiipililila.
Now a slave of the Lord should not quarrel but be gentle towards all, skillful at teaching, forbearing,
25 Anapinjikwa kwaaleyanga kwa kwiitimalika bhakuntaukanga, pana a Nnungu shibhaajalianje kwiipeta nikagula ya kweli.
correcting courteously those who oppose him, in hopes that God may grant them repentance leading to a real knowledge of Truth,
26 Nkupinga lunda lwabhonji lwaabhujilanje kabhili nikolobhoka nniyau lika Lishetani, lyabhatanjiyenje nkupinga bhatendanje yapinga jwenejo.
and that they may retrieve their senses out of the devil's snare (having been taken captive by him to do his will).
