2 Timoteo 2
1 Bhai ugwe mwanangu, ukole mashili kwa nema jitupegwa nkulundana na a Yeshu Kilishitu.
Thou therefore, my child, be strengthened in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
2 Na majiganyo gumpilikene ngulijiganya pa bhaakong'ondela bhabhagwinji, numbe mmwe mwaajiganyanje bhandunji bhaakulupalika, bhaakombolanga kwaajiganyanga bhananji.
And the things which thou hast heard from me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
3 Gwiilunde mmboteko pamo na nne, malinga nkomana ngondo jwa mmbone jwa a Yeshu Kilishitu.
Suffer hardship with [me], as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
4 Linjola pabha nkukomana ngondo akakwiibhuka nkukamula maengo gana, pabha shaapinga ni kwaanonyeya bhakulungwa bha likundi lyakwe.
No soldier on service entangleth himself in the affairs of [this] life; that he may please him who enrolled him as a soldier.
5 Nneyo peyo mundu apwatanila upo mwiing'ando, akapegwa upo ya kombola monaga jwangakaguya ikubho ya nng'andogo.
And if also a man contend in the games, he is not crowned, except he have contended lawfully.
6 Mundu atumbila kulima, ni apinjikwa abhe jwantai kupata shipeta sha mauno.
The husbandman that laboureth must be the first to partake of the fruits.
7 Nnganishiye kaje malobhe gungummalanjila gano, pabha Bhakulungwa shibhampe lumanyio lwa kugamanya gowe.
Consider what I say; for the Lord shall give thee understanding in all things.
8 Mwaakumbushile a Yeshu Kilishitu bhayushiywe bhakaweje, bha shipinga sha a Daudi, malinga shijitaya Ngani ja Mmbone jingulunguya jino.
Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, of the seed of David, according to my gospel:
9 Kwa lyene ligongolyo ngunapotekwa nitabhwa mbuti nkulebha, ikabheje lilobhe lya a Nnungu likatabhwa.
wherein I suffer hardship unto bonds, as a malefactor; but the word of God is not bound.
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)
Therefore I endure all things for the elect’s sake, that they also may obtain the salvation which 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.
Faithful is the saying: For if we died with him, we shall also live with him:
12 Monaga shituipililile, shitutagwale pamo na bhenebho. Na ibhaga shitwaakane bhenebho, na bhalabho shibhatukane uwe.
if we endure, we shall also reign with him: if we shall deny him, he also will deny us:
13 Nkali tubhe bhangakulupalilanga, bhenebho ni bhaakulupalikape, pabha ikaakomboleka kwiikana bhayene.”
if we are faithless, he abideth faithful; for he cannot deny himself.
14 Bhai, mwaakumbushiyanje bhandu gene malobhego, na mwaaleyanje pa meyo ga a Nnungu, bhanakolanje malobhe ga mitau, pabha gangali mana, ikabhe ganapuganya bhaapilikananga.
Of these things put them in remembrance, charging [them] in the sight of the Lord, that they strive not about words, to no profit, to the subverting of them that hear.
15 Ntumbile kwiilanguya kwa a Nnungu kuti mmaakulupalika, ntumishi jwangali oni, nnilunguya kwa aki ntenga gwa kweli gwa a Nnungu.
Give diligence to present thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, handling aright the word of truth.
16 Mwiembuye na nkungulu gwangali mana na gwa shingumba, pabha ganakwaashoyanga bhandunji nngulupai niileka kwaajogopa a Nnungu.
But shun profane babblings: for they will proceed further in ungodliness,
17 Majiganyo gabhonji ganajambushiya malinga libhanga shilijenela nshiilu, munkumbi gwabhonji bhapalinji a Imenayo na a Piletushi.
and their word will eat as doth a gangrene: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;
18 Bhanganyabho bhapuganikenje niileka ya kweli, bhalinkutinji kuyuywa kwa bhandunji kupitile, nipuganya ngulupai ya bhandu bhabhagwinji.
men who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already, and overthrow 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.”
Howbeit the firm foundation of God standeth, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his: and, Let every one that nameth the name of the Lord depart 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 great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some unto honour, and some unto dishonour.
21 Bhai mundu aikonjeleyaga niileka ilebho, shaabhe mundu jwa maengo gamakulungwa, sha ukonjelo shibhishilwe na bhayene nyumba, shaapwae kwa kila liengo lya mmbone.
If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, meet for the master’s use, prepared unto 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.
But flee youthful lusts, and follow after righteousness, faith, love, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
23 Mwiembuye na mitau ja shingumba na jangali mana, pabha mmumanyi kuti yeneyo inakumbuya mipwai.
But foolish and ignorant questionings refuse, knowing that they gender strifes.
24 Numbe ntumishi jwa Bhakulungwa akapinjikwa kubha jwa mipwai, ikabhe jwa kwiitimalika kubhandu bhowe, akombola kujiganya na kwiipililila.
And the Lord’s servant must not strive, but be gentle towards all, apt to teach, forbearing,
25 Anapinjikwa kwaaleyanga kwa kwiitimalika bhakuntaukanga, pana a Nnungu shibhaajalianje kwiipeta nikagula ya kweli.
in meekness correcting them that oppose themselves; if peradventure God may give them repentance unto the knowledge of the truth,
26 Nkupinga lunda lwabhonji lwaabhujilanje kabhili nikolobhoka nniyau lika Lishetani, lyabhatanjiyenje nkupinga bhatendanje yapinga jwenejo.
and they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by the Lord’s servant unto the will of God.
