2 KuThimothi 3
1 Kodwa yazi lokhu, ukuthi ensukwini zokucina kuzafika izikhathi ezinzima.
Nawe umenye linu: kunanku ja kubhutero okubhayo omwanya mukomeye.
2 Ngoba abantu bazakuba ngabazithandayo, abathanda imali, abazikhukhumezayo, abazigqajayo, abahlambazayo, abangalaleli abazali, abangabongiyo, abangangcwele,
Kwo kubha abhanu bhalibha bho kwiyenda bhenene, abho kwenda jiyera, abhe chigundu, bhanyatorobhera abhebhusi bhebhwe, bhanyatasima, abho bhaterere.
3 abangelathando ngemvelo, abangelakuxoliswa, abahlebayo, abangazikhuziyo, abalolaka, abangathandi okuhle,
Bhanyantenda bhejabho, bhanyantaroma gumwi, bhabheeresha, bhanyantabharirira, na abharuru bhanu bhatakwenda abhekisi.
4 abanikela abanye, abalamawala, abazikhukhumezayo, abathanda intokozo kulokuthanda uNkulunkulu,
Bhanu abharoma abhejabho muninku, abhakasinye na abhanu abho kwikuya, bhanu abhenda olwikuya kukira Nyamuanga.
5 abalesimo sokukhonza uNkulunkulu, kodwa amandla akho bewaphika; labanjalo baxwaye.
Kwa anja bhano lususo lwo kumenya Nyamuanga, mbe nawe mbamwigana amanaga gaye. Abho wikenge nabho.
6 Ngoba okuvela kubo labo ngabanyenyela ezindlini, njalo bathumbe abesifazana ababuthakathaka abasindwa yizono, bebuswa zinkanuko eziyinhlobonhlobo,
Kwabho bhaliyo abhalume abhanu abhengira mumisi mbakongya abhagasi bhamumu. Bhanu ni bhakosi bhanu bhejuye ebhibhibhi bhyanfu, bhanu bhatungirwe inamba ya bhuli mbaga.
7 befunda njalonjalo, futhi bengasoze babelakho ukufika elwazini lweqiniso.
Abhagasi bhanu abheigira jinaku jona, nawe bharatamibhwe okukinga mukusombokerwa kwe chimali.
8 Njengoba-ke uJanesi loJambere bamelana loMozisi, ngokunjalo lalaba bamelana leqiniso, abantu abalengqondo eyonakeleyo, abangasizi lutho mayelana lokholo.
Lwa kutiyo Yane na Yambre bhatimbire mbateshanya na Musa. Kwa injila inu abhalimu bhanu bho lurimi bhetimbire bhateshanyishe ne chimali. Ni bhanu abho bhanyamuywe ameganirisho gebhwe, bhatakwikirisibhwa ne likilisha.
9 Kodwa kabayikuqhubekela phambili; ngoba ubuthutha babo buzakuba sobala kubo bonke, njengoba kwaba njalo lakobabo.
Mbe nawe bhatakugenderera kura. Kwo kubha obhumumu bhwebhwe obhubha abhweru kubhanu bhona, lwa kutyo bhwaliga bhuli ku bhanu bhaliya.
10 Kodwa wena ulandele ngokunanzelela imfundiso yami, ukuziphatha, injongo, ukholo, ukubekezela, uthando, ukuqinisela,
Mbe nawe ulubhilishe ameigisho gani, mukalibhatiye kani, obhukarae bhwani, okwikirisha kwani, okwigumirisha kwani, okwenda kwani no kulindilira kwani,
11 ukuzingelwa, izinhlupheko, njengalokhu okwangehlela eAntiyoki, eIkoniyuma, eListra, ukuzingelwa okunjani engakuthwalayo; njalo kukho konke iNkosi yangophula.
jinyako, obhwashe na ganu gambwene eliya Antiokia, Ikonio na Listra. Negumilisishe okunyasibhwa. Omukama ankisishe mwago gona.
12 Isibili labo bonke abathanda ukuphila ngokwesaba uNkulunkulu kuKristu Jesu bazazingelwa;
Bhona bhanu bhekaye kwo kumwikanya Nyamuanga mu Kristo Yesu bhalinyasibhwa.
13 kodwa abantu ababi labakhohlisi bazaqhubekela phambili bedlulisa ebubini, bekhohlisa njalo bekhohliswa.
Nawe abhanu bhabhibhi na bholurimi bhalisagirira okubheya. Abhabhusha abhandi. Na abhenene bhabheyibhwe.
14 Kodwa wena mana kulezozinto ozifundileyo lowaqiniseka kuzo, usazi ukuthi uzifunde kubani,
Mbe nawe awe, igumilisha ku misango jinu weigiye no kujikirisha mu kwimalira. Kwo kubha umenyere ati weigiye kuga.
15 lokuthi kusukela ebuntwaneni wayazi imibhalo engcwele, elamandla okukuhlakaniphisa kube sesindisweni ngokholo olukuKristu Jesu.
Umenyele ati okusoka mubhulera bhwao wamenyere amaandiko ameru. Ganu agatura okukwengesha mu mweruro kwa injira yo kwikirisha mu Kristo Yesu.
16 Wonke umbhalo waphefumulelwa nguNkulunkulu, njalo ulungele imfundiso, ukukhalimela, ukuqondisa, ukufundisa okusekulungeni;
Bhuli musango gunu gwandikirwe ni mwika gwa Nyamuanga. Gwiire okwikirisibhwa kwo kuleta omweruro kwo kongya, kwo kuyana ebhibhibhi, no kwiigisha mu bhurengeresi.
17 ukuze umuntu kaNkulunkulu aphelele, alungisiselwe wonke umsebenzi omuhle.
Koleleki omunu wa Nyamuanga agumire abhe na bhyona bhinu bhiire ku milimu jona ja kisi.
