2 Timotewu 2
1 Su gwenga mwana gwangu gugangamali muuheri wa Mlungu watupanananwa kwa njira ya kuwera pamuhera na Kristu Yesu.
Therefore, my son, be strong in the favor which is through Christ Jesus.
2 Gutoli mafundu galii gagupikaniriti panugabwera kulongolu kwa wakapitawu wavuwa, guwapanani wantu wawajimirika, walii yawavimana ntambu ya kuwafunda wamonga.
And what things you have heard from me by many witnesses, these commit in trust to faithful men, who shall be fit also to teach others.
3 Gugangamali muntabiku gambira shonta mjimirika gwa Kristu Yesu.
Endure evil as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
4 Shonta pakawera mung'ondu kaliyingiziyi ndiri muvitwatira vya mashaka goseri, katendi vitwatira vya ng'ondu su kamfiriziyi mkulu gwa mashonta.
No man who wars entangles himself with the occupations of this life, that he may please him, who has chosen him to be a soldier.
5 Viraa vilii muntu yoseri yakatuga mbiru kaweza ndiri kukanka na kupananwa lifupu lya kukanka handa pakajimira ndiri malagaliru ga madingu.
And also if one contend in the games, he is not crowned unless he contend according to the laws.
6 Yakalima mweni katenditi lihengu likamala kafiruwa kaweri gwa kwanja kwanka mabenu.
It becomes the husbandman to labor, before he partakes of the fruits.
7 Guliholi aga gantakula, toziya Mtuwa hakakupanani makakala gakuvimana kila shintu.
Consider what I say; and may the Lord give you understanding in all things!
8 Gumholi Yesu Kristu yakazyukusiyitwi, yakaweriti gwa lukolu lwa Dawudi, ntambu yashilonga Shisoweru Shiwagira yanushibwera,
Remember, Jesus Christ, of the seed of David, has been raised from the dead, according to my gospel;
9 hangu ntabika na ntawalilwa minyololu gambira mtenda makondola. Kumbiti Shisoweru sha Mlungu shitawika ndiri minyololu.
for which I suffer evil as a malefactor, even to bonds; but the word of God is not bound.
10 Hangu nankuhepelera muvitwatira vyoseri toziya ya wantu wawasagulitwi na Mlungu, su womberi viraa wanki ulopoziya wawupananwa kwa njira Kristu Yesu weni kajega ukwisa wa mashaka goseri. (aiōnios g166)
For this cause I patiently bear all things on account of the elect; that they, indeed, may obtain the salvation which is by Christ Jesus with eternal glory. (aiōnios g166)
11 Utakula awu wanakaka, “Handa tuhowiti pamuhera na yomberi, Hatulikali viraa pamuhera nayomberi.
This saying is true, that if we die with him, we shall also live with him:
12 Patwendeleya kuhepelera, Hatukolimlima pamuhera na yomberi viraa. Handa patumlema yomberi, Na yomberi hakatulemi twenga.
if we suffer patiently, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us.
13 Handa patusinda kuwera wajimirika, Yomberi hakasigali mjimirika mashaka goseri, Toziya yomberi hapeni kagalambuli galii gakalonga.”
Though we be unfaithful, he abides faithful; he can not deny himself.
14 Su guwaholiziyi wantu waku vitwatira avi na kuwaberiziya kulongolu kwa Mlungu waleki ndewu ya visoweru. Ukakatala awu utanga ndiri, su ujega uhalibisiya mkulu kwa walii yawapikanira.
Put them in remembrance of these things; earnestly testifying to them in the presence of the Lord, not to fight about words for nothing useful, but to the subverting of the hearers.
15 Gugangamali kulilanguziya kuwera mjimirika palongolu pa Mlungu gambira mtenda lihengu mweni yakawona ndiri soni toziya ya lihengu lyakuwi mweni yakafunda weri shisoweru sha nakaka.
Strive to exhibit yourself to God an approved workman, irreproachable, rightly dividing the word of truth.
16 Gulikali kutali na visoweru vyavimfiriziya ndiri Mlungu na vya shizyigizyigi, toziya geni gongera kuwatenda wantu waweri kutali na Mlungu.
But profane empty babblings resist, for they will increase to more ungodliness.
17 Mafundu ga ntambu ayi ndo handa lilonda lyalikula kanongola na kuliya nshimba. Pakati pawu yawafunditi aga ndo Himenayu na Filetu.
And their word will eat as a gangrene: for whom are Hymeneus and Philetus;
18 Womberi wapotoka nentu na unakaka, wayihalibisiya njimiru ya wantu wamonga mushashatiku pawalonga handa uzyukisiya watuhepelera utendeka kala.
who, concerning the truth, have erred, affirming that the resurrection has already happened, and do subvert the faith of some.
19 Kumbiti unakaka wa Mlungu uweriti ungagamala gambira libuwi lya lyanjiru, visoweru avi vilembwa panani pakuwi. “Mtuwa kawamana walii yawaweriti wakuwi,” Na “Kila muntu yakalishema handa yomberi ndo gwa Mtuwa na kaleki ukondola.”
Nevertheless, the foundation of God stands firm, having this inscription, The Lord has made known them who are his: -- and, Let every one who names the name of Christ, depart from iniquity.
20 Mngati munumba nkulu, mwana mabakuli na vyombu vya kila ntambu, vyamonga vya vinyawitwi kwa mabuhi ga mpiya na zaabu vya kutendera mahengu ga gweka, vyamonga vyombu vya mitera na vyombu vya ukaka vyakutendera mahengu ga mashaka goseri.
But, in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earthenware; some to honor, and some to dishonor.
21 Su handa muntu pakalipunga kwa kulitula kutali na vitwatira vya ukondola woseri, hakaweri handa shitenderu sha kutendera lihengu lya gweka toziya kusyagulwa na kamfiriziya Mtuwa gwakuwi na kawera kala kwa kila lihengu liherepa.
If, then, a man will cleanse himself well from these, he will be a vessel appointed to honor, sanctified, and very profitable for the master's use, prepared for every good work.
22 Gukali kutali na lumatamata lya untemba, gufati yagamfiriziya Mlungu na njimiru na mafiliru na ponga pamuhera na wantu woseri yawamluwa Mtuwa kwa moyu gwaguherepa.
Flee, therefore, youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, with them who call on the Lord from a pure heart.
23 Gulikali kutali na makakatala ga uzigizigi na ungali mahala, guvimana handa aga gajega ndewu.
Moreover, foolish and ignorant questions reject, knowing that they beget contentions;
24 Su ntumintumi gwa Mtuwa nakalirewa. Kafiruwa kaweri mnanaga kwa wantu woseri, na Mfunda kaherepa na mhepelera.
and the servant of the Lord must not be contentious, but gentle toward all men, fit to teach, patiently bearing evil,
25 Mweni ndo mnanaga pakawaberiziya wasingani wakuwi, toziya Mlungu mekawapanani lupenyu lya kuleka vidoda vyawu, na kuumana unakaka,
in meekness instructing those who set themselves in opposition; if, by any means God will give them reformation to the acknowledgment of truth;
26 kwa njira ayi kaweza kuvimana kulipota mumgomuziwu gwa mkondola gwakawagomuziyiti na kutenda wagajimiri mafiliru gakuwi.
and they may awake up out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.
