2 Timotewu 2
1 Su gwenga mwana gwangu gugangamali muuheri wa Mlungu watupanananwa kwa njira ya kuwera pamuhera na Kristu Yesu.
Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace which is by Jesus the Messiah.
2 Gutoli mafundu galii gagupikaniriti panugabwera kulongolu kwa wakapitawu wavuwa, guwapanani wantu wawajimirika, walii yawavimana ntambu ya kuwafunda wamonga.
And the things thou hast heard from me by many witnesses, these commit thou to faithful men, who are competent to teach others also.
3 Gugangamali muntabiku gambira shonta mjimirika gwa Kristu Yesu.
And endure evils, as a good soldier of Jesus the Messiah.
4 Shonta pakawera mung'ondu kaliyingiziyi ndiri muvitwatira vya mashaka goseri, katendi vitwatira vya ng'ondu su kamfiriziyi mkulu gwa mashonta.
No man, on becoming a soldier, entangleth himself with the business of the world; that he may please him who enlisted him.
5 Viraa vilii muntu yoseri yakatuga mbiru kaweza ndiri kukanka na kupananwa lifupu lya kukanka handa pakajimira ndiri malagaliru ga madingu.
And if one contend in the games, he is not crowned, unless he contendeth according to the rules.
6 Yakalima mweni katenditi lihengu likamala kafiruwa kaweri gwa kwanja kwanka mabenu.
The husbandman who laboreth, ought first to feed on his fruits.
7 Guliholi aga gantakula, toziya Mtuwa hakakupanani makakala gakuvimana kila shintu.
Consider what I say. Our Lord give thee wisdom in all things.
8 Gumholi Yesu Kristu yakazyukusiyitwi, yakaweriti gwa lukolu lwa Dawudi, ntambu yashilonga Shisoweru Shiwagira yanushibwera,
Be mindful of Jesus the Messiah, that he arose from the dead; who was of the seed of David, according to my gospel,
9 hangu ntabika na ntawalilwa minyololu gambira mtenda makondola. Kumbiti Shisoweru sha Mlungu shitawika ndiri minyololu.
in which I suffer evils unto bonds, as if an evil-doer: but the word of God is not in bonds.
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)
Therefore I endure every thing, for the elect's sake; that they also may obtain life, in Jesus the Messiah, with eternal glory. (aiōnios g166)
11 Utakula awu wanakaka, “Handa tuhowiti pamuhera na yomberi, Hatulikali viraa pamuhera nayomberi.
Faithful is the saying, For if we shall have died with him, we shall also live with him;
12 Patwendeleya kuhepelera, Hatukolimlima pamuhera na yomberi viraa. Handa patumlema yomberi, Na yomberi hakatulemi twenga.
and, if we shall have suffered, we shall also reign with him. But if we shall have rejected him, he will reject us.
13 Handa patusinda kuwera wajimirika, Yomberi hakasigali mjimirika mashaka goseri, Toziya yomberi hapeni kagalambuli galii gakalonga.”
And if we shall have not believed in him, he abideth in his fidelity; for he cannot reject 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.
Of these things admonish thou them and charge them, before our Lord, that they dispute not, with unprofitable words, to the subversion of those who hear them.
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.
And study to present thyself before God, perfectly, a laborer who is not ashamed, one who correctly announceth the word of truth.
16 Gulikali kutali na visoweru vyavimfiriziya ndiri Mlungu na vya shizyigizyigi, toziya geni gongera kuwatenda wantu waweri kutali na Mlungu.
Avoid vain discourses, in which there is no profit; for they very much add to the wickedness of those occupied with them.
17 Mafundu ga ntambu ayi ndo handa lilonda lyalikula kanongola na kuliya nshimba. Pakati pawu yawafunditi aga ndo Himenayu na Filetu.
And their discourse, like an eating cancer, will lay hold upon many. And one of these is Hymeneus, and another Philetus;
18 Womberi wapotoka nentu na unakaka, wayihalibisiya njimiru ya wantu wamonga mushashatiku pawalonga handa uzyukisiya watuhepelera utendeka kala.
who have wandered from the truth, while they say, The resurrection of the dead hath passed: and they 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.”
But the firm foundation of God standeth; and it hath this seal, The Lord knoweth them who are his: and, Let every one who invoketh the name of our Lord, stand aloof 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 or silver, but also of wood and of pottery; and some of them for honor, and some for 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 therefore any one purge himself from these things, he will be a pure vessel for honor, fit for the use of his Lord, and 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.
Fly from all the lusts of youth; and follow after righteousness, and faith, and love, and peace, with them that invoke our Lord with a pure heart.
23 Gulikali kutali na makakatala ga uzigizigi na ungali mahala, guvimana handa aga gajega ndewu.
Avoid those foolish discussions which afford no instruction; for thou knowest, that they generate contests.
24 Su ntumintumi gwa Mtuwa nakalirewa. Kafiruwa kaweri mnanaga kwa wantu woseri, na Mfunda kaherepa na mhepelera.
And a servant of our Lord ought not to contend, but to be mild towards every one, and instructive, and patient;
25 Mweni ndo mnanaga pakawaberiziya wasingani wakuwi, toziya Mlungu mekawapanani lupenyu lya kuleka vidoda vyawu, na kuumana unakaka,
that with mildness he may enlighten those who dispute against him, if perhaps God may give them repentance, and they may acknowledge the truth,
26 kwa njira ayi kaweza kuvimana kulipota mumgomuziwu gwa mkondola gwakawagomuziyiti na kutenda wagajimiri mafiliru gakuwi.
and may recollect themselves, and may escape out of the snare of Satan, at whose pleasure they have been held ensnared.
