Timotheo II 3

1 Mme Timotheo gape itse se, gore mo malatsing a bofelo go tlaa nna bokete thata go nna Mokeresete.

Kodwa yazi lokhu, ukuthi ensukwini zokucina kuzafika izikhathi ezinzima.

2 Gonne batho ba tlaa nna baithati le barati ba madi a bone; ba tlaa nna maikgantsho le mabela, ba sotla Modimo, ba sa utlwe batsadi ba bone, ba sa ba tlotle, ebile ba le bosula gotlhelele.

Ngoba abantu bazakuba ngabazithandayo, abathanda imali, abazikhukhumezayo, abazigqajayo, abahlambazayo, abangalaleli abazali, abangabongiyo, abangangcwele,

3 Ba tlaa nna ditlhogo di thata ebile ba sa ineele mo go ba bangwe; ba tlaa nna baaki ba gale le dirukhutlhi ebile ba tlaa natefelwa ke mekgwa yotlhe e e bosula. Ba tlaa nna setlhogo, mme ba tlaa sotla ba ba lekang go dira tshiamo.

abangelathando ngemvelo, abangelakuxoliswa, abahlebayo, abangazikhuziyo, abalolaka, abangathandi okuhle,

4 Ba tlaa oka ditsala tsa bone; ba tlaa nna batenegi, baikgogomosi, e le barati ba dikgatlhego bogolo go go rata Modimo.

abanikela abanye, abalamawala, abazikhukhumezayo, abathanda intokozo kulokuthanda uNkulunkulu,

5 Ba tlaa ya kerekeng (phuthegong), ee, mme ga ba kitla ba dumela sepe se ba se utlwang. O se ka wa tsena mo bathong ba ba ntseng jalo.

abalesimo sokukhonza uNkulunkulu, kodwa amandla akho bewaphika; labanjalo baxwaye.

6 Ke ba ba kukunelang mo malwapeng a batho ba bangwe mme ba tsalane le basadi ba dieleele ba ba imelwang ke dibe, ba ba rute dithuto tsa bone tse dintsha.

Ngoba okuvela kubo labo ngabanyenyela ezindlini, njalo bathumbe abesifazana ababuthakathaka abasindwa yizono, bebuswa zinkanuko eziyinhlobonhlobo,

7 Basadi ba mofuta oo ba saletse ruri morago baruti ba ba makgapha mme ga ba tlhaloganye boammaaruri.

befunda njalonjalo, futhi bengasoze babelakho ukufika elwazini lweqiniso.

8 Mme baruti ba ba tlhabantsha boammaaruri fela jaaka Janese le Jamberese ba ne ba tlhabantsha Moshe. Ba na le megopolo e e leswe, e e sokameng ebile ba fapogile mo tumelong ya Sekeresete.

Njengoba-ke uJanesi loJambere bamelana loMozisi, ngokunjalo lalaba bamelana leqiniso, abantu abalengqondo eyonakeleyo, abangasizi lutho mayelana lokholo.

9 Mme ga ba kitla ba ya gope. Letsatsi lengwe tsietso ya bone e tlaa itsiwe sentle ke mongwe le mongwe jaaka boleo jwa ga Janese le Jamperese.

Kodwa kabayikuqhubekela phambili; ngoba ubuthutha babo buzakuba sobala kubo bonke, njengoba kwaba njalo lakobabo.

10 Mme wena o nkitse sentle gore ga ke motho yo o ntseng jalo. O itse se ke se dumelang le ka fa ke tshelang ka teng le se ke se batlang. O itse tumelo ya me mo go Keresete le ka fa ke bogileng ka teng. O itse lorato lwa me mo go wena, bobelotelele jwa me.

Kodwa wena ulandele ngokunanzelela imfundiso yami, ukuziphatha, injongo, ukholo, ukubekezela, uthando, ukuqinisela,

11 O itse matshwenyego a ke neng ka nna nao ka ntlha ya go rera Mafoko a a Molemo. O itse gotlhe mo go ntiragaletseng fa ke etetse kwa Antioka, Ikonia le kwa Lusetere, mme Morena o ne a nkgolola.

ukuzingelwa, izinhlupheko, njengalokhu okwangehlela eAntiyoki, eIkoniyuma, eListra, ukuzingelwa okunjani engakuthwalayo; njalo kukho konke iNkosi yangophula.

12 Ee, pogiso e tlaa tlela botlhe ba ba ikaeletseng go tshela botshelo jwa Modimo go itumedisa Keresete Jesu, e tswa mo go ba ba mo ilang.

Isibili labo bonke abathanda ukuphila ngokwesaba uNkulunkulu kuKristu Jesu bazazingelwa;

13 Ke boammaaruri, batho ba ba bosula ba tsietso ba tlaa dira go fetisisa, ba tsietsa ba le bantsi, bone ka bo bone ba tsieditswe ke Satane.

kodwa abantu ababi labakhohlisi bazaqhubekela phambili bedlulisa ebubini, bekhohlisa njalo bekhohliswa.

14 Mme o tshwanetse go tswelela go dumela dilo tse o di rutilweng. O a itse gore di boammaaruri gonne o itse gore o ka ikanya bangwe ba rona ba ba go rutileng.

Kodwa wena mana kulezozinto ozifundileyo lowaqiniseka kuzo, usazi ukuthi uzifunde kubani,

15 O itse sentle, gore erile o sa le mmotlana, o ne wa rutwa Dikwalo tse di boitshepo; mme ke tsone tse di go tlhalefesitseng go amogela poloka ya Modimo ka go ikanya Jesu Keresete.

lokuthi kusukela ebuntwaneni wayazi imibhalo engcwele, elamandla okukuhlakaniphisa kube sesindisweni ngokholo olukuKristu Jesu.

16 Baebele yotlhe re e neetswe ka tlhotlheletso ya Modimo gape e botlhokwa go re ruta se e leng boammaaruri le go re lemotsha se se sa siamang mo matshelong a rona; e a re tlhamalatsa ebile e re thusa go dira tshiamo.

Wonke umbhalo waphefumulelwa nguNkulunkulu, njalo ulungele imfundiso, ukukhalimela, ukuqondisa, ukufundisa okusekulungeni;

17 Ke tsela ya Modimo ya go re siamisa mo dilong tsotlhe, gore re felele mo go direleng batho botlhe tshiamo ka botlalo.

ukuze umuntu kaNkulunkulu aphelele, alungisiselwe wonke umsebenzi omuhle.
