< 2 Timoti 2 >
1 Zvino iwe mwanakomana wangu, iva nesimba munyasha dziri muna Kristu Jesu.
2 Uye zvinhu zvawakanzwa ndichitaura pamberi pezvapupu zvizhinji zvipe kuvanhu vakatendeka avo vachazozvidzidzisawo vamwe.
3 Tsungirira pamwe chete nesu somurwi akanaka waKristu Jesu.
4 Hakuna munhu anoshanda somurwi anozviisa pazvinhu zvoupenyu hwavasiri varwi, nokuti anoda kufadza mukuru wake wehondo.
5 Zvimwe chetezvo, kana munhu achikwikwidza somumhanyi, haagoni kuwana korona yokukunda kunze kwokunge apedza nhangemutange sezvakarayirwa.
6 Murimi anoshanda nesimba ndiye anofanira kutanga kudya zvibereko.
7 Funga pamusoro pezvandinoreva, nokuti Ishe achakupa kunzwisisa pane izvi zvose.
8 Rangarirai Jesu Kristu, akamuka kubva kuvakafa, worudzi rwaDhavhidhi. Iri ndiro vhangeri rangu,
9 randinotambudzikira kunyange kusvikira pakusungwa segororo. Asi shoko raMwari harina kusungwa.
10 Naizvozvo ndinotsungirira pazvinhu zvose nokuda kwavasanangurwa, kuti naivowo vawane ruponeso rwuri muna Kristu Jesu, nokubwinya kusingaperi. (aiōnios )
11 Herino shoko rechokwadi: Kana takafa pamwe chete naye, tichararamawo pamwe chete naye;
12 kana tikatsungirira, tichabata ushe pamwe chete naye. Kana tikamuramba, iye achatirambawo;
13 kana tikasava nokutenda, iye anoramba akatendeka, nokuti haangazvirambi.
14 Ramba uchivayeuchidza zvinhu izvi. Uvayambire pamberi paMwari kuti varege kuita nharo pamusoro pamashoko; hazvina maturo, zvinongoparadza chete vaya vanoteerera.
15 Shingaira kuti uzviratidze pamberi paMwari, somunhu anogamuchirwa, mushandi asingafaniri kunyadziswa uye anonyatsoruramisa shoko rechokwadi.
16 Nzvenga kutaura kusinei naMwari, nokuti vaya vanhu vanodaro vacharamba vachirasikirwa noumwari.
17 Dzidziso yavo ichanyenga seronda. Pakati pavo pana Himenayasi naFiretasi,
18 vakatsauka kubva pazvokwadi. Vanoti kumuka kwavakafa kwakatopfuura, uye vanoparadza kutenda kwavamwe.
19 Kunyange zvakadaro, nheyo dzakasimba dzaMwari dzinomira, dzine chisimbiso ichi chinoti: “Ishe anoziva vanhu vake,” uye, “Ani naani anopupura zita raShe anofanira kubva pane zvakaipa.”
20 Muimba huru mune midziyo kwete yegoridhe kana yesirivha chete, asiwo yamatanda, neyevhu; mimwe inokudzwa, mimwe isingakudzwi.
21 Kana munhu achizvinatsa kwazvo pazvinhu izvi, achava mudziyo unokudzwa, wakaitwa mutsvene, wakawanirwa basa naTenzi uye wakagadzirirwa basa rose rakanaka.
22 Tiza kuchiva kwose kwoujaya, uye utevere kururama, kutenda, rudo norugare navose vanodana kuna Ishe nomwoyo wakachena.
23 Usava nechokuita nemibvunzo youpenzi isina maturo, nokuti unoziva kuti inongomutsa kukakavara.
24 Zvino muranda waIshe haafaniri kukakavara; asi anofanira kuva munyoro kumunhu wose, achigona kudzidzisa, asingatsamwi.
25 Vaya vanomupikisa anofanira kuvadzidzisa nounyoro, aine tariro yokuti Mwari achavapa kutendeuka vagoziva chokwadi,
26 uye kuti vachapengenuka vagopunyuka kubva mumusungo wadhiabhori, akavaita nhapwa kuti vaite kuda kwake.
