2 Timoti 3

1 Asi uzive chinhu ichi: Kuchava nenguva dzokutambudzika pamazuva okupedzisira.

And know this: that in the last days perilous times will press near.

2 Vanhu vachava vanozvida, vanoda mari, vanozvirumbidza, vanozvikudza, vanotuka, vasingateereri vabereki, vasingatendi, vasina utsvene,

Men will be lovers of themselves, greedy, self-exalting, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, wicked,

3 vasina rudo, vasingaregereri, vanochera vamwe, vasingazvidzori, vane utsinye, vasingadi zvinhu zvakanaka,

without affection, without peace, false accusers, unchaste, cruel, without kindness,

4 vanomukira, vanoita manyawi, vanonyengera, vanoda kuzvifadza nezvenyika kupfuura Mwari;

traitorous, reckless, self-important, loving pleasure more than God,

5 vane mufananidzo bedzi wokunamata Mwari asi vachiramba simba racho. Siyana navanhu ivavo.

even having the appearance of piety while rejecting its virtue. And so, avoid them.

6 Nokuti ndivo vaya vanoverevedza vachipinda mudzimba vachitapa vakadzi vasingazvibati vakaremedzwa nezvivi zvizhinji,

For among these are ones who penetrate houses and lead away, like captives, foolish women burdened with sins, who are led away by means of various desires,

7 vanogara vachidzidza asi vasingatongosviki pakuziva chokwadi.

always learning, yet never achieving knowledge of the truth.

8 Sezvakaita Janesi naJambiresi vakadzivisa Mozisi, varume avawo vanodzivisa zvokwadi, vanhu vane ndangariro dzakaora, kana pari pazvinhu zvokutenda, vakarasika.

And in the same manner that Jannes and Jambres resisted Moses, so also will these resist the truth, men corrupted in mind, reprobates from the faith.

9 Asi havangasviki kure, nokuti upenzi hwavo huchaonekwa navanhu vose.

But they will not advance beyond a certain point. For the folly of the latter shall be made manifest to all, just as that of the former.

10 Asi kunyange zvakadaro, iwe unoziva kudzidzisa kwangu kwose, mararamiro angu, chinangwa changu, kutenda kwangu, mwoyo murefu wangu, norudo, nokutsungirira,

But you have fully comprehended my doctrine, instruction, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, patience,

11 matambudziko, nhamo, nezvinhu zvose zvakaitika kwandiri muAndioki, Ikoniamu nomuRistra, nokutambudzwa kwose kwandakasangana nako. Asi Ishe akandinunura kubva pazviri zvose.

persecutions, afflictions; such things as happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, and at Lystra; how I endured persecutions, and how the Lord rescued me from everything.

12 Zvirokwazvo munhu wose anoda kurarama upenyu hwoumwari muna Kristu Jesu achatambudzwa,

And all those who willingly live the piety in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.

13 asi vanhu vakaipa navanonyengera vachanyanyisa kuipa, vachinyengera nokunyengerwa.

But evil men and deceivers will advance in evil, erring and sending into error.

14 Asi iwe, rambira pazvinhu zvawakadzidza uye ukatenda mazviri, nokuti unoziva kuti wakazvidzidza kubva kuna ani,

Yet truly, you should remain in those things which you have learned and which have been entrusted to you. For you know from whom you have learned them.

15 uye kuti kubva pauduku wakaziva Magwaro matsvene, anogona kukupa uchenjeri hunosvitsa kukuponeswa kubudikidza nokutenda muna Kristu Jesu.

And, from your infancy, you have known the Sacred Scriptures, which are able to instruct you toward salvation, through the faith which is in Christ Jesus.

16 Rugwaro rwose rwakafemerwa naMwari uye runobatsira pakudzidzisa, kurayira, kutsiura nokurayiridza mukururama,

All Scripture, having been divinely inspired, is useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in justice,

17 kuti munhu waMwari akwaniswe kwazvo, agadzirirwa mabasa ose akanaka.

so that the man of God may be perfect, having been trained for every good work.
