2 Timoti 3
1 Asi uzive chinhu ichi: Kuchava nenguva dzokutambudzika pamazuva okupedzisira.
But know this, that in the last days hard times will come;
2 Vanhu vachava vanozvida, vanoda mari, vanozvirumbidza, vanozvikudza, vanotuka, vasingateereri vabereki, vasingatendi, vasina utsvene,
and men will be lovers of themselves, and lovers of money, boastful, lofty, blasphemous, to their men not obedient, deniers of grace, impious, calumniators,
3 vasina rudo, vasingaregereri, vanochera vamwe, vasingazvidzori, vane utsinye, vasingadi zvinhu zvakanaka,
subjected to lust, brutal, haters of the good,
4 vanomukira, vanoita manyawi, vanonyengera, vanoda kuzvifadza nezvenyika kupfuura Mwari;
traitors, impetuous, puffed up, lovers of lusts rather than the love of Aloha;
5 vane mufananidzo bedzi wokunamata Mwari asi vachiramba simba racho. Siyana navanhu ivavo.
having a form of the worship of Aloha, but from the power of Aloha afar off: (them) who are such put from thee.
6 Nokuti ndivo vaya vanoverevedza vachipinda mudzimba vachitapa vakadzi vasingazvibati vakaremedzwa nezvivi zvizhinji,
For of them are they who creep into houses, and captivate women who are overladen with sins, and led away by divers lusts;
7 vanogara vachidzidza asi vasingatongosviki pakuziva chokwadi.
who, in all time learning, never to the knowledge of the truth are able to come.
8 Sezvakaita Janesi naJambiresi vakadzivisa Mozisi, varume avawo vanodzivisa zvokwadi, vanhu vane ndangariro dzakaora, kana pari pazvinhu zvokutenda, vakarasika.
But as Yonis and Yanbris stood against Musha, so also these stand against the truth: men whose understanding is corrupted, and reprobate from the faith.
9 Asi havangasviki kure, nokuti upenzi hwavo huchaonekwa navanhu vose.
But they shall not come further, for their folly is known to all men, as also of them it is known.
10 Asi kunyange zvakadaro, iwe unoziva kudzidzisa kwangu kwose, mararamiro angu, chinangwa changu, kutenda kwangu, mwoyo murefu wangu, norudo, nokutsungirira,
BUT thou hast followed my doctrine and my manners, and my purpose, and my faith, and my prolongedness of mind, and my charity, and my patience,
11 matambudziko, nhamo, nezvinhu zvose zvakaitika kwandiri muAndioki, Ikoniamu nomuRistra, nokutambudzwa kwose kwandakasangana nako. Asi Ishe akandinunura kubva pazviri zvose.
and my persecution, and my sufferings. And thou knowest what things I endured in Antioch, and in Ikonion, and in Lystra, what persecution I endured; and out of all these my Lord delivered me.
12 Zvirokwazvo munhu wose anoda kurarama upenyu hwoumwari muna Kristu Jesu achatambudzwa,
But all they who will in the fear of Aloha to live in Jeshu Meshiha, are persecuted.
13 asi vanhu vakaipa navanonyengera vachanyanyisa kuipa, vachinyengera nokunyengerwa.
But wicked men and seducers add to their wickedness, deceiving, and being deceived.
14 Asi iwe, rambira pazvinhu zvawakadzidza uye ukatenda mazviri, nokuti unoziva kuti wakazvidzidza kubva kuna ani,
But abide thou in those things that thou hast learned, and in which thou art confirmed; for thou knowest from whom thou hast learned:
15 uye kuti kubva pauduku wakaziva Magwaro matsvene, anogona kukupa uchenjeri hunosvitsa kukuponeswa kubudikidza nokutenda muna Kristu Jesu.
and that from thy childhood thou hast learned the holy writings, which are able to make thee wise to salvation, through faith which is in Jeshu Meshiha.
16 Rugwaro rwose rwakafemerwa naMwari uye runobatsira pakudzidzisa, kurayira, kutsiura nokurayiridza mukururama,
FOR all scripture which from the Spirit is written, is profitable for doctrine, and for rebuke, and for correction, and for instruction which is in righteousness:
17 kuti munhu waMwari akwaniswe kwazvo, agadzirirwa mabasa ose akanaka.
that the man of God may be perfect unto every good work, and completed.
