2 Timoti 3
1 Asi uzive chinhu ichi: Kuchava nenguva dzokutambudzika pamazuva okupedzisira.
But know this: Hard times will come in the last days.
2 Vanhu vachava vanozvida, vanoda mari, vanozvirumbidza, vanozvikudza, vanotuka, vasingateereri vabereki, vasingatendi, vasina utsvene,
For people will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemous, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,
3 vasina rudo, vasingaregereri, vanochera vamwe, vasingazvidzori, vane utsinye, vasingadi zvinhu zvakanaka,
without natural affection, irreconcilable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, having no love for what is good,
4 vanomukira, vanoita manyawi, vanonyengera, vanoda kuzvifadza nezvenyika kupfuura Mwari;
traitors, reckless, puffed up, and lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
5 vane mufananidzo bedzi wokunamata Mwari asi vachiramba simba racho. Siyana navanhu ivavo.
having a form of godliness but denying its power. Avoid such people.
6 Nokuti ndivo vaya vanoverevedza vachipinda mudzimba vachitapa vakadzi vasingazvibati vakaremedzwa nezvivi zvizhinji,
Among them are those who worm their way into houses and captivate vulnerable women who are overwhelmed with sins and swayed by various evil desires.
7 vanogara vachidzidza asi vasingatongosviki pakuziva chokwadi.
Such women are always learning yet never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
8 Sezvakaita Janesi naJambiresi vakadzivisa Mozisi, varume avawo vanodzivisa zvokwadi, vanhu vane ndangariro dzakaora, kana pari pazvinhu zvokutenda, vakarasika.
Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these false teachers also oppose the truth. They are corrupted in mind and have proven themselves to be unqualified with respect to the faith.
9 Asi havangasviki kure, nokuti upenzi hwavo huchaonekwa navanhu vose.
But they will not make any further progress, for their folly will become obvious to everyone, just like the folly of Jannes and Jambres.
10 Asi kunyange zvakadaro, iwe unoziva kudzidzisa kwangu kwose, mararamiro angu, chinangwa changu, kutenda kwangu, mwoyo murefu wangu, norudo, nokutsungirira,
Yoʋ, however, have closely followed my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, love, and endurance.
11 matambudziko, nhamo, nezvinhu zvose zvakaitika kwandiri muAndioki, Ikoniamu nomuRistra, nokutambudzwa kwose kwandakasangana nako. Asi Ishe akandinunura kubva pazviri zvose.
Yoʋ know how much persecution and suffering I endured in Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. Yet the Lord rescued me from it all.
12 Zvirokwazvo munhu wose anoda kurarama upenyu hwoumwari muna Kristu Jesu achatambudzwa,
Indeed, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.
13 asi vanhu vakaipa navanonyengera vachanyanyisa kuipa, vachinyengera nokunyengerwa.
But evil people and imposters will become worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.
14 Asi iwe, rambira pazvinhu zvawakadzidza uye ukatenda mazviri, nokuti unoziva kuti wakazvidzidza kubva kuna ani,
But as for yoʋ, continue in what yoʋ have learned and firmly believed, knowing from whom yoʋ have learned it,
15 uye kuti kubva pauduku wakaziva Magwaro matsvene, anogona kukupa uchenjeri hunosvitsa kukuponeswa kubudikidza nokutenda muna Kristu Jesu.
and how from childhood yoʋ have known the sacred writings, which are able to give yoʋ wisdom for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
16 Rugwaro rwose rwakafemerwa naMwari uye runobatsira pakudzidzisa, kurayira, kutsiura nokurayiridza mukururama,
All Scripture is inspired by God and is beneficial for teaching, reproof, correction, and instruction in righteousness,
17 kuti munhu waMwari akwaniswe kwazvo, agadzirirwa mabasa ose akanaka.
so that the man of God may be complete, fully equipped for every good work.
