2 Timoti 4
1 Ndinokurayira pamberi paMwari naKristu Jesu, achatonga vapenyu navakafa uye pamusoro pokuonekwa kwake noushe hwake kuti:
Now then, in the presence of God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who is about to judge both living and dead, with a view to His appearing and His Kingdom, I give you this charge:
2 Paridza shoko; ugare wakagadzirira panguva yakafanira kunyange isakafanira; rayira, tsiura, uye ukurudzire nomwoyo murefu zvikuru uye nokudzidzisa zvakanaka.
Proclaim the Word; be ready in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and exhort, with lots of patience and teaching.
3 Nokuti nguva ichasvika vanhu pavacharamba kuteerera dzidziso yakarurama. Asi vachida zvinovafadza ivo, vachazviunganidzira vadzidzisi vazhinji kuti vadzidzise zvinodiwa nenzeve dzavo.
Because the time will come when they will not tolerate the sound doctrine; rather, they will accumulate for themselves a great many teachers who will tickle their ears according to their lusts
4 Vachafuratidza nzeve dzavo kuchokwadi uye vachatsaukira kungano.
—yes, they will turn their ears away from the Truth and be turned aside to fables.
5 Asi iwe, usvinure pazvinhu zvose, tsungirira pamatambudziko, uite basa romuvhangeri, uite mabasa ose oushumiri hwako.
But you, be sober in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.
6 Nokuti ini ndava kutodururwa sechipiriso chinonwiwa, uye nguva yangu yokuenda yasvika.
For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time of my departure has come.
7 Ndarwa kurwa kwakanaka, ndapedza nhangemutange yangu, ndachengeta kutenda kwangu.
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
8 Zvino ndakachengeterwa korona yangu yokururama, yandichapiwa, naIshe, mutongi akarurama pazuva iro, uye kwete ini ndoga, asiwo nokuna vose vanoshuva kuonekwa kwake.
Now the crown of the righteousness is reserved for me, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that Day; and not only to me, but also to all those who have longed for His appearing.
9 Ita napaunogona napo pose kuti ukurumidze kuuya kwandiri,
Do your best to come to me quickly;
10 nokuti Dhemasi akada nyika yazvino, akandisiya akaenda kuTesaronika. Kiresenzi akaenda kuGaratia, uye Tito akaenda kuDharimatia. (aiōn g165)
for Demas, loving this present world, has deserted me and gone to Thessalonica—Crescens to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia. (aiōn g165)
11 Ruka oga ndiye aneni. Tora Mako uuye naye, nokuti anondibatsira kwazvo paushumiri hwangu.
Only Luke is with me. Take Mark and bring him with you, for he is useful to me for ministry.
12 Ndakatuma Tikikasi kuEfeso.
Tychicus I sent to Ephesus.
13 Paunouya, uuye nejasi randakasiya naKapasi paTiroasi, uye uuye nebhuku rangu, zvikuru magwaro amatehwe.
Bring the cloak that I left with Carpus at Troas, when you come—and the books, especially the parchments.
14 Arekizanda, mupfuri wendarira, akandiitira zvakaipa zvizhinji. Ishe achamutsiva pane zvaakaita.
Alexander the coppersmith did me a lot of harm; may the Lord repay him according to his deeds.
15 Newewo umuchenjerere, nokuti akapikisa zvikuru mashoko edu.
You also guard against him, because he strongly opposed our words.
16 Pakuzvidavirira kwangu kwokutanga, hapana munhu akandibatsira, asi vose vakandisiya. Ngavarege kupiwa mhosva nokuda kwaizvozvo.
At my first defense no one came to help me, but all deserted me. May it not be held against them.
17 Asi Ishe akamira neni uye akandipa simba, kuti kubudikidza neni shoko riparidzwe zvakakwana uye kuti veDzimwe Ndudzi vose varinzwe. Uye ndakarwirwa kubva pamuromo weshumba.
But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and all the nations might hear. Also, I was delivered out of a lion's mouth;
18 Ishe achandirwira kubva pakurwiswa kwose kwakaipa uye achandiuyisa murugare kuumambo hwake hwokudenga. Kubwinya ngakuve kwaari nokusingaperi-peri. Ameni. (aiōn g165)
and the Lord will deliver me from every evil work and save me into His heavenly Kingdom; to whom be the glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
19 Ndikwazisire Pirisira naAkwira neveimba yaOnesiferasi.
Greet Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus.
20 Erastasi akasara kuKorinde, uye ndakasiya Tirofimasi paMiretasi achirwara.
Erastus stayed in Corinth, while I left Trophimus sick in Miletus.
21 Ita napaunogona napo pose kuti uuye kuno chando chisati chasvika. Yubhurasi anokukwazisa, uyewo naPudhenzi, Rino, Kiraudhiyo nehama dzose.
Do your best to come before winter. Eubulus greets you, as do Pudens, Linus, Claudia and all the brothers.
22 Ishe ngaave nomweya wako. Nyasha ngadzive newe.
The Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. The Grace be with you. Amen.
