2 Timoti 4

1 Ndinokurayira pamberi paMwari naKristu Jesu, achatonga vapenyu navakafa uye pamusoro pokuonekwa kwake noushe hwake kuti:

I ADJURE thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the living and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;

2 Paridza shoko; ugare wakagadzirira panguva yakafanira kunyange isakafanira; rayira, tsiura, uye ukurudzire nomwoyo murefu zvikuru uye nokudzidzisa zvakanaka.

preach the word, be urgent, in season, out of season; reprove, enjoin, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine.

3 Nokuti nguva ichasvika vanhu pavacharamba kuteerera dzidziso yakarurama. Asi vachida zvinovafadza ivo, vachazviunganidzira vadzidzisi vazhinji kuti vadzidzise zvinodiwa nenzeve dzavo.

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own inclinations will set up a herd of teachers for themselves, having the itch of hearing;

4 Vachafuratidza nzeve dzavo kuchokwadi uye vachatsaukira kungano.

and will turn away their ears from the truth, and listen unto fables.

5 Asi iwe, usvinure pazvinhu zvose, tsungirira pamatambudziko, uite basa romuvhangeri, uite mabasa ose oushumiri hwako.

But watch thou in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fully discharge thy ministry.

6 Nokuti ini ndava kutodururwa sechipiriso chinonwiwa, uye nguva yangu yokuenda yasvika.

For I am now ready to be sacrificed, and the time of my dissolution approaches.

7 Ndarwa kurwa kwakanaka, ndapedza nhangemutange yangu, ndachengeta kutenda kwangu.

I have struggled hard in the honourable contest, 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.

henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, shall give me at that day: yet not to me only, but also to all who have loved his appearing.

9 Ita napaunogona napo pose kuti ukurumidze kuuya kwandiri,

Hasten to come to me shortly:

10 nokuti Dhemasi akada nyika yazvino, akandisiya akaenda kuTesaronika. Kiresenzi akaenda kuGaratia, uye Tito akaenda kuDharimatia. (aiōn g165)

for Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is gone unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia; Titus to Dalmatia. (aiōn g165)

11 Ruka oga ndiye aneni. Tora Mako uuye naye, nokuti anondibatsira kwazvo paushumiri hwangu.

Luke alone is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee; for he is very useful to me in the ministry.

12 Ndakatuma Tikikasi kuEfeso.

But Tychicus I have sent to Ephesus.

13 Paunouya, uuye nejasi randakasiya naKapasi paTiroasi, uye uuye nebhuku rangu, zvikuru magwaro amatehwe.

The cloke which I left behind me at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest bring, and the books, especially the parchments.

14 Arekizanda, mupfuri wendarira, akandiitira zvakaipa zvizhinji. Ishe achamutsiva pane zvaakaita.

Alexander the brazier did me many ill offices: the Lord repay him according to his works:

15 Newewo umuchenjerere, nokuti akapikisa zvikuru mashoko edu.

against whom be thou also on thy guard, for he hath greatly resisted our words.

16 Pakuzvidavirira kwangu kwokutanga, hapana munhu akandibatsira, asi vose vakandisiya. Ngavarege kupiwa mhosva nokuda kwaizvozvo.

At my first apology no man stood by me, but all forsook me: (may it not be imputed to 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, that by me the preaching might be fully discharged, and that all the Gentiles might hear; and I was snatched out of the 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 preserve me for his celestial kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

19 Ndikwazisire Pirisira naAkwira neveimba yaOnesiferasi.

Salute Priscilla and Aquila, and the house of Onesiphorus.

20 Erastasi akasara kuKorinde, uye ndakasiya Tirofimasi paMiretasi achirwara.

Erastus hath abode at Corinth: but Trophimus I left behind me at Miletum sick.

21 Ita napaunogona napo pose kuti uuye kuno chando chisati chasvika. Yubhurasi anokukwazisa, uyewo naPudhenzi, Rino, Kiraudhiyo nehama dzose.

Hasten to come before winter. Eubulus greeteth thee, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren.

22 Ishe ngaave nomweya wako. Nyasha ngadzive newe.

The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit. Grace be with you. Amen. The second epistle to Timothy, appointed the first bishop of the Ephesian church, was written from Rome, when the second time Paul stood before the Caesar Nero.
