2 Timoti 4
1 Ndinokurayira pamberi paMwari naKristu Jesu, achatonga vapenyu navakafa uye pamusoro pokuonekwa kwake noushe hwake kuti:
I charge [thee] therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will 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 instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, 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 lusts will they multiply to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4 Vachafuratidza nzeve dzavo kuchokwadi uye vachatsaukira kungano.
And they will turn away [their] ears from the truth, and will be turned to fables.
5 Asi iwe, usvinure pazvinhu zvose, tsungirira pamatambudziko, uite basa romuvhangeri, uite mabasa ose oushumiri hwako.
But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.
6 Nokuti ini ndava kutodururwa sechipiriso chinonwiwa, uye nguva yangu yokuenda yasvika.
For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.
7 Ndarwa kurwa kwakanaka, ndapedza nhangemutange yangu, ndachengeta kutenda kwangu.
I have fought a good fight, I have finished [my] course, 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, will give me at that day: and not to me only, but to all them also that love his appearing.
9 Ita napaunogona napo pose kuti ukurumidze kuuya kwandiri,
Do thy diligence to come shortly to me:
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 hath departed to Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia. (aiōn g165)
11 Ruka oga ndiye aneni. Tora Mako uuye naye, nokuti anondibatsira kwazvo paushumiri hwangu.
Luke only is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry.
12 Ndakatuma Tikikasi kuEfeso.
And Tychicus have I sent to Ephesus.
13 Paunouya, uuye nejasi randakasiya naKapasi paTiroasi, uye uuye nebhuku rangu, zvikuru magwaro amatehwe.
The cloke that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest, bring [with thee], and the books, [but] especially the parchments.
14 Arekizanda, mupfuri wendarira, akandiitira zvakaipa zvizhinji. Ishe achamutsiva pane zvaakaita.
Alexander the copper-smith did me much evil: the Lord reward him according to his works:
15 Newewo umuchenjerere, nokuti akapikisa zvikuru mashoko edu.
Of whom be thou aware also; for he hath greatly withstood our words.
16 Pakuzvidavirira kwangu kwokutanga, hapana munhu akandibatsira, asi vose vakandisiya. Ngavarege kupiwa mhosva nokuda kwaizvozvo.
At my first answer no man stood with me, but all [men] forsook me: [I pray God] that it may not be laid to their charge.
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.
Notwithstanding, the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and [that] all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.
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 will preserve [me] to his heavenly kingdom; to whom [be] glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

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