2 Timoti 3
1 Asi uzive ichi, kuti mumazuva ekupedzisira nguva dzekutambudzika dzichasvika.
But know this: that in the last days, grievous times will come.
2 Nokuti vanhu vachava vanozvida, vanoda mari, vanozvirumbidza, vanozvikudza, vatuki, vasingateereri vabereki, vasingavongi, vasiri vatsvene,
For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 vasina rudo rwechisikirwo, vasingaregereri, vacheri, vasingazvidzori, vane hasha, vasingadi zvakanaka,
without natural affection, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, not lovers of good,
4 vatengesi, vanomhanyirira, vane manyawi, vanoda mafaro kupfuura kuda Mwari,
traitors, headstrong, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
5 vane mufananidzo wekunamata Mwari, asi vachiramba simba rawo; ubve pane vakadaiwo.
holding a form of godliness but having denied its power. Turn away from these, also.
6 Nokuti kwavari kunobva vanoverevedza mudzimba, vachitapa vakadzi nzenza, vakaremedzwa nezvivi, vachitungamirirwa nekuchiva kwakasiyana-siyana,
For some of these are people who creep into houses and take captive gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts,
7 vanongogara vachidzidza, asi havatongogoni kusvika paruzivo rwechokwadi.
always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
8 Sezvowo Jane naJambere vakapikisa Mozisi, saizvozvowo ava vanoramba chokwadi, vanhu vendangariro dzakaodzwa, vakaraswa maererano nerutendo.
Even as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these also oppose the truth, men corrupted in mind, who concerning the faith are rejected.
9 Asi havachapfuuriri mberi; nokuti upenzi hwavo huchaonekwa kune vese, sezvakazoita hwavowo.
But they will proceed no further. For their folly will be evident to all men, as theirs also came to be.
10 Asi iwe wakanyatsoteverera dzidziso yangu, mufambiro, chinangwa, rutendo, moyo murefu, rudo, kutsungirira,
But you followed my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, love, steadfastness,
11 kushushwa, nenhamo, zvakandiwira paAndiyokiya, paIkonio, nepaRistra, kushushwa kwakadini kwandakatsungirira makuri; uye Mwari wakandinunura kubva maari ese.
persecutions, and sufferings—those things that happened to me at Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. I endured those persecutions. The Lord delivered me out of them all.
12 Nevesewo vanoda kurarama mukunamata Mwari muna Kristu Jesu vachashushwa;
Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.
13 asi vanhu vakaipa nevanyengeri vachaenderera mberi pakuipa vachitsausa nekutsauswa.
But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.
14 Asi iwe rambira pazvinhu zvawakadzidza uye zvawakatendeswa, uchiziva kuti wakazvidzidza kuna ani,
But you remain in the things which you have learned and have been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them.
15 uye kuti kubvira paucheche wakaziva magwaro matsvene, anogona kukuchenjedza kusvikira pakuponeswa kubudikidza nerutendo rwuri muna Kristu Jesu.
From infancy, you have known the holy Scriptures which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16 Rugwaro rwese rwakafemerwa naMwari uye rwunobatsira padzidziso, pakutsiura, pakururamisa, nepakuraira kuri mukururama;
Every Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness,
17 kuti munhu waMwari ave wakakwana zvizere, agadzirirwa basa rese rakanaka.
that each person who belongs to God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
