2 Timoti 2
1 Obe mwaname mulushomo, koyuminina mu nkumbo nshetukute mukwikatana ne Klistu Yesu.
Thou therefore, my sonne, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Iesus.
2 Konkela njiyishilo njowalanyumfwa ame kang'amba pa bakamboni bangi, nenjobe wiyisheko bantu beti bakacikonshe kwiyishako nabambi.
And what things thou hast heard of me, by many witnesses, ye same deliuer to faithfull men, which shalbe able to teache other also.
3 Mantamo lubasu mu mapensho pakubeti mushilikali washomwa wa Klistu Yesu.
Thou therefore suffer affliction as a good souldier of Iesus Christ.
4 Mushilikali nkakute kusha mano ku ncito shimbi, nsombi ukute kuyanda kukondwelesha mushilikali mukulene lamulangililinga.
No man that warreth, entangleth himselfe with the affaires of this life, because he woulde please him that hath chosen him to be a souldier.
5 Nendi weshikufwamba lubilo lwa kufola mali nkabela kumufolesha na walilwa kukonkela milawo ya mfwambilo.
And if any man also striue for a Masterie, he is not crowned, except he striue as he ought to doe.
6 kayi mulimi lasebensenga mwangofu ewela nanshi kulya bishango byakutanguna kutebula.
The husbandman must labour before he receiue the fruites.
7 Usheko mano ku makani ngondakwambili, Mwami Yesu nakakunyamfwe kwishiba bintu.
Consider what I say: and the Lord giue thee vnderstanding in all things:
8 Kwanukangeti, Yesu Klistu uyo walasemwa mu mukowa wa Dafeti, walapunduka kubafu mbuli ncolambanga Mulumbe Waina ngonkute kukambauka.
Remember that Iesus Christ, made of the seede of Dauid, was raysed againe from the dead according to my Gospel,
9 Ndasungwa ncetani eti kapondo muno mu jele cebo ca kukambauka Mulumbe Waina, nomba necikabeco maswi a Lesa nkasungwa ncetani sobwe.
Wherein I suffer trouble as an euill doer, euen vnto bondes: but the worde of God is not bounde.
10 Neco, nteti ntentuke cebo ca bantu mbwalasala Lesa kwambeti naboyo bakatambule lupulusho lwalesa kupitila muli Klistu Yesu kayi ne kutambula bulemu butapu. (aiōnios g166)
Therefore I suffer all things, for the elects sake, that they might also obtaine the saluation which is in Christ Iesus, with eternall glorie. (aiōnios g166)
11 Makani awa nacancine ncine alambangeti; Na twalafwila pamo nendi nitukekale nebuyumi pamo nendiye.
It is a true saying, For if we be dead together with him, we also shall liue together with him.
12 Na tulimbikila nitukendeleshe pamo. Na tukamukane, nendi nakatukane.
If we suffer, we shall also reigne together with him: if we denie him, he also will denie vs.
13 Na nkatwashomeka, nendi nakabenga washomeka, pakwinga nkela kulikana.
If we beleeue not, yet abideth he faithfull: he cannot denie himselfe.
14 Kobanushanga bantu bintu ibi, ne kubacenjesha mwangofu pamenso a Lesa kwambeti kabatatotekeshananga pa maswi, nkacikute kunyamfwa sobwe. pakwinga cikute kunyonganya bantu balakutikinga.
Of these things put them in remembrance, and protest before the Lord, that they striue not about wordes, which is to no profit, but to the peruerting of the hearers.
15 Elekesha mwangofu kuba wasuminishiwa pamenso a Lesa, eti musebenshi wabula nsoni; Ukute kwiyisha cena ancinencine.
Studie to shewe thy selfe approued vnto God, a workeman that needeth not to be ashamed, diuiding the worde of trueth aright.
16 Talamuka ku mibandi yabuluya italete bulemu kuli Lesa, pakwinga ikute kubatalamusha kuli Lesa.
Stay prophane, and vaine babblings: for they shall encrease vnto more vngodlinesse.
17 Pakwinga mibandi ilico ilyeti cilonda cinene citashilikiki. Humenayo ne Fileto ebantu basuna mibandi ilico,
And their worde shall fret as a canker: of which sort is Hymeneus and Philetus,
18 balashiyi mukondo wancine ncine, balanyonganyango'wa lushomo lwa bantu, balambangeti bantu bafwa balapunduka kendi, kwamba kulico nteko kwa ncinencine sobwe.
Which as concerning ye trueth haue erred from the marke, saying that the resurrection is past alreadie, and do destroy the faith of certaine.
19 Nikukabeco, mpwaibaka Lesa nkapela kutenkanishiwa sobwe, pakwinga palembweti, “Mwami, ubeshi bantu bakendi” Kayi pali maswi akwambeti, “Muntu lakambilinga Mwami aleke kwinsa bintu byabula kululama.”
But the foundation of God remaineth sure, and hath this seale, The Lord knoweth who are his: and, Let euery one that calleth on the Name of Christ, depart from iniquitie.
20 Mung'anda inene mukute kuba mbale shapusana pusana, shagolide neshasilifa neshakubesa kayi ne shakubumba. Pa mbale ishi pali shakusebensesha cindi conse, nashimbi nishakubensesha pa cindi celela.
Notwithstanding in a great house are not onely vessels of gold and of siluer, but also of wood and of earth, and some for honour, and some vnto dishonour.
21 Na muntu ucileka kwinsa byaipa, uliswepesha, ulyeti mbale shakusebensesha pa cindi celela, pakwinga nakabe waswepa kuli Mwami wakendi, kwambeti amusebenseshe cindi conse muncito yaina.
If any man therefore purge him selfe from these, he shalbe a vessell vnto honour, sanctified, and meete for the Lord, and prepared vnto euery good worke.
22 Talamuka ku lunkumbwa lwa mubili. Obe konkela bululami, nelushomo, nelusuno kayi ne lumuno. Ikatana pamo ne bantu balakambililinga Mwami ne myoyo yaswepa.
Flee also from the lustes of youth, and follow after righteousnes, faith, loue, and peace, with them that call on the Lord with pure heart,
23 Kayi koleka kumantamo lubasu mu kutotekeshanya kwa buluya kwabula mano, ucisheti kukutowa kuleta kukangana.
And put away foolish and vnlearned questions, knowing that they ingender strife.
24 Musebenshi wa Mwami Lesa nkela kuba shikukangano'wa ne bantu, nsombi wela kunyumfwila nkumbo bantu bonse, shikwiyisha wekalikana cena moyo.
But the seruant of ye Lord must not striue, but must be gentle toward all men, apt to teache, suffering the euill,
25 Kolicepeshanga wambanga ne bantu balakutotekenga, mpani Lesa ngobapa cindi ca kusanduka kwambeti beshibe ca ncinencine mwalumbuluka.
Instructing them with meekenesse that are contrary minded, prouing if God at any time will giue them repentance, that they may acknowledge the trueth,
26 Mpani mano abo ngabwelelamo kwambeti bafume mu kose ka Satana wabekateti bensenga ncalayandanga.
And come to amendment out of that snare of the deuil, of whom they are taken prisoners, to doe his will.
