2 Timoti 4

1 Pamenso a Lesa ne Klistu Yesu, uyo lakesanga kombolosha bayumi ne bafwa, pakwinga lakesanga kali Mwami, ndakwambilinga mwangofu ndeti,

I fully testify, then, before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who is about to judge [the] living and dead at His appearing and His Kingdom—

2 kambauka Mulumbe wa Lesa pa cindi bantu ncebalayandanga kukutika, ne pa cindi ncebatasuni kukutika. Balulamike nekubakalalila kayi ne kubayuminisha pakubeisha ca moyonteka.

preach the word; be earnest in season, out of season; convict, rebuke, exhort, in all long-suffering and teaching,

3 Cilakashikinga cindi nceti bakatatike kukana kwiyisha kwa ncine ncine, neco nibakayande beshikwiyisha bintu byelana ne mbyobalandanga kunyumfwa.

for there will be a season when they will not endure the sound teaching, but they will heap up teachers according to their own desires—having an itching ear,

4 Nibakakonkelengo'wa tulabi ne kukana kunyumfwa ca ncine ncine,

and, indeed, they will turn away from hearing the truth, and they will be turned aside to the fables.

5 obe kolilama mu bintu byonse, kotalefuka mumakatasho, sebensa ncito ya kukambauka Mulumbe Waina, kwanilisha ncito yakobe.

But you—watch in all things; suffer evil; do the work of one proclaiming good news; make full assurance of your ministry,

6 Ame ndili pepi kufwa. Buyumi bwakame bulyeti mulumbo uletilwanga pa nteme.

for I am already being poured out, and the time of my release has arrived;

7 Ndalwana nkondo yaina, ndapwishi kufwamba lubilo kayi ndashomeke mpaka kumapwililisho.

I have striven the good strife, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith;

8 Pa cino cindi munshini wa bululami ulampembelelenga uwo Mwami Lesa momboloshi walulama ngoshakampe pa busuba busa, nomba nteti akapo'wa ame ndenka, nsombi nakape bonse balapembelelenga kwisa kwakendi.

from now on there is laid up for me the garland of righteousness that the LORD—the Righteous Judge—will give to me in that day, and not only to me, but also to all those loving His appearing.

9 Fwambana kwisa kuno,

Be diligent to come to me quickly,

10 Dema layandishishi bintu bya mucishi lanshiyi waya ku Tesalonika. Kelesike waya ku Galatiya, neye Tito waya ku Dalamatiya, (aiōn g165)

for Demas forsook me, having loved the present age, and went on to Thessalonica, Crescens to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia; (aiōn g165)

11 Kuno ndili ne Luka enka. Pakwisa ukese pamo ne Maliko kwambeti akese akanyamfweko ncito.

only Lucas is with me; having taken Mark, bring [him] with you, for he is profitable to me for ministry;

12 Tukiko ndamutuma ku Efenso.

and I sent Tychicus to Ephesus;

13 Pakwisa ukandeteleleko munganjo ngondalashiya kuli Kalipo ku Tulowa, kayi ukaletelele asa mabuku akame abipaya.

coming, bring the cloak that I left in Troas with Carpus and the scrolls—especially the parchments.

14 Alekisandulo shatwela usa walanjinshila bintu byaipa, nsombi Mwami Lesa nakamubweshele byaipa.

Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil; may the LORD repay to him according to his works,

15 Alekisandulo walikutoteka mulumbe ngotwali kukambauka, ne njobe ucenjele nendi.

of whom you also beware, for he has greatly stood against our words;

16 Mpondali kulitabilisha pakomboloshewa pa cindi cakutanguna paliya walanyamfwa, bonse balamwaika. Nomba Lesa katabapa mulandu sobwe.

no one stood with me in my first defense, but all forsook me (may it not be reckoned to them),

17 Nomba Lesa walikuba ne njame, walampa ngofu sha kukambauka mulumbe kwambeti bantu batamwishi Lesa, kayi ndalapuluka kulufu.

but the LORD stood by me, and strengthened me, that the preaching might be fully assured through me, and all the nations might hear, and I was freed out of the mouth of a lion,

18 Lesa nakamfune mu byaipa byonse ne kuntwala mu Bwami bwakendi bwa kwilu. Kulyendiye kube bulemu butapu! Ameni. (aiōn g165)

and the LORD will free me from every evil work, and will save [me]—to His heavenly kingdom; to whom [is] the glory through the ages of the ages! Amen. (aiōn g165)

19 Umpeleko mitende Pulisika ne Akula ne ba mung'anda ya Onesifolo.

Greet Prisca and Aquilas, and Onesiphorus’ household;

20 Elasito washalila ku Kolinto, neye Tolofimo ndalamushiya kakolwa pa nsumbu ya Mileto.

Erastus remained in Corinth, and I left Trophimus ailing in Miletus;

21 Ufwambane kwisa kuno kacitana cishika cindi ca mupewo. Yubulu, ne Puludensi, ne Linosi ne Kolodiyasi kayi ne banse bonse bashoma muli Mwami Klistu balamupanga mitende.

be diligent to come before winter. Eubulus greets you, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brothers.

22 Mwami abe nenjobe kayi kwina moyo kwakendi Lesa kube nenjamwe.

The Lord Jesus Christ [is] with your spirit. The grace [is] with you! Amen.
