2 Timoteo 3
1 Kae saa asɛm yi. Nna a edi akyiri no, mmere no mu bɛyɛ den.
But know this, that in the last days grievous times will come.
2 Nnipa bi bɛyɛ pɛsɛmenkominya, aniberefo, ahohiahiafo ne ahantanfo; wɔbɛyɛ abususɛnkafo, asoɔdenfo wɔ wɔn awofo so; wɔbɛyɛ bonniayɛ na wɔrempɛ nyamesom nso,
For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without
3 wɔbɛyɛ atirimɔdenfo, wɔrenhu mmɔbɔ, wɔbɛyɛ nnipa dinsɛefo basabasa ne abufuwfafo, wɔbɛtan wɔn mfɛfo a wɔyɛ nnipa pa no,
natural affection, implacable, slanderers, incontinent, fierce, without love for what is good,
4 wɔbɛyɛ afatwafo, anuɔdenfo, wɔn a wɔhoran; wɔbɛpɛ anigye sen sɛ wɔdɔ Onyankopɔn.
betrayers, headstrong, puffed up, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God;
5 Wɔbɛyɛ aniani asomfo a wɔbɛpo tumi a ɛwɔ ɔsom no mu no. Twe wo ho fi saa nnipa no ho.
having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof. And from these turn away.
6 Wɔn mu bi kɔ afi mu kɔhyɛ mmea a wɔn bɔne ama wodi fɔ na akɔnnɔ ahorow bebree hyɛ wɔn so no so;
For of these are they who creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away by divers lusts,
7 saa mmea no yɛ nnipa a wɔpɛ sɛ wosua nneɛma foforo, nanso wonhu nokware no akyi kwan.
ever learning, and never able to come to the full knowledge of the truth.
8 Sɛnea Yan ne Yambre ne Mose dii asi no, saa ara nso na saa nnipa yi ne nokware di asi. Wɔyɛ nnipa a wɔn adwene asɛe na wonsi hwee wɔ gyidi mu.
Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so also do these withstand the truth; men corrupted in their minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
9 Wonnya nkɔso biara efisɛ obiara behu wɔn kwasea.
But they will proceed no further; for their folly will be clearly manifest to all, as that of those men was.
10 Na wo de, woadi me nkyerɛkyerɛ, me suban ne me botae so. Woahu gyidi a mewɔ, me boasetɔ, me dɔ,
But thou art well acquainted with my teaching, manner of life, purpose, faith, long-suffering, love, patience,
11 taa a wɔtaa me ne mʼamanehunu nyinaa. Wunim nsɛm a ɛtotoo me wɔ Antiokia, Ikoniom ne Listra, ne ɔtaa dennen a mitumi gyinaa ano no. Nanso Awurade yii me fii ne nyinaa mu.
persecutions, sufferings; what things came upon me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured, and out of them all the Lord delivered me.
12 Wɔn a wɔpɛ sɛ wɔde onyamesom pa tena ase wɔ Kristo Yesu mu nyinaa no, wɔbɛtaa wɔn,
Yea, and all that desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.
13 nanso nnipa bɔne bɛkɔ so asɛe daa na wɔadaadaa afoforo ne wɔn ankasa wɔn ho.
But evil men and impostors will wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.
14 Nanso wo de, kɔ so tena ase nokware mu sɛnea wɔkyerɛɛ wo no, na gye di yiye. Wunim wɔn a wusua fii wɔn nkyɛn,
But do thou continue in the things which thou didst learn and wast assured of, knowing from what teachers thou didst learn them,
15 na wokae nso sɛ efi wo mmofraase na woahu Kyerɛwsɛm no a etumi ma wuhu nyansa, na ɛma wunya gyidi wɔ Kristo Yesu mu, na egye wo nkwa.
and that from a child thou hast known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation, through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16 Kyerɛwsɛm nyinaa fi Onyankopɔn home mu, na eye ma nkyerɛkyerɛ, atɛnyi, ateɛteɛ ne trenee mu yɛn,
All Scripture is inspired by God, and is profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for discipline in righteousness;
17 sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a Onyankopɔn nipa bɛyɛ nea wɔasiesie no yiye ama nnwuma pa nyinaa.
that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto every good work.
