2 Timoteo 4
1 Migyina Onyankopɔn ne Kristo Yesu a obebu ateasefo ne awufo ntɛn, ne ba a ɔbɛba ne nʼahenni no so hyɛ wo sɛ,
I give this solemn command before God and Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and because of his appearing and his kingdom:
2 ka asɛm no, na bere biara gyina ne ka mu dennen yi ntɛn. Ka anim, tu fo na kyerɛkyerɛ wɔ boasetɔ mu.
Preach the word; be ready when it is convenient and when it is not. Reprove, rebuke, exhort, with all patience and teaching.
3 Bere bi bɛba a nnipa rentie nkyerɛkyerɛ pa no, na mmom wobedi wɔn ara wɔn asɛde akyi na wɔaboaboa akyerɛkyerɛfo a wɔbɛka nsɛm a wɔrehwehwɛ atie no ano, na wɔaka akyerɛ wɔn.
For the time will come when people will not endure sound teaching. Instead, they will heap up for themselves teachers according to their own desires, who say what their itching ears want to hear.
4 Wɔbɛpo nokware no tie, na wɔatie anansesɛm.
They will turn their hearing away from the truth, and they will turn aside to myths.
5 Nanso mmere nyinaa mu no, ɛsɛ sɛ wohwɛ wo ho so yiye. Mia wʼani wɔ amanehunu mu. Yɛ ɔsɛmpakafo adwuma na di wo dwuma nyinaa sɛ Onyankopɔn somfo.
But you, be sober-minded in all things. Suffer hardship; do the work of an evangelist; fulfill your service.
6 Wogu so rehwie me sɛ afɔre ahwiesa, na bere abɛn sɛ migyaw asetena yi.
For I am already being poured out. The time of my departure has come.
7 Ɔko pa no, mako, mmirika no, mawie tu; gyidi no makora.
I have competed in the good contest; I have finished the race; I have kept the faith.
8 Afei nea ɛwɔ ma me ne nkonim akyɛde, trenee ahenkyɛw a Awurade a ɔyɛ Otemmufo treneeni no de bɛma me da no, ɛnyɛ me nko, na mmom, wɔn a wɔatena ase wɔ ɔdɔ mu atwɛn no no nyinaa.
The crown of righteousness has been reserved for me, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give to me on that day, and not to me only, but also to all those who have loved his appearing.
9 Bɔ mmɔden bra me nkyɛn ntɛm.
Do your best to come to me quickly.
10 Dema dɔɔ nnɛ wiase yi ma ɔyɛɛ saa guan gyaa me hɔ kɔɔ Tesalonika. Kreske kɔɔ Galatia, Tito nso kɔɔ Dalmatia. (aiōn g165)
For Demas has left me. He loves this present world and has gone to Thessalonica. Crescens went to Galatia, and Titus went to Dalmatia. (aiōn g165)
11 Luka nko ara na ɔne me wɔ ha. Fa Marko ka wo ho na wo ne no mmra, efisɛ obetumi aboa me adwuma no yɛ.
Only Luke is with me. Get Mark and bring him with you because he is useful to me in the work.
12 Mesomaa Tihiko kɔɔ Efeso.
Tychicus I sent to Ephesus.
13 Sɛ woreba a, fa mʼatade a migyaw wɔ Karpo nkyɛn wɔ Troa no brɛ me. Ɛyɛ a, fa me nwoma mmobɔwee no nso ka ho, ne titiriw no nea wɔde aboa nwoma yɛe no.
The cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus, bring it when you come, and the books, especially the parchments.
14 Aleksandro, kɔbere dwumfo no, haw me papaapa; Awurade betua no nea ɔyɛɛ no so ka.
Alexander the coppersmith displayed many evil deeds against me. The Lord will repay him according to his deeds.
15 Ɛyɛ a hwɛ wo ho yiye wɔ ne ho, efisɛ na ɔsɔre tia nsɛm a yɛka no mu denneennen.
You also should guard yourself against him, because he greatly opposed our words.
16 Bere a mereyi me ho ano no, obiara ammoa me. Wɔn nyinaa guan gyaa me. Onyankopɔn mfa nkyɛ wɔn.
At my first defense, no one stood with me. Instead, everyone left me. May it not be counted against them.
17 Nanso Awurade ne me tena maa me ahoɔden ma mitumi kaa asɛm no kyerɛɛ amanamanmufo ma wotiei. Ogyee me fii gyata anom.
But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me so that, through me, the message might be fully proclaimed, and that all the Gentiles might hear it; and that I was rescued out of the lion's mouth.
18 Na Awurade begye me afi bɔne nyinaa mu na ɔde me akɔ ɔsoro Ahenni no mu wɔ asomdwoe mu. Ɔno na anuonyam nka no daa daa. Amen. (aiōn g165)
The Lord will rescue me from every evil deed and will save me for his heavenly kingdom. To him be the glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
19 Kyia Priska ne Akwila ne Onesiforo fifo nyinaa ma me.
Greet Priscilla, Aquila, and the house of Onesiphorus.
20 Erasto kaa Korinto na migyaw Trofimo wɔ Mileto, efisɛ na ɔyare.
Erastus remained at Corinth, but Trophimus I left sick at Miletus.
21 Bɔ mmɔden bra ansa na awɔwbere adu. Eubulo ne Pude ne Lino ne Klaudia ne anuanom no nyinaa kyiakyia wo.
Do your best to come before winter. Eubulus greets you, also Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brothers.
22 Awurade ne wo honhom ntena. Adom nka mo nyinaa.
May the Lord be with your spirit. May grace be with you.
