2 Timoteo 3
1 Kae saa asɛm yi. Nna a ɛdi akyire no mu mmerɛ no mu bɛyɛ den.
But know this, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 Nnipa bi bɛyɛ pɛsɛmenkomenya, aniberefoɔ, ahohiahiafoɔ ne ahantanfoɔ; wɔbɛyɛ abususɛnkafoɔ, asoɔdenfoɔ wɔ wɔn awofoɔ so; wɔbɛyɛ bonniayɛ na wɔrempɛ nyamesom nso,
For men will be lovers of themselves, moneylovers, arrogant, proud, blasphemous, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,
3 wɔbɛyɛ atirimuɔdenfoɔ, wɔrenhu mmɔbɔ, wɔbɛyɛ nnipa edinsɛefoɔ basabasa ne abufupɛfoɔ, wɔbɛtane wɔn mfɛfoɔ a wɔyɛ nnipa pa no,
without natural affections, covenant breakers, devilish, intemperate, furious, opposed to good,
4 wɔbɛyɛ afatwafoɔ, aniɛdenfoɔ, wɔn a wɔhoran; wɔbɛpɛ anikadeɛ sene sɛ wɔdɔ Onyankopɔn.
traitors, headstrong, puffed up, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God;
5 Wɔbɛyɛ aniani asomfoɔ a wɔbɛpo tumi a ɛwɔ ɔsom no mu no. Twe wo ho firi saa nnipa no ho.
having a form of godliness, but denying the power of the same: and from these turn away.
6 Wɔn mu bi kɔ afie mu kɔhyɛ mmaa a wɔn bɔne ama wɔdi fɔ na akɔnnɔ ahodoɔ bebree hyɛ wɔn so no so;
For of these are those creeping into houses, and leading captive little, silly women laden with sins, being led by divers lusts,
7 saa mmaa no yɛ nnipa a wɔpɛ sɛ wɔsua nneɛma foforɔ, nanso wɔnhunu nokorɛ no akyiri kwan.
always learning, and never able to come into the perfect knowledge of the truth.
8 Sɛdeɛ Yane ne Yambre ne Mose dii asie no, saa ara nso na saa nnipa yi ne nokorɛ di asie, nnipa a wɔn adwene asɛe na wɔnnka hwee wɔ gyidie mu.
In the manner in which Jannes and Jambres also resisted Moses, so these indeed resist the truth; men who are corrupt as to their mind, reprobate concerning the faith.
9 Wɔnnya nkɔsoɔ biara ɛfiri sɛ, obiara bɛhu nkwasea a wɔyɛ te sɛ Yane ne Yambre ara pɛ.
But they shall proceed no further: for their insanity will be manifest to all, as theirs also was.
10 Na wo deɛ, woadi me nkyerɛkyerɛ, me suban ne me botaeɛ so. Woahunu gyidie a mewɔ ne me boasetɔ, me dɔ,
Burt you have followed my teaching, leadership, purpose, faith, long suffering, divine love, patience,
11 taa a wɔtaa me ne mʼamanehunu nyinaa. Wonim nsɛm a ɛtotoo me wɔ Antiokia, Ikoniom ne Listra, ne ɔtaa denden a metumi gyinaa ano no. Nanso, Awurade yii me firii ne nyinaa mu.
persecutions, sufferings; such as came to me in Antioch, in Iconium, in Lystra; such persecutions as I endured: and the Lord delivered me out of them all.
12 Wɔn a wɔpɛ sɛ wɔde onyamesom pa tena ase Kristo Yesu mu nyinaa no, wɔbɛtaa wɔn,
But truly all wishing to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.
13 nanso nnipa bɔne bɛkɔ so asɛe daa na wɔadaadaa afoforɔ ne wɔn ankasa wɔn ho.
But wicked men and seducers will wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.
14 Nanso, wo deɛ, kɔ so tena ase nokorɛ mu sɛdeɛ wɔkyerɛɛ wo no, na gye di yie. Wonim wɔn a wosua firii wɔn nkyɛn,
But abide thou in those things which thou hast learned and in which thou hast been instructed, knowing from whom thou hast learned;
15 na wokae nso sɛ ɛfiri wo mmɔfraase woahunu Atwerɛsɛm no a ɛtumi ma wo hunu nyansa, na ɛma wo nya gyidie wɔ Kristo Yesu mu, na ɛgye wo nkwa.
and that from an infant thou hast known the holy scriptures which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16 Atwerɛsɛm nyinaa firi Onyankopɔn home mu, na ɛyɛ ma nkyerɛkyerɛ, atɛnyie, atenetene ne tenenee mu yɛn,
All scripture is God-breathed and profitable unto teaching, unto conviction, unto correction, unto instruction which is in righteousness:
17 sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a Onyankopɔn onipa bɛyɛ deɛ wɔasiesie no yie ama nnwuma pa nyinaa.
in order that the man of God may be perfect, having been thoroughly perfected unto every good work.
