2 Timoteo 4

1 Megyina Onyankopɔn ne Kristo Yesu a ɔbɛbu ateasefoɔ ne awufoɔ atɛn, ne ba a ɔbɛba ne nʼahennie no so hyɛ wo sɛ,

I charge thee, before God and Jesus Christ, who shall judge the living and the dead, by his coming, and his kingdom:

2 ka asɛm no, na ɛberɛ biara gyina ne ka mu denden yi atɛn. Ka anim, tu fo na kyerɛkyerɛ boasetɔ mu.

Preach the word: be instant in season, out of season: reprove, entreat, rebuke in all patience and doctrine.

3 Ɛberɛ bi bɛba a nnipa rentie nkyerɛkyerɛ pa no, na mmom, wɔbɛdi wɔn ara wɔn asɛdeɛ akyi na wɔaboaboa akyerɛkyerɛfoɔ a wɔbɛka nsɛm a wɔrepɛ atie no ano, na wɔaka akyerɛ wɔn.

For there shall be a time, when they will not endure sound doctrine; but, according to their own desires, they will heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears:

4 Wɔbɛpo nokorɛ no tie, na wɔatie anansesɛm.

And will indeed turn away their hearing from the truth, but will be turned unto fables.

5 Nanso mmerɛ nyinaa mu no, ɛsɛ sɛ wohwɛ wo ho so yie. Mia wʼani wɔ amanehunu mu. Yɛ ɔsɛmpakafoɔ adwuma na di wo dwuma nyinaa sɛ Onyankopɔn ɔsomfoɔ.

But be thou vigilant, labour in all things, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill thy ministry. Be sober.

6 Me deɛ, ɛberɛ aduru sɛ wɔde me bɔ afɔdeɛ. Ɛberɛ aso sɛ megya asetena yi. Me nkwa ayɛ sɛ hwiesa afɔrebɔ wɔ afɔrebukyia so.

For I am even now ready to be sacrificed: and the time of my dissolution is at hand.

7 Ɔko pa no, mako, mmirika no, mawie tu; gyidie no makora.

I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.

8 Adeɛ a ɛretwɛn me seesei ne nkonim akyɛdeɛ, tenenee abotire a Awurade a ɔyɛ tenenee ɔtemmufoɔ no de bɛma me da no. Ɛnyɛ me nko, na mmom, wɔn a wɔtena ase ɔdɔ mu twɛn no no nyinaa.

As to the rest, there is laid up for me a crown of justice, which the Lord the just judge will render to me in that day: and not only to me, but to them also that love his coming.

9 Bɔ mmɔden bra me nkyɛn ntɛm.

Make haste to come to me quickly.

10 Dema dɔɔ ɛnnɛ ewiase yi maa ɔyɛɛ saa dwane gyaa me hɔ kɔɔ Tesalonika. Kreske kɔɔ Galatia, Tito nso kɔɔ Dalmatia. (aiōn g165)

For Demas hath left me, loving this world, and is gone to Thessalonica: Crescens into Galatia, Titus into Dalmatia. (aiōn g165)

11 Luka nko ara na ɔne me wɔ ha. Fa Marko ka wo ho na wo ne no mmra, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔbɛtumi aboa me adwuma no yɛ.

Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry.

12 Mesomaa Tihiko kɔɔ Efeso.

But Tychicus I have sent to Ephesus.

13 Sɛ woreba a, fa mʼatadeɛ a megyaa wɔ Karpo nkyɛn wɔ Troa no brɛ me. Ɛyɛ a fa me nwoma no nso ka ho, ne titire no, deɛ wɔde aboa nwoma yɛeɛ no.

The cloak that I left at Troas, with Carpus, when thou comest, bring with thee, and the books, especially the parchments.

14 Aleksandro, kɔbere dwumfoɔ no, haa me papaapa; deɛ ɔyɛeɛ no, Awurade bɛtua ne so ka.

Alexander the coppersmith hath done me much evil: the Lord will reward him according to his works:

15 Ɛyɛ a hwɛ wo ho yie wɔ ne ho, ɛfiri sɛ, na ɔsɔre tia nsɛm a yɛka no mu dendeenden.

Whom do thou also avoid, for he hath greatly withstood our words.

16 Ɛberɛ a mereyi me ho ano no, obiara ammoa me. Wɔn nyinaa dwane gyaa me. Onyankopɔn mmfa nntia wɔn.

At my first answer no man stood with me, but all forsook me: may it not be laid to their charge.

17 Nanso, Awurade ne me tenaeɛ maa me ahoɔden maa metumi kaa asɛm no kyerɛɛ amanamanmufoɔ maa wɔtieeɛ. Ɔgyee me firii gyata anom.

But the Lord stood by me, and strengthened me, that by me the preaching may be accomplished, and that all the Gentiles may hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.

18 Na Awurade bɛgye me afiri bɔne nyinaa mu na ɔde me akɔ ɔsoro Ahennie no mu asomdwoeɛ mu. Ɔno na animuonyam nka no daadaa. Amen. (aiōn g165)

The Lord hath delivered me from every evil work: and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

19 Kyea Priska ne Akwila ne Onesiforo fiefoɔ nyinaa ma me.

Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus.

20 Erasto kaa Korinto ɛnna megyaa Trofimo wɔ Mileto, ɛfiri sɛ, na ɔyare.

Erastus remained at Corinth. And Trophimus I left sick at Miletus.

21 Bɔ mmɔden bra ansa na awɔberɛ aduru. Eubulo ne Pude ne Lino ne Klaudia ne anuanom no nyinaa kyeakyea wo.

Make haste to come before winter Eubulus and Pudens, and Linus and Claudia, and all the brethren, salute thee.

22 Awurade ne wo honhom ntena. Adom nka mo nyinaa.

The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.
