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 Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing 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 urgent in season, out of season, confute, rebuke, exhort with all long-suffering and teaching.
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 the time will come, when they will not endure sound doctrine, but after their own desires will they heap to themselves teachers; because they have itching ears;
4 Wɔbɛpo nokorɛ no tie, na wɔatie anansesɛm.
and they will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn aside to 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 watchful in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fully accomplish thy ministry.
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 already about to be offered as a sacrifice, and the time of my departure is at hand.
7 Ɔko pa no, mako, mmirika no, mawie tu; gyidie no makora.
I have fought the 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.
henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me at that day, and not to me only, but to all those who have loved his appearing.
9 Bɔ mmɔden bra me nkyɛn ntɛm.
Use diligence to come to me shortly.
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 forsook me, because he loved the present world, and went to Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus to 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 useful to me for the ministry.
12 Mesomaa Tihiko kɔɔ Efeso.
But Tychicus I 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 did 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.
of whom do thou also beware; 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 defence no one came forward 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 the preaching might be fully accomplished by me, and that all the gentiles might hear; and I was delivered out of the lion's mouth.
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 will deliver me from every evil deed, and preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom; to whom be the 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, but Trophimus I left at Miletus sick.
21 Bɔ mmɔden bra ansa na awɔberɛ aduru. Eubulo ne Pude ne Lino ne Klaudia ne anuanom no nyinaa kyeakyea wo.
Use diligence to come before winter. Eubulus saluteth thee, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren.
22 Awurade ne wo honhom ntena. Adom nka mo nyinaa.
The Lord be with thy spirit. Grace be with you.
