< 2 Timothy 4 >

1 Minu ndikutumina va meso ma Nzambi ayi ma Yesu Klisto wela sambisa batu banzinga ayi bafua, mu diambu di bu kela monika ayi mu diambu di Kipfumu kiandi ti
I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of His appearing and His kingdom:
2 longa mambu ma Nzambi ayi longa mawu mu bufula mu zithangu zioso, yiba yifuana voti yikambu fuana. Totula luvunu lu batu, temina ayi lubula mu mvibusulu yingolo ayi lubula mu ndongolo.
Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and encourage with every form of patient instruction.
3 Bila thangu yidi yela ba ti batu bakadi buela zola wa malongi ma kiedika; vayi mu diambu di zitsatu ziawu bela kukivangila minlongi miwombo-wombo, miomi miela kuba kamba mambu momo makutu mawu matidi wa.
For the time will come when men will not tolerate sound doctrine, but with itching ears they will gather around themselves teachers to suit their own desires.
4 Bela kanga matu mawu mu diambu babika buela wa mambu ma kiedika vayi bela zibula mawu mu diambu di wa zinongo.
So they will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.
5 Vayi ngeyo, wukikeba mu mambu moso momo; vibidila mu ziphasi, sala kisalu kiaku ki kinsamuni ayi manisa kisalu bumboti.
But you, be sober in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.
6 Bila mu diambu diama ndidi wukubama mu tambuku banga dikaba ayi thangu yi kuendila yizidi.
For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time of my departure is at hand.
7 Minu ndinueni nduanunu yimboti, ndinakuni zithinu nate kuna tsuka; ndikebidi minu.
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
8 Buabu nzebi ti ndilundulu budu ki kipfumu ki busonga, kioki Pfumu, zuzi disonga, kela kuphana mu lumbu kina. Bika sia ti kuidi minu kaka vayi wela kivana kuidi baboso bobo banvingilanga mbonokono andi mu luzolo.
From now on there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but to all who crave His appearing.
9 Sia nsualu mu vika kuiza ku ndidi.
Make every effort to come to me quickly,
10 Bila Demasi wundiefudi; bu kavukumunkini mu landakana nza yayi ayi wuyenda kuandi ku Tesalonika. Kelesensi wuyenda ku Ngalatiya ayi Tite niandi wuyenda ku Dalimati. (aiōn g165)
because Demas, in his love of this world, has deserted me and gone to Thessalonica. Crescens has gone to Galatia, and Titus to Dalmatia. (aiōn g165)
11 Luka kaka widi yama vava. Bu wu nkuiza vitula Malako, kiza yaku bila mfunu ndimvuidi mu kisalu kiama.
Only Luke is with me. Get Mark and bring him with you, because he is useful to me in the ministry.
12 Ndituma Titsike ku Efeso.
Tychicus, however, I have sent to Ephesus.
13 Bu wunkuiza, buna wundatina yunga ki ndibika mu nzo Kalipusi ku Tolowasi ayi zibuku, buidi ziozi zivangimina mu minkanda mi bibulu.
When you come, bring the cloak that I left with Carpus at Troas, and my scrolls, especially the parchments.
14 Alekisandele, dimfulanga bisengo, wuphangila mambimbi mawombo. Vayi Pfumu wela kumvutudila boso buididi mavanga mandi.
Alexander the coppersmith did great harm to me. The Lord will repay him according to his deeds.
15 Mamvaku wukikeba mu diambu diandi, bila niandi wukakidila mu kingolo mambu meto.
You too should beware of him, for he has vigorously opposed our message.
16 Bu ndisamba mu khumbu yi thete, kadi mutu kasia kutsadisa ko; babo bathina. Vayi bika babika kuba tangila nzimbala yoyi.
At my first defense, no one stood with me, but everyone deserted me. May it not be charged against them.
17 Pfumu niandi wutelama va ndambu va ndiba ayi wukhindisa mu diambu di mu minu ndongolo yiba yiduka ayi yidukila mu makanda moso nate kuidi Bapakanu. Bukiedika minu ndikulu mu munu wu khosi.
But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, so that through me the message would be fully proclaimed, and all the Gentiles would hear it. So I was delivered from the mouth of the lion.
18 Nzebi ti Pfumu wela kukhula mu mavanga mamo mambimbi ayi wela kukheba mu diambu di mu Kipfumu kiandi ku Diyilu. Bika nkembo wubanga yandi mu zithangu zioso. Amen. (aiōn g165)
And the Lord will rescue me from every evil action and bring me safely into His heavenly kingdom. To Him be the glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
19 Vana mboti kuidi Pilisika ayi Akilasi ayi nzo yoso yi Onesifole.
Greet Prisca and Aquila, as well as the household of Onesiphorus.
20 Elasite wusiala ku Kolinto; mu kimbevo ndibika Tolofime ku Mile.
Erastus has remained at Corinth, and Trophimus I left sick in Miletus.
21 Tomba bu kuizila tuamina sivu. Ewubulusi, Pudensi, Linusi, Klodia ayi bakhomba zioso zifidisidi mboti.
Make every effort to come to me before winter. Eubulus sends you greetings, as do Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brothers.
22 Bika Pfumu kabanga mu Pheve aku. Nlemvo wubanga yaku.
The Lord be with your spirit. Grace be with you all.
