2 Timothy 3
1 Ṣùgbọ́n èyí ni kí o mọ̀ pé, ní ìkẹyìn ọjọ́ ìgbà ewu yóò dé.
But know this: Hard times will come in the last days.
2 Nítorí àwọn ènìyàn yóò jẹ́ olùfẹ́ ti ara wọn, olùfẹ́ owó, afọ́nnu, agbéraga, asọ̀rọ̀ búburú, aṣàìgbọràn sí òbí, aláìlọ́pẹ́, aláìmọ́.
For people will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemous, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,
3 Aláìnífẹ̀ẹ́, aláìlèdáríjì, abanijẹ́, aláìlè-kó-aràwọn-níjánu, òǹrorò, aláìnífẹ̀ẹ́ ohun rere,
without natural affection, irreconcilable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, having no love for what is good,
4 oníkúpani, alágídí, ọlọ́kàn gíga, olùfẹ́ fàájì ju olùfẹ́ Ọlọ́run lọ.
traitors, reckless, puffed up, and lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
5 Àwọn tí wọn ní àfarawé ìwà-bí-Ọlọ́run, ṣùgbọ́n tí wọn sẹ́ agbára rẹ̀; yẹra kúrò lọ́dọ̀ àwọn wọ̀nyí pẹ̀lú.
having a form of godliness but denying its power. Avoid such people.
6 Nítorí nínú irú èyí ni àwọn ti ń rákò wọ inú ilé, tí wọ́n sì ń di àwọn obìnrin aláìlọ́gbọ́n tí a di ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ rù ní ìgbèkùn, tí a sì ń fi onírúurú ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́ fà kiri.
Among them are those who worm their way into houses and captivate vulnerable women who are overwhelmed with sins and swayed by various evil desires.
7 Wọ́n ń fi ìgbà gbogbo kẹ́kọ̀ọ́, wọ́n kò sì lè dé ojú ìmọ̀ òtítọ́.
Such women are always learning yet never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
8 Ǹjẹ́ gẹ́gẹ́ bí Janesi àti Jamberi ti kọ ojú ìjà sí Mose náà ni wọ́n kọjú ìjà sí òtítọ́: àwọn ènìyàn tí inú wọn díbàjẹ́, àwọn ẹni ìtanù ní ti ọ̀ràn ìgbàgbọ́.
Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these false teachers also oppose the truth. They are corrupted in mind and have proven themselves to be unqualified with respect to the faith.
9 Ṣùgbọ́n wọn kì yóò lọ síwájú ju bẹ́ẹ̀ lọ, nítorí òmùgọ̀ wọn yóò farahàn fún gbogbo ènìyàn gẹ́gẹ́ bí ti àwọn méjì yìí náà, ti yọrí si.
But they will not make any further progress, for their folly will become obvious to everyone, just like the folly of Jannes and Jambres.
10 Ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ ti mọ ẹ̀kọ́ mi, ìgbésí ayé mi, ìpinnu, ìgbàgbọ́, ìpamọ́ra, ìfẹ́ sùúrù.
Yoʋ, however, have closely followed my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, love, and endurance.
11 Inúnibíni, ìyà; àwọn ohun tí ó dé bá mi ní Antioku, ní Ikoniomu ní Lysra; àwọn inúnibíni tí mo faradà: Olúwa sì gbà mi kúrò nínú gbogbo wọn.
Yoʋ know how much persecution and suffering I endured in Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. Yet the Lord rescued me from it all.
12 Nítòótọ́, gbogbo àwọn tí ó fẹ́ máa gbé ìgbé ayé ìwà-bí-Ọlọ́run nínú Kristi Jesu yóò faradà inúnibíni.
Indeed, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.
13 Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ènìyàn búburú, àti àwọn ẹlẹ́tàn yóò máa burú síwájú sí i, wọn ó máa tannijẹ, a ó sì máa tàn wọ́n jẹ.
But evil people and imposters will become worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.
14 Ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ dúró nínú nǹkan wọ̀nyí tí ìwọ ti kọ́, tí a sì ti jẹ́ kí ojú rẹ dá ṣáṣá sí, kí ìwọ sì mọ̀ ọ̀dọ̀ ẹni tí ìwọ gbé kọ́ wọn.
But as for yoʋ, continue in what yoʋ have learned and firmly believed, knowing from whom yoʋ have learned it,
15 Àti pé láti ìgbà ọmọdé ni ìwọ ti mọ Ìwé Mímọ́, tí ó lè sọ ọ́ di ọlọ́gbọ́n sí ìgbàlà nípasẹ̀ ìgbàgbọ́ nínú Kristi Jesu.
and how from childhood yoʋ have known the sacred writings, which are able to give yoʋ wisdom for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
16 Gbogbo ìwé mímọ́ ni ó ní ìmísí Ọlọ́run tí ó sì ní èrè fún ẹ̀kọ́, fún ìbániwí, fún ìtọ́ni, fún ìkọ́ni tí ó wà nínú òdodo.
All Scripture is inspired by God and is beneficial for teaching, reproof, correction, and instruction in righteousness,
17 Kí ènìyàn Ọlọ́run lè pé, tí a ti múra sílẹ̀ pátápátá fun iṣẹ́ rere gbogbo.
so that the man of God may be complete, fully equipped for every good work.
