2 Timothy 4
1 Nítorí náà mo pàṣẹ fún ọ níwájú Ọlọ́run, àti Kristi Jesu, ẹni tí yóò ṣe ìdájọ́ alààyè àti òkú, àti nítorí ìfarahàn rẹ̀ àti ìjọba rẹ̀.
I adjure you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus who is about to judge the living and the dead - by his appearing and his kingdom, I adjure you -
2 Wàásù ọ̀rọ̀ náà, ṣe àìsimi ní àkókò tí ó wọ̀, àti àkókò ti kò wọ̀; bá ni wí, ṣe ìtọ́ni, gbani níyànjú pẹ̀lú ìpamọ́ra àti ẹ̀kọ́ gbogbo.
proclaim the message, be urgent in season and out of season; convince, rebuke, encourage, with never-failing patience and teaching.
3 Nítorí pé ìgbà yóò dé, tí wọn kì yóò lè gba ẹ̀kọ́ tí ó yè kooro, ṣùgbọ́n bí wọ́n ti jẹ́ ẹni tí etí ń rin, wọn ó lọ kó olùkọ́ jọ fún ara wọn nínú ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́ ara wọn.
For a time will come when they will not listen to wholesome teaching, but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will heap up for themselves teachers upon teachers to satisfy their own fancies.
4 Wọ́n ó sì yí etí wọn padà kúrò nínú òtítọ́, wọn ó sì yípadà sí ìtàn asán.
They will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn aside to myths.
5 Ṣùgbọ́n máa faradà ìpọ́njú, ṣe iṣẹ́ efangelisti, ṣe iṣẹ́ rẹ láṣepé.
But as for you, be always self-controlled, face hardships, do the work of a missionary, discharge all the duties of your ministry.
6 Nítorí à ń fi mi rú ẹbọ nísinsin yìí, àtilọ mi sì súnmọ́ etílé.
I for my part am a libation already being poured in sacrifice; and the time of my unmooring is at hand.
7 Èmi ti ja ìjà rere, èmi tí parí iré-ìje mi, èmi ti pa ìgbàgbọ́ mọ́.
I have fought in the glorious contest; I have run the race; I have kept the faith.
8 Láti ìsinsin yìí lọ a fi adé òdodo lélẹ̀ fún mi, tí Olúwa onídàájọ́ òdodo, yóò fífún mi ni ọjọ́ náà kì í sì í ṣe kìkì èmi nìkan ṣùgbọ́n pẹ̀lú fún gbogbo àwọn tí ó ti fẹ́ ìfarahàn rẹ̀.
Henceforth there is laid up for me the garland of righteousness which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that Day, and not to me only, but also to all those who have loved his appearing.
9 Sa ipá rẹ láti tètè tọ̀ mí wá.
Do your best to come to me speedily,
10 Nítorí Dema ti kọ̀ mí sílẹ̀, nítorí ó ń fẹ́ ayé yìí, ó sì lọ sí Tẹsalonika; Kreskeni sí Galatia, Titu sí Dalimatia. (aiōn g165)
for Demas has deserted me for love of this present world, and is gone to Thessalonica; Crescens is gone to Galatia; Titus to Dalmatia. (aiōn g165)
11 Luku nìkan ni ó wà pẹ̀lú mi, mú Marku wá pẹ̀lú rẹ: nítorí ó wúlò fún mi fún iṣẹ́ ìránṣẹ́.
Luke only is with me. Pick up Mark, and bring him with you, for he is useful to me in my ministry.
12 Mo rán Tikiku ní iṣẹ́ lọ sí Efesu.
Tychicus I have sent to Ephesus.
13 Aṣọ òtútù tí mo fi sílẹ̀ ní Troasi lọ́dọ̀ Karpu, nígbà tí ìwọ bá ń bọ̀ mú un wa, àti àwọn ìwé, pẹ̀lúpẹ̀lú àwọn ìwé-awọ.
When you come, bring the cloak I left in Troas with Carpus; also my books, but especially my parchments.
14 Aleksanderu alágbẹ̀dẹ bàbà ṣe mi ni ibi púpọ̀: Olúwa yóò san án fún un gẹ́gẹ́ bí iṣẹ́ rẹ̀.
Alexander, the coppersmith, manifested bitter hostility toward me. The Lord will requite him according to his works.
15 Lọ́dọ̀ ẹni tí kí ìwọ máa ṣọ́ra pẹ̀lú, nítorí tí ó kọ ojú ìjà sí ìwàásù wa púpọ̀.
Be also on your guard against him, for he has violently opposed my arguments.
16 Ní àkọ́kọ́ jẹ́ ẹjọ́ mi, kò sí ẹni tí ó ba mi gba ẹjọ́ rò ṣùgbọ́n gbogbo ènìyàn ni o kọ̀ mi sílẹ̀, àdúrà mi ni kí a má ṣe kà á sí wọn lọ́rùn.
At the time of my first defense no one stood by me; on the contrary they all deserted me - may it not be laid to their charge!
17 Ṣùgbọ́n Olúwa gba ẹjọ́ mi rò, ó sì fún mi lágbára; pé nípasẹ̀ mi kí a lè wàásù náà ní àwàjálẹ̀, àti pé kí gbogbo àwọn aláìkọlà lè gbọ́; a sì gbà mí kúrò lẹ́nu kìnnìún náà.
Nevertheless the Lord Jesus stood by me, and strengthened my heart, that through me full proclamation of the gospel might be made, and the Gentiles might hear it; and I was rescued from the lion’s jaws.
18 Olúwa yóò yọ mí kúrò nínú iṣẹ́ búburú gbogbo, yóò sì mu mí dé inú ìjọba ọ̀run. Ẹni ti ògo wà fún láé àti láéláé. Àmín. (aiōn g165)
And the Lord will rescue me from every evil assault, and will preserve me for his heavenly kingdom. To him be the glory forever and ever! Amen! (aiōn g165)
19 Kí Priska àti Akuila, àti ilé Onesiforu.
Give my greetings to Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus.
20 Erastu wà ní Kọrinti: ṣùgbọ́n mo fi Tirofimu sílẹ̀ ni Miletu nínú àìsàn.
Erastus remained at Corinth; Trophimus I left behind me ill at Miletus.
21 Sa ipá rẹ láti tètè wá ṣáájú ìgbà òtútù. Eubulu kí ọ, àti Pudeni, àti Linu, Klaudia, àti gbogbo àwọn arákùnrin.
Do try to come before winter. Eubulus greets you, and so do Pudens and Linus and Claudia and all the brotherhood.
22 Kí Olúwa wà pẹ̀lú ẹ̀mí rẹ kí oore-ọ̀fẹ́ wà pẹ̀lú yín.
The Lord Jesus be with your spirit. Grace be with you all.
