2 Timotawus 4

1 Ndin ni nliru ulele nin likara nbun Kutelle nin Kristi Yesu, ule na aba gucu anan lai nin nanan kul, bara udak me nin kipin tigome:

I give you orders, before God and Christ Jesus, who will be the judge of the living and the dead, and by his revelation and his kingdom;

2 Su uwazi nliru, so nin shiri, sa kubi di sa na kubi duku ba kpada, gbara, taa kubun, vat nin kanyiri nsuwe nin teru kibinai nanya ndursuzu.

Be preaching the word at all times, in every place; make protests, say sharp words, give comfort, with long waiting and teaching;

3 Bara kubi din cinu, na anit ma teru nibinai nin ndursuzu ucine ba nani iba na pitiru atimine anan dursuzu kiti alenge na iba shogulu nu nanya nlanzu mine.

For the time will come when they will not take the true teaching; but, moved by their desires, they will get for themselves a great number of teachers for the pleasure of hearing them;

4 Iba kpiliu ulanzu mine kiti nlanzu kidegen, iba na kpillu kusari nlanzu nabin ghari.

And shutting their ears to what is true, will be turned away to belief in foolish stories.

5 Amma fe nonko kibinai nanya nimon vat. Tere kibinai nanya nniu; su katwa nnan bellun nliru Kutelle; kullo katwa fe.

But be self-controlled in all things, do without comfort, go on preaching the good news, completing the work which has been given you to do.

6 Bara meng ina mallu ugutu niyi. Kubi in nyiu nighe nmal dak.

For I am even now being offered, and my end is near.

7 Nnasu likum licine. Nna min uyinnu sa uyenu nighe.

I have made a good fight, I have come to the end of my journey, I have kept the faith:

8 Ina malu uciuyi litapa katwa kacine, longo na Cikilari, unan wucu ucine, ama niyi liyiri lole. Ana meng usanin ba, umunu alenge na ima yitu nin su in saku ndak me.

From now on, the crown of righteousness is made ready for me, which the Lord, the upright judge, Will give to me at that day: and not only to me, but to all those who have had love for his revelation.

9 Yita nin kanyeri udak kiti nighe mas.

Do your best to come to me before long:

10 Bara Dimas na sunni, dinin su nlenge uyie amini na nya udu utasalanika. Kariskis na do ugalatiya, Titus uni nado udalmatiya. (aiōn g165)

For Demas has gone away from me, for love of this present life, and has gone to Thessalonica: Crescens has gone to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia. (aiōn g165)

11 Luka ri cas di nimi. Yira Markus ku udak ligowe ninghe, bara adinin ampani kiti nighe nanya katwa we.

Only Luke is with me. Get Mark and take him with you; for he is of use to me in the work.

12 Nna tuu Tikikus ku in Afisas.

Tychicus I sent to Ephesus.

13 Ugudum nighe nann nna sun Ntaruwas nacara karbus, mino unin asa uba dak, umunu affa ninyerte, Massaman affe vat.

The coat which I did not take from Troas and which is with Carpus, get when you come, and the books, specially the papers.

14 Iskandari unan kitel nikoro iboo nasu likara linanzang gbardang liti nighe Cikilari ba kurtun ghe nafo na ame nasuzu.

Alexander the copper-worker did me much wrong: the Lord will give him the reward of his works:

15 Fe wang yenje Ucinfe ninghe, bara adi nivira nin liru bite.

But be on the watch for him, for he was violent in his attacks on our teaching.

16 Nin kusu liti nighe un cizinue, na umong wa yisin nin mie ba. Nani, vat nanite wa su ni. Na Kutelle nwa batiza ileli imone nati mine ba.

At my first meeting with my judges, no one took my part, but all went away from me. May it not be put to their account.

17 Amma Cikilare wa yisin likot nighe atayi likara, bara, nnuzu kiti nighe, bara ubellu nlirue nan se ukullu vat, nwurumi nan se ulanzu. Nwase utucu nnuu nzakki.

But the Lord was by my side and gave me strength; so that through me the news might be given out in full measure, and all the Gentiles might give ear: and I was taken out of the mouth of the lion.

18 Cikilari ma tucui nanyan ko lome likara linanzang, ama nin ciu yi bara kipin tigo me kitene kani. Kiti mere ngongong so ku udu sa ligang. Uso nani. (aiōn g165)

The Lord will keep me safe from every evil work and will give me salvation in his kingdom in heaven: to whom be glory for ever and ever. So be it. (aiōn g165)

19 Lissoi Briskila ku nin Akila, nin na nan kilarin anisifirus.

Give my love to Prisca and Aquila and those of the house of Onesiphorus.

20 Erasitus wa lawa Nkorontus, Amma nwasun Tirifehimus ku Nmilatuss nin nkonu.

Erastus was stopping at Corinth; but Trophimus, when I last saw him was at Miletus, ill.

21 Yita nin lissufi, pudens wang nin linus, claudia nin linuana vat din lissufi.

Do your best to come before the winter. Eubulus sends you his love, and Pudens and Linus and Claudia, and all the brothers.

22 Na cikilari so nin Nruhu fe. Na ubolu Kutelle so nin fi.

The Lord be with your spirit. Grace be with you.
