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 solemnly charge you – in the sight of God and of Christ Jesus, who will one day judge the living and the dead – I charge you by his appearing and by 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.
Proclaim the message, be ready in season and out of season, convince, rebuke, encourage, never failing to instruct with forbearance.
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 a time will come when people will not tolerate sound teaching. They will follow their own wishes, and, in their itching for novelty, procure themselves a crowd of teachers.
4 Iba kpiliu ulanzu mine kiti nlanzu kidegen, iba na kpillu kusari nlanzu nabin ghari.
They will turn a deaf ear to the truth, and give their attention to legends instead.
5 Amma fe nonko kibinai nanya nimon vat. Tere kibinai nanya nniu; su katwa nnan bellun nliru Kutelle; kullo katwa fe.
But you, Timothy, must always be temperate. Face hardships; do the work of a missionary; discharge all the duties of your office.
6 Bara meng ina mallu ugutu niyi. Kubi in nyiu nighe nmal dak.
As for me, my life blood is already being poured out; the time of my departure is close at hand.
7 Nnasu likum licine. Nna min uyinnu sa uyenu nighe.
I have run the great race; I have finished the course; 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.
And now the crown of righteousness awaits me, which the Lord, the just judge, will give me on that day – and not only to me, but to all who have loved his appearing.
9 Yita nin kanyeri udak kiti nighe mas.
Do your utmost to come to me soon,
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, in his love for the world, has deserted me. He has gone to Thessalonica, Crescens to Galatia, and 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.
There is no one but Luke with me. Pick up Mark on your way, and bring him with you, for he is useful to me in my work.
12 Nna tuu Tikikus ku in Afisas.
I have sent Tychicus to Ephesus.
13 Ugudum nighe nann nna sun Ntaruwas nacara karbus, mino unin asa uba dak, umunu affa ninyerte, Massaman affe vat.
Bring with you, when you come, the cloak which I left at Troas with Carpus, and the books, especially the parchments.
14 Iskandari unan kitel nikoro iboo nasu likara linanzang gbardang liti nighe Cikilari ba kurtun ghe nafo na ame nasuzu.
Alexander, the coppersmith, showed much ill feeling towards me. The Lord will give him what his actions deserve.
15 Fe wang yenje Ucinfe ninghe, bara adi nivira nin liru bite.
You must also be on your guard against him, for he is strongly opposed to 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 trial no one stood by me. They all deserted me. May it never be counted against them!
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 came to my help and strengthened me, in order that, through me, the proclamation should be made so widely that all the Gentiles should hear it; and I was rescued out of the lion’s mouth.
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 rescue me from all evil, and bring me safe into his Heavenly kingdom. All glory to him for ever and ever! Amen. (aiōn g165)
19 Lissoi Briskila ku nin Akila, nin na nan kilarin anisifirus.
Give my greeting to Prisca and Aquila, and to the household of Onesiphorus.
20 Erasitus wa lawa Nkorontus, Amma nwasun Tirifehimus ku Nmilatuss nin nkonu.
Erastus remained at Corinth, and I left Thophimus ill at Miletus.
21 Yita nin lissufi, pudens wang nin linus, claudia nin linuana vat din lissufi.
Do your utmost to come before winter. Eubulus, Pudens, Linus and Claudia send you their greetings, and so do the rest of the Lord’s followers.
22 Na cikilari so nin Nruhu fe. Na ubolu Kutelle so nin fi.
May the Lord be with your soul. God bless you all.
