2 Timothy 2
1 You therefore, my child, be strengthened in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
Ya mere, nwa m, bụrụ onye dị ike site nʼamara ahụ Kraịst Jisọs na-enye.
2 The things which you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit the same things to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.
Ihe niile nke ị nụrụ nʼọnụ m nʼihu ọtụtụ ndị ama ka ị ga-enyefe nʼaka ndị kwesiri ntụkwasị obi, bụ ndị nwekwara ike izi ndị ọzọ ihe ndị a.
3 You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
Soro m kere oke nʼahụhụ dị ka ezi onye agha Jisọs Kraịst.
4 No soldier on duty entangles himself in the affairs of life, that he may please him who enrolled him as a soldier.
Ọ dịghị onye agha ọbụla na-ekekọta onwe ya nʼihe nke ụwa a, kama ọ na-achọ ime ihe ga-atọ onye họpụtara ya dị ka onye agha ụtọ.
5 Also, if anyone competes in athletics, he is not crowned unless he has competed by the rules.
Otu aka ahụ, onye na-agba ọsọ agaghị enweta okpu mmeri, ma ọ bụrụ na ọ gbaghị ọsọ ya dịka usoro iwu ịgba ọsọ si dị.
6 The farmer who labors must be the first to get a share of the crops.
Onye ọrụ ubi na-adọgbu onwe ya nʼọrụ kwesiri ịbụ onye ga-ebu ụzọ rie mkpụrụ sitere nʼubi ya.
7 Consider what I say, and may the Lord give you understanding in all things.
Na-atụgharị uche nʼihe m kwuru, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị ga-enye gị nghọta nʼime ha niile.
8 Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, of the offspring of David, according to my Good News,
Echefula Jisọs Kraịst, onye a kpọlitere site nʼọnwụ, onye sikwa nʼagbụrụ Devid, nke a bụ oziọma m.
9 in which I suffer hardship to the point of chains as a criminal. But God’s word is not chained.
Ọ bụ nʼihi na m na-ekwu eziokwu ndị a ka m ji nọọ na-ahụ ahụhụ dị otu a dị ka onye ọjọọ, ma otu ọ dị, ekeghị okwu Chineke agbụ.
10 Therefore I endure all things for the chosen ones' sake, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with consummate (aiōnios g166) glory.
Ya mere, ana m anagide ihe niile nʼihi ndị a họpụtara, ka ha bụrụkwa ndị ga-anata nzọpụta dị nʼime Kraịst Jisọs, na ebube ebighị ebi. (aiōnios g166)
11 This saying is trustworthy: “For if we died with him, we will also live with him.
Nke a bụ okwu kwesiri ntụkwasị obi: Ọ bụrụ na anyị esoro ya nwụọ, anyị ga-esokwa ya dị ndụ.
12 If we endure, we will also reign with him. If we deny him, he also will deny us.
Ọ bụrụ na anyị anagide, anyị ga-esokwa ya chịa ọchịchị. Ọ bụrụ na anyị ajụ ya, ọ ga-ajụkwa anyị.
13 If we are faithless, he remains faithful; for he cannot deny himself.”
Ọ bụrụ na anyị ekweghị ekwe, ọ ga-anọgide nʼikwesị ntụkwasị obi, nʼihi na o nweghị ike ịjụ onwe ya.
14 Remind them of these things, charging them in the sight of the Lord that they do not argue about words to no profit, to the subverting of those who hear.
Na-echetara ha nke a, na-agwasikwa ha ike nʼaha Chineke ka ha ghara ịrụ ụka banyere okwu efu. Nʼihi na okwu ndị a abaghị uru, ha na-ewetara ndị na-anụ ya ịla nʼiyi.
15 Give diligence to present yourself approved by God, a workman who does not need to be ashamed, properly handling the Word of Truth.
Gbalịsie ike ka iche onwe gị nʼihu Chineke dị ka onye a nabatara. Onye ọrụ nke ihere na-apụghị ime, onye na-akọwa eziokwu ahụ nke ọma.
16 But shun empty chatter, for it will go further in ungodliness,
Zere onwe gị nʼokwu nzuzu nke rụrụ arụ, nʼihi na ọ na-aga nʼihu iduba ndị mmadụ nʼọnọdụ amaghị Chineke karịa.
17 and those words will consume like gangrene, of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus:
Ozizi ha ga-agbasa dị ka nsị, Haimeniọs na Filetus soo na ndị dị otu a.
18 men who have erred concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection is already past, and overthrowing the faith of some.
Ha ahapụla ịgbaso ụzọ eziokwu ahụ bido na-ekwusa okwu ụgha, na-asị na oge mbilite nʼọnwụ agafeela. Site nʼokwu ha, ha na-ekpu okwukwe mmadụ ụfọdụ ihu nʼala.
19 However, God’s firm foundation stands, having this seal: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Let every one who names the name of the Lord depart from unrighteousness.”
Ma ntọala Chineke hiwere na-eguzosi ike. Nʼelu ya ka eji ihe e dere kaa akara: “Onyenwe anyị maara ndị bụ ndị nke ya,” ya na, “Ka onye ọbụla kpọrọ onwe ya onye nke Kraịst kwụsị ibi ndụ ajọ omume.”
20 Now in a large house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of clay. Some are for honor and some for dishonor.
Nʼime ụlọ ukwuu, ọtụtụ ngwa ọrụ dị ya, ndị e ji ọlaedo maọbụ ọlaọcha, maọbụ osisi maọbụ ụrọ kpụọ. Ụfọdụ ka e ji eje ozi nʼoge nkwanye ugwu dị mkpa, ndị ọzọ ka e ji eje ozi nʼoge ọbụla.
21 If anyone therefore purges himself from these, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified, and suitable for the master’s use, prepared for every good work.
Ọ bụrụ na onye ọbụla edoo onwe ya ọcha pụọ nʼihe ọjọọ niile, ọ ga-abụ ngwa ọrụ e mere maka ọrụ ndị kwesiri nkwanye ugwu, bụrụkwa onye dị nsọ, onye na-abara Onyenwe ya uru, na onye dị njikere mgbe ọbụla ịrụ ezi ọrụ.
22 Flee from youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
Gbanarị ihe ọbụla na-etinye ụdị echiche ọjọọ nke ụmụ okorobịa na-enwe nʼime gị, kama, na-agbaso ezi omume na okwukwe, na ịhụnanya na udo, ka gị na ndị na-akpọkukwa Onyenwe anyị site nʼobi dị ọcha na-emekọrịta.
23 But refuse foolish and ignorant questionings, knowing that they generate strife.
Wezuga onwe gị nʼịrụ ụka nzuzu na nke amaghị ihe niile, nʼihi na ị maara na ha na-eweta ise okwu.
24 The Lord’s servant must not quarrel, but be gentle toward all, able to teach, patient,
O kwesikwaghị ka ohu Onyenwe anyị bụrụ onye na-ese okwu, kama, ọ ga-abụ onye obiọma nye mmadụ niile, na onye ma otu e si ezi ihe, onye dị njikere ịnagide ihe ọjọọ e mere ya.
25 in gentleness correcting those who oppose him. Perhaps God may give them repentance leading to a full knowledge of the truth,
Ọ ga-ejiri obi dị nwayọ mgbe ọ na-adụ ndị iro ya ọdụ. Eleghị anya Chineke nwere ike mee ka ha chegharịa, bịa mata eziokwu.
26 and they may recover themselves out of the devil’s snare, having been taken captive by him to do his will.
Mgbe ahụ, ha nwere ike gbanahụ ọnya ekwensu, ka o jidechara ha ka ha mee uche ya.
