2 Timothy 2
1 You therefore, my child, be strengthened in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
Ke ma inge, wen nutik, kom in akkeye kom ke lungkulang su ma lasr ke kut kupasryang nu sin Christ Jesus.
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.
Eis mwe luti su kom lohng sik ke nga fahkak ye mutun mwet puspis, ac sang ma inge nu sin mwet kom lulalfongi, su fah ku in luti pac nu sin mwet ngia.
3 You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
Kom in wi pac keok, oana sie mwet mweun oaru lun Christ Jesus.
4 No soldier on duty entangles himself in the affairs of life, that he may please him who enrolled him as a soldier.
Sie mwet mweun su oru ma kuna el lungse akinsewowoye mwet kol lal, pwanang el tia akfohsyal sifacna ke orekma lun mwet ma tia mwet mweun.
5 Also, if anyone competes in athletics, he isn’t crowned unless he has competed by the rules.
Sie mwet srital su kasrusr in akutun el tia ku in eis molin kutangla el fin seakos ma sap uh.
6 The farmer who labors must be the first to get a share of the crops.
Sie mwet ima su orekma upa, fal elan eis ip lal meet ke pacl in kosrani.
7 Consider what I say, and may the Lord give you understanding in all things.
Nunku ke ma nga fahk nu sum inge, mweyen Leum El ac ku in oru kom in kalem kac nufon.
8 Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, of the offspring of David, according to my Good News,
Esamul Jesus Christ, su akmoulyeyukyak liki misa, su sie sin fwilin tulik natul David, oana ma lutiyuk ke Pweng Wo su nag fahkak kac.
9 in which I suffer hardship to the point of chains as a criminal. But God’s word isn’t chained.
Ke sripen fahkak luk ke Pweng Wo nga akkeokyeyuk ac kapiri ke sein, oana sie mwet kunausla ma sap. Tusruktu kas lun God tia ku in kapriyuki.
10 Therefore I endure all things for the chosen ones’ sake, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. (aiōnios g166)
Ke ma inge nga mutangla ma nukewa ke sripen mwet sulosolla lun God, tuh elos fah oayapa eis molela su tuku ke Christ Jesus, oayapa eis wolana su wangin saflaiya. (aiōnios g166)
11 This saying is trustworthy: “For if we died with him, we will also live with him.
Kas pwaye se pa inge: “Fin pwaye kut tuh welul misa, Kut fah oayapa welul moul.
12 If we endure, we will also reign with him. If we deny him, he also will deny us.
Kut fin kwafeang in muteng, Kut fah oayapa welul leumi. Kut fin lafwekunul, El ac fah oayapa lafwekin kut.
13 If we are faithless, he remains faithful; for he can’t deny himself.”
Kut fin soaru nu sel, El ac nuna oaru na nu sesr, Mweyen el tia ku in sifacna aksufalyal.”
14 Remind them of these things, charging them in the sight of the Lord that they don’t argue about words to no profit, to the subverting of those who hear.
Akesmakinye mwet lom ke ma inge, ac sensenkakunulos ye mutun God tuh elos in tia akukuin ke kalmen kas. Tuh wangin ma wo ac tuku kac, a mwe na akkolukyela mwet su lohng.
15 Give diligence to present yourself approved by God, a workman who doesn’t need to be ashamed, properly handling the Word of Truth.
Kom in akkeye kom tuh God Elan liye kom wo, sie mwet orekma su tia enenu in mwekin, su orekmakin suwosna kas lun God.
16 But shun empty chatter, for it will go further in ungodliness,
Kom in forla liki sramsram lusrongten wangin sripa, tuh ma inge mwe akloesyalik mwet uh liki God.
17 and those words will consume like gangrene, of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus:
Mwe luti ouinge oana ruf aryur su kangla ikwa. Hymenaeus ac Philetus pa luo sin mwet ma luti ouinge.
18 men who have erred concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection is already past, and overthrowing the faith of some.
Elos kuhfla liki ma pwaye ac fusauk lulalfongi lun kutu mwet, ke elos fahk mu sifil moulyak lun mwet uh sikyak tari.
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.”
Tuh pwelung ku su God El oakiya tia ku in mokleyukla; ac kas inge simla fac: “Leum El etu mwet lal” ac “Elos su fahk mu elos ma lun Leum, enenu elos in forla liki orekma koluk lalos.”
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.
In sie lohm lulap, oasr kain in ahlu ac pol puspis: kutu orekla ke silver ac gold, kutu ke sak ac kle; kutu ma nu ke tukeni fulat, ac kutu nu ke pacl nukewa.
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.
Ke ma inge kutena mwet fin aknasnasyal liki ma koluk inge nukewa, ac fah orekmakinyuk el nu ke ma yohk sripa, ke sripen el akmutalyeyuk tari ac fal in orekmakinyuk sin leum lal, ac el akola nu ke orekma wo nukewa.
22 Flee from youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
Kaing liki lung koluk lun mwet fusr, ac fahsr tukun suwoswos, lulalfongi, lungse, ac misla, welulos su pang nu sin Leum ke inse nasnas.
23 But refuse foolish and ignorant questionings, knowing that they generate strife.
A kom in forla liki akukuin lalfon ma wangin kalmeya; kom etu na lah ma inge ac pruakak lokoalok.
24 The Lord’s servant must not quarrel, but be gentle toward all, able to teach, patient,
Mwet kulansap lun Leum uh tia fal elan mwet akukuin, a elan kulang nu sin mwet nukewa; elan sie mwet luti wo ac mongfisrasr.
25 in gentleness correcting those who oppose him. Perhaps God may give them repentance leading to a full knowledge of the truth,
Elan mongfisrasr ke pacl el aksuwosye mwet alein nu sel, sahp God El ac sang pacl wo nu selos elos in auliyak ac etu ma pwaye.
26 and they may recover themselves out of the devil’s snare, having been taken captive by him to do his will.
Ac toko elos fah asmakla ac kaingla liki mwe kwasrip lun Devil, su sruokolosi ac oru elos in akos lungse lal.
