2 Timothy 4
1 I command you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at his appearing and his Kingdom:
Eya ta mele gbe tem ɖe edzi na wò le Mawu kple Kristo Yesu, ame si adrɔ̃ ʋɔnu ame gbagbewo kple ame kukuwo gbe ɖeka ne eva do be yeaɖo yeƒe fiaɖuƒe la gɔme anyi la ŋkume be
2 preach the word; be urgent in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort with all patience and teaching.
nàɖe gbeƒã Mawu ƒe nya la kple vevidodo nu ɣeawo katã ɣi, ɣe sia ɣi si nàkpɔ mɔnu ko, vovo li o, vovo meli o. Fia mɔ nyuitɔwo, eye nàka mo na wò amewo ne ehiã. Do ŋusẽ wo be woawɔ nu si dze, eye nàtsɔ Mawu ƒe nya anyi wo kple dzigbɔɖi ɣe sia ɣi.
3 For the time will come when they will not listen to the sound doctrine, but having itching ears, will heap up for themselves teachers after their own lusts,
Elabena ɣeyiɣi aɖe gbɔna esime amewo magaɖo to nyateƒe la o, ke boŋ woanɔ tsatsam anɔ nufiala siwo agblɔ nya siwo woawo ŋutɔ adi be yewoase la dim.
4 and will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn away to fables.
Womaɖo to nu si nyateƒe la le fiafiam o, ke boŋ woadze woawo ŋutɔ ƒe susu tatrawo yome dzidzɔtɔe.
5 But you be sober in all things, suffer hardship, do the work of an evangelist, and fulfill your ministry.
Nɔ te sesĩe, eye mègavɔ̃ fukpekpe le Aƒetɔ la ta o. Kplɔ ame bubuwo vɛ na Kristo. Mègagbe nu sia nu si hiã be nàwɔ la wɔwɔ o.
6 For I am already being offered, and the time of my departure has come.
Elabena nye la, wole trɔyem ƒo ɖi xoxo abe nunovɔsa ene, eye nye ɣeyiɣi de na dzodzo.
7 I have fought the good fight. I have finished the course. I have kept the faith.
Meʋli ʋiʋli nyui la, mewu duɖimekeke la nu, eye melé xɔse la me ɖe asi.
8 From now on, the crown of righteousness is stored up for me, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give to me on that day; and not to me only, but also to all those who have loved his appearing.
Ke azɔ la, wodzra dzɔdzɔenyenye ƒe fiakuku ɖo ɖi nam, esi Aƒetɔ, Ʋɔnudrɔ̃la dzɔdzɔe la, anam le ŋkeke ma dzi, eye menye nye ɖeka koe wòana o, ke boŋ ame siwo katã le mɔ kpɔm vevie na eƒe vava.
9 Be diligent to come to me soon,
Do vevi be nàva gbɔnye kaba,
10 for Demas left me, having loved this present world, and went to Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia; and Titus to Dalmatia. (aiōn g165)
elabena Dema gblẽm ɖi hedzo yi Tesalonika, elabena elɔ̃ xexe sia me. Kresken hã dzo yi Galatia. Nenema ke Tito hã dzo yi Dalmatia. (aiōn g165)
11 Only Luke is with me. Take Mark and bring him with you, for he is useful to me for service.
Luka koe li kplim. Di Marko, eye nàkplɔe ɖe asi vɛ, elabena ekpena ɖe ŋunye le nye subɔsubɔdɔwɔwɔ me.
12 But I sent Tychicus to Ephesus.
Medɔ Tikiko hã ɖe Efeso.
13 Bring the cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus when you come—and the books, especially the parchments.
Ne ègbɔna la, tsɔ awu ʋlaya si megblẽ ɖe Karpo gbɔ le Troa la vɛ nam. Nenema kee nye agbalẽawo hã, vevietɔ lãgbalẽtɔwo.
14 Alexander the coppersmith did much evil to me. The Lord will repay him according to his deeds.
Aleksandro, akɔblinutula la wɔ nu vevi geɖem. Aƒetɔ la ahe to nɛ.
15 Beware of him, for he greatly opposed our words.
Ke kpɔ nyuie le eŋu, elabena etsi tsitre ɖe nu sia nu si míegblɔ la ŋu.
16 At my first defense, no one came to help me, but all left me. May it not be held against them.
Zi gbãtɔ si wohem yi ʋɔnudrɔ̃la ŋkume la, ame aɖeke menɔ afi sia akpe ɖe ŋunye o, ame sia ame si dzo. Mele mɔ kpɔm be womabu fɔ wo ɖe nu sia ta o.
17 But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, that through me the message might be fully proclaimed, and that all the Gentiles might hear. So I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.
Ke Aƒetɔ la nɔ ŋunye, eye wòna mɔkpɔkpɔm be magblɔ mawunya dzideƒotɔe na xexea me katã. Ekpe ɖe ŋunye hã be wometsɔm na dzatawo o.
18 And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work and will preserve me for his heavenly Kingdom. To him be the glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Ɛ̃, Aƒetɔ la aɖem ɣe sia ɣi tso vɔ̃wo katã me, eye wòakplɔm ayi eƒe dziƒofiaɖuƒe la me. Ŋutikɔkɔe woana Mawu tso mavɔ me yi mavɔ me. Amen. (aiōn g165)
19 Greet Prisca and Aquila, and the house of Onesiphorus.
Do gbe na Priskila kple Akwila kple ame siwo le Onesiforo ƒe aƒe me la nam.
20 Erastus remained at Corinth, but I left Trophimus at Miletus sick.
Erasto le Korinto, eye megblẽ Trofimo, ame si dze dɔ la ɖe Mileto.
21 Be diligent to come before winter. Eubulus salutes you, as do Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brothers.
Dze agbagba nàva ɖo afi sia hafi vuvɔŋɔli naɖo. Eubulo, Pude, Lino, Klaudia kple nɔvi bubuawo katã do gbe na wò.
22 The Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.
Aƒetɔ la nanɔ anyi kple wò gbɔgbɔ. Mawu ƒe amenuveve nanɔ anyi kpli mi katã.
