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:

Mme jalo ke go kgothatsa ka tlhwaafalo fa pele ga Modimo le fa pele ga ga Jesu Keresete yo e tlaa reng letsatsi lengwe a bo a atlhola batshedi le baswi fa a tla go tlhoma bogosi jwa gagwe,

2 preach the word; be urgent in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort with all patience and teaching.

go rera Lefoko la Modimo ka tlhwaafalo ka nako tsotlhe, go le lobaka le go se lobaka, fa go siame le go sa siama. Siamisa o bo o kgalemele batho ba gago fa ba tlhoka kgalemelo, ba kgothatse go dira tshiamo, mme ka nako tsotlhe o ba otla ka Lefoko la Modimo ka bopelotelele.

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,

Gonne go tlaa tla lobaka lo batho ba se kitlang ba reetsa boammaaruri, mme ba tlaa tsamaya ba batla baruti ba ba tlaa ba bolelelang fela se ba batlang go se utlwa.

4 and will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn away to fables.

Ga ba kitla ba reetsa se Baebele e se buang mme ba tlaa latela megopolo ya bone e e foufetseng.

5 But you be sober in all things, suffer hardship, do the work of an evangelist, and fulfill your ministry.

Ema o tsepame, mme o se ka wa tshaba go bogela Morena. Tlisa ba bangwe kwa go Keresete. O se ka wa tlogela sepe se sa dirwa se o tshwanetseng go se dira.

6 For I am already being offered, and the time of my departure has come.

Ke bua se ka gore ke tlaa bo ke seyo go go thusa ka lobaka lo loleele. Lobaka lwa me lo setse lo fitlhile. E tlaa re ka bonako ke bo ke le mo tseleng ya me go ya legodimong.

7 I have fought the good fight. I have finished the course. I have kept the faith.

Ga ke bolo go tlhabanela Morena thata ka lobaka lo loleele, mme mo go tsone tsotlhe ke ntse ke le boammaaruri mo go ene. Mme jaanong lobaka lo fitlhile lwa gore ke khutlise ntwa ke itapolose.

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.

Kwa legodimong serwalo se nkemetse se Morena, moatlhodi wa tshiamo, o tlaa se nnayang ka letsatsi le legolo la go bowa ga gagwe. Mme e seng nna fela, e leng botlhe ba matshelo a bone a supang gore ba lebeletse ka tlhwaafalo go tla ga gagwe gape.

9 Be diligent to come to me soon,

Tswee-tswee tla ka bonako le ka bofefo jo o ka bo kgonang,

10 for Demas left me, having loved this present world, and went to Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia; and Titus to Dalmatia. (aiōn g165)

gonne Demase o ntlogetse. O ratile dilo tse dintle tsa lefatshe leno o ile Theselonika. Keresenese o ile Galalea, Tito o ile Dalamatia. (aiōn g165)

11 Only Luke is with me. Take Mark and bring him with you, for he is useful to me for service.

Ke Luke fela yo o nang le nna. Tla le Mareko fa o tla, gonne ke a mo tlhoka.

12 But I sent Tychicus to Ephesus.

(Tukiko le ene o tsamaile, ke mo rometse kwa Efeso)

13 Bring the cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus when you come—and the books, especially the parchments.

E re fa o tla, o se ka wa lebala go ntlela kobo e ke e tlogetseng kwa Teroase mo go mokaulengwe Karepo, le dikwalo, mme bogolo, thata tsa matlalo.

14 Alexander the coppersmith did much evil to me. The Lord will repay him according to his deeds.

Alekesanta mothudi wa kgotlho o nkutlwisitse botlhoko thata. Morena o tlaa mo otlhaya,

15 Beware of him, for he greatly opposed our words.

mme o mo tshabe, gonne o tlhabana le sengwe le sengwe se re se boletseng.

16 At my first defense, no one came to help me, but all left me. May it not be held against them.

Erile lwa ntlha fa ke tlisiwa fa pele ga moatlhodi go ne go sena ope fano go nthusa, Mongwe le mongwe o ne a siile. Ke solofela gore ga ba kitla ba bewa molato kaga gone.

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.

Mme Morena o ne a ema le nna, a nnaya lobaka lwa go rera thero yotlhe ke sena poifo gore lefatshe le utlwe. Mme o ne a mpoloka gore ke se latlhelwe mo ditaung.

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)

Ee, Morena o tlaa nna a nkgolola ka nako tsotlhe mo bosuleng jotlhe mme o tlaa ntlisa mo bogosing jwa gagwe jwa selegodimo. A kgalalelo e nne go Modimo ka metlha le metlha. Amen. (aiōn g165)

19 Greet Prisca and Aquila, and the house of Onesiphorus.

Tswee-tswee “ntumedisetsa” Peresila le Akwila le ba ba nnang le Onesiforo.

20 Erastus remained at Corinth, but I left Trophimus at Miletus sick.

Eraseto o fetile a sala kwa Korintha, mme ke tlogetse Terofimose a lwala kwa Mileto.

21 Be diligent to come before winter. Eubulus salutes you, as do Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brothers.

Leka gore o bo o le kwano pele ga mariga. Eubulo o a go dumedisa le Padense, le Lino, le Kalaudia le ba bangwe botlhe.

22 The Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.

A Morena Jesu Keresete a nne le mowa wa gago. Sala sentle, ke le, Paulo.
