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:

This is what I instruct you to do before God and Christ Jesus who will judge the living and the dead when he comes to establish 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.

Speak God's word whether it is convenient or not, tell people where they're going wrong, warn them, encourage them. Do this with a great deal of patient teaching.

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 the time is coming when people won't bother to listen to true teaching. Instead they will be curious to listen to something different, and will surround themselves with teachers who'll tell them what they want to hear.

4 Iba kpiliu ulanzu mine kiti nlanzu kidegen, iba na kpillu kusari nlanzu nabin ghari.

They will stop listening to the truth and wander off following myths.

5 Amma fe nonko kibinai nanya nimon vat. Tere kibinai nanya nniu; su katwa nnan bellun nliru Kutelle; kullo katwa fe.

You need to keep your wits about you at all times. Put up with troubles, do the work of sharing the good news, fulfill your ministry.

6 Bara meng ina mallu ugutu niyi. Kubi in nyiu nighe nmal dak.

For I'm about to be sacrificed—the time of my death is approaching.

7 Nnasu likum licine. Nna min uyinnu sa uyenu nighe.

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept my trust in God.

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.

Now there's a prize reserved for me—the crown for a life lived according to what is good and right. The Lord, (who is the judge that always does what's right), will give that to me on that Day. And not just to me, but to everyone who longs for his coming.

9 Yita nin kanyeri udak kiti nighe mas.

Please try to come to me as soon as you can.

10 Bara Dimas na sunni, dinin su nlenge uyie amini na nya udu utasalanika. Kariskis na do ugalatiya, Titus uni nado udalmatiya. (aiōn g165)

Demas has abandoned me because he loves the things of this world more, and has gone to Thessalonica. Crescens has gone 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.

Only Luke is here with me. Bring Mark with you, because he can help me with my work.

12 Nna tuu Tikikus ku in Afisas.

I sent Tychicus to Ephesus.

13 Ugudum nighe nann nna sun Ntaruwas nacara karbus, mino unin asa uba dak, umunu affa ninyerte, Massaman affe vat.

When you come please bring the cloak I left behind with Carpus in Troas—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 caused me a lot of trouble—may God judge him for what he did.

15 Fe wang yenje Ucinfe ninghe, bara adi nivira nin liru bite.

You watch out for him too, because he was very much against what we were saying.

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.

When it came to my first defense, no-one stood up for me—everyone abandoned me. May they not be blamed for this.

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 stood by me and gave me strength so that I could declare the whole of the message so that all the foreigners could hear it. 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 the evil things done against me, and will bring me safely to his heavenly kingdom. His is the glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

19 Lissoi Briskila ku nin Akila, nin na nan kilarin anisifirus.

My greetings to Prisca and Aquila, and to Onesiphorus's family.

20 Erasitus wa lawa Nkorontus, Amma nwasun Tirifehimus ku Nmilatuss nin nkonu.

Erastus stayed on in Corinth. I left Trophimus behind in Miletus because he was sick.

21 Yita nin lissufi, pudens wang nin linus, claudia nin linuana vat din lissufi.

Please try to come before winter. Eubulus sends his best wishes—and Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brothers and sisters too.

22 Na cikilari so nin Nruhu fe. Na ubolu Kutelle so nin fi.

The Lord be with you. May his grace be with you all.
