2 Timothy 2

1 So you, my son, be strengthened by the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

Timotius ana susue ngge! Yesus Kristus naa, rala maloleꞌ. Ia naa dadꞌi esa mo E ena, ma Ana o nae tao maꞌadere nggo boe. Dadꞌi ho musi simboꞌ a!

2 Also, the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit the same to faithful men who will be competent to teach others also.

Feꞌesaꞌan, au unori nggo sia atahori hetar mata nara Lamatualain dꞌala masodꞌa ndoo-tetun. Dadꞌi ia naa, au oꞌe nggo, fo rena mala saa mia au e, na muu munori neu atahori fo ho bisa mumuhereꞌ ra. Atahori naa ra musi ranori rahine seluꞌ taꞌo naa neu atahori feaꞌ ra fai.

3 You therefore are to endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.

Basa hita ia, onaꞌ Yesus Kristus soldꞌadꞌu nara. Dadꞌi basa hita lemba doidꞌosoꞌ onaꞌ E boe. Huu ho, soldꞌadꞌu malole, musi lemba babꞌanggim boe.

4 No one serving as a soldier gets entangled in the affairs of civilian life; he wants to please the one who enlisted him.

Soldꞌadꞌu mana tao ue-tataos na, nda neu mbute-mue no ue-tataos laen sa. No taꞌo naa, ana tao namahoꞌo malanggan.

5 Further, if anyone competes in athletics, he is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules

Mete nekendandaaꞌ feaꞌ sia olaraga. Mete ma tungga nesesenggiꞌ, na, tungga olaraga atoran na. Te hokoꞌ, na, muꞌudꞌeaꞌ! Nda musenggiꞌ sa. Onaꞌ naa boe, mete ma mae mulalao Lamatuaꞌ ue-tataon, na, tungga atoran Na.

6 —the hardworking farmer should be the first to receive of the fruits.

Mete mana ue-rae ra boe. Ana tao-ues nda hahae aon sa sia osin rala. Dadꞌi eni etu-oru naꞌahuluꞌ osi a mbule-bꞌoan.

7 Ponder what I am saying; may the Lord indeed give you understanding in it all.

Dꞌuꞌa malolole dalaꞌ ia ra. Dei fo Lamatualain fee nggo muhine basa naa ra.

8 Keep thinking of Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, of David's seed; this is my gospel,

Dꞌuꞌa malolole neu Yesus Kristus. Eni, mane Daud tititi-nonosin. Ana mate, te Lamatualain fee ne nasodꞌa baliꞌ. Naa dadꞌi hara-lii maloleꞌ fo au ufadꞌe sia bee-bꞌee.

9 for which I am suffering to the point of being in chains like a criminal, but the Word of God is not chained.

Huu au ufadꞌe Hara-lii Maloleꞌ naa, naa de au hambu doidꞌosoꞌ taꞌo ia. Lenaꞌ fai ara futu au no rante, onaꞌ au ia atahori deꞌulakaꞌ. Te ara nda ai rala Lamatualain Hara-lii Malolen sa.

10 This is why I endure it all: for the sake of the chosen ones, that they also may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory. (aiōnios g166)

De au uhehere lemba doidꞌosoꞌ mataꞌ-mataꞌ. Sadꞌi Lamatualain atahori nara fo Ana pili nalaꞌ ra, hambu masodꞌaꞌ. Te dei fo Lamatualain soꞌu nananaru se rakandooꞌ a, huu ara dadꞌi Yesus Kristus atahori nara. (aiōnios g166)

11 This is a trustworthy word: If, indeed, we died together, we will also live together;

Dedꞌea-oꞌolaꞌ ia ra memaꞌ tebꞌe: “Mete ma ata simbo tae, Kristus mate nggati hita, naa onaꞌ hita o mate hela masodꞌa mbara tara, fo, tasodꞌa to E boe.

12 if we endure, we will also reign together; if we deny, He will also deny us;

Mete ma taꞌatataaꞌ to doidꞌosoꞌ a, dei fo ata endoꞌ toꞌu parendaꞌ taꞌabꞌue to E. Te mete ma tafanii E, Ana o nafanii nggita boe.

13 if we are faithless, He remains faithful —He is incapable of denying Himself.

Onaꞌ mae rala tara nda taꞌatataaꞌ tungga E sa, te Ralan naꞌatataaꞌ no nggita nakandooꞌ a, huu Ana nda bisa lelekoꞌ sa. Saa fo Ana olaꞌ, Ana tao tungga.”

14 Keep reiterating these things, exhorting them before the Lord not to argue about words to no useful purpose—it just ruins the hearers.

Fee nesenenedꞌaꞌ neu atahori mamahereꞌ ra, fo ara afiꞌ liliiꞌ basa ia ra. Ai se no Lamatualain naran, fo ara raloeꞌ rareresi dedꞌea-oꞌolaꞌ ra sosoan. Huu basa naa ra nda ma nggunaꞌ saa sa boe. Akaꞌ a tao nalutu atahori mana renaꞌ ra dudꞌuꞌa nara.

15 Make every effort to render yourself approved by God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, handling the Word of the Truth correctly.

Tao muꞌubꞌebꞌesa aom fo onaꞌ atahori mana tao-ues nandaa hambu kokoaꞌ mia Lamatualain. Atahori onaꞌ naa afiꞌ mae, huu ana tao ue-tataon no maloleꞌ. Ho musi dadꞌi atahori mana nanori Lamatualain Dedꞌea-oꞌolan no matetuꞌ. Huu dedꞌea-oꞌolan tebꞌe!

16 But shun godless, empty chatter, because those who do it will become increasingly godless,

Muꞌudꞌodꞌooꞌ mia dedꞌea-oꞌolaꞌ mana nda naꞌena huu-tonggoꞌ sa, ma dedꞌea-oꞌolaꞌ mana nda fee hadꞌa-hormat neu Lamatualain sa. Te naa taoꞌ a atahori boe tao deꞌulakaꞌ.

17 and their word will spread like gangrene—among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus,

Dedꞌea-oꞌola deꞌulaka nara, nanoꞌi onaꞌ hedꞌi dꞌio-maneꞌ. Himeneus no Filetus oꞌola nara, onaꞌ naa!

18 who have wandered away from the Truth, saying that the resurrection has already occurred; and they overturn the faith of some.

Ruꞌa se ranori sala rae, basa atahori mates ra, rasodꞌa baliꞌ ena. Te nda tebꞌe sa! No taꞌo naa, ara dinggoꞌ raꞌadꞌooꞌ mia dꞌala ndoo-tetuꞌ a. Saa fo sira ranoriꞌ naa ra, tao ralutuꞌ a atahori ruma nemehere nara.

19 Nevertheless, the solid foundation of God stands firm, having this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,” and let everyone who claims the name of the Lord keep away from unrighteousness.

Te netehuuꞌ fo Lamatualain nafefelaꞌ a, nda nanggongga sa. Sia netehuuꞌ naa, nenesuraꞌ oi, “Lamatuaꞌ nahine atahori nara”, ma, “Atahori mana sendeꞌ neu Lamatualain musi raꞌadodꞌooꞌ mia deꞌulakaꞌ.” Netehuuꞌ naa, naeni, Lamatualain atahori nara.

20 Now in a large house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay; some, to be sure, are for honor, but some are for dishonor.

Sia atahori mamasuꞌiꞌ ra umen rala, hambu sudꞌiꞌ a saa mataꞌ-mataꞌ. Hambu ruma nenetaoꞌ mia lilo ma doi fulaꞌ. Te ruma nenetaoꞌ mia hau no rae huraꞌ. Tenu ume a maꞌahee pake sudꞌiꞌ a saa meulauꞌ ra, sia fefeta monaeꞌ. Te ana mae pake sudꞌiꞌ a saa nda meulauꞌ ra sa, sia atahori ra mata nara. Atahori o onaꞌ naa boe. Atahori mana naꞌadꞌodꞌoꞌ no deꞌulakaꞌ a, ana onaꞌ sudꞌiꞌ a saa meulauꞌ ra. Tenu umeꞌ a namahoꞌo pake e, huu ana ma nggunaꞌ fo tao-ues mataꞌ-mataꞌ no maloleꞌ.

21 So if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful to the Master, prepared for every good work.

22 Flee the lusts of youth; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

Atahori soruꞌ ra tudꞌa reuꞌ ena, huu ara tungga hihii-nanau ao-sisi nara. Te, Timotius, musi munea aom malolole, fo afiꞌ tungga hihiiꞌ onaꞌ naa. Taoꞌ a maloleꞌ. Mumuhere mukundoo neu Lamatuaꞌ. Musodꞌa no susueꞌ ma mole-dꞌame mo basa atahori. Basa atahori mana ramahere neu Lamatuaꞌ, ma rasodꞌa no rala meumareꞌ, hiiꞌ a tao maloleꞌ rakandooꞌ a. Dadꞌi Timotius, ho musi musodꞌa onaꞌ se boe!

23 Refuse foolish and ignorant arguments, knowing that they breed quarrels.

Au ufadꞌe seluꞌ fai! Afiꞌ muu sordꞌodꞌodꞌo fo munggadoꞌ soꞌal dedꞌeat mana nda ma huu-tonggoꞌ sa. Te basa naa ra soa tao atahori ra ratofa-rarauꞌ.

24 Now a slave of the Lord should not quarrel but be gentle towards all, skillful at teaching, forbearing,

Atahori mana tao-ues fee Lamatuaꞌ, nda randaa dadꞌi mana tao nemuet sa. Ara musi malole ro basa atahori, ranori rahine atahori, raꞌatataaꞌ mbali atahori mana sangga-sanggaꞌ a nemuet.

25 correcting courteously those who oppose him, in hopes that God may grant them repentance leading to a real knowledge of Truth,

Ara o musi ranori no malolole atahori mana labꞌan se. No taꞌo naa, se bubꞌuluꞌ, Lamatualain natetu rala nara, fo raloeꞌ, naa fo ara simbo dꞌala ndoo-tetuꞌ a.

26 and that they may retrieve their senses out of the devil's snare (having been taken captive by him to do his will).

No taꞌo naa, dudꞌuꞌa nara manggarelo bꞌaliꞌ, ma nenemboiꞌ mia nitu ra malangga monaen, fo mana futu-paꞌa se fo tungga hihiin.
