2 Timothy 3
1 [You need to] realize that during the last days [MTY] [before Christ returns, evil people will make] it difficult [for believers to behave as they should].
Mmanyilile kuti moŵa ga mbesi chikuŵe ni ndaŵi sya malagasyo gamakulungwa.
2 This is because [such evil] people will be habitually loving themselves and loving money. They will habitually boast [about themselves], they will be proud, and will often say bad things [about others. They] will disobey [their] parents. They will not be thankful, nor will they respect [anything that is good].
Pakuŵa ŵandu chachiŵa ŵakulinonyelesya achinsyene ni ŵakusinonyela mbiya ni ŵakulilapa ni ŵachibuli ni ŵakwatukana Akunnungu ni ŵangakwapilikanichisya achaŵelesi ni ŵangali ni kutogolela ni ŵandu ŵachigongomalo.
3 They will not [even] love their own family, nor agree with [anybody] (OR, [they never forgive anyone]). They will tell lies about people. They will not control what they say and do, nor allow anyone to control them. They will not love [anything that is] good.
Chapagwe ŵandu ŵangali ni unonyelo muntima ni ŵangakusaka kwilana ni ŵakulambusya ni ŵakutolwa ni ŵachikali ni ŵangakuinonyela indu yambone.
4 They will (betray others/hand others over to their enemies) and act foolishly. They will be overly/very proud of themselves, and they will love to please themselves instead of loving God.
Chachiŵa ŵakugalaukana jwine ni jwine ni ŵandu ŵangakukosya ni ŵa chibuli ni ŵakusaka kulinonyelesya kwa indu kupunda kwanonyela Akunnungu.
5 [And, although they will] pretend that they worship God, they will not let [God’s Spirit] work powerfully [in their lives]. Do not associate with such people (OR, Do not let such people join [your congregation]),
Kwa paasa chaoneche mpela ŵandu ŵakwapopelela Akunnungu nambo akugakana machili gakwe. Nliŵambasye ni ŵandu wo.
6 because some such [people, even now], subtly/deceivingly persuade foolish women to let them come into their houses, and then they deceive those women [so that they control what those women think. These women] have been burdened with sins {have sinned very much} and they have been led to do {they do} the many [evil] things that they strongly desire to do.
Mwa ŵelewo akwaula mmajumba ga ŵandu ni kwalambusya achakongwe ŵakuloŵela ni kwatenda ŵapikanile ŵanyawo pe. Achakongwe wo aguumbele sambi ni kulongoswa ni tama ja kupisyangana.
7 [Even though] they are always [wanting to] learn new things, they are never able to recognize what is true.
Achakongwe wo akusaka kulijiganya moŵa gose nambo ngakukombola kwika mwa kuumanyilila usyene.
8 Just like Jannes and Jambres [long ago] very much opposed Moses, so also some [people] now oppose the true [message. Those] people think only what is evil. God rejects them [because they do not] believe [what is true].
Ŵakwiganya wo akuukanila usyene mpela ila che Yane ni che Yambule iŵatite kwakanila che Musa. Nganisyo sya ŵele ŵandu syejonasiche ni chikulupi chao chili chaunami.
9 Nevertheless, they will not continue to succeed, because most [HYP] people will understand clearly that such people are foolish, just like people also realized [clearly that Jannes and Jambres were foolish].
Nambo ŵelewo ngasajendechela kose pakuŵa kuloŵela kwao chikuwoneche pakulanguka kwa ŵandu wose. Yele ni iyatite kwa che Yane ni che Yambule.
10 But as for yourself, you have fully known what I have taught. You have known [and imitated] the way in which I conducted my life, [and] what I have been trying to do. [You have] trusted [God as] I have. You have been patient as I have been. [You have] loved people [as] I have, and [you have] endured [as you suffered like] I have [suffered].
Nambo mmwejo ngakuyiye majiganyo gangu ni lwendo lwangu ni aila inasakaga kuitenda ni chikulupi changu ni upililiu wangu ni unonyelo wangu ni kulindilila kwangu nkupililila,
11 [You know how I endured many times when people] harmed me. [They] caused me to suffer at Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra [cities]. [But although they caused me to suffer], I endured it; and every time [they] did those things to me, the Lord rescued me.
masausyo gangu ni kulaga kwangu. Nkumanyilila indu yose iyangopochele une ku Antiokia ni ku ikonio ni ku Lisita. Nagapililile masausyo gamakulungwa nnope! Nambo Ambuje ŵangulupwisye mu yose.
12 (Indeed/You know that), for us [(inc)] who want to live (in a [godly manner/] a [manner that pleases God]), we will always be persecuted {there will always be people who will cause us to suffer} because we [have a close relationship with] Christ Jesus.
Elo, ni wose ŵakusaka kutama ni kwapopelela Akunnungu nkulumbikana ni Kilisito Yesu alindilile kulagaswa.
13 Evil people (OR, And those) who deceive other people will (get worse/teach things that are more and more wrong). [Specifically, they will] deceive other people, and [those who hear them will] deceive others.
Nambo ŵandu ŵangalumbana ni ŵakulambusya chapunde kuŵa ŵangalumbana, chiŵalambusye ŵandu ŵane ni welewo chachilambuswa ni ŵandu ŵane.
14 But you, in contrast, must continue [to believe] what you have learned and (been assured of/firmly believe). [I know that you are confident/sure that it is true because] you know that you have learned it from all [of us who taught you] ([God’s truth/what is right]).
Nambo mmwejo nlimbile kutama mu usyene umwajiganyikwe ni kuukunda. Pakuŵa nkwamanyilila ŵaani ŵanjigenye ni ŵankwakulupilila.
15 From [the time when you were] a child you have known the holy writings/Scriptures. [You now know that] they enabled you to become wise so that God saved you because of your believing in Christ Jesus.
Nkumbuchile kuti chitandile uwanache wenu mkugamanyilila Malembelo ga Akunnungu yagakuti kumpa lunda lwalukuikanawo ukulupusyo kwa litala lya kwakulupilila Kilisito.
16 God (inspired/put into men’s minds) everything [that is written] in the Scriptures {they [wrote] in the holy writings}, and those writings are all useful to teach [us what is true], to cause us to know [when we are] wrong and then (to correct us/to show us what we have done that is wrong), and to train/teach us to do what is right.
Malembelo ga Akunnungu gose galembekwe kwa kulongoswa ni Akunnungu nombe gana masengo gakwiganya usyene ni gakwamuka ni gakulinganya ileŵo ni kwajiganya ŵandu atame mu utame wambone paujo pa Akunnungu,
17 What [is written] {they wrote} is useful to help us who [serve] God to be ready/prepared to do all that we should do. By means of it, we are equipped {God gives us what we need} in order to do every [kind of] good deeds.
kuti mundu jwakuntumichila Akunnungu aŵe jwakomboleswe mu indu yose kuti aŵe chile kupanganya masengo gagali gambone.
