2 Timothy 2
1 You therefore, my child, be strengthened in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
Kulwejo awe mwana wani, uyanwe amanaga ango ngali muchigongo chinu chili Munda ya Yesu Kristo.
2 The things which you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit the same things to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.
Ne misango jinu wonguwe kwanye kubhasuta bhanfu, ubhayane abhanu bhe chimali bhanu abhatura okubheigisha abhandi ona.
3 You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
Usangire jinyako amwi nanye, lwo musilikare wa kisi wa Kristo Yesu.
4 No soldier on duty entangles himself in the affairs of life, that he may please him who enrolled him as a soldier.
Atalio omusilikare oyo kafurubhendera mu mwanya ogwo gwo emisango je charo, koleleki amukondereshe esebhugenyi ku misango ejo kubhilikilwa.
5 Also, if anyone competes in athletics, he isn’t crowned unless he has competed by the rules.
Nyabhuliko omunu unu kayajana mwibhilima, atakuyanibhwa lutenga akabheye atagumisishe ebhilagiro.
6 The farmer who labors must be the first to get a share of the crops.
Ni kwa kisi omulimi we chimali abhe wo kwamba okulamira omugabho gwa matwasho gaye.
7 Consider what I say, and may the Lord give you understanding in all things.
Iganilisha kutyo enikubhwira, kwo kubha Omukama kakuyana okusombokerwa emisango jona.
8 Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, of the offspring of David, according to my Good News,
Mwijuke Yesu Kristo, okusoka mu lwibhuro lwa Daudi, unu asuluywe okusoka mubhafuye. Inu ni kusoka mukulasya omusango gwo mweluro,
9 in which I suffer hardship to the point of chains as a criminal. But God’s word isn’t chained.
kulwe misango ejo eninyasibhwa no kubhoywa amaseka kuti munyamusi. Mbe nawe omusango gwa Nyamuanga gutakubhoywa kwa maseka.
10 Therefore I endure all things for the chosen ones’ sake, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. (aiōnios g166)
Ku lwejo, enigumilisha ku lwabho bhona abho Nyamuanga amalile okwaula koleleki bhone bhabhone omweluro okusoka ku Kristo Yesu na likusyo lya kajanende. (aiōnios g166)
11 This saying is trustworthy: “For if we died with him, we will also live with him.
Obhwaiki bhunu mbokwikilisibhwa: “Chibhe chifuye amwi nage, echikara amwi nage ona,
12 If we endure, we will also reign with him. If we deny him, he also will deny us.
labha chikegumilisha, echitunga amwi nage, labha chikamwikana omwene, ona kachikana eswe.
13 If we are faithless, he remains faithful; for he can’t deny himself.”
Chikalema okubha bhe chimali, kasigala omwenene mchimali, kwo kubha atakutura okwirema omwene.
14 Remind them of these things, charging them in the sight of the Lord that they don’t argue about words to no profit, to the subverting of those who hear.
Gendelela okubhejukisha emisango jinu. Nubhaganye okubhambashanya ku misango. Kwo kubha gutalimo muyelo ku misango jinu. Okusokana na linu bhulimo obhunyamuke ku bhanu abhategelesha.
15 Give diligence to present yourself approved by God, a workman who doesn’t need to be ashamed, properly handling the Word of Truth.
Ikomeresha kwa managa okwiyoresha ati wikilisibhwe ku Nyamuanga lwo mukosi oyo atane solo. Likolele lisango lye kisi mu chimali.
16 But shun empty chatter, for it will go further in ungodliness,
Sigana na inyaika ye charo inu eileta obhunyamuke bhwanfu.
17 and those words will consume like gangrene, of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus:
Emisango jebhwe ejiswira lwe chilonda cha imbolera. Kwabho ni Himenayo na Fileto.
18 men who have erred concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection is already past, and overthrowing the faith of some.
Bhanu ni bhanu abho bhatali ne chimali. Abhaika ati obhusuluko bhwasokeleye. Abhaindura elikirisha lya abhanu.
19 However, God’s firm foundation stands, having this seal: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Let every one who names the name of the Lord depart from unrighteousness.”
Nolwo kutyo, elikirisha lye chimali elya Nyamuanga litimbire, elyo lwandiko linu, “Okubha Omukama kabhamenya abhae, kwo kubha oyo kalyaika lisina lyo Mukama asigane no bhunyamuke.”
20 Now in a large house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of clay. Some are for honor and some for dishonor.
Okubha mu nyumba yo munibhi, itali ati bhilimo ebhinu bhya izaabu na iyela, nawe bhilimo ebhya mati ne bhya limomga. Kwibhyo ni kwo mulimu gwe chibharo ebhindi gutali mulimu gwe chibharo.
21 If anyone therefore purges himself from these, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified, and suitable for the master’s use, prepared for every good work.
Mbe nawe omunu akeyosha omwenene okusoka ku milimu jinu jitali ja bhusibhusi, omwene ni chinu che chibharo. Auywe kubha chinu che chibharo ku Mukama na auywe ku milimu gwe kisi.
22 Flee from youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
Iluka inamba yo bhusigaji. Nulubhe echimali, obhurengelesi, elyenda no mulembe amwi na bhanu abhamubhilikila Omukama kwo mwoyo omweru.
23 But refuse foolish and ignorant questionings, knowing that they generate strife.
Nawe uleme amabhusho ge chimumu. Kwo kubha ago agaleta obhulwani.
24 The Lord’s servant must not quarrel, but be gentle toward all, able to teach, patient,
Omukosi wa Nyamuanga ateile okulwana, nawe kendibhwa abhe mufura ku bhanu bhona, unu katura okwiigisha, no kwigumilisha.
25 in gentleness correcting those who oppose him. Perhaps God may give them repentance leading to a full knowledge of the truth,
Ni bhusi bhusi eigishe kwo bhufura bhanu kayajana nabho. Amwi Nyamuanga katura okubhafundukulira okumenya omweluro gwe chimali.
26 and they may recover themselves out of the devil’s snare, having been taken captive by him to do his will.
Bhalafye okusoka mumutego gwa Shetani, oyo abhagwasishe koleleki bhakore chinu kenda.
