< 2 Timothy 3 >

1 But know this: that in the last days, grievous times will come.
Wò ŋku nenɔ esia dzi be ɣeyiɣi vɔ̃wo ava le ŋkeke mamlɛawo me.
2 For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
Amewo anye ɖokuilɔ̃lawo, galɔ̃lawo, adegbe ƒuƒlu ƒolawo, dadalawo, amedzulawo, ame siwo meɖoa to wo dzilawo o, akpemadalawo, ame makɔmakɔwo,
3 without natural affection, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, not lovers of good,
amemalɔ̃lawo, ame siwo metsɔa nu vɔ̃ kena o, ameŋugblẽlawo, ɖokuidzimaɖulawo, ŋutasẽlawo, ame siwo léa fu nu nyui,
4 traitors, headstrong, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
amegɔmezɔlawo, dzimagbɔɖitɔwo, ɖokuiŋudzelawo, ame siwo lɔ̃a xexemedzidzɔ wu Mawu,
5 holding a form of godliness but having denied its power. Turn away from these, also.
ame siwo si gotagome ƒe mawuvɔvɔ̃ le, evɔ wogbe nu le ŋusẽ si ana be woanɔ agbe le Mawu me la gbɔ. Te ɖokuiwò ɖa xaa tso ame siawo gbɔ.
6 For some of these are people who creep into houses and take captive gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts,
Woawoe nye ame siwo yia ame bubuwo ƒe aƒewo me le adzame, eye wowɔa xɔlɔ̃ kple nyɔnu abunɛtɔ siwo me nu vɔ̃ xɔ aƒe ɖo la, eye wofiaa woƒe xɔse yeye la wo.
7 always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
Nyɔnu siawo tɔgbi dzea nufiala yeyewo yome ɣe sia ɣi, ke womesea nyateƒe la gɔme ɣe aɖeke ɣi o.
8 Even as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these also oppose the truth, men corrupted in mind, who concerning the faith are rejected.
Nufiala siawo tsia tsitre ɖe nyateƒe la ŋu abe ale si Yane kple Yambre tsi tsitre ɖe Mose ŋu ene. Susu ƒoɖi totro kpaɖikpaɖiwo le wo me, eye wotsi tsitre ɖe Kristo dzixɔse la ŋu.
9 But they will proceed no further. For their folly will be evident to all men, as theirs also came to be.
Ke womanɔ edzi alea tegbee o. Gbe ɖeka la, amewo katã ava nya woƒe amebeble abe ale si amewo va nya Yane kple Yambre ƒe nu vɔ̃ ene.
10 But you followed my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, love, steadfastness,
Ke ènya to ŋkuléle ɖe ŋunye me be nyemenye ame siawo tɔgbi o. Ènya nu si dzi mexɔ se, ale si menɔa agbee kple nu si dim mele. Ènya nye Kristo dzixɔse kple nye fukpekpewo. Ènya nu tso ale si melɔ̃ wò kple nye dzidodo ŋu.
11 persecutions, and sufferings—those things that happened to me at Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. I endured those persecutions. The Lord delivered me out of them all.
Ènya fukpekpe geɖe siwo va dzinye le gbeƒãɖeɖe nyanyui la ta. Ènya nu siwo katã wowɔm esi meyi Antioxia, Ikonio kple Listra hã, ke Aƒetɔ la ɖem tso wo me.
12 Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Messiah Yeshua will suffer persecution.
Ɛ̃, ame siwo ɖo be yewoadze Kristo Yesu ŋu to agbenɔnɔ le mawuvɔvɔ̃ me me la akpe fu le ame siwo lé fui la ƒe asi me.
13 But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.
Le nyateƒe me la, ame vɔ̃ɖiwo kple aʋatsonufialawo ƒe vɔɖivɔ̃ɖi anɔ sesẽm ɖe edzi wu, eye woanɔ ame geɖewo blem abe ale si Satana ble woawo ŋutɔ hã ene.
14 But you remain in the things which you have learnt and have been assured of, knowing from whom you have learnt them.
Ke ele na wò be nàlé nu siwo wofia wò la dzixɔse me ɖe asi. Ènya be nu siawo nye nyateƒe, elabena ènya be yeate ŋu axɔ mí ame siwo fia nu siawo wò la dzi ase.
15 From infancy, you have known the holy Scriptures which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Messiah Yeshua.
Ènya ale si, esi nènye ɖevi sue la, wofia Ŋɔŋlɔ Kɔkɔe la wò, nu siawo na nèdze nunya be nàkpɔ Mawu ƒe ɖeɖe to Kristo Yesu dzixɔse me.
16 Every Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness,
Mawu tsɔ eƒe nya la na mí to eƒe Gbɔgbɔ si wɔ dɔ le amewo me la dzi, eya ta Biblia nyo hena nufiafia tso nu siwo nye nyateƒe la ŋu kple ale si wòana míadze si nu siwo nye nu vɔ̃ le míaƒe agbenɔnɔ me. Edaa mí ɖe mɔ dzɔdzɔe dzi, eye wòkpena ɖe mía ŋu be míawɔ nu si nyo, eye wòdze.
17 that each person who belongs to God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
Eyae nye Mawu ƒe mɔ si dzraa mí ɖo nyuie le go sia go me hena nyuiwɔwɔ na ame sia ame.
