2 Timotheo 2
1 Kulwejo awe mwana wani, uyanwe amanaga ango ngali muchigongo chinu chili Munda ya Yesu Kristo.
You therefore, my child, be strengthened in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
2 Ne misango jinu wonguwe kwanye kubhasuta bhanfu, ubhayane abhanu bhe chimali bhanu abhatura okubheigisha abhandi ona.
The things which you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit the same to faithful people, who will be able to teach others also.
3 Usangire jinyako amwi nanye, lwo musilikare wa kisi wa Kristo Yesu.
You therefore must share in hardship, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
4 Atalio omusilikare oyo kafurubhendera mu mwanya ogwo gwo emisango je charo, koleleki amukondereshe esebhugenyi ku misango ejo kubhilikilwa.
No soldier on duty entangles himself in the affairs of life, that he may please him who enrolled him as a soldier.
5 Nyabhuliko omunu unu kayajana mwibhilima, atakuyanibhwa lutenga akabheye atagumisishe ebhilagiro.
Also, if anyone competes in athletics, he is not crowned unless he has competed by the rules.
6 Ni kwa kisi omulimi we chimali abhe wo kwamba okulamira omugabho gwa matwasho gaye.
The farmers who labor must be the first to get a share of the crops.
7 Iganilisha kutyo enikubhwira, kwo kubha Omukama kakuyana okusombokerwa emisango jona.
Consider what I say, for the Lord will give you understanding in all things.
8 Mwijuke Yesu Kristo, okusoka mu lwibhuro lwa Daudi, unu asuluywe okusoka mubhafuye. Inu ni kusoka mukulasya omusango gwo mweluro,
Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, a descendant of David, according to my Good News,
9 kulwe misango ejo eninyasibhwa no kubhoywa amaseka kuti munyamusi. Mbe nawe omusango gwa Nyamuanga gutakubhoywa kwa maseka.
in which I suffer hardship to the point of chains as a criminal. But God's word is not chained.
10 Ku lwejo, enigumilisha ku lwabho bhona abho Nyamuanga amalile okwaula koleleki bhone bhabhone omweluro okusoka ku Kristo Yesu na likusyo lya kajanende. (aiōnios g166)
Therefore I endure all things for the chosen ones' sake, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with everlasting glory. (aiōnios g166)
11 Obhwaiki bhunu mbokwikilisibhwa: “Chibhe chifuye amwi nage, echikara amwi nage ona,
This saying is faithful: "For if we died with him, we will also live with him.
12 labha chikegumilisha, echitunga amwi nage, labha chikamwikana omwene, ona kachikana eswe.
If we endure, we will also reign with him. If we deny him, he also will deny us.
13 Chikalema okubha bhe chimali, kasigala omwenene mchimali, kwo kubha atakutura okwirema omwene.
If we are faithless, he remains faithful, for he cannot deny himself."
14 Gendelela okubhejukisha emisango jinu. Nubhaganye okubhambashanya ku misango. Kwo kubha gutalimo muyelo ku misango jinu. Okusokana na linu bhulimo obhunyamuke ku bhanu abhategelesha.
Remind them of these things, charging them in the presence of God, not to wrangle about words, to no profit, to the subverting of those who hear.
15 Ikomeresha kwa managa okwiyoresha ati wikilisibhwe ku Nyamuanga lwo mukosi oyo atane solo. Likolele lisango lye kisi mu chimali.
Do your best to present yourself approved by God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, properly handling the word of truth.
16 Sigana na inyaika ye charo inu eileta obhunyamuke bhwanfu.
But shun empty chatter, for they will proceed further in ungodliness,
17 Emisango jebhwe ejiswira lwe chilonda cha imbolera. Kwabho ni Himenayo na Fileto.
and their word will consume like gangrene, of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;
18 Bhanu ni bhanu abho bhatali ne chimali. Abhaika ati obhusuluko bhwasokeleye. Abhaindura elikirisha lya abhanu.
who have erred concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection is already past, and overthrowing the faith of some.
19 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.”
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."
20 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.
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.
21 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.
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.
22 Iluka inamba yo bhusigaji. Nulubhe echimali, obhurengelesi, elyenda no mulembe amwi na bhanu abhamubhilikila Omukama kwo mwoyo omweru.
Flee from youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
23 Nawe uleme amabhusho ge chimumu. Kwo kubha ago agaleta obhulwani.
But refuse foolish and ignorant questionings, knowing that they generate strife.
24 Omukosi wa Nyamuanga ateile okulwana, nawe kendibhwa abhe mufura ku bhanu bhona, unu katura okwiigisha, no kwigumilisha.
The Lord's servant must not quarrel, but be gentle towards all, able to teach, patient,
25 Ni bhusi bhusi eigishe kwo bhufura bhanu kayajana nabho. Amwi Nyamuanga katura okubhafundukulira okumenya omweluro gwe chimali.
in gentleness correcting those who oppose him: perhaps God may give them repentance leading to a full knowledge of the truth,
26 Bhalafye okusoka mumutego gwa Shetani, oyo abhagwasishe koleleki bhakore chinu kenda.
and they may recover themselves out of the devil's snare, having been taken captive by him to his will.
