2 Timoti 4

1 Pamenso a Lesa ne Klistu Yesu, uyo lakesanga kombolosha bayumi ne bafwa, pakwinga lakesanga kali Mwami, ndakwambilinga mwangofu ndeti,

I attest thee before Aloha, and our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, who is to judge the living and the dead at the revelation of his kingdom:

2 kambauka Mulumbe wa Lesa pa cindi bantu ncebalayandanga kukutika, ne pa cindi ncebatasuni kukutika. Balulamike nekubakalalila kayi ne kubayuminisha pakubeisha ca moyonteka.

preach the word, and stand with diligence in season, and (that) which is not season; confute, and rebuke with all prolongedness of mind and doctrine.

3 Cilakashikinga cindi nceti bakatatike kukana kwiyisha kwa ncine ncine, neco nibakayande beshikwiyisha bintu byelana ne mbyobalandanga kunyumfwa.

For the time will come, when sound doctrine they will not hear; but according to their desires will multiply to themselves teachers, in the itching of their hearing.

4 Nibakakonkelengo'wa tulabi ne kukana kunyumfwa ca ncine ncine,

And from the truth they will turn away their ear, but to fables will decline.

5 obe kolilama mu bintu byonse, kotalefuka mumakatasho, sebensa ncito ya kukambauka Mulumbe Waina, kwanilisha ncito yakobe.

But watch thou in every thing, and endure evils, and work the work of an evangelist, and thy ministry fulfil.

6 Ame ndili pepi kufwa. Buyumi bwakame bulyeti mulumbo uletilwanga pa nteme.

But I am sacrificed, and the time when I shall be dissolved cometh.

7 Ndalwana nkondo yaina, ndapwishi kufwamba lubilo kayi ndashomeke mpaka kumapwililisho.

The good agony I have fought, and my running I have completed, and my faith I have kept.

8 Pa cino cindi munshini wa bululami ulampembelelenga uwo Mwami Lesa momboloshi walulama ngoshakampe pa busuba busa, nomba nteti akapo'wa ame ndenka, nsombi nakape bonse balapembelelenga kwisa kwakendi.

And from now there is kept for me the crown of righteousness, which my Lord will give me in that day, because he is a righteous judge: yet, not only to me, but to all them who love his manifestation.

9 Fwambana kwisa kuno,

BE careful to come to me speedily;

10 Dema layandishishi bintu bya mucishi lanshiyi waya ku Tesalonika. Kelesike waya ku Galatiya, neye Tito waya ku Dalamatiya, (aiōn g165)

for Dema hath left me, and hath loved this world, and is gone to Thessalonika; Krispos to Galatia, Titos to Dalmatia; (aiōn g165)

11 Kuno ndili ne Luka enka. Pakwisa ukese pamo ne Maliko kwambeti akese akanyamfweko ncito.

Luka only is with me. Take Markos and bring him with thee; for helpful to me is he in the ministry.

12 Tukiko ndamutuma ku Efenso.

But Tykikos have I sent to Ephesos.

13 Pakwisa ukandeteleleko munganjo ngondalashiya kuli Kalipo ku Tulowa, kayi ukaletelele asa mabuku akame abipaya.

The case (for) books which I left at Troas with Karpos, when thou comest bring, and the books, and especially the roll of parchments.

14 Alekisandulo shatwela usa walanjinshila bintu byaipa, nsombi Mwami Lesa nakamubweshele byaipa.

Alexander the brass-worker many evils hath showed me: our Lord awardeth to him according to his deeds.

15 Alekisandulo walikutoteka mulumbe ngotwali kukambauka, ne njobe ucenjele nendi.

But be thou also aware of him, for he is much uplifted against our words.

16 Mpondali kulitabilisha pakomboloshewa pa cindi cakutanguna paliya walanyamfwa, bonse balamwaika. Nomba Lesa katabapa mulandu sobwe.

In the first defence no man was with me, but all of them left me. May this not be reckoned to them!

17 Nomba Lesa walikuba ne njame, walampa ngofu sha kukambauka mulumbe kwambeti bantu batamwishi Lesa, kayi ndalapuluka kulufu.

But my Lord stood with me, that by me the preaching might be fulfilled, and (that) all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered from the mouth of the lion.

18 Lesa nakamfune mu byaipa byonse ne kuntwala mu Bwami bwakendi bwa kwilu. Kulyendiye kube bulemu butapu! Ameni. (aiōn g165)

And my Lord will deliver me from every evil work, and will save me into his kingdom, which is in heaven. To Him be glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

19 Umpeleko mitende Pulisika ne Akula ne ba mung'anda ya Onesifolo.

Give salutation to Priskela, and to Akilos, and to the house of Onesiphoros.

20 Elasito washalila ku Kolinto, neye Tolofimo ndalamushiya kakolwa pa nsumbu ya Mileto.

Erastos remains at Kurinthos; but Trophimos I left ill in Miletos the city.

21 Ufwambane kwisa kuno kacitana cishika cindi ca mupewo. Yubulu, ne Puludensi, ne Linosi ne Kolodiyasi kayi ne banse bonse bashoma muli Mwami Klistu balamupanga mitende.

Be careful to come before winter. Ebulos and Pudis, and Linos, and Klaudia, and all the brethren, ask for your peace.

22 Mwami abe nenjobe kayi kwina moyo kwakendi Lesa kube nenjamwe.

Our Lord Jeshu Meshiha be with thy spirit. Grace be with thee. Amen.
