2 Timoteo 4

1 Migyina Onyankopɔn ne Kristo Yesu a obebu ateasefo ne awufo ntɛn, ne ba a ɔbɛba ne nʼahenni no so hyɛ wo sɛ,

I charge thee therefore before God, and before the Lord Iesus Christ, which shall iudge the quicke and dead at that his appearing, and in his kingdome,

2 ka asɛm no, na bere biara gyina ne ka mu dennen yi ntɛn. Ka anim, tu fo na kyerɛkyerɛ wɔ boasetɔ mu.

Preach the worde: be instant, in season and out of season: improue, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine.

3 Bere bi bɛba a nnipa rentie nkyerɛkyerɛ pa no, na mmom wobedi wɔn ara wɔn asɛde akyi na wɔaboaboa akyerɛkyerɛfo a wɔbɛka nsɛm a wɔrehwehwɛ atie no ano, na wɔaka akyerɛ wɔn.

For the time will come, when they will not suffer wholesome doctrine: but hauing their eares itching, shall after their owne lustes get them an heape of teachers,

4 Wɔbɛpo nokware no tie, na wɔatie anansesɛm.

And shall turne their eares from the trueth, and shalbe giuen vnto fables.

5 Nanso mmere nyinaa mu no, ɛsɛ sɛ wohwɛ wo ho so yiye. Mia wʼani wɔ amanehunu mu. Yɛ ɔsɛmpakafo adwuma na di wo dwuma nyinaa sɛ Onyankopɔn somfo.

But watch thou in all thinges: suffer aduersitie: doe the worke of an Euangelist: cause thy ministerie to be throughly liked of.

6 Wogu so rehwie me sɛ afɔre ahwiesa, na bere abɛn sɛ migyaw asetena yi.

For I am nowe readie to be offered, and the time of my departing is at hand.

7 Ɔko pa no, mako, mmirika no, mawie tu; gyidi no makora.

I haue fought a good fight, and haue finished my course: I haue kept the faith.

8 Afei nea ɛwɔ ma me ne nkonim akyɛde, trenee ahenkyɛw a Awurade a ɔyɛ Otemmufo treneeni no de bɛma me da no, ɛnyɛ me nko, na mmom, wɔn a wɔatena ase wɔ ɔdɔ mu atwɛn no no nyinaa.

For hence foorth is laide vp for me the crowne of righteousnesse, which the Lord the righteous iudge shall giue me at that day: and not to me onely, but vnto all them also that loue that his appearing.

9 Bɔ mmɔden bra me nkyɛn ntɛm.

Make speede to come vnto me at once:

10 Dema dɔɔ nnɛ wiase yi ma ɔyɛɛ saa guan gyaa me hɔ kɔɔ Tesalonika. Kreske kɔɔ Galatia, Tito nso kɔɔ Dalmatia. (aiōn g165)

For Demas hath forsaken me, and hath embraced this present world, and is departed vnto Thessalonica. Crescens is gone to Galatia, Titus vnto Dalmatia. (aiōn g165)

11 Luka nko ara na ɔne me wɔ ha. Fa Marko ka wo ho na wo ne no mmra, efisɛ obetumi aboa me adwuma no yɛ.

Onely Luke is with me. Take Marke and bring him with thee: for he is profitable vnto me to minister.

12 Mesomaa Tihiko kɔɔ Efeso.

And Tychicus haue I sent to Ephesus.

13 Sɛ woreba a, fa mʼatade a migyaw wɔ Karpo nkyɛn wɔ Troa no brɛ me. Ɛyɛ a, fa me nwoma mmobɔwee no nso ka ho, ne titiriw no nea wɔde aboa nwoma yɛe no.

The cloke that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou commest, bring with thee, and the bookes, but specially the parchments.

14 Aleksandro, kɔbere dwumfo no, haw me papaapa; Awurade betua no nea ɔyɛɛ no so ka.

Alexander the coppersmith hath done me much euill: the Lord rewarde him according to his workes.

15 Ɛyɛ a hwɛ wo ho yiye wɔ ne ho, efisɛ na ɔsɔre tia nsɛm a yɛka no mu denneennen.

Of whome be thou ware also: for he withstoode our preaching sore.

16 Bere a mereyi me ho ano no, obiara ammoa me. Wɔn nyinaa guan gyaa me. Onyankopɔn mfa nkyɛ wɔn.

At my first answering no man assisted me, but all forsooke me: I pray God, that it may not be laide to their charge.

17 Nanso Awurade ne me tena maa me ahoɔden ma mitumi kaa asɛm no kyerɛɛ amanamanmufo ma wotiei. Ogyee me fii gyata anom.

Notwithstanding the Lord assisted me, and strengthened me, that by me the preaching might be fully beleeued, and that al the Gentiles should heare: and I was deliuered out of the mouth of the lion.

18 Na Awurade begye me afi bɔne nyinaa mu na ɔde me akɔ ɔsoro Ahenni no mu wɔ asomdwoe mu. Ɔno na anuonyam nka no daa daa. Amen. (aiōn g165)

And the Lord will deliuer me from euery euil worke, and will preserue me vnto his heauenly kingdome: to whome be praise for euer and euer, Amen. (aiōn g165)

19 Kyia Priska ne Akwila ne Onesiforo fifo nyinaa ma me.

Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the householde of Onesiphorus.

20 Erasto kaa Korinto na migyaw Trofimo wɔ Mileto, efisɛ na ɔyare.

Erastus abode at Corinthus: Trophimus I left at Miletum sicke.

21 Bɔ mmɔden bra ansa na awɔwbere adu. Eubulo ne Pude ne Lino ne Klaudia ne anuanom no nyinaa kyiakyia wo.

Make speede to come before winter. Eubulus greeteth thee, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren.

22 Awurade ne wo honhom ntena. Adom nka mo nyinaa.

The Lord Iesus Christ be with thy spirit. Grace be with you, Amen. ‘The second Epistle written from Rome vnto Timotheus, the first Bishop elected of the Church of Ephesus, when Paul was presented the second time before the Emperour Nero.’
