2 Timotheo 4
Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
Berean Standard Bible
1Nakuamuru mbele ya Mungu, na mbele ya Kristo Yesu atakayewahukumu watu walio hai na wafu, na kwa sababu anakuja kutawala akiwa Mfalme:
1I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of His appearing and His kingdom:
2hubiri huo ujumbe, sisitiza kuutangaza (iwe ni wakati wa kufaa au wakati usiofaa), karipia, onya na himiza watu ukiwafundisha kwa uvumilivu wote.
2Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and encourage with every form of patient instruction.
3Utakuja wakati ambapo watu hawatasikiliza mafundisho ya kweli, ila watafuata tamaa zao wenyewe na kujikusanyia walimu tele watakaowaambia mambo yale tu ambayo masikio yao yako tayari kusikia.
3For the time will come when men will not tolerate sound doctrine, but with itching ears they will gather around themselves teachers to suit their own desires.
4Watakataa kuusikia ukweli, watageukia hadithi za uongo.
4So they will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.
5Wewe, lakini, uwe macho katika kila hali; vumilia mateso, fanya kazi ya mhubiri wa Habari Njema, timiza kikamilifu utumishi wako.
5But you, be sober in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.
6Kwa upande wangu mimi, niko karibu kabisa kutolewa dhabihu na wakati wa kufariki kwangu umefika.
6For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time of my departure is at hand.
7Nimefanya bidii katika mashindano, nimemaliza safari yote na imani nimeitunza.
7I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
8Na sasa imebakia tu kupewa tuzo la ushindi kwa maisha ya uadilifu, tuzo ambalo Bwana Hakimu wa haki, atanipa mimi Siku ile na wala si mimi tu, ila na wale wote wanaotazamia kwa upendo kutokea kwake.
8From now on there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but to all who crave His appearing.
9Fanya bidii kuja kwangu karibuni.
9Make every effort to come to me quickly,
10Dema ameupenda ulimwengu huu akaniacha na kwenda zake Thesalonike. Kreske amekwenda Galatia, na Tito amekwenda Dalmatia.
10because Demas, in his love of this world, has deserted me and gone to Thessalonica. Crescens has gone to Galatia, and Titus to Dalmatia.
11Luka peke yake ndiye aliye hapa pamoja nami. Mpate Marko uje naye, kwa maana ataweza kunisaidia katika kazi yangu.
11Only Luke is with me. Get Mark and bring him with you, because he is useful to me in the ministry.
12Nilimtuma Tukiko kule Efeso.
12Tychicus, however, I have sent to Ephesus.
13Utakapokuja niletee koti langu nililoacha kwa Karpo kule Troa; niletee pia vile vitabu, na hasa vile vilivyotengenezwa kwa ngozi.
13When you come, bring the cloak that I left with Carpus at Troas, and my scrolls, especially the parchments.
14Yule sonara aitwaye Aleksanda amenitendea maovu mengi; Bwana atamlipa kufuatana na hayo matendo yake.
14Alexander the coppersmith did great harm to me. The Lord will repay him according to his deeds.
15Jihadhari naye kwa sababu aliupinga ujumbe wetu kwa ukali.
15You too should beware of him, for he has vigorously opposed our message.
16Wakati nilipojitetea kwa mara ya kwanza hakuna mtu aliyesimama upande wangu; wote waliniacha. Mungu asiwahesabie kosa hilo!
16At my first defense, no one stood with me, but everyone deserted me. May it not be charged against them.
17Lakini, Bwana alikaa pamoja nami, akanipa nguvu, hata nikaweza kuutangaza ujumbe wote, watu wa mataifa wausikie; tena nikaokolewa katika hukumu ya kifo kama kinywani mwa simba.
17But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, so that through me the message would be fully proclaimed, and all the Gentiles would hear it. So I was delivered from the mouth of the lion.
18Bwana ataniokoa na mambo yote maovu, na kunichukua salama mpaka katika Utawala wake wa mbinguni. Kwake uwe utukufu milele na milele! Amina.
18And the Lord will rescue me from every evil action and bring me safely into His heavenly kingdom. To Him be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
19Wasalimu Priska na Akula, pamoja na jamaa ya Onesiforo.
19Greet Prisca and Aquila, as well as the household of Onesiphorus.
20Erasto alibaki Korintho, naye Trofimo nilimwacha Mileto kwa sababu alikuwa mgonjwa.
20Erastus has remained at Corinth, and Trophimus I left sick in Miletus.
21Fanya bidii kuja kabla ya majira ya baridi. Ebulo, Pude, Lino na Klaudia wanakusalimu; vilevile ndugu wengine wote.
21Make every effort to come to me before winter. Eubulus sends you greetings, as do Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brothers.
22Bwana awe nawe rohoni mwako. Nawatakieni nyote neema.
22The Lord be with your spirit. Grace be with you all.
