2 Timoti 4

¹Ndinokupupurira kwazvo naizvozvo pamberi paMwari, naShe Jesu Kristu, iye uchatonga vapenyu navakafa pakuvonekwa kwake novushe bwake;I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;

²paridza shoko; ramba uchidaro nenguva yakafanira, kunyange isakafanira; raira, tuka, ranga nomoyo murefu zvikuru nokudzidzisa.Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.

³Nokuti nguva ichasvika yavacharamba kutendera dzidziso yakarurama, asi, vachida kufadzwa panzeve dzavo, vachizvivunganidzira vadzidzisi pakuchiva kwavo,For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

⁴vachifuratidza nzeve dzavo pazvokwadi, vachitsaukira kungano.And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

⁵Asi iwe svinura pazvinhu zvose, tambudzika, bata basa romuevhangeri, upedzise basa rako kwazvo.But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.

⁶Nokuti ini ndotodururwa, nguva yokuenda kwangu yasvika.For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.

⁷Ndarwa kurwa kwakanaka, ndapedza rwendo rwangu, ndakachengeta kutenda;I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:

⁸kubva zvino ndakachengeterwa, korona yokururama, yandichapiwa naShe, Mutongi wakarurama, nezuva irero; ndisini ndoga, asi navose vanoda kuvonekwa kwake.Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.

⁹Shingaira kuti ukurumidze kuvuya kwandiri.Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me:

¹⁰Nokuti Dhemasi wakandisiya, akada nyika yazvino. Akaenda Tesaronika; Kreske wakaenda Garatia, naTito wakaenda Dharmatia.For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia.

¹¹Ruka oga uneni. Tora Mako uvuye naye nokuti unondibatsira kwazvo pabasa.Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry.

¹²Asi Tikiko ndakamutuma Efeso.And Tychicus have I sent to Ephesus.

¹³Nguvo yandakasiya paTroa kunaKarpo, uvuye nayo pakuvuya kwako, nebhuku, zvikuru magwaro amatebwe.The cloke that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest, bring with thee, and the books, but especially the parchments.

¹⁴Areksandro, mupfuri wendarira, wakandiitira zvakaipa zvizhinji; Ishe uchamutsiva paakaita napo;Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord reward him according to his works:

¹⁵newe vo umuchenjere, nokuti wakadzivisa zvikuru mashoko edu.Of whom be thou ware also; for he hath greatly withstood our words.

¹⁶Pakuzvidavirira kwangu kwokutanga kwakanga kusino munhu wakandibatsira, asi vose vakandisiya. Ngavarege kuravirwa izvozvi.At my first answer no man stood with me, but all men forsook me: I pray God that it may not be laid to their charge.

¹⁷Asi Ishe wakamira neni, akandisimbisa, kuti ndipedzise kwazvo kuparidza kwangu, vahedheni vose vanzwe; ndikarwirwa pamuromo weshumba.Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.

¹⁸Ishe uchandirwira pamabasa ose akaipa, uchandiponesa ndipinde vushe bwake bwokudenga; kubwinya ngakuve kwaari nokusingaperi-peri. Ameni.And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

¹⁹Ndikwazisirei Priska naAkwira, neimba yaOnesiforo.Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus.

²⁰Erasto wakasara paKorinte, asi Trofimo ndakamusiya paMireto achirwara.Erastus abode at Corinth: but Trophimus have I left at Miletum sick.

²¹Shingaira kuvuya, chando chisati chasvika. Yuburo, naPude, naRina, naKraudia nehama dzose vanokukwazisa.Do thy diligence to come before winter. Eubulus greeteth thee, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren.

²²Ishe Jesu Kristu ngaave nomweya wako. Nyasha ngadzive nemi. Ameni.The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.
