1I testify before God and Christ Jesus, who is about to judge living and dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom,
1 Ay goono ga ni lordi Irikoy da Almasihu Yesu jine, nga kaŋ ga fundikooney da buukoy ciiti, ay ga ni lordi mo a bangandiyaŋo d'a koytara boŋ:
2proclaim the word; be urgent in season [and] out of season, convict, rebuke, encourage, with all longsuffering and doctrine.
2 Ni ma Sanno waazu. Da daama go no, wala nd'a si no, ni ma kookari. Ma deeni, ma kaseeti, ma yaamar da suuru nda dondonandiyaŋ kulu.
3For the time shall be when they will not bear sound teaching; but according to their own lusts will heap up to themselves teachers, having an itching ear;
3 Zama alwaati ga kaa kaŋ borey si hin suuru nda dondonandiyaŋ cimi-cimo, amma i ga dondonandikoyaŋ margu ngey boŋ se, ngey bine ibaay laaley boŋ, kaŋ ga ci i se haŋ kaŋ ga kaan i hangey se.
4and they will turn away their ear from the truth, and will have turned aside to fables.
4 I ga ngey hangey kaa cimi gaa ka kamba ka koy jandey gaa.
5But *thou*, be sober in all things, bear evils, do [the] work of an evangelist, fill up the full measure of thy ministry.
5 Amma ni wo, ni ma hin ni boŋ hay kulu ra. Ma hin taabi suuru, ma Baaru Hanna waazuko goyo te, ma ni saajaw goyo toonandi.
6For *I* am already being poured out, and the time of my release is come.
6 Zama za sohõ ay ciya haŋyaŋ sargay kaŋ i ga soogu. Ay koyyaŋo alwaato mo to.
7I have combated the good combat, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
7 Ay na wongu hanno te, ay n'ay bata toonandi, ay na cimbeero fonda gana ka haggoy d'a a ma boori.
8Henceforth the crown of righteousness is laid up for me, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will render to me in that day; but not only to me, but also to all who love his appearing.
8 Sohõ binde adilitaray boŋtoba go jisante ay se, kaŋ Rabbi, Adilitaraykoyo kaŋ ga ciiti te, g'ay no zaaro din ra. Manti ay hinne se n'a g'a no bo, amma borey kulu kaŋ yaŋ ga ba a bangandiyaŋo mo se.
9Use diligence to come to me quickly;
9 Ma waasu ka kaa ay do, ma si gay bo.
10for Demas has forsaken me, having loved the present age, and is gone to Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia.
10 Zama zamana wo baakasinay sabbay se no Dimas dira k'ay naŋ ka koy Tassalonika. Karaska koy Galatiya laabu, Titos mo koy Dalmatiya laabu.
11Luke alone is with me. Take Mark, and bring [him] with thyself, for he is serviceable to me for ministry.
11 Luka hinne no go ay banda. Ma Markos kabay ni banda, zama a gonda albarka ay se goyo ra.
12But Tychicus I have sent to Ephesus.
12 Amma ay na Ticikos donton Afasos.
13The cloak which I left behind [me] in Troas at Carpus's, bring when thou comest, and the books, especially the parchments.
13 Da ni ga kaa, ma kande ay kwaayo kaŋ ay naŋ Karbus kambe ra Tarawasa kwaara. Ma kande tirey mo, sanku fa wo kaŋ yaŋ i hantum kuuru gaa.
14Alexander the smith did many evil things against me. The Lord will render to him according to his works.
14 Iskandari, guuru-ciray zamo, na hari laalo boobo te ay se. Rabbi g'a bana a goyo boŋ.
15Against whom be *thou* also on thy guard, for he has greatly withstood our words.
15 Ni ma haggoy d'a mo fa, zama a murte iri sanney gaa gumo.
16At my first defence no man stood with me, but all deserted me. May it not be imputed to them.
16 Ay faasayaŋ sintina kaŋ ay te, boro kulu mana kay ay se, amma i kulu n'ay naŋ ay hinne. Irikoy ma si woodin lasaabu i se.
17But the Lord stood with [me], and gave me power, that through me the proclamation might be fully made, and all [those of] the nations should hear; and I was delivered out of the lion's mouth.
17 Amma Rabbi kay ay se. A n'ay gaabandi mo, hal ay na Baaru Hanna waazuyaŋo te, dumi* cindey kulu mo maa. Irikoy n'ay faaba mo muusu beero meyo gaa.
18The Lord shall deliver me from every wicked work, and shall preserve [me] for his heavenly kingdom; to whom [be] glory for the ages of ages. Amen.
18 Rabbi g'ay faaba ka kaa hari laalo kulu kambe. A g'ay faaba mo ka kond'ay nga beene koytara ra. Darza ma bara a gaa hal abada abadin! Amin.
19Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the house of Onesiphorus.
19 Ma Birisila nda Akila fo, da Onisifaros windo borey.
20Erastus remained in Corinth, but Trophimus I left behind in Miletus sick.
20 Arastos goro Korint, amma ay na Turofimos naŋ Militos kwaara, zama a go ga jante.
21Use diligence to come before winter. Eubulus salutes thee, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and the brethren all.
21 Ma te ni hina ka kaa za jawo mana to. Obulos goono ga ni fo, da Budens da Linos da Kalawdiya nda nya-izey kulu.
22The Lord Jesus Christ [be] with your spirit. Grace [be] with you.
22 Rabbi ma bara ni biya* banda. Gomni ma bara araŋ banda.
