¹Bona nu'inca, hi eo-eo to tumai, susa' katuwu' -ta hi dunia' toi, apa' dada'a lia gau' manusia'.

¹But this know, that in [the] last days difficult times shall be there;

²Apa' wori' mpai' tauna to mpoka'ahi' woto-ra moto-wadi, doko' jadi' topo'ua', mpope'une', molangko nono, pai' mporuge' doo-ra. Uma-ra mengkoru hi totu'a-ra, uma ra'incai motarima kasi, uma-ra mposaile' Alata'ala,

²for men shall be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, evil speakers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, profane,

³uma-ra ma'ahi', pai' uma-ra dota hintuwu'. Ntora mpotuntui' doo-ra-wadi, uma-ra mpokuasai kahinaa woto-ra moto, seke-ra, pai' -ra mpokahuku' to lompe'.

³without natural affection, implacable, slanderers, of unsubdued passions, savage, having no love for what is good,

⁴Mpopanawu' doo-ra, mekahia' -ra pai' rika' pekiri-ra, mpopeliu kapantea-ra. Uma-ra mpotuku' konoa Alata'ala, mpotuku' kagoea' -ra-wadi.

⁴traitors, headlong, of vain pretensions, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God;

⁵Ane gau' to rahilo doo, mpotuku' moto-ra ada agama hewa tauna to mengkoru hi Alata'ala. Tapi' kuasa Alata'ala to ma'ala mpobalii' nono-ra, rasapuaka lau-wadi-rana. Neo' nuposigalo-raka tauna to hewa toe gau' -ra.

⁵having a form of piety but denying the power of it: and from these turn away.

⁶Ria-ra hantongo' to mpokeni tudui' -ra to uma makono hi tomi doo, pai' -ra mpobagiu tobine to lente pepangala' -ra bona tobine toera mpopangala' tudui' -ra. Tobine toera, wori' lia jeko' -ra, pai' wori' nyala kahinaa nono-ra to mpokuasai-ra.

⁶For of these are they who are getting into houses, and leading captive silly women, laden with sins, led by various lusts,

⁷Doko' mpo'epe tudui' ncuu-ra, aga uma oa' monoto nono-ra mpo'inca tudui' to makono.

⁷always learning, and never able to come to [the] knowledge of [the] truth.

⁸Guru to boa' toera, bengku' pekiri-ra pai' boa' pepangala' -ra, alaa-na Alata'ala mpotulaka-ra. Mpo'ewa-ra tudui' to makono, hewa Yanes pai' Yambres mpo'ewa nabi Musa owi.

⁸Now in the same manner in which Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, thus these also withstand the truth; men corrupted in mind, found worthless as regards the faith.

⁹Yanes pai' Yambres toera, topobago-na Firaun to mpo'ewa nabi Musa hante pake' -ra. Aga uma-ra hompe mpo'ewa baraka' Pue' Ala to ria hi nabi Musa. Wae wo'o mpai' to jadi' hi guru to boa' tempo toi. Uma-ra mpai' hompe mpo'ewa tudui' to makono, apa' kawojoa-ra bate incana mpai' hi hawe'ea tauna.

⁹But they shall not advance farther; for their folly shall be completely manifest to all, as that of those also became.

¹⁰Aga iko Timotius, apa' mahae-moko mpo'ema' -a, nu'inca lia-mi tudui' -ku pai' kehi-ku pai' patuju tuwu' -ku. Nuhilo moto-mi pepangala' -ku, kamosabara-ku pai' ahi' -ku, pai' kantaha-ku hi rala kasusaa'.

¹⁰But *thou* hast been thoroughly acquainted with my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, endurance,

¹¹Nuhilo moto kakupengkatarii-na pebalinai' pai' kasusaa' to mporumpa' -a hi ngata Antiokhia, hi Ikonium pai' hi Listra. Uma mowo pebalinai' toe! Aga Pue' mpobahaka-a ngkai hawe'ea toe lau.

¹¹persecutions, sufferings: what [sufferings] happened to me in Antioch, in Iconium, in Lystra; what persecutions I endured; and the Lord delivered me out of all.

¹²Bate toe-midi! Hawe'ea tauna to mpotuku' Kristus Yesus pai' to doko' mengkoru hi Alata'ala bate rabalinai'.

¹²And all indeed who desire to live piously in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.

¹³Tapi' tauna to dada'a pai' topebagiu, tampai lau-mi kadada'a kehi-ra. Mpobagiu-ra doo hante tudui' -ra to boa', ntaa' hante hira' wo'o-midi-rawo to tebagiu-e.

¹³But wicked men and juggling impostors shall advance in evil, leading and being led astray.

¹⁴Aga iko Timotius, kana tida-ko ngkakamu tudui' to oti-mi ratudui' -koko pai' to nupangala' mpu'u-mi. Nu'inca kamakono-na tudui' toe, apa' nu'inca kahema-ra to mpotudui' -ko.

¹⁴But *thou*, abide in those things which thou hast learned, and [of which] thou hast been fully persuaded, knowing of whom thou hast learned [them];

¹⁵Ngkai kakedia' -nu nu'inca-mi ihi' Buku Tomoroli'. Buku Tomoroli' toe to ma'ala mponotohi nono-ta duu' -na mepangala' -ta hi Kristus Yesus pai' -ta tehore ngkai huku' jeko' -ta.

¹⁵and that from a child thou hast known the sacred letters, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation, through faith which [is] in Christ Jesus.

¹⁶Hawe'ea to te'uki' hi rala Buku Tomoroli', ra'uki' hante noto ngkai Alata'ala, pai' ria kalaua-na hi kita'. Hante Buku Tomoroli' kita' ma'ala mpoparata tudui' to makono, mpo'ewa tudui' to sala', mpokolompehii kehi to dada'a, pai' mpotudui' tauna bona monoa' po'ingku-ra.

¹⁶Every scripture [is] divinely inspired, and profitable for teaching, for conviction, for correction, for instruction in righteousness;

¹⁷Hante Buku Tomoroli', kita' to jadi' topobago Alata'ala rarewai hono', apa' Buku Tomoroli' toe tahenta mpobago butu nyala pobago to lompe'.

¹⁷that the man of God may be complete, fully fitted to every good work.
