1I command you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at 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:
2preach the word; be urgent in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with all patience and teaching.
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 will come when they will not listen to the sound doctrine, but, having itching ears, will heap up for themselves teachers after their own lusts;
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 will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn aside to fables.
4 I ga ngey hangey kaa cimi gaa ka kamba ka koy jandey gaa.
5But you be sober in all things, suffer hardship, do the work of an evangelist, and fulfill your 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 offered, and the time of my departure has come.
6 Zama za sohõ ay ciya haŋyaŋ sargay kaŋ i ga soogu. Ay koyyaŋo alwaato mo to.
7I have fought the good fight. I have finished the course. 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.
8From now on, there is stored up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give to me on that day; and not to me only, but also to all those who have loved 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.
9Be diligent to come to me soon,
9 Ma waasu ka kaa ay do, ma si gay bo.
10for Demas left me, having loved this present world, and went to Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, and 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.
11Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with you, for he is useful to me for service.
11 Luka hinne no go ay banda. Ma Markos kabay ni banda, zama a gonda albarka ay se goyo ra.
12But I sent Tychicus to Ephesus.
12 Amma ay na Ticikos donton Afasos.
13Bring the cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus when you come, 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 coppersmith, did much evil to me. The Lord will repay him according to his works,
14 Iskandari, guuru-ciray zamo, na hari laalo boobo te ay se. Rabbi g'a bana a goyo boŋ.
15of whom you also must beware; for he greatly opposed our words.
15 Ni ma haggoy d'a mo fa, zama a murte iri sanney gaa gumo.
16At my first defense, no one came to help me, but all left me. May it not be held against 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 by me, and strengthened me, that through me the message might be fully proclaimed, and that all the Gentiles might hear; and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.
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.
18And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me for his heavenly Kingdom; to whom be the glory forever and ever. 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.
19Greet Prisca and Aquila, and the house of Onesiphorus.
19 Ma Birisila nda Akila fo, da Onisifaros windo borey.
20Erastus remained at Corinth, but I left Trophimus at Miletus sick.
20 Arastos goro Korint, amma ay na Turofimos naŋ Militos kwaara, zama a go ga jante.
21Be diligent to come before winter. Eubulus salutes you, as do Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brothers.
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. Amen.
22 Rabbi ma bara ni biya* banda. Gomni ma bara araŋ banda.
