Ennaku ez’Oluvannyuma

(A)Naye tegeera kino nga mu nnaku ez’oluvannyuma walibaawo ebiseera ebizibu. (B)Kubanga abantu baliba nga beefaako bokka, nga balulunkanira ensimbi, nga beepanka, nga beekuluntaza, nga boogera ebibi, era nga tebawulira bazadde baabwe, nga tebeebaza, nga tebatya Katonda, nga tebaagalana era nga tebatabagana, nga bawaayiriza, nga tebeegendereza, nga bakambwe, nga tebaagala birungi, (C)nga ba nkwe, nga baagala eby’amasanyu okusinga bwe baagala Katonda; nga balina ekifaananyi eky’okutya Katonda so nga tebakkiriza maanyi gaakyo. Abantu ab’engeri eyo obeewalanga.

(D)Mu abo mulimu abasensera mu mayumba ne bawamba abakazi abanafu mu mwoyo abazitoowereddwa ebibi, era abawalulwa okwegomba okubi okwa buli ngeri, abayiga bulijjo, kyokka ne batatuuka ku kutegeerera ddala amazima, (E)nga Yane ne Yambere abaawakanya Musa, ne bano bwe batyo bawakanya amazima. Be bantu abaayonooneka ebirowoozo, abatakyalina kukkiriza kutuufu. (F)Kyokka tebaliiko gye balaga, kubanga obusirusiru bwabwe bujja kumanyibwa abantu bonna, ng’obwa abasajja abo bwe bwamanyibwa.

10 (G)Naye ggwe wagoberera nnyo okuyigiriza kwange, n’empisa zange, ne kye nduubirira, n’okukkiriza kwange n’okubonaabona kwange n’okwagala kwange, n’okugumiikiriza kwange, 11 (H)n’okuyigganyizibwa n’okubonyaabonyezebwa ebyantukako mu Antiyokiya, ne mu Ikoniya ne mu Lisitula, okuyigganyizibwa kwe nayigganyizibwa, kyokka Mukama n’amponya mu byonna. 12 (I)Era bonna abaagala okuba mu bulamu obutya Katonda mu Kristo Yesu, banaayigganyizibwanga. 13 (J)Naye abakozi b’ebibi n’abalimba abeefuula okuba ekyo kye batali balyeyongera okuba ababi, ne babuzaabuza abalala, era nabo ne babula. 14 (K)Kyokka ggwe nywereranga mu ebyo bye wayiga era n’obikkiririza ddala, ng’omanyi abaabikuyigiriza bwe bali. 15 (L)Kubanga okuva mu buto bwo wamanya Ebyawandiikibwa Ebitukuvu ebiyinza okukufuula ow’amagezi, n’olokolebwa olw’okukkiriza Kristo Yesu. 16 (M)Ebyawandiikibwa Ebitukuvu byonna, Katonda ye yabiruŋŋamya nga biwandiikibwa, era bigasa mu kuyigiriza, mu kunenya, mu kuluŋŋamya ne mu kubuuliranga omuntu abe omutuukirivu, 17 (N)omuntu wa Katonda alyoke abe ng’atuukiridde, ng’alina byonna ebyetaagibwa okukola buli mulimu omulungi.

But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days.(A) People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money,(B) boastful, proud,(C) abusive,(D) disobedient to their parents,(E) ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous,(F) rash, conceited,(G) lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— having a form of godliness(H) but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.(I)

They are the kind who worm their way(J) into homes and gain control over gullible women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires, always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth.(K) Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses,(L) so also these teachers oppose(M) the truth. They are men of depraved minds,(N) who, as far as the faith is concerned, are rejected. But they will not get very far because, as in the case of those men,(O) their folly will be clear to everyone.

A Final Charge to Timothy

10 You, however, know all about my teaching,(P) my way of life, my purpose, faith, patience, love, endurance, 11 persecutions, sufferings—what kinds of things happened to me in Antioch,(Q) Iconium(R) and Lystra,(S) the persecutions I endured.(T) Yet the Lord rescued(U) me from all of them.(V) 12 In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted,(W) 13 while evildoers and impostors will go from bad to worse,(X) deceiving and being deceived.(Y) 14 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it,(Z) 15 and how from infancy(AA) you have known the Holy Scriptures,(AB) which are able to make you wise(AC) for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16 All Scripture is God-breathed(AD) and is useful for teaching,(AE) rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,(AF) 17 so that the servant of God[a](AG) may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.(AH)
