(Da Census 23:19; 16:5)

1 Eh, Timoty my boy! You gotta be strong inside, you know! You stay tight wit da Spesho Guy God Wen Send, Jesus Christ, an he stay do good tings fo you, so you can come strong inside.

2 You wen hear plenny kine stuffs from me, an had plenny odda peopo dea too, dat wen hear everyting I tell you. Now, you gotta go find peopo dat you can trus, an den, put dem in charge a all dat stuff. I mean, pick peopo dat can teach odda peopo da same tings I wen teach you.

3 You gotta suffa any kine bad kine stuff, jalike all us guys, cuz you jalike one army guy fo Jesus Christ, an you really like do good job lidat.

4 Anybody in da army, dey no do all da regula kine stuff da odda guys do dat not army guys. Da army guys, dey ony do wat dea army leada guy tell um fo do, fo make him stay good inside.

5 Same ting, jalike if one guy like win one race, he no can win if he no do wat da rules say.
6 An one mo ting, da farma guy dat do all da hard work, he da guy dat suppose to get his share first.

7 Tink hard bout wat I telling you. Cuz da Boss, he goin make shua you undastan everyting I say.
8 So tink plenny bout Jesus, da Spesho Guy God Wen Send. He da One dat wen come from King David ohana. God wen make him come back alive, afta he wen mahke. An dass da Good Kine Stuff From God dat I stay telling everybody. 9 Wen I tell peopo dis, dey make me suffa. Sometimes dey even tie me up wit chains jalike I one crook. But you know wat? No can tie up da stuff God say wit one chain! 10 Dass why I stay hanging in dea wen dey do any kine to me -- cuz I like help da peopo God wen pick. If I do dat, den dey goin come tight wit Jesus Christ, an God goin take um outa da bad kine stuff dey stay in, an he goin make um come awesome jalike him foeva.

11 You can trus me wen I tell you dis:
“If us guys mahke wit Christ,
We goin live to da max wit him.

12 An if us guys hang in dea,
We goin come kings wit Christ da King.
But if we say, ‘We donno Christ!’
Den he goin say, ‘I donno dem guys!’

13 Even if us guys give up wen God stay trus us,
God, he everytime goin do wat he say.
He no goin ack like he not God.”

Da Worka Guy Dat Do Good Job

18 Dem guys wen go away from da true stuff. Dey say, “Da mahke guys, dey wen come back alive awready.” Dey mess up some peopo, an den dose peopo no like trus God no moa.

19 But you know wat? Da stuff God stay doing stay solid, jalike one building dat get solid foundation undaneat an no can move, yeah? An on top dat foundation, get one sign dat say two tings. One side say,
“Da Boss, he know all his peopo.”
An da odda side say,
“Anybody who say, ‘I da Bossʼs guy,’
Dey gotta stop doing everyting dat no stay right.”
20 You know, inside one big house, get all kine bowls an plates. Some, dey make um wit gold an silva fo spesho time. Get some odda bowls an plates, dey make um wit wood an clay fo use um fo junk kine stuff.

21 So, dass jalike if anybody go clean up da pilau kine stuff inside dea heart, dey goin come jalike da spesho kine bowls an plates -- dey goin be spesho fo God. Da Boss can use um, an dey stay ready fo go do any good kine stuff fo him.
22 Eh Timoty! Watch out! No be like da younga guys, da way dey jam up cuz dey like do any kine stuff. Mo betta, you go all out fo do da right ting everytime, fo trus God, fo get love an aloha, an fo let yoa heart rest inside. All da peopo dat tell God dey his guys, an get clean heart inside, dey like do da right ting everytime -- so you gotta make jalike dem.

23 But no get mix up wit all da kine stupid talk from da guys dat donno notting. Dey ony like make argue bout everyting. You gotta figga, if you talk lidat, den you goin stay make argue everytime.
24 But wen one guy work fo da Boss, he not suppose to like make argue, you know. He suppose to be friends wit everybody, an be one good teacha, an no stay huhu at da odda peopo. 25 Wen peopo talk agains him, he gotta teach um da true stuff, but do um nice. Den God can make dem change dea mind, an make dem so dey can know da trut. 26 Den dey can come smart an get outa da trap dey stay in, cuz da Devil wen catch um an make um do wat he like um fo do.

2 Timothy 2

1 Thou therefore, my child, be strengthened in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.2 And the things which thou hast heard from me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.3 Suffer hardship with me, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.4 No soldier on service entangleth himself in the affairs of this life; that he may please him who enrolled him as a soldier.5 And if also a man contend in the games, he is not crowned, except he have contended lawfully.6 The husbandmen that laboreth must be the first to partake of the fruits.7 Consider what I say; for the Lord shall give thee understanding in all things.8 Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, of the seed of David, according to my gospel:9 wherein I suffer hardship unto bonds, as a malefactor; but the word of God is not bound.10 Therefore I endure all things for the elect’s sake, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.11 Faithful is the saying: For if we died with him, we shall also live with him:12 if we endure, we shall also reign with him: if we shall deny him, he also will deny us:13 if we are faithless, he abideth faithful; for he cannot deny himself.14 Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them in the sight of the Lord, that they strive not about words, to no profit, to the subverting of them that hear.15 Give diligence to present thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, handling aright the word of truth.16 But shun profane babblings: for they will proceed further in ungodliness,17 and their word will eat as doth a gangrene: of whom is Hymenaeus an Philetus;18 men who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already, and overthrow the faith of some.19 Howbeit the firm foundation of God standeth, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his: and, Let every one that nameth the name of the Lord depart from unrighteousness.20 Now in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some unto honor, and some unto dishonor.21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honor, sanctified, meet for the master’s use, prepared unto every good work.22 after righteousness, faith, love, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.23 But foolish and ignorant questionings refuse, knowing that they gender strifes.24 And the Lord’s servant must not strive, but be gentle towards all, apt to teach, forbearing,25 in meekness correcting them that oppose themselves; if peradventure God may give them repentance unto the knowledge of the truth,26 and they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him unto his will.
