2 Timotawus 1

1 Shawul ndi u toh ndu Kristi ni kpa yeim Rji ni chu yu'u u dri wa ahei ni Kristi Yesu.

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, according to the promise of life, which is in Christ Jesus,

2 Timotawus vre u' son. Alheri jinkai sunsi rji ni Rji Timbu Kristi yesu Bachi bu

to Timothy my beloved son; grace, mercy, and peace from God our Father, and Christ Jesus our Lord.

3 Mi grie ni Rji wa mi si hu'a rji ni ba ti mu bi sen ni mere didima na misi ri mere me ni mi bre mu ni chu ni rji.

I thank God, whom I serve with a pure conscience, after the custom of my forefathers, that, without ceasing, I have remembrance of you in my prayers night and day,

4 Naki me ta ri mere me nimah shishi me'a, me ka you suron na mi toh u' du suron mu si.

greatly desiring to see you, being mindful of your tears, that I may be filled with joy;

5 Ba time rah ni gbengbenlan suron 'u' didima wa ahei ni mi yin me niko Lois ha iyi me Afiniki, me kpayeim da ahei ni wu ngame naki.

for I remember the unfeigned faith that is in you, which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois, and in your mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that it dwells in you also.

6 Ni tu kima me si hla 'u' du sur lu ni. Rji wa ahe ni wu, ni ton wa ki sa wohmbu ni wu tu'a.

Wherefore I exhort you to kindle up the gift of God that is in you by the laying on of my hands.

7 Irji na nota ruhu u ti sisir na; ama ahi u gbengblen ni son ni tsautawa.

For God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

8 Na klu shan njo tre Bachi mbu na, ko ni me shawulu ni brusuna. zo me ki ti yah nitu tre ni gbengblen Rji.

Be not, therefore, ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me, his prisoner: but jointly suffer evil in the gospel according to the power of God,

9 Ahi Rji wawu'i kpata chuwo, da you ta ni Tsatsraka yo. A ti wa i' ana don idu bu na, ama ahi shirima mba alheri ma. A nota kpie bi yi ni Kristi Yesu riko u ton ka ye. (aiōnios g166)

who has saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the times of the ages, (aiōnios g166)

10 Naki zizan ceto Rji a shile ye Almasihu Kristi Yesu, Ahi Kristi a wawu'i aye kle ni que nda ji dri wa ana kle ni kpah ni tre'a na.

but is now made manifest by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has deprived death of its power, and brought life and incorruptibility to light through the gospel;

11 Nakima, i baka chu me ti ndi 'u' hla tre'a ni ndi 'u' ton ndu, ni ndi u' tsro ba lftlft, ikpie bi didima ni 'u' bi sen Greek ba han. ifqa ni al'ummai. ifqa ifqa.

to which I have been appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles;

12 Naki ma i me mi si tiyah ni kpie bi yi, ama ishan na ti me na, don mitoh wa mi kpayiem ni wu di wur shaka hle di ni ya zi kpi'a di mi nu, du, zi ni mu harmi ivri mu'a.

for which cause I also suffer these things; yet I am not ashamed: for I know in whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have intrusted to him till that day.

13 Zi misali koyeswa dindin wa 'u' woh ni me, ni gbengblen ni son wa ba hei ni mi kristi yesu.

Hold fast the form of sound words which you have heard from me, in faithfulness and in love which is in Christ Jesus.

14 Ikpie dindi wa Rji ka han ni wu, gben ni irji tsratsra wa ahei ni ta

That good thing which was intrusted to you, keep by the Holy Spirit that dwells in us.

15 Wu toh wai bi wa ba son ni Asia ba hi kpanmba da ka me don ni mimbo akini fijalas mba harmajanas.

You know this, that all those who are in Asia have turned away from me; all those, I say, of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.

16 Du Bachi no koh Onisiforus jinkai don chachu'u ani zo me, ana ta klu shan ni sarka wa ba loh me ni'u na.

May the Lord give mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain:

17 Ni wa ahei ni Roman, awa me sren shishi ri da toh me.

but when he was in Rome, he sought for me very diligently, and found me.

18 Du Bachi no 'u' jinkai nda ka zou ni vi kima. ko ani tan a si zo me ni Afisa, wu me u toh sosai.

The Lord grant to him, that he may find mercy from the Lord in that day. And in how many things he ministered to me in Ephesus, you know very well.
