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 the 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, peace, from God the 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 from my forefathers with a pure conscience, that I keep up a constant remembrance of thee 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.

earnestly desiring to see thee, remembering thy tears, that I might 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.

recalling to my memory the unfeigned faith which was in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and in thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that it is in thee 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.

For which cause I remind thee that thou fan into a flame the divine gift, which is in thee by the imposition of my hands.

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

For God hath not given us a spirit of fear; but of courage, and of love, and of sobriety.

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 thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but suffer affliction with me in the gospel, supported by 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 hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before time had a beginning; (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 Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and brought to light life and immortality by 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.

whereunto I am 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 also I suffer these things; but I am not ashamed: for I know on whom I have placed my confidence, and am persuaded that he is mighty to guard my deposit unto the great day.

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

Model thy teaching according to the pattern of the sound discourses, which thou hast heard from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

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

The glorious deposit committed to thy trust, guard by the Holy Ghost who dwelleth 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.

Knowest thou this, that all those of Asia have deserted me? among 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.

The Lord grant mercy unto the household of Onesiphorus because he frequently was a refreshment to my soul, 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 at Rome, he sought me out 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 that he may find mercy with the Lord in the great day; and how liberally he ministered to me at Ephesus, thou knowest better than any other person.
