< 2 Timothy 1 >

1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, according to the promise of the life in Christ Jesus,
Lokwalo lo lo tswang kwa go: Paulo, mo rongwa wa ga Jesu Keresete, yo o rometsweng ke Modimo go ya go bolelela banna le basadi gongwe le gongwe kaga botshelo jo bo sa khutleng jo o ba bo solofeditseng ka tumelo mo go Jesu Keresete.
2 to Timothy, a beloved child: Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
Lo ya kwa go: Timotheo, morwaake yo o rategang. A Modimo Rara le Keresete Jesu Morena wa rona o go nosetse bopelonomi jwa one, kutlwelo-botlhoko le kagiso.
3 I have gratitude to God whom I serve from the forefathers in a pure conscience, as I have unceasing remembrance about thee in my supplications, night and day
Ke leboga Modimo jang ka wena, Timotheo. Ke go rapelela malatsi otlhe, le ka nako tsotlhe mo masigong a maleele ke kopa Modimo wa me go go segofatsa mo go menaganyeng. Ke Modimo wa borre, le wa me, mme maikaelelo a me fela mo botshelong ke go o itumedisa.
4 longing to see thee, having remembered thy tears, so that I may be filled with joy,
Ke tlhwaafaletse thata go go bona gape. Kana ke ka itumela thatajang, gonne ke gakologelwa selelo sa gago fa re kgaogana.
5 taking memory of the non-hypocritical faith in thee, which first dwelt in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice, and I am persuaded that is in thee also.
Ke itse gore o ikanya Morena go le kae, fela jaaka mmago Yunise le mmago-mogolo Loise ba mo ikanya; ebile ke tlhomamisa gore o santse o mo ikanya thata fela jaaka gale.
6 Because of which reason I remind thee to rekindle the gift of God that is in thee through the laying on of my hands.
Ka ntlha ya moo, ke batla go go gakolola gore o tlhotlheletse nonofo le bopelokgale jo bo mo teng ga gago, jo bo tsenyeng mo go wena ka nako e ke neng ke go baya diatla ka yone ke go segofatsa.
7 For God did not give us a spirit of cowardice, but of power, and of love, and of soberness.
Gonne Mowa O O Boitshepo, neo ya Modimo, ga o rate gore wena o tshabe batho, mme e leng go nna botlhale le nonofo, le go ba rata le go itumelela go nna le bone.
8 Be not ashamed therefore of the testimony of our Lord nor of me his prisoner, but suffer together with the good news according to the power of God.
Fa o ka tlhotlheletsa nonofo e e mo teng ga gago ga o kitla o boifa go bolelela ba bangwe ka Morena, wa rona, Kgotsa go ba itsise gore ke tsala ya gago le fa ke le mo kgolegelong fano ka ntlha ya ga Keresete. O tlaa ipaakanyetsa go boga le nna ka ntlha ya Morena, gonne o tlaa go nonotsha mo dipogisong.
9 Who saved us and who 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 times eternal. (aiōnios g166)
Ke ene yo o re bolokileng le yo o re tlhophetseng tiro ya gagwe e e boitshepo, e seng ka ntlha ya gore e re tshwanetse mme e le ka ntlha ya gore e ne e le leano la One la bogologolo pele ga lefatshe le simologa, go supa lorato lwa One mo go rona le bopelotlhomogi ka Jesu Keresete. (aiōnios g166)
10 But which has now been manifested by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who indeed abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light through the good news,
Mme jaanong o dirile mo gotlhe gore go bonale mo go rona sentle ka go tla ga Mmoloki wa rona Jesu Keresete, yo o robileng nonofo ya loso a bo a re bontsha tsela ya botshelo jo bo safeleng ka go mo ikanya.
11 for which I was appointed a herald, and an apostle, and a teacher of Gentiles.
Mme Modimo o ntlhophile go nna morongwa wa one, go rerela Badichaba le go ba ruta.
12 Because of which reason I also suffer these things. But I am not ashamed, for I know him whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to preserve my consignment for that day.
Ke ka moo ke bogang fano mo kgolegelong ebile ga go ntlhabise ditlhong, gonne ke itse yo ke mo ikanyang, ebile ke tlhomamisa gore o nonofile go tlhokomela tsotlhe tse ke di mo neileng go fitlhelela letsatsi la go bowa ga gagwe.
13 Hold the pattern of sound words that thou heard from me, in faith and love in Christ Jesus.
Tshegetsa thata sekao sa boammaaruri jo ke go bo rutileng, segolo thata jang tumelo le lorato lo Keresete Jesu a lo go neileng.
14 Guard the good consignment through the Holy Spirit that dwells in us.
Tlhokomela thata, nonofo e o e amogetseng mo Modimong e le mpho e e tswang mo Moweng o o Boitshepo o o nnang mo teng ga gago.
15 This thou know, that all those in Asia turned away from me, of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.
Jaaka o itse, Bakeresete botlhe ba ba tsileng mono ba tswa kwa Asia ba mphatlalaletse; le e leng Fugalo le Hegemogenese tota ba tsamaile.
16 May the Lord grant mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, because he often refreshed me and was not ashamed of my chain.
A Morena a segofatse Onisiforo le botlhe ba ntlo ya gagwe, ka gore o ne a nketela a bo a nkgothatsa gantsi. Go nketela ga gagwe go ne ga ntsoseletsa jaaka mowa wa phefo e e monate, ebile go nna ga me mo kgolegelong ga go ise go mo tlhabise ditlhong.
17 But when he happened to be in Rome he sought me more diligently and found me
Le gone erile a tla mo Roma o mpatlile gongwe le gongwe, a leka go bona kwa ke teng, mme la bofelo a mpona.
18 (may the Lord grant him to find mercy from the Lord in that day), and in how many things he ministered at Ephesus, thou know very well.
A Modimo o mo nee lesego le le faphegileng motlhang Keresete a bowang. Ebile o itse botoka go na le jaaka ke ka go bolelela ka fa o nthusitseng ka teng kwa Efeso.
