< 2 Timothy 1 >

1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, according to the promise of life, which is in Christ Jesus,
Njame, Paulo mutumwa wa Klistu Yesu kwelana ne kuyanda kwa Lesa, walatumwa kuya kukambauka sha buyumi mbwalatushomesha mukwikatana ne Klistu Yesu.
2 to Timothy my beloved son; grace, mercy, and peace from God our Father, and Christ Jesus our Lord.
Ndalembelenga obe Timoti mwaname ngonsuni. ndasengengeti luse, nkumbo kayi ne lumuno lwa Lesa Bata ne Klistu Yesu Mwami wetu, bibe pali njobe.
3 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,
Ndalumbunga Lesa ngondasebenselenga ne miyeyo yaswepa yabula mbuli bamashali bakame bakulukulu ncebalikwinsa. Ndalumbunga pakwinga nkandakulubunga mu mipailo yakame munshi ne mashiku sobwe.
4 greatly desiring to see you, being mindful of your tears, that I may be filled with joy;
Ndanuka ncewalikulila misoshi, nkute kuyanda kwisa kukubona kwambeti nkakondwe ca makasa abili.
5 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.
Ndanuka lushomo lwa ncinencine ndobakute banyoko ba Yunisi ne bankambuyobe batukashi ba Loisi, ndashometi nenjobe elushomo ndokute.
6 Wherefore I exhort you to kindle up the gift of God that is in you by the laying on of my hands.
Neco ndakwanushungeti usheko mano kucipo ca Lesa ncokute ico ncewalatambula pasa mpondalabika makasa akame pali njobe ucisosele mulilo.
7 For God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
Pakwinga Lesa liya kutupa Mushimu wa buyowa sobwe, Mushimu wa Lesa ukute kutupa ngofu, nelusuno kwambeti tucikonshenga kulitibuka.
8 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,
Neco kotanyumfwanga nsoni kuba kamboni wa Mwami Yesu, nambi kunyumfwa nsoni cebo ca kwambeti ame ndasungwa muno mu jele, obe libambile kucana mapensho, nomba Lesa nakakupe ngofu shakukambauka Mulumbe Waina.
9 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)
Walatupulusha ne kutukuwa kwambeti tube bantu bakendi, nkatwalikuba twelela kucitambula, nsombi bwalikuba bubambo ne nkumbo sha Lesa. nkumbo nshalatulesha kupitila mukwikatana ne Klistu Yesu kacitana cilengwa cindi. (aiōnios g166)
10 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;
Lino Lesa walatuyubulwila ibi bintu mpwalaboneka Mupulushi wetu Klistu Yesu, nendi ewalapwisha ngofu sha lufu kupitila mu Mulumbe Waina, latwishibishi cena motwela kucanina buyumi butafu.
11 to which I have been appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles;
Lesa walansala kwambeti mbe mukambaushi, mutumwa kayi shikwiyisha Mulumbe Waina.
12 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.
Encondapengelenga, ndiya nsoni pakwinga ndimwishi ngondashoma. Neco ndashometi wela kutabilisha cena bintu mbyabika mumakasa akame mpaka busuba bwashakabwele.
13 Hold fast the form of sound words which you have heard from me, in faithfulness and in love which is in Christ Jesus.
Lino ikatisha camakasa abili maswi acancine ncine ngondalakwiyisha kwambeti, lushomo ne lusuno lwetu mukwikatana ne Klistu Yesu bibe cilesho kwakobe ca kukonkela.
14 That good thing which was intrusted to you, keep by the Holy Spirit that dwells in us.
Kupitila muMushimu Uswepa ngotukute, ukunyamfwe kubamba cena buboni bwa palubasu mbowalapewa.
15 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.
Ucishi kwambeti bonse mu cimpansha ca Asiya balanshiya ndenka, pali abo balanshiya pali Figelo ne Hemojene.
16 May the Lord give mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain:
Nkumbo sha Lesa shibe mung'anda ya Onesifolo, pakwinga ewalikwisa kunjuminisha tunkanda twingi, kayi nkali kunyumfwa nsoni pakumbona kandi ndasungwa nshimbi mu jele.
17 but when he was in Rome, he sought for me very diligently, and found me.
Mpwalesa ku Loma walanangaula mpaka walancana.
18 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.
Nkumbo sha Lesa shikabe pali Onesifolo pa busuba bwa lombolosho. Obe ucishi kufula kwa ncito shaina nshalikunyamfwa mpondalikuba ku Efenso.
