2 Timothy 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, according to the promise of life in Christ Jesus,
Pawulo, mutumwa wa Kkilisito Jesu mukwiinda mu luyando lwaLeza, mukwiinda mu chisyomezyo cha buumi buli muli Kkilisito Jesu,
2 To Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
kuli Timoti, mwana muyandwi: Luzyalo, lweetelelo a luumuno kuzwa kuli Leza Taata aKkilisito Jesu Mwaami wesu.
3 I thank God, whom I serve with a clear conscience as did my forefathers, as I constantly remember you night and day in my prayers.
Ndilumba Leza, ngwekomba kuzwa kuli bamataata, amoyo uutakwe kampenda, mbuli mbemuyeya munkombyo zyangu mansiku a sikati.
4 Recalling your tears, I long to see you so that I may be filled with joy.
Mbuli mbendiyeya misozi yako, ndiyandisya kukubona, kuti ndizule alukondo.
5 I am reminded of your sincere faith, which first dwelt in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am convinced is in you as well.
Ndali kuyeezegwa alusyomo lwako lwinilwini, oolo lwakali muli banyookulu Loyisi anbanyoko Yunisi, alimwi ndili aakasimpe kuti lulakkala mulinduwe ayebo.
6 For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands.
Nkenkaako nkendakuyeezezya kuti ubukulusye chipo chaLeza chili mulinduwe chakaba kandikubika maboko.
7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.
Nkaambo Leza taakatupa muuya wabuyoofu, pesi wamanguzu a luyando akulibamba.
8 So do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, or of me, His prisoner. Instead, join me in suffering for the gospel by the power of God.
Aboobo utabi eensoni abukamboni bwa Mwaami wesu, na lwangu, Pawulo, mwaange wakwe. Nikuba boobo abila mumachise kuchitila makani mabotu mukwiindila munguzu zyaLeza.
9 He has saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works, but by His own purpose and by the grace He granted us in Christ Jesus before time began. (aiōnios g166)
Ngu Leza wakakufutula alimwi wakatwiita alwiito lusalala. Wakachita eezi, kutali kumilimu yesu, pesi mukwiindilila mumakanze aakwe aluzyalo. Wakatupa zintu zyoonse eezi muli Kkilisito Jesu zintu zyoonse nkazitanabawo. (aiōnios g166)
10 And now He has revealed this grace through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has abolished death and illuminated the way to life and immortality through the gospel,
Pesi lino lufutuko lwaLeza lwakayubununwa mukulibonia kwaMufutuli wesu Kkilisito Jesu. NguKkilisito wakamaninsya lufu akweeta buumi butamani kumunika kwiindila mumakani mabotu.
11 to which I was appointed as a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher.
Nkaambo kacheechi, nchindakasalwa kuba mukambawusi, mutumwa, alimwi muyiisi.
12 For this reason, even though I suffer as I do, I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed, and I am convinced that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him for that day.
Akaambo kacheechi ndilafwabila eezi zintu. Pesi nsifwi bweeme, nkaambo ndilizi ooyo ngwesyoma. Ndili aakasimpe kuti ulakonzya kubamba eezyo nzindakamupa kusikila eelyo zuba.
13 Hold on to the pattern of sound teaching you have heard from me, with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.
Bamba chitondeezyo chamajwi aamvwika aayo nguwakamvwa kulindime, alusyomo aluyando eezyo zili muli Kkilisito Jesu.
14 Guard the treasure entrusted to you, with the help of the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.
Zintu zibotu Leza nzyaakakupa, zibambe mukwiinda mu Muuya Uusalala, uukkala mulindiswe.
15 You know that everyone in the Province of Asia has deserted me, including Phygelus and Hermogenes.
Ulichizi eechi, kuti boonse bakkala kuAsiya bakandipapila. Mukabunga aaka muli Figelasi a Hemojinisi.
16 May the Lord grant mercy to the household of Onesiphorus, because he has often refreshed me and was unashamed of my chains.
Mwaami ngape luzyalo kun'anda ya Onesifolasi, nkaambo wakali kundibukulusya alimwi taakaba aamawuse aakwaangwa kwangu.
17 Indeed, when he arrived in Rome, he searched diligently until he found me.
Nikubaboobo, nakali kuLoma, wakandiyanduula chabusungu, alimwi wakandijana.
18 May the Lord grant Onesiphorus His mercy on that day. You know very well how much he ministered to me in Ephesus.
Mwaami amujanie luzyalo kulinguwe muli eelyo zuba. Nzila zyoonse nzyakandigwasya mu Efeso, ulizi kabotu.
