< 2 Timothy 1 >

1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, according to the promise of life in Christ Jesus,
Nĩ niĩ Paũlũ, mũtũmwo wa Kristũ Jesũ nĩ ũndũ wa kwenda kwa Ngai. Ndatũmirwo nĩ Ngai kũringana na kĩĩranĩro kĩa muoyo ũrĩa ũrĩ thĩinĩ wa Kristũ Jesũ,
2 To Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
Ndakwandĩkĩra wee Timotheo, o we mũrũ wakwa nyendete mũno: Wega, na tha, na thayũ kuuma kũrĩ Ngai Ithe witũ, na Kristũ Jesũ Mwathani witũ, irogĩa nawe.
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.
Nĩnjookagĩria Ngai ngaatho, ũrĩa niĩ ndungatagĩra ndĩ na thamiri ĩtarĩ na ũcuuke, o ta ũrĩa maithe makwa ma tene meekaga, o ngĩkũririkanaga hĩndĩ ciothe ũtukũ na mũthenya, mahooya-inĩ makwa itegũtigithĩria.
4 Recalling your tears, I long to see you so that I may be filled with joy.
Nĩndĩĩriragĩria mũno gũkuona, ndaririkana maithori maku, nĩgeetha njiyũrwo nĩ gĩkeno.
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.
Nĩndirikanĩtio ũhoro wa wĩtĩkio waku ũrĩa ũtarĩ ũhinga, o ta ũrĩa watũire na cũguo Loisi, na nyũkwa Eunike, na rĩu nĩnjĩtĩkĩtie atĩ wĩtĩkio ũcio ũrĩ o thĩinĩ waku.
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.
Nĩ ũndũ wa gĩtũmi gĩkĩ nĩngũkũririkania atĩ ũhuhagĩrĩrie kĩheo kĩrĩa ũheetwo nĩ Ngai, kĩrĩa wagĩire nakĩo rĩrĩa ndakũigĩrĩire moko.
7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.
Nĩgũkorwo Ngai ndaatũheire roho wa gũtwĩkagĩra guoya, no aatũheire roho wa gũtwĩkĩra hinya, na wa wendani, na wa ũũgĩ wa kwĩnyiita maũndũ-inĩ mothe.
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.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ndũkanaconoke ũkiumbũra ũira wa Mwathani witũ, kana ũconoke nĩ ũndũ wakwa niĩ njohetwo nĩ ũndũ wake. No nyiitanĩra na niĩ kũnyariirwo nĩ ũndũ wa Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega, nĩ ũndũ nĩũrĩheagwo hinya nĩ Ngai.
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)
Ngai nĩwe watũhonokirie na agĩtwĩtĩra mũtũũrĩre mũtheru, ti tondũ wa ũndũ twĩkĩte, no nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa aatanyĩte gwĩka na nĩ ũndũ wa wega wake. Twaheirwo wega ũyũ thĩinĩ wa Kristũ Jesũ mbere ya kĩambĩrĩria gĩa thĩ, (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,
no wega ũcio rĩu nĩũguũranĩirio nĩ ũndũ wa kuonekana kwa Mũhonokia witũ, Kristũ Jesũ, ũrĩa waniinire gĩkuũ, na akĩrehe muoyo o na ũhoro wa kwaga kũbutha akĩũiga ũtheri-inĩ nĩ ũndũ wa Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega.
11 to which I was appointed as a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher.
Na nĩ ũndũ wa Ũhoro-ũcio-Mwega-rĩ, nĩndamũrirwo nduĩke mũhunjia, na mũtũmwo, na mũrutani waguo.
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.
Ũhoro ũcio nĩguo ũtũmĩte nyamarĩke ũguo. No ndiconokaga, tondũ ũrĩa niĩ njĩtĩkĩtie nĩndĩmũũĩ, na ndĩ na ma atĩ arĩ na ũhoti wa kũgitĩra kĩrĩa ndĩmwĩhokeire o nginya rĩrĩa mũthenya ũcio ũgaakinya.
13 Hold on to the pattern of sound teaching you have heard from me, with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.
Rũmia ũhoro ũrĩa waiguire kuuma kũrĩ niĩ, ũrĩ kĩonereria kĩa ũrutani mwega, ũrĩ na wĩtĩkio na wendani thĩinĩ wa Kristũ Jesũ.
14 Guard the treasure entrusted to you, with the help of the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.
Menyerera ũndũ ũrĩa mwega ũrĩa wehokeirwo, na ũũmenyerere ũteithĩtio nĩ Roho Mũtheru ũrĩa ũikaraga thĩinĩ witũ.
15 You know that everyone in the Province of Asia has deserted me, including Phygelus and Hermogenes.
Wee nĩũĩ atĩ andũ othe thĩinĩ wa bũrũri wa Asia nĩmandiganĩirie, o hamwe na Fugelo, na Herimogene.
16 May the Lord grant mercy to the household of Onesiphorus, because he has often refreshed me and was unashamed of my chains.
Mwathani aroiguĩra andũ a nyũmba ya Onesiforo tha tondũ aananyamarũra kaingĩ na ndaconokire nĩ ũndũ wakwa kuohwo na mĩnyororo.
17 Indeed, when he arrived in Rome, he searched diligently until he found me.
Nowe, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ookire Roma, nĩanjaririe na kĩyo o nginya akĩnyona.
18 May the Lord grant Onesiphorus His mercy on that day. You know very well how much he ministered to me in Ephesus.
Mwathani aroĩtĩkĩra atĩ akaaiguĩrwo tha nĩ Mwathani mũthenya ũcio wakinya! Wee nĩũĩ wega mũno ũrĩa aandeithirie na njĩra nyingĩ rĩrĩa ndaarĩ Efeso.
