2 Timothy 1
1 Paul an Apostle of Iesus Christ, by the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Iesus,
Nye, Paulo, Yesu Kristo ƒe apostolo, ame si Mawu ɖo ɖa be wòaɖe gbeƒã agbe mavɔ si ŋugbe wòdo to Yesu Kristo dzixɔse me na amewo katã la gbɔe agbalẽ sia tso,
2 To Timotheus my beloued sonne: Grace, mercie and peace from God the Father, and from Iesus Christ our Lord.
Na Timoteo, vinye lɔlɔ̃a. Mawu, Fofo la kple Yesu Kristo, míaƒe Aƒetɔ nana eƒe amenuveve, nublanuikpɔkpɔ kple ŋutifafa wò.
3 I thanke God, whom I serue from mine elders with pure conscience, that without ceasing I haue remembrance of thee in my praiers night and day,
Timoteo, medaa akpe na Mawu, ame si mesubɔna abe ale si fofonyewo wɔ ene. Meɖea kuku na Mawu zi geɖe le zã kple keli be wòakɔ yayra geɖewo ɖe dziwò, eye nye dzitsinyae nye be madze eŋu le agbe sia me.
4 Desiring to see thee, mindefull of thy teares, that I may be filled with ioy:
Mele didim vevie be magakpɔ wò. Dzi adzɔm ŋutɔ, elabena meɖoa ŋku ale si nèfa avi vevie esime míenɔ kaklãm ɖa tso mía nɔewo gbɔ la dzi.
5 When I call to remembrance the vnfained faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and in thy mother Eunice, and am assured that it dwelleth in thee also.
Menya ale si xɔse alakpamanɔme si le mewò abe dawò Enuike kple mamawò Lois ke ene. Meka ɖe edzi be ègale ŋu ɖom ɖe Aƒetɔ la ŋu kokoko abe tsã ene.
6 Wherefore, I put thee in remembrance that thou stirre vp the gift of God which is in thee, by the putting on of mine hands.
Le esia ta mele ŋku ɖom edzi na wò be nàde dzo Mawu ƒe nunana si ge ɖe mewò to nye asidada ɖe dziwò me la me,
7 For God hath not giuen to vs the Spirite of feare, but of power, and of loue, and of a sound minde.
elabena Mawu mena vɔvɔ̃gbɔgbɔ mi o, ke boŋ ŋusẽ kple lɔlɔ̃ kple ɖokuidziɖuɖu ƒe gbɔgbɔ wòna mi.
8 Be not therefore ashamed of the testimonie of our Lord, neither of me his prisoner: but be partaker of the afflictions of the Gospel, according to the power of God,
Ne àde dzo ŋusẽ si le mewò me la, màvɔ̃ ɣe aɖeke ɣi na gbeƒãɖeɖe Aƒetɔ la na ame bubuwo alo ana woanya be xɔ̃wò menye, togbɔ be mele gaxɔ me le afii le Kristo ta hã o. Ànɔ klalo be yeakpe fu kplim le nyanyui la ta, elabena Mawu ana ŋusẽ wò le fukpekpe me.
9 Who hath saued vs, and called vs with an holy calling, not according to our workes, but according to his owne purpose and grace, which was giuen to vs through Christ Iesus before the world was, (aiōnios g166)
Eyae ɖe mí, eye wotia mí na eƒe dɔ kɔkɔe la wɔwɔ, menye be míedze nɛ ta o, ke boŋ elabena eyae nye eƒe ɖoɖo xoxoxo hafi wòwɔ xexea me be yeaɖe yeƒe lɔlɔ̃ kple amenuveve afia mí to Kristo Yesu dzi. (aiōnios g166)
10 But is nowe made manifest by that appearing of our Sauiour Iesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortalitie vnto light through the Gospel.
Ke azɔ la, ena nu siawo katã me kɔ na mí to mía Ɖela Yesu Kristo ƒe vava me. Kristo Yesu ɖu ku ƒe ŋusẽ dzi, eye wòfia agbe mavɔ la ƒe mɔ mí to nyanyui la me.
11 Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and Apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.
Eye wòtiam be manye nyanyui sia ƒe gbeƒãɖela, apostolo kple nufiala.
12 For the which cause I also suffer these things, but I am not ashamed: for I knowe whom I haue beleeued, and I am persuaded that he is able to keepe that which I haue committed to him against that day.
Eya tae mele fu kpem le afi sia le gaxɔ me ɖo. Nu sia menye ŋukpe nam kura o, elabena menya ame si ŋu meɖo ŋu ɖo, eye meka ɖe edzi be ate ŋu adzɔ nu siwo katã metsɔ de asi nɛ la ŋu dedie va se ɖe gbe si gbe wòagava.
13 Keepe the true paterne of the wholesome wordes, which thou hast heard of me in faith and loue which is in Christ Iesus.
Lé nyateƒe si mefia wò la me ɖe asi sesĩe, vevietɔ esi ku ɖe xɔse kple lɔlɔ̃ si Kristo Yesu tsɔ na wò la ŋu.
14 That worthie thing, which was committed to thee, keepe through the holy Ghost, which dwelleth in vs.
Lé be na ŋutete si Mawu na nèxɔ to Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe si le agbe le mewò dzi la nyuie.
15 This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia, be turned from me: of which sort are Phygellus and Hermogenes.
Abe ale si nènya ene la, kristotɔ siwo katã tso Asia va afi sia la gblẽm ɖi. Figelo kple Hermogene gɔ̃ ha gblẽm ɖi.
16 The Lord giue mercie vnto the house of Onesiphorus: for he oft refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chaine,
Aƒetɔ la nayra Onesiforo kple eƒe aƒe blibo la, elabena eva kpɔam ɖa, eye wòdea dzi ƒo nam enuenu. Eƒe kpɔkpɔɖa gbɔa agbem abe ya fafɛ nyui ene, eye nye gaxɔmenɔnɔ menye ŋukpe nɛ o.
17 But when he was at Rome, he sought me out very diligently, and found me.
Le nyateƒe me la, esi wòva Roma la, edim vevie le afi sia afi, eye wòke ɖe ŋunye mlɔeba.
18 The Lord graunt vnto him, that he may finde mercie with the Lord at that day, and in how many things he hath ministred vnto me at Ephesus, thou knowest very well.
Aƒetɔ la nana yayra tɔxɛ le Kristo ƒe vavagbe la. Wò ŋutɔ ènya ale si wòkpe ɖe ŋunye le Efeso la nyuie wu ale si mate ŋu agblɔe na wò.
