2 Timothy 1
1 PAUL, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of the life which is in Christ Jesus,
Ngai Polo, ntoma ya Yesu-Klisto, kolanda mokano ya Nzambe, mpo na kosakola bomoi oyo Nzambe alaka kati na Yesu-Klisto;
2 to Timothy, my beloved son: grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
Epai ya Timote, mwana na ngai ya bolingo: Tika ete ngolu, boboto mpe kimia epesamela yo kowuta na Nzambe Tata mpe na Yesu-Klisto, Nkolo na biso!
3 I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with a pure conscience, that I keep up a constant remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day;
Nazali kozongisa matondi epai ya Nzambe oyo nasalelaka na motema peto ndenge bakoko na ngai bazalaki kosala, pamba te tango nyonso, ezala butu to moyi, nabosanaka yo te na mabondeli na ngai.
4 earnestly desiring to see thee, remembering thy tears, that I might be filled with joy;
Tango nakanisaka mpinzoli na yo, nakomaka na posa makasi ya komona yo mpo ete natondisama na esengo.
5 recalling to my memory the unfeigned faith which was in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and in thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that it is in thee also.
Nakanisaka bosolo ya kondima na yo, oyo Loyisi, koko na yo ya mwasi, mpe Enise, mama na yo, bazalaki na yango, kondima oyo nandimisami solo ete ezali mpe kati na yo.
6 For which cause I remind thee that thou fan into a flame the divine gift, which is in thee by the imposition of my hands.
Yango wana nazali kolendisa yo ete olamusa lisusu likabo oyo Nzambe apesaki yo tango natiaki yo maboko.
7 For God hath not given us a spirit of fear; but of courage, and of love, and of sobriety.
Pamba te Molimo oyo Nzambe apesa biso akomisaka biso te bato ya kobanga-banga, kasi apesaka biso makasi, bolingo mpe mayele.
8 Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but suffer affliction with me in the gospel, supported by the power of God;
Boye, koyoka soni te mpo na kotatola na tina na Nkolo na biso to mpe na tina na ngai oyo nakangami na boloko mpo na Ye, kasi mona pasi elongo na ngai mpo na Sango Malamu kolanda makasi oyo Nzambe azali kopesa yo,
9 who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before time had a beginning; (aiōnios g166)
pamba te abikisaki biso mpe abengaki biso mpo ete totambola na bomoi ya bule. Mpe soki asalaki bongo, ezali te mpo na misala na biso, kasi ezali nde mpo na mabongisi mpe ngolu na Ye moko kaka, ngolu oyo apesaki biso kati na Yesu-Klisto liboso ya ebandeli ya tango. (aiōnios g166)
10 but is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and brought to light life and immortality by the gospel:
Nzokande ngolu yango emonani sik’oyo na nzela ya koya ya Yesu-Klisto, Mobikisi na biso, oyo asilisaki nguya ya kufa mpe atalisaki bosolo ya bomoi ya seko na nzela ya Sango Malamu.
11 whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.
Ezali mpo na Sango Malamu yango nde Nzambe atiaki ngai moteyi, ntoma mpe molakisi.
12 For which cause also I suffer these things; but I am not ashamed: for I know on whom I have placed my confidence, and am persuaded that he is mighty to guard my deposit unto the great day.
Ezali mpe mpo na Sango Malamu yango nde nazali komona pasi oyo. Kasi atako bongo, nazali koyoka soni te, pamba te nayebi nani oyo ngai nandimela, mpe nazali na elikya ete azali na makoki ya kobatela nyonso oyo apesa ngai, kino na mokolo wana.
13 Model thy teaching according to the pattern of the sound discourses, which thou hast heard from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
Kamata lokola ndakisa, mateya ya sembo oyo nateyaki yo mpe salela yango kolanda kondima mpe bolingo oyo tozali na yango kati na Yesu-Klisto.
14 The glorious deposit committed to thy trust, guard by the Holy Ghost who dwelleth in us.
Batela yango malamu lokola bomengo, na lisungi ya Molimo Mosantu oyo avandaka kati na biso.
15 Knowest thou this, that all those of Asia have deserted me? among whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.
Oyebi malamu ete bato nyonso oyo bazali kati na mokili ya Azia bakimaki ngai; kati na bango, tozali na Fijele mpe Erimojene.
16 The Lord grant mercy unto the household of Onesiphorus because he frequently was a refreshment to my soul, and was not ashamed of my chain:
Tika ete Nkolo atalisa ngolu na Ye epai ya libota ya Onezifore, pamba te abondisaki ngai mbala mingi mpe ayokaki soni te mpo na minyololo na ngai.
17 but, when he was at Rome, he sought me out diligently, and found me.
Kutu tango akomaki na Rome, asalaki nyonso mpo na koluka ngai kino amonaki ngai.
18 The Lord grant that he may find mercy with the Lord in the great day; and how liberally he ministered to me at Ephesus, thou knowest better than any other person.
Tika ete, na mokolo wana, Nkolo atalisa ngolu na Ye epai ya Onezifore! Oyebi lisusu malamu ndenge nini asungaki ngai kati na Efeso.
