< 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,
Paulu, aposteli ti Jesu Kristi nípa ìfẹ́ Ọlọ́run, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìlérí ìyè ti ń bẹ nínú Kristi Jesu,
2 To Timothy, my dearly beloved son: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
Sí Timotiu, ọmọ mi olùfẹ́ ọ̀wọ́n: Oore-ọ̀fẹ́, àánú àti àlàáfíà láti ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run Baba wa, àti Kristi Jesu Olúwa wa.
3 I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with pure conscience, that without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day;
Mo dá ọpẹ́ lọ́wọ́ Ọlọ́run, ẹni tí èmi ń sìn pẹ̀lú ẹ̀rí ọkàn mímọ́ gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwọn baba mi ti í ṣe, pé ni àìsimi lọ́sàn án àti lóru ni mo ń ṣe ìrántí rẹ nínú àdúrà mi.
4 Greatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy;
Bí mo ti rántí omijé rẹ, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni mo ń fẹ́ láti rí ọ kí èmi kí ó lè kún fún ayọ̀.
5 When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also.
Nígbà ti mo bá rántí ìgbàgbọ́ àìṣẹ̀tàn rẹ, èyí ti ó kọ́kọ́ ń bẹ nínú Loisi ìyá ńlá rẹ, àti nínú Eunike ìyá rẹ̀ àti, èyí tí ó dá mi lójú pé ó ń gbé inú rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú.
6 Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.
Nítorí ìdí èyí ni mo ṣe ń ran ọ létí pé kí ó máa rú ẹ̀bùn Ọlọ́run sókè èyí ti ń bẹ nínú rẹ nípa ìgbọ́wọ́lé mi.
7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
Nítorí pé Ọlọ́run kò fún wa ni ẹ̀mí ìbẹ̀rù, bí kò ṣe ti agbára, àti ti ìfẹ́, àti ti ìsẹ́ra-ẹni ti ó yè kooro.
8 Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God;
Nítorí náà, má ṣe tijú láti jẹ́rìí nípa Olúwa wa, tàbí èmi òǹdè rẹ̀; ṣùgbọ́n kí ìwọ ṣe alábápín nínú ìpọ́njú ìyìnrere nípa agbára Ọlọ́run,
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 the world began, (aiōnios g166)
ẹni ti ó gbà wá là, ti ó si pè wá sínú ìwà mímọ́—kì í ṣe nípa iṣẹ́ tí a ṣe ṣùgbọ́n nípasẹ̀ ète àti oore-ọ̀fẹ́ rẹ̀. Oore-ọ̀fẹ́ yìí ni a fi fún wa nínú Kristi Jesu láti ìpìlẹ̀ ayérayé, (aiōnios g166)
10 But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:
ṣùgbọ́n tí a fihàn nísinsin yìí nípa ìfarahàn Jesu Kristi Olùgbàlà wa, ẹni ti ó pa ikú run, tí ó sì mú ìyè àti àìkú wá sí ìmọ́lẹ̀ nípasẹ̀ ìyìnrere.
11 Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.
Fún ti ìyìnrere tí a yàn mi láti jẹ oníwàásù àti aposteli àti olùkọ́.
12 For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.
Nítorí ìdí èyí ní èmi ṣe ń jìyà wọ̀nyí pẹ̀lú. Ṣùgbọ́n ojú kò tì mí, nítorí èmi mọ ẹni tí èmi gbàgbọ́, ó sì dá mi lójú pé, òun lè pa ohun ti mo fi lé e lọ́wọ́ mọ́ títí di ọjọ́ náà.
13 Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
Ohun tí ó gbọ́ láti ọ̀dọ̀ mi, pa a mọ́ gẹ́gẹ́ bí àpẹẹrẹ ẹ̀kọ́ rere nínú ìgbàgbọ́ àti ìfẹ́ Kristi Jesu.
14 That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us.
Pa ohun rere ti a ti fi lé ọ lọ́wọ́ mọ́ nípa Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́ ti ń gbé inú wa.
15 This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia be turned away from me; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.
Èyí ni ìwọ mọ̀ pé, gbogbo àwọn ti ó wà ni agbègbè Asia ti fi mí sílẹ̀, nínú àwọn ẹni tí Figeliu àti Hamogene gbé wà.
16 The Lord give mercy unto the house of Onesiphorus; for he oft refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain:
Kí Olúwa fi àánú fún ilé Onesiforu; nítorí ti ó máa ń tù mi lára nígbà púpọ̀, ẹ̀wọ̀n mi kò sì tì í lójú.
17 But, when he was in Rome, he sought me out very diligently, and found me.
Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí ó wà ni Romu, ó fi ẹ̀sọ̀ wá mi, ó sì rí mi.
18 The Lord grant unto him that he may find mercy of the Lord in that day: and in how many things he ministered unto me at Ephesus, thou knowest very well.
Kí Olúwa fi fún un kí ó lè rí àánú lọ́dọ̀ Olúwa ni ọjọ́ náà! Ìwọ tìkára rẹ sá à mọ̀ ọ̀nà gbogbo tí ó gbà ràn mí lọ́wọ́ ni Efesu.
