2 Timothy 1
1 Paul, an Apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, on account of the promise of life, which is by Christ Jesus;
Nwoma yi firi Paulo a ɔyɛ Kristo Yesu ɔsomafoɔ no nkyɛn. Onyankopɔn ankasa na ɔfrɛɛ me sɛ ɔsomafoɔ, sɛ menkɔbɔ nkwa a ɔnam Kristo Yesu so de baeɛ no ho dawuro.
2 to Timothy, my beloved son: Favor, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from Christ Jesus our Lord.
Mede kɔma me dɔba Timoteo: Adom, mmɔborɔhunu ne asomdwoeɛ mfiri Agya Onyankopɔn ne yɛn Awurade Kristo Yesu nka wo.
3 I give thanks to God, (whom from my forefathers I serve with a pure conscience, ) that I have unceasing remembrance of you in my prayers night and day;
Meda Onyankopɔn a mede adwene mu fann som no sɛdeɛ me mpanimfoɔ yɛeɛ no ase. Daa, anadwo ne awia, mekae wo wɔ me mpaeɛbɔ mu.
4 remembering your tears, I greatly desire to see you, that I may be filled with joy:
Mekae wo nisuteɛ ɛberɛ a yɛredi mpaapaemu no a, ɛma mʼani gyina wo. Enti sɛ mehunu wo bio a mʼani bɛgye.
5 calling to remembrance also the unfeigned faith which is in you, which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois, and in your mother Eunice, and I am persuaded that it dwells in you also.
Mekae gyidie a emu yɛ den a na wowɔ, gyidie a ɛfirii aseɛ firii wo nana Lois ne wo maame Eunike mu no, na megye di sɛ woda so kura saa gyidie no a emu yɛ den no ara mu.
6 For which cause I put you in mind to stir up the spiritual gift of God, which is in you through the imposition of my hands.
Yei enti merebɔ wo nkaeɛ sɛ kae akyɛdeɛ a ɛberɛ a mede me nsa guu wo so no Onyankopɔn de maa wo no.
7 For God has not given us a spirit of cowardice; but of power, and of love, and of self-government.
Ɛfiri sɛ, Honhom a Onyankopɔn de maa yɛn no mma yɛnyɛ ahufoɔ; na mmom, Honhom no ma yɛn tumi, ɔdɔ ne ahohyɛsoɔ.
8 Wherefore, be not ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner; but jointly suffer evil for the gospel, according to the power of God;
Mma wʼani nnwu Awurade adansedie, ne me a meyɛ ne deduani ho. Na sɛ ɔhaw bi to wo Asɛmpa no ka ho a, gyina pintinn wɔ ahoɔden a Onyankopɔn de ama wo no mu.
9 who has saved us, and called us with a holy calling, --not on account of our works; but on account of his own purpose and favor, which was given us through Christ Jesus, before the times of the ages, (aiōnios g166)
Ɔgyee yɛn nkwa frɛɛ yɛn sɛ yɛmmɛyɛ ne dea. Ɛnyɛ biribi pa bi a yɛayɛ enti, na mmom, ɛyɛ nʼadom ara kwa. Ansa na wɔrehyɛ ewiase ase no na ɔnam Kristo Yesu so kyɛɛ yɛn saa adom no, (aiōnios g166)
10 and is now manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ; who has, indeed, vanquished death, and brought life and incorruptibility to light by the gospel:
na seesei, ɔnam Agyenkwa Kristo Yesu ba a ɔbɛba no so ada biribiara adi akyerɛ yɛn. Kristo, yɛn Agyenkwa dii owuo so nkonim, na ɔde anigyesɛm a ɛhyerɛn te sɛ kanea na ɛma nkwa a ɛnni awieeɛ brɛɛ yɛn.
11 of which I am appointed a herald, and an Apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles:
Onyankopɔn ayi me sɛ ɔsomafoɔ ne ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ sɛ menna Asɛmpa no adi.
12 for which cause I also suffer these things. Nevertheless, I am not ashamed; for I know in whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to preserve what I have committed in trust to him, till that day.
Ɛnam yeinom so enti na mehunu saa amaneɛ yi. Nanso, meda so wɔ gyidie, ɛfiri sɛ, menim deɛ mede me ho to no so no, na menim nso sɛ ɔbɛkora deɛ mede ahyɛ ne nsa no ama da no nso.
13 The form of wholesome words, which you have heard from me, hold fast, with the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.
Sɔ nokwasɛm a mekyerɛɛ wo no mu yie, na fa yɛ nhwɛsodeɛ, na tena gyidie ne ɔdɔ a ɛyɛ yɛn dea wɔ Kristo Yesu mu no.
14 The good deposit guard by the Holy Spirit, who dwells in us.
Wɔde ademudeɛ a ɛsom bo ahyɛ wo nsa. Fa Honhom Kronkron a ɔte wo mu no mmoa bɔ ho ban.
15 You know this, that all they who are in Asia have turned me off; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.
Sɛdeɛ wonim no, Akristofoɔ a wɔfiri Asia baa ha no nyinaa adwane agya me. Figelo ne Hermogene nso ka wɔn ho.
16 May the Lord grant mercy to the family of Onesiphorus; for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain:
Awurade nhunu Onesiforo fiefoɔ mmɔbɔ ɛfiri sɛ, ɔhyɛɛ me nkuran mpɛn bebree. Nʼani anwu wɔ me ho sɛ mada afiase pɛn,
17 but being in Rome, he sought me out very diligently, and found me.
na ɔduruu Roma ara pɛ, ɔbɔɔ mmɔden hwehwɛɛ me ara kɔsii sɛ ɔhunuu me.
18 May the Lord grant him to find mercy from the Lord in that day! And how many services he rendered to me in Ephesus, you well know.
Awurade mmoa no na da no ɔnnya ahummɔborɔ mfiri Awurade no nkyɛn! Wonim akwan ahodoɔ a ɔfaa so boaa me wɔ Efeso.
