< 2 Timothy 1 >

1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus, by the will of God, sent forth to proclaim the promise of the 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 beloved child; Grace mercy, and peace to you from God our 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 give thanks to God whom I worship with a pure conscience as my fathers did, when I remember you unceasingly in my prayers.
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 Night and day when I recall your tears I am longing to see you, that my happiness may be complete.
Bí mo ti rántí omijé rẹ, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni mo ń fẹ́ láti rí ọ kí èmi kí ó lè kún fún ayọ̀.
5 I have been reminded of that sincere faith which is in your heart; which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice, and, I am fully persuaded, dwells in you 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 For this reason let me remind you to keep ever blazing that gift of God which is in you through the laying 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 has not given us a spirit of cowardice, but a spirit of power and of love and of self-control.
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 Do not then be ashamed to bear witness for our Lord, nor for me, his prisoner. Nay, join with me in suffering for the gospel by 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 He has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not dealing with us according to our works, but according to his purpose and grace which he gave us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time. (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 This has now been made manifest through the appearing of our Saviour Christ Jesus, who has put an end to death, and 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 Of the gospel I was appointed a herald, apostle, and teacher; and that is the reason I am now undergoing these sufferings.
Fún ti ìyìnrere tí a yàn mi láti jẹ oníwàásù àti aposteli àti olùkọ́.
12 But I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have fully believed, and I am thoroughly persuaded that he is able to keep what I have given him until the 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 pattern of sound teaching you have heard from 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 Guard the glorious trust which has been committed to you by the aid of the Holy Spirit who makes his home in us.
Pa ohun rere ti a ti fi lé ọ lọ́wọ́ mọ́ nípa Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́ ti ń gbé inú wa.
15 You already know that all the Christians in Roman Asia forsook me, among them 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 show mercy to the house hold of Onesiphorus; for many a time he 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 came to Rome he sought for me until he found me.
Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí ó wà ni Romu, ó fi ẹ̀sọ̀ wá mi, ó sì rí mi.
18 The Lord grant him to find mercy form the Lord in that Day! And you know better than I how many services he rendered in Ephesus.
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.
