< 2 Timothy 1 >
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, according to the promise of the life which is in Christ Jesus,
Paulo n'tume ghwa Yesu Kristu kwa mapenzi gha K'yara, sabhwa ni ahadi sya uzima bhwabhujhele mugati mwa Kristu Yesu,
2 to Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
kwa Timotheo mwana n'ganwa: Neema, rehema ni amani kuhoma kwa K'yara Dadi jhitu ni Kristu Yesu Bwana bhitu.
3 I thank God, whom I serve as my forefathers did, with a pure conscience. How unceasing is my memory of you in my petitions, night and day
Nikan'shukuru K'yara, ambajhe nikan'tumikila kwa nia jhinofu kama kyabhabhombili bhadadi jhangu, panikhomboka daima mu maombi ghangu. Kiru ni
4 longing to see you, remembering your tears, that I may be filled with joy;
pamusi ninoghela kubhona, ili kwamba nimemanyi ni furaha. Nikaghakhomboka mahosi gha jhobhi.
5 having been reminded of the unfeigned faith that is in you; which lived first in your grandmother Lois, and your mother Eunice, and, I am persuaded, in you also.
Nikajha nikhombosibhwa kuhusu imani jha jhobhi halisi, ambajho apu kwanza jhatamili kwa mbuyuakhu Loisi ni nyinuakhu Yunisi. Na nijhe ni hakika kujha imani ejhu jhitama mugati mwa bhebhe kabhele.
6 For this cause, I remind you that you should stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.
Ejhe ndo sababu nikukhomb'osya kujhingesya karama jha K'yara jhajhijhele mugati mwa bhebhe kwa nj'ela jha kubhekibhwa mabhoko gha nene.
7 For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power and love and of a sound mind.
Kwa kujha K'yara atupelili lepi roho jha bhuogha bali jha nghofu ni litengo.
8 Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner; but endure hardship for the Good News according to the power of God,
Henu usibhubhoneli agha bhushuhuda kuhusu Bwana bhitu, bhwala bhwa nene Paulo mfungwa ghwa muene. Bali ushirikiajhi malombosi kwandabha jha injili sabhwa ni bhuweza bhwa K'yara.
9 who saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began, (aiōnios )
Ndo K'yara jhaatuokwili ni kutukuta kwa bhwito bhutakatifu. Abhombilepi naha kulengana ni mahengu gha tete bali kulengana ni neema ni mpango bhwa muene. Atupelili mambo agha kwa Kristu Yesu kabla jha nyakati kubhuanja. (aiōnios )
10 but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light through the Good News.
Lakini henu bhwokovu bhwa K'yara ufunulibhu kwa kuhida kwa mwokozi ghitu Yesu Kristu. Ndo Kristu jha aghakomisi mauti ni kuleta bhusima bhwabhubeli kukoma kwa nuru jha injili.
11 For this, I was appointed a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher.
Kwa ndabha ejhu nachagulibhu kujha muhubiri, mtume ni mwalimu.
12 For this cause I also suffer these things. Yet I am not ashamed, for I know him whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to guard that which I have committed to him against that day.
Kwandabha ejhe niteseka kabhele, lakini nibhonalepi soni kwandabha nimmanyili muene jhanimalikun'kiera. Nijhe ni bhuhakika kujha muene ibhwesya kukitunza khela kyanikikabidhi kwa muene hata ligono lela.
13 Hold the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
Ukombokajhi mfanu bhwa ujumbe bhwa uaminifu bhwauupeliki kuhomela kwa nene, pamonga ni imani ni upendo bhwabhujhele mugati mwa Kristu Yesu.
14 That good thing which was committed to you, guard through the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.
Ghatunzajhi mambo manofu ghaakukabisi K'yara kup'etela Roho Mtakatifu jhaitama mugati mwa tete.
15 This you know, that all who are in Asia turned away from me; of whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.
Umanyili kujha bhabhatama Asia bhanilekhili. Mulikundi e'le bhajhele Figelo ni Hemogene.
16 May the Lord grant mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain,
Bwana airehemuajhi nyumba jha Onesiforo kwa kujha mara nyimehele aniburudisi na ajhibhonili lepi soni minyororo ghya nene.
17 but when he was in Rome, he sought me diligently, and found me
Badala jhiake, bho ajhe Roma anilondili kwa bidii nesu ni kunikabha.
18 (the Lord grant to him to find the Lord's mercy in that day); and in how many things he served at Ephesus, you know very well.
K'yara an'tangatilayi kukabha rehema kuhoma kwa muene ligono lela. Kama kyaanitangatili bhonijhele Efeso, bhebhe umanyili kinofu.
