< 2 Timothy 1 >

1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus,
Nne a Pauli, kwa pinga kwabho a Nnungu, njemilwe kubha ntume jwa a Yeshu Kilishitu, nkupinga nunguye ga gumi gubhalajile a Nnungu tupegwe, nkulundana na a Yeshu Kilishitu,
2 to Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
ngunakunnjandishila mmwe mmanangu a Timoteo bhungumpinga. Ngunakumpinjila mboka, na shiya, na ulele ikoposhela kwa Atati a Nnungu, na a Yeshu Kilishitu Bhakulungwa bhetu.
3 I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with pure conscience, as without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day,
Ngunakwaatendela eja a Nnungu bhungwatendela liengo kwa ntima gwa mmbone malinga shibhatendangaga ashaambuje bhukala, ngunakwaatendela eja kila pungunkumbushila mmwe mobha gowe, nkujuga kwangu shilo na mui.
4 longing to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy;
Pungukumbushila minyoi jenu, ngunalokolila kummona nkupinga kuangalala kwangu kupunde.
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 it dwelleth in thee also.
Ngunakumbushila ngulupai jenu ja kweli, ngulupai jatandubhile kwa anakulu bhenu a Loishi na anyinabhenu a Eunike. Kwa nneyo ngunakulupalila kuti, jipali nkali kwenu mmwe.
6 For which cause I remind thee to stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the laying on of my hands;
Kwa nneyo ngunakunkumbushiya kuti nkwiye shipaji sha a Nnungu, shimposhele punammishile makono.
7 for God gave us not the spirit of cowardice, but of power, and of love, and of admonition.
Pabha a Nnungu bhangatupa Mbumu jwa bhoga, ikabhe Mbumu jwa mashili, na jwa pingana, na jwa kwiitimalika.
8 Be not then ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner; but endure hardship with me for the gospel through the power of God,
Bhai nnakole oni kong'ondela ga Bhakulungwa bhetu, nkali kungolela oni nne ndabhilwe kwa ligongo lyabho. Ikabheje mme pamo na nne mmboteko kwa ligongo lya Ngani ja Mmbone, malinga shinkupegwa mashili na a Nnungu.
9 who saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and the grace which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began, (aiōnios g166)
Bhene bhatutapwile nikutushema tubhe tubhandu bhabho bha ukonjelo, nngabha kwa ligongo lya itendi yetu, ikabhe kwa ligongo lya pinga kwabho na nema jabho bhayene. Jene nemaji twashinkupegwa nkulundana na a Yeshu Kilishitu kuumila bhukalago. (aiōnios g166)
10 but is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Christ Jesus, who abolished death, and brought life and incorruption to light through the gospel,
Kwa nneyo, jene nemaji nnaino jishiibhulwa bhakayuyweje bhaatapula bhetu a Yeshu Kilishitu. Bhenebho bhashikugapeya mashili ga shiwo, nipeleshela gumi gwa pitipiti kwa Ngani ja Mmbone.
11 for which I was appointed a herald, and an apostle, and a teacher of the gentiles.
Kwa ligongo lya jene Ngani ja Mmboneji, nne njiagulwa kubha nkulunguya, na ntume na nkujiganya.
12 For which cause I suffer also these things. But I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which he hath committed to me unto that day.
Kwa ligongo lya genego, nne ngunapotekwa, nkali nneyo ngakola oni, pabha naamanyi bhene bhungwaakulupalila bhala, numbe nimumanyi kuti shibhashibhishile ulinda shene shibhambele shila, mpaka kuishila lyubha lya mpelo.
13 Hold the pattern of sound words, which thou heardest from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus;
Nkamulile ukoto majiganyo ga kweli guninnjigenye gala, na ngulupai na nkupingana kwa nkulundana na a Yeshu Kilishitu.
14 the good trust committed to thee keep through the Holy Spirit which dwelleth in us.
Kwa Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo atama nkati jetu, nshibhishile ulinda shene shindu sha mmbone shimpegwilwe shila.
15 Thou knowest this, that all those in Asia turned away from me, of whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.
Malinga shimmumanyi kuti bhandu bhowe bha ku Ashia, bhaneshilenje, munkumbi gwabhonji bhaapali a Pigelo na a Elimogene.
16 The Lord give mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, because he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain; but on the contrary,
Bhakulungwa bhaabhonelanje shiya bha ulongo bha a Oneshipolashi, pabha bhatendaga ndaga ntima wala bhakakolaga oni ga tabhwa kwangu.
17 when he arrived at Rome, he sought me out very diligently, and found me.
Ikabhe bhakaisheje ku Loma, gubhatumbile kunoleya, mpaka gubhamweni.
18 The Lord grant to him that he may find mercy from the Lord in that day: and what services he rendered me at Ephesus, thou knowest very well.
Bhakulungwa a Yeshu bhaabhonele shiya sha a Nnungu lyene lyubhalyo! Na mmwe mmumanyi indu yaigwinji ibhandendele ku Epesho kula.
