< 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,
Njame, Paulo mutumwa wa Klistu Yesu kwelana ne kuyanda kwa Lesa, walatumwa kuya kukambauka sha buyumi mbwalatushomesha mukwikatana ne Klistu Yesu.
2 to Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
Ndalembelenga obe Timoti mwaname ngonsuni. ndasengengeti luse, nkumbo kayi ne lumuno lwa Lesa Bata ne Klistu Yesu Mwami wetu, bibe pali njobe.
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,
Ndalumbunga Lesa ngondasebenselenga ne miyeyo yaswepa yabula mbuli bamashali bakame bakulukulu ncebalikwinsa. Ndalumbunga pakwinga nkandakulubunga mu mipailo yakame munshi ne mashiku sobwe.
4 longing to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy;
Ndanuka ncewalikulila misoshi, nkute kuyanda kwisa kukubona kwambeti nkakondwe ca makasa abili.
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.
Ndanuka lushomo lwa ncinencine ndobakute banyoko ba Yunisi ne bankambuyobe batukashi ba Loisi, ndashometi nenjobe elushomo ndokute.
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;
Neco ndakwanushungeti usheko mano kucipo ca Lesa ncokute ico ncewalatambula pasa mpondalabika makasa akame pali njobe ucisosele mulilo.
7 for God gave us not the spirit of cowardice, but of power, and of love, and of admonition.
Pakwinga Lesa liya kutupa Mushimu wa buyowa sobwe, Mushimu wa Lesa ukute kutupa ngofu, nelusuno kwambeti tucikonshenga kulitibuka.
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,
Neco kotanyumfwanga nsoni kuba kamboni wa Mwami Yesu, nambi kunyumfwa nsoni cebo ca kwambeti ame ndasungwa muno mu jele, obe libambile kucana mapensho, nomba Lesa nakakupe ngofu shakukambauka Mulumbe Waina.
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 )
Walatupulusha ne kutukuwa kwambeti tube bantu bakendi, nkatwalikuba twelela kucitambula, nsombi bwalikuba bubambo ne nkumbo sha Lesa. nkumbo nshalatulesha kupitila mukwikatana ne Klistu Yesu kacitana cilengwa cindi. (aiōnios )
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,
Lino Lesa walatuyubulwila ibi bintu mpwalaboneka Mupulushi wetu Klistu Yesu, nendi ewalapwisha ngofu sha lufu kupitila mu Mulumbe Waina, latwishibishi cena motwela kucanina buyumi butafu.
11 for which I was appointed a herald, and an apostle, and a teacher of the gentiles.
Lesa walansala kwambeti mbe mukambaushi, mutumwa kayi shikwiyisha Mulumbe Waina.
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.
Encondapengelenga, ndiya nsoni pakwinga ndimwishi ngondashoma. Neco ndashometi wela kutabilisha cena bintu mbyabika mumakasa akame mpaka busuba bwashakabwele.
13 Hold the pattern of sound words, which thou heardest from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus;
Lino ikatisha camakasa abili maswi acancine ncine ngondalakwiyisha kwambeti, lushomo ne lusuno lwetu mukwikatana ne Klistu Yesu bibe cilesho kwakobe ca kukonkela.
14 the good trust committed to thee keep through the Holy Spirit which dwelleth in us.
Kupitila muMushimu Uswepa ngotukute, ukunyamfwe kubamba cena buboni bwa palubasu mbowalapewa.
15 Thou knowest this, that all those in Asia turned away from me, of whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.
Ucishi kwambeti bonse mu cimpansha ca Asiya balanshiya ndenka, pali abo balanshiya pali Figelo ne Hemojene.
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,
Nkumbo sha Lesa shibe mung'anda ya Onesifolo, pakwinga ewalikwisa kunjuminisha tunkanda twingi, kayi nkali kunyumfwa nsoni pakumbona kandi ndasungwa nshimbi mu jele.
17 when he arrived at Rome, he sought me out very diligently, and found me.
Mpwalesa ku Loma walanangaula mpaka walancana.
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.
Nkumbo sha Lesa shikabe pali Onesifolo pa busuba bwa lombolosho. Obe ucishi kufula kwa ncito shaina nshalikunyamfwa mpondalikuba ku Efenso.
