2 Timothy 1
1 From Paul who, by the will of God, is an apostle of Christ Jesus, charged to proclaim the life that comes from union with Christ Jesus,
Nene Pauli, ndi Chapanga aganili nivya na mtumi wa Kilisitu Yesu anitumili muni ndi niukokosa wumi wula weatilagazili mukuwungana na Kilisitu Yesu,
2 to Timothy, my dear child: may God, the Father, and Christ Jesus, our Lord, bless you, and be merciful to you, and give you peace.
nikuyandikila veve Timoti mwana vangu mwenikuganili. Nikuvaganila ubwina wa Chapanga na lipyana na sadika kuhuma kwa Chapanga Dadi na Kilisitu Yesu Bambu witu.
3 I am thankful to God, whom I serve, as my ancestors did, with a clear conscience, when I remember you, as I never fail to do, in my prayers – night and day alike,
Nikumsengusa Chapanga mwanikumhengela kwa mtima weukulangisa kuvya uvi lepi na kubuda ngati chevakitili vagogo vangu, Nisengusa kila penikumbuka mukuyupa kwangu Chapanga kilu na muhi.
4 as I think of your tears, longing to see you, that my happiness may be completed,
Nikumbuka maholi gaku na ninogela neju kukulola, muni nimemeswa luheku.
5 now that I have been reminded of the sincere faith that you have shown. That faith was seen first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and is now, I am convinced, in you also.
Niyimanyili sadika yako ya chakaka, sadika yaavili nayu chitengula chaku Loisi, na nyina waku Eunike. Nivi na uchakaka kuna na veve uvili nayu.
6 And that is my reason for reminding you to stir into flame that gift of God, which is yours through your ordination at my hands.
Ndi mana nikukumbusa uikohakesa njombi ya Chapanga yewapewili panakuvikili mawoko gangu.
7 For the Spirit which God gave us was not a spirit of cowardice, but a spirit of power, love, and self-control.
Muni mpungu wetipewili na Chapanga lepi ndava ya kutikita tivya na wogoyi, lepi, ndi Mpungu waki weukutipela makakala na uganu na kujilongosa mwene.
8 Do not, therefore, be ashamed of the testimony which we have to bear to our Lord, or of me imprisoned for his sake; but join with me in suffering for the good news, as far as God enables you.
Hinu, kotoka kuvya na soni kujova ndava ya Bambu witu, amala kotoka kuniwonela soni nene namfungwa ndava yaki. Nambu uvyai mu mang'ahiso ndava ya Lilovi la Bwina, na ndava ya makakala gewipewa na Chapanga.
9 It was God who saved us, and from him we received our solemn call – not as a reward for anything that we had done, but in fulfilment of his own loving purpose. For that love was extended to us, through Christ Jesus, before time began, (aiōnios g166)
Mwene atisangwili na kutikemela tivya tavandu vaki mwene, lepi ndava ya matendu gitu, ndi muni ndava ya mota yaki. Tapewili ngati cheigana mwene na kwa ubwina waki wa Yesu Kilisitu kwakona lukumbi, (aiōnios g166)
10 and has now been made apparent through the appearing of our Saviour, Christ Jesus; who has made an end of death, and has brought life and immortality to light by that good news,
nambu hinu ubwina wa Chapanga ugubukuliwi kubwela kwaki msangula witu Kilisitu Yesu. Adivalili makakala ga lifwa, na kwa njila ya Lilovi la Bwina na akamanyisa wumi wangali lifwa.
11 of which I was myself appointed a herald, apostle, and teacher.
Chapanga anihagwili nivyai namtumi na muwula wa kuvakokosela vandu Lilovi la Bwina,
12 That is why I am undergoing these sufferings; yet I feel no shame, for I know in whom I have put my faith, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him until that day.
na ndava ya mambu genago naviniswi neju. Nambu nakona nikangamala ndava muni nimmanyili yula mwanimsadika, nivi na uchakaka yati akuchiyangalila mbaka ligono lila leiwuya Kilisitu.
13 Keep before you, as an example of sound teaching, all that you learnt from me as you listened with that faith and love which come from union with Christ Jesus.
Kamula kwa uchakaka mawuliwu gala genakuwulili na kusindimala musadika na uganu witu uwo muwungana na Kilisitu Yesu.
14 Guard by the help of the Holy Spirit, who is within us, the glorious trust that has been committed to you.
Kwa makakala ga Mpungu Msopi mweitama mumitima yitu, kamula mambu goha gabwina ganakugotolili.
15 You know, of course, that all our friends in Roman Asia turned their backs on me, including Phygellus and Hermogenes.
Umanyili kuvya vandu voha va ku Asia vanilekili, pagati yavi ndi Fugelo na Helimogene.
16 May the Lord show mercy to the household of Onesiphorus; for he often cheered me and was not ashamed of my chains.
Bambu uvahengela lipyana vandu va kaya ya Onesifolo, muni anikangamalisi mtima vamahele panavili mchifungu ndi akolili lepi soni,
17 On the contrary, when he arrived in Rome, he sought eagerly for me until he found me.
nambu pahikili ndu ku Loma atumbwili kunilonda mbaka peaniweni.
18 The Lord grant that he may find mercy at the hands of the Lord on that day. The many services that he rendered at Ephesus you have the best means of knowing.
Bambu amuhengela lipyana la Chapanga ligono ilo la kuhamuliwa! Na veve umanyili bwina gamahele geakitili ku Efeso.
