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,
Paoly, Apostolin’ i Kristy Jesosy noho ny sitrapon’ Andriamanitra, mba ho mpitory ny teny fikasana milaza ny fiainana izay ao amin’ i Kristy Jesosy,
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.
mamangy an’ i Timoty, zanako malala: ho aminao anie ny fahasoavana sy ny famindram-po ary ny fiadanana avy amin’ Andriamanitra Ray sy Kristy Jesosy Tompontsika.
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,
Misaotra an’ Andriamanitra aho, Izay tompoiko araka ny nataon’ ny razako amin’ ny fieritreretana madio, fa tsy manam-pitsaharana akory ny fahatsiarovako anao amin’ ny fivavahako andro aman’ alina;
4 as I think of your tears, longing to see you, that my happiness may be completed,
ary maniry hahita anao aho (satria tsaroako ny ranomasonao), mba ho feno fifaliana aho;
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.
fa nisy nahatsiarovako ny finoana tsy mihatsaravelatsihy izay ao anatinao, izay nitoetra taloha tao anatin’ i Loisa renibenao sy Eonika reninao, ary matoky aho fa ao anatinao koa izany.
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.
Ary noho izany dia mampahatsiaro anao aho mba hamelomanao ny fanomezam-pahasoavana avy amin’ Andriamanitra, izay ao anatinao tamin’ ny fametrahako ny tanako.
7 For the Spirit which God gave us was not a spirit of cowardice, but a spirit of power, love, and self-control.
Fa tsy nomen’ Andriamanitra fanahy osa isika, fa fanahy mahery sy fitiavana ary fahononan-tena.
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.
Koa aza menatra ny ho vavolombelon’ ny Tompontsika, na ahy mpifatony ianao; fa aoka ianao ho mpiombona ny fahoriana noho ny filazantsara araka ny herin’ Andriamanitra,
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 fulfillment of his own loving purpose. For that love was extended to us, through Christ Jesus, before time began, (aiōnios g166)
Izay namonjy antsika sy niantso antsika tamin’ ny fiantsoana masìna, tsy araka ny asantsika, fa araka ny fikasany sy ny fahasoavany izay nomena antsika tao amin’ i Kristy Jesosy hatry ny fony fahagola; (aiōnios g166)
10 and has now been made apparent through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus; who has made an end of death, and has brought life and immortality to light by that good news,
fa naharihary ankehitriny tamin’ ny nisehoan’ i Kristy Jesosy, Mpamonjy antsika, Izay nahafoana ny herin’ ny fahafatesana, ka ny filazantsara no nampisehoany mazava ny fiainana sy ny tsi-fahalòvana mandrakizay;
11 of which I was myself appointed a herald, apostle, and teacher.
ny amin’ io filazantsara io no nanendrena ahy ho mpitory sy Apostoly ary mpampianatra.
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.
Ary noho izany koa no iaretako izao zavatra izao, ka tsy menatra aho, satria fantatro Izay inoako, ary matoky aho fa Izy dia mahatahiry ilay zavatra natolotro Azy mandra-pihavin’ izay andro izay.
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.
Tano amin’ ny finoana ny ny fitiavana ao amin’ i Kristy Jesosy ny mariky ny teny tsy misy kilema, izay efa renao tamiko.
14 Guard by the help of the Holy Spirit, who is within us, the glorious trust that has been committed to you.
Ilay zavatra tsara natolotra anao dia tehirizo amin’ ny fampaherezan’ ny Fanahy Masìna, Izay mitoetra ao anatintsika.
15 You know, of course, that all our friends in Roman Asia turned their backs on me, including Phygellus and Hermogenes.
Fantatrao fa efa nahafoy ahy izay rehetra any Asia; isan’ ireny Fygelo sy Hermogena.
16 May the Lord show mercy to the household of Onesiphorus; for he often cheered me and was not ashamed of my chains.
Homen’ ny Tompo famindram-po anie ny ankohonan’ i Onesiforosy; satria namelombelona ny fanahiko matetika izy, fa tsy menatra ny gadrako;
17 On the contrary, when he arrived in Rome, he sought eagerly for me until he found me.
fa raha tany Roma izy, dia nitady ahy fatratra ka nahita
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.
(ny Tompo anie hampahita azy famindram-po amin’ ny Tompo amin’ izay andro izay); ary ny hafatratry ny nanompoany ahy tany Efesosy dia fantatrao tsara.
