2 Timothy 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, according to the promise of the life which is in Christ Jesus,
Pauro, mupostori waKristu Jesu nokuda kwaMwari, maererano nechipikirwa choupenyu huri muna Kristu Jesu,
2 to Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
kuna Timoti mwanakomana wangu anodikanwa: Nyasha, ngoni norugare zvinobva kuna Mwari Baba naKristu Jesu, Ishe wedu ngazvive newe.
3 I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers in a pure conscience, how unceasing is my remembrance of thee in my supplications, night and day
Ndinovonga Mwari, wandinoshumira sezvakaitwa namadzitateguru angu, nehana yakachena, sezvo ndichikurangarira muminyengetero yangu usiku namasikati.
4 longing to see thee, remembering thy tears, that I may be filled with joy;
Ndichirangarira misodzi yako, ndinoshuva kukuona, kuti ndigozadzwa nomufaro.
5 having been reminded of the unfeigned faith that is in thee; which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and, I am persuaded, in thee also.
Ndinoyeuchidzwa kutenda kwako kusinganyengeri, kwakanga kuri muna mbuya vako Roisi uye nomuna mai vako Yunisi pakutanga, uye zvino ndinoziva kuti kunogarawo mauri.
6 For the which cause I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee through the laying on of my hands.
Nokudaro ndinokuyeuchidza kuti ukuchidzire chipo chaMwari chiri mauri nokuiswa kwamaoko angu pamusoro wako.
7 For God gave us not a spirit of fearfulness; but of power and love and discipline.
Nokuti Mwari haana kutipa mweya wokutya, asi mweya wesimba, neworudo newokuzvidzora.
8 Be not ashamed therefore of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but suffer hardship with the gospel according to the power of God;
Saka usanyadziswa nokupupura Ishe wedu, kana kunyadziswa neni musungwa wake. Asi utambudzike pamwe chete neni nokuda kwevhangeri, nesimba raMwari,
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 us in Christ Jesus before times eternal, (aiōnios g166)
akatiponesa uye akatidanira kuupenyu hutsvene, kwete nokuda kwechinhu chatakaita asi kuti nokuda kwake iye, uye nenyasha. Nyasha idzi takadzipiwa muna Kristu Jesu nguva dzisati dzavapo, (aiōnios g166)
10 but hath now been manifested by the appearing of our Saviour Christ Jesus, who abolished death, and brought life and incorruption to light through the gospel,
asi zvino dzakaratidzwa nokuonekwa kwoMuponesi wedu Kristu Jesu, akaparadza rufu uye akabudisa pachena upenyu nokusafa kubudikidza nevhangeri.
11 whereunto I was appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher.
Uye ndakaitwa muparidzi, mupostori nomudzidzisi wevhangeri iri.
12 For the which cause I suffer also 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 unto him against that day.
Ndokusaka ndichitambudzika sezvandiri kuita. Asi handinyadziswi, nokuti ndinoziva wandakatenda, uye ndinoziva kwazvo kuti anogona kuchengeta chandakamupa kusvikira zuva iroro.
13 Hold the pattern of sound words which thou hast heard from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
Zvawakanzwa kubva kwandiri, zvichengete sedzidziso yechokwadi, nokutenda norudo muna Kristu Jesu.
14 That good thing which was committed unto [thee] guard through the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us.
Chengetedza chakanaka chiri mauri chawakapiwa, chichengetedze uchibatsirwa naMweya Mutsvene anogara matiri.
15 This thou knowest, that all that are in Asia turned away from me; of whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.
Unoziva kuti vose vari mudunhu reEzhia vakandisiya, kusanganisirawo naFigerasi naHerimogenesi.
16 The Lord grant mercy unto the house of Onesiphorus: for he oft refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain;
Ishe ngaaitire imba yaOnesiferasi ngoni, nokuti kazhinji anondisimbisa uye haana kunyadziswa nengetani dzangu.
17 but, when he was in Rome, he sought me diligently, and found me
Asi kutoti, paakanga ari muRoma, akanditsvaga kwazvo kusvikira andiwana.
18 (the Lord grant unto him to find mercy of the Lord in that day); and in how many things he ministered at Ephesus, thou knowest very well.
Ishe ngaamuitire chinhu ichi kuti awane ngoni kubva kuna Ishe pazuva iro! Iwe unoziva kwazvo kuti akandibatsira zvikuru sei muEfeso.
