< 2 Timothy 1 >
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus, through the will of God, —according to the promise of life 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 Unto Timothy, my beloved child: Favour, mercy, peace, from God our 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 Grateful, am I, unto God, —unto whom I am rendering divine service from my progenitors in a pure conscience, that, incessant, hold I the remembrance, concerning thee, in my supplications; day and night,
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, —in order that, with joy, I may be filled:
Pungukumbushila minyoi jenu, ngunalokolila kummona nkupinga kuangalala kwangu kupunde.
5 A reminder, having received, of the unfeigned faith, that is in thee, —such, as dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and in thy mother Eunice, —I am persuaded, moreover, 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 put thee in remembrance, to be stirring up God’s gift of favour, which is in thee through means of the laying on of my hands;
Kwa nneyo ngunakunkumbushiya kuti nkwiye shipaji sha a Nnungu, shimposhele punammishile makono.
7 For God hath not given us a spirit of cowardice, but of power, and love, and correction.
Pabha a Nnungu bhangatupa Mbumu jwa bhoga, ikabhe Mbumu jwa mashili, na jwa pingana, na jwa kwiitimalika.
8 Be not thou, therefore, put to shame—with regard to the witness of our Lord, nor with regard to me his prisoner; but suffer hardship together with the glad-message according to 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 hath saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to the peculiar purpose and favour—which was given to us in Christ Jesus before age-during times, (aiōnios )
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 )
10 But hath now been made manifest through means of the forthshining of our Saviour Christ Jesus, —Who, indeed, hath abolished death, and hath thrown light upon life and incorruptibility, through means of the glad-message:
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 Whereunto, I, have been appointed herald and apostle and teacher;
Kwa ligongo lya jene Ngani ja Mmboneji, nne njiagulwa kubha nkulunguya, na ntume na nkujiganya.
12 For which cause, these things also, am I suffering; nevertheless I am not being put to shame, for I know him whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is, able, to guard, that which I have entrusted, [to him] 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 An outline, have thou, of healthful discourses which from me thou hast heard—with the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus:
Nkamulile ukoto majiganyo ga kweli guninnjigenye gala, na ngulupai na nkupingana kwa nkulundana na a Yeshu Kilishitu.
14 The noble thing entrusted [to thee], do thou guard, through means of the Holy Spirit which dwelleth within us.
Kwa Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo atama nkati jetu, nshibhishile ulinda shene shindu sha mmbone shimpegwilwe shila.
15 Thou knowest this—that all they who are in Asia have 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 grant mercy unto the house, of Onesiphorus, in that, ofttimes, hath he refreshed me, and, as regardeth my chain, hath not been put to shame,
Bhakulungwa bhaabhonelanje shiya bha ulongo bha a Oneshipolashi, pabha bhatendaga ndaga ntima wala bhakakolaga oni ga tabhwa kwangu.
17 But, happening to be in Rome, he diligently sought out and found me, —
Ikabhe bhakaisheje ku Loma, gubhatumbile kunoleya, mpaka gubhamweni.
18 The Lord grant him to find mercy from [the] Lord in, that, day; —and, how many times, in Ephesus, he hath ministered, better art, thou, getting to know.
Bhakulungwa a Yeshu bhaabhonele shiya sha a Nnungu lyene lyubhalyo! Na mmwe mmumanyi indu yaigwinji ibhandendele ku Epesho kula.
