2 Timothy 1

1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus, through the will of God, —according to the promise of life in Christ Jesus; —

Pauro, muapositori waJesu Kristu kubudikidza nechido chaMwari, zvichienderana nechivimbiso cheupenyu huri muna Kristu Jesu,

2 Unto Timothy, my beloved child: Favour, mercy, peace, from God our Father, and Christ Jesus our Lord.

kuna Timotio mwana wangu unodikanwa: Nyasha, tsitsi, nerugare zvinobva kuna Mwari Baba naKristu Jesu Ishe wedu.

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,

Ndinovonga Mwari, wandinoshumira kubva kumadziteteguru muhana yakachena, kuti ndisingamiri ndinokurangarira paminyengetero yangu siku nesikati,

4 longing to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, —in order that, with joy, I may be filled:

ndichishuva kukuona, ndichirangarira misodzi yako, kuti ndizadzwe nemufaro,

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.

ndichiisa mumurangariro rutendo rusinganyepedzeri rwuri mauri, rwaimbogara muna mbuya vako Roisi namai vako Yunisi, uye ndinovimba kuti rwuri mauriwo.

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;

Nemhaka yeizvi ndinokuyeudzira kuti ukutidzire chipo chaMwari, chiri mauri nekuiswa kwemaoko angu.

7 For God hath not given us a spirit of cowardice, but of power, and love, and correction.

Nokuti Mwari haana kutipa mweya wekutya asi wesimba, newerudo, newekuzvidzora.

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, —

Naizvozvo usanyadziswa neuchapupu hwaIshe wedu, kana hwangu musungwa wake; asi utambudzikire evhangeri pamwe neni zvichienderana nesimba raMwari,

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 g166)

wakatiponesa, akatidana nekudana kutsvene, kwete zvichienderana nemabasa edu, asi zvichienderana nezano rake pachake, nenyasha dzakapiwa kwatiri muna Kristu Jesu nhambo dzenguva dzisati dzavapo, (aiōnios g166)

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:

asi ikozvino kunoratidzwa nekuonekwa kweMuponesi wedu Jesu Kristu, wakaparadza rufu, akabudisa pachena upenyu nekusafa kubudikidza neevhangeri,

11 Whereunto, I, have been appointed herald and apostle and teacher;

yandakagadzirwa ini kuva muparidzi, nemuapositori, nemudzidzisi wevahedheni.

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.

Nemhaka yeizvi neni ndinotambudzika zvinhu izvi, zvakadaro handinyadziswi, nokuti ndinoziva wandakatenda, uye ndine chokwadi kuti anogona kuchengeta chandakaisa muruoko kusvikira zuva iroro.

13 An outline, have thou, of healthful discourses which from me thou hast heard—with the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus:

Batisisa muenzaniso wemashoko mapenyu awakanzwa kwandiri murutendo nerudo rwuri muna Kristu Jesu.

14 The noble thing entrusted [to thee], do thou guard, through means of the Holy Spirit which dwelleth within us.

Icho chinhu chakanaka chakaiswa mumaoko mako chengeta neMweya Mutsvene anogara matiri.

15 Thou knowest this—that all they who are in Asia have turned away from me, —of whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.

Unozviziva izvi, kuti vese vari paAsia vakandifuratira; pakati pavo pana Figero naHemogene.

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,

Ishe ngaape tsitsi kuimba yaOnesiforo; nokuti kazhinji wakandivandudza, uye haana kunyadziswa neketani yangu,

17 But, happening to be in Rome, he diligently sought out and found me, —

asi asvika Roma, wakanditsvakisisa, akandiwana.

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.

Ishe ngaamuitire kuti awane tsitsi kuna Ishe nezuva iro; uye muzvinhu zvingani zvaakandibatira paEfeso, iwe unozivisisa.
