< 2 Timothy 1 >
1 PAUL, a legate of Jesus the Messiah by the pleasure of God, according to the promise of life which is in Jesus the Messiah;
Pọl, onyeozi Kraịst Jisọs, dị ka uche Chineke si dị, na dị ka nkwa ndụ nʼime Kraịst Jisọs si dị,
2 to Timothy a beloved son; grace, and mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus the Messiah.
Nye gị Timoti, ezi nwa m. Ka amara, na ebere na udo nke sitere na Chineke bụ Nna, na Kraịst Jisọs Onyenwe anyị dịrị gị.
3 I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with a pure conscience, that I continually remember thee in my prayers, by night and by day:
Ana m ekele Chineke, bụ onye m na-ejere ozi ekele, dị ka nna nna m ha mere site nʼakọnuche dị ọcha, ọtụtụ mgbe ka m na-echeta gị nʼekpere m ehihie na abalị.
4 and I desire to see thee, and I call to mind thy tears; that I may be filled with joy,
Ka m na-echeta anya mmiri gị, ọ na-agụsị m agụụ ike ehihie na abalị ịhụ gị, ka ọṅụ m zuo oke.
5 by the recollection which I have, by thy genuine faith, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and in thy mother Eunice, and also, I am persuaded, in thee.
Emere m ka m cheta okwukwe ihu abụọ nʼadịghị nke i nwere, bụ okwukwe nke burii ụzọ dịrị nʼime nne nne gị Lọịsi, bịa dịkwa nʼime nne gị Yunaịsi. Emere ka m kwenye na otu okwukwe ahụ dịkwa nʼime gị.
6 Wherefore I remind thee, that thou excite the gift of God, that is in thee by the imposition of my hands.
Nʼihi nke a, achọrọ m ichetara gị ka i mee ka onyinye Chineke ahụ i nwere na-enwu dị ka ọkụ, bụ nke i natara mgbe m bikwasịrị gị aka m abụọ nʼisi.
7 For God hath not given us a spirit of fear, but of energy, and of love, and of instruction.
Nʼihi na Chineke enyeghị anyị mmụọ ịtụ ụjọ, kama o nyere anyị mmụọ na-emejupụta anyị nʼike, na ịhụnanya, na uche zuruoke.
8 Therefore be not thou ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner; but endure evils in connection with the Gospel, through the power of God;
Ihere emela gị ikwupụta ama banyere Onyenwe anyị maọbụ banyere m bụ onye mkpọrọ ya. Kama, site nʼike Chineke, soro m hụọ ahụhụ nʼihi oziọma ahụ.
9 who hath vivified us, and called us with a holy calling; not according to our works, but according to his good pleasure, and his grace that was given us in Jesus the Messiah from time before the ages, (aiōnios )
Ọ zọpụtara anyị, kpọbata anyị na ndụ dị nsọ. Ọ bụghị nʼihi na anyị kwesiri ka a kpọọ anyị, kama, ọ bụ nʼihi nzube ya na amara ya. E nyere anyị amara nʼime Kraịst Jisọs tupu a tọọ ntọala ụwa a. (aiōnios )
10 and is now made known by the appearing of our Vivifier, Jesus the Messiah; who hath abolished death, and hath made manifest life and immortality, by the gospel:
Ugbu a, o meela ka ihe niile o zubere pụta ìhè site nʼọbịbịa Onye nzọpụta anyị Jisọs Kraịst, onye lara ike ọnwụ nʼiyi, zi anyị ụzọ anyị ga-esi nwee ndụ ebighị ebi site nʼoziọma ahụ.
11 of which I am constituted a herald and a legate, and a teacher of the Gentiles.
Nʼihi oziọma a, ahọpụtara m ka m bụrụ onye na-ekwusa oziọma a, na onyeozi, na onye nkuzi.
12 Therefore I suffer these things: and I am not ashamed; for I know in whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is competent to keep for me my deposit against that day.
Ọ bụkwa nʼihi nke a ka m ji na-ahụ ahụhụ ndị a nʼebe a, ma nʼeziokwu, ihere adịghị eme m, nʼihi na amaara m onye m na-atụkwasị obi, amakwaara m nke ọma, na o nwere ike ichebe ihe niile m nyere ya nʼaka idebe tutu ruo ụbọchị ahụ.
13 Let the form of sound words, which thou hast heard from me, abide with thee; with faith and love, in Jesus the Messiah.
Jidesie eziokwu ahụ aka ike, ụdị eziokwu ahụ mụ onwe m ziri gị, eziokwu ahụ gbasara okwukwe ahụ, na ịhụnanya ahụ dị nʼime Kraịst Jisọs.
14 Keep thou the good deposit, by the Holy Spirit who dwelleth in us.
Chezie onyinye ọma ahụ e sitere nʼaka Mmụọ Nsọ bi nʼime gị nye gị idebe.
15 This thou knowest, that all those in Asia have turned from me; and that among them are Phygellus and Hermogenes.
Dị ka i maara, ndị niile si nʼEshịa bịa nʼebe a agbakụtala m azụ. Ọ bụladị Faigelọs na Hamogịnịs ahapụla m laa.
16 May our Lord bestow mercy on the house of Onesiphorus; for, many times, he refreshed me, and was not ashamed of the chains of my imprisonment.
Ka Onyenwe anyị mere ezinaụlọ Onisiferọs ebere, nʼihi ume ọ gbara m ọtụtụ mgbe. Ihere emeghị ya na-abụ m onye mkpọrọ.
17 But also, when he came to Rome, he sought for me with diligence, and found me.
Mgbe ọ bịaruru Rom, ọ chọgharịrị m nʼebe niile, ma nʼikpeazụ, ọ chọtara m.
18 May our Lord grant him, that he may find mercy with our Lord, in that day. And how he ministered to me at Ephesus, thou very well knowest.
Ka Onyenwe anyị kwe ka ọ nata ebere nʼaka Onyenwe anyị nʼụbọchị ahụ. Ị mara nke ọma ụdị aka o nyere m nʼEfesọs.
