2 Timothy 1
1 [I], Paul, [am writing this letter. I am] an apostle whom Christ Jesus chose so that I would do what God wanted. He chose me [to tell people that God] has promised [that they will] live [eternally] as a result of their having a close relationship with Christ Jesus.
Xoossaa shenen, Yesuus Kiristtoosan benttida de7o ufayssaa markkattanaw Yesuus Kiristtoosa hawaare gidida Phawuloosappe,
2 [I am writing to you], Timothy, whom I love [as if you were] my own son. [I pray that] God our Father and Christ Jesus our Lord will [continue to act] kindly to you, be merciful to you, and [cause you to have] inner peace,
ta dosiya na7aa Ximotiyoosas kiitettida kiita. Xoossaa Aawappenne nu Godaa Kiristtoos Yesuusappe aadho keehatethay, maarotethaynne sarotethay new gido.
3 I thank God [for all that he has done for you]. I serve him, and my ancestors [served him, too. I serve him] in a manner that I know to be right. [I thank him] while repeatedly I [pray for you] at night and during the day.
Taani, ta woosan qammanne gallas nena qoppays. Taani woossiya wode ta mayzata Xoossaanne taani lo77o kahan haggaaziya Xoossaa ne gisho galatays.
4 [While I am thanking God for you], I very much want to see you because I remember how you cried [MTY] [when we separated. I want to see you] in order that I may be (filled with joy/very happy).
Taani ne afuthaa qoppays; nena be7ada ufayttanaw daro laamotays.
5 [I thank God because] I remember that you sincerely believe [in Christ Jesus]. First, your grandmother, Lois, and your mother, Eunice, [believed in him and], I am (convinced/very sure) that you also believe in him.
Qassi new de7iya tuma ammanuwa erays. He ammanoy beni ne wogga aaye Loydininne ne aaye Ewuniqin de7iya ammanuwa mela.
6 Because [I am sure that you believe in him], I remind you to do fervently/wholeheartedly [MET] what God has (assigned for/appointed) you to do and what he has enabled you to do. [God] ([assigned for/appointed]) you to do it as a result of my putting my hands [on you to show/indicate that he had chosen you to do his work].
Hessa gisho, taani ta kushiya ne bolla wothida wode Xoossay new immida imotaa neeni zaara eethana mela akeekisays.
7 Remember that God has put [his Spirit] within us. [His Spirit does not cause us to be] afraid. Instead, [he causes us to be] powerful [to work for God], and he helps us to love [others] and [to] control what we say and do.
Ays giikko, Xoossay nuus wolqqaa, siiqonne nu huu7e haariya Ayyaana immisppe attin yashsha ayyaana immibeenna.
8 So never be ashamed/reluctant to tell others the message about our Lord. And do not [be ashamed] of me, [even though I am] a prisoner [because I preach about] him. Instead, [be willing to] suffer as I do as you proclaim the message about Christ. [Endure what you will suffer] by letting God empower [you to endure it].
Hiza, nu Godaas markkattanaw yeellatoppa; qassi iya gisho qashettida tanankka yeellatoppa. Shin Xoossay new immiya wolqqan Wonggelaa gisho, taara meto ekka.
9 [God] saved us and chose us to conduct our lives in a pure way. It was not our doing good deeds/actions [that caused him to do this for us—something] that we did not deserve. Instead, before (time began/he created the world) he purposed/planned to [be kind to us] as a result of what Christ Jesus [would do for us]. (aiōnios g166)
Xoossay ba sheneninne ba aadho keehatethan nuna ashshidi, ba geeshsha dere oothanaw nuna doorisppe attin nuuni oothida oosuwa gisho gidenna. Ha aadho keehatethaa Kiristtoos Yesuusa baggara alamey medhettanaappe sinthe nuus immis. (aiōnios g166)
10 Now, as a result of our Savior Christ Jesus having come, it has been revealed {he has shown} [that he acts kindly toward us. Specifically, Christ Jesus] has declared that we [will not remain dead after we] die! He has also revealed that, as a result of [our hearing and accepting] the message [about Christ, we] will live [forever in bodies that will] not decay!
Ha77i ha aadho keehatethay nuna ashshiya Kiristtoos Yesuusa yuussan qonccis. I hayqo wolqqaa dhayssidi, Wonggelaa baggara dhayonna de7o nuus qonccisis.
11 I was chosen {Christ chose me} to go as an apostle to many places and proclaim that message to people.
Taani Wonggelaa sabaake, hawaarenne asttamaare gidana mela Xoossay tana dooris.
12 So, even though I suffer [here in this prison], I am not ashamed [of being here] (OR, I am very confident), because I know [Christ Jesus], the one whom I have trusted, and I am convinced/sure that he is able to keep safe the good message that he has entrusted to me (OR, the things that I have entrusted [to him]), and that he will reward me at the time [MTY] [when he comes again].
Taani hessa gisho ha metuwa ekkays; shin ta ammaney ooneekko eriya gisho yeellatikke. Taw imettida hadaraa he gallasay gakkanaw I naaganaw dandda7eyssa erays.
13 Be sure that you tell others the same correct message that you heard from me. [And as you tell it], keep trusting [in Christ Jesus] and keep loving [others] as Christ Jesus [enables you to do].
Taani nena tamaarssida tuma qaala leemiso ootha oykkada Kiristtoos Yesuusa baggara nubaa gidida ammanuwaninne siiquwan de7a.
14 Do not let anyone persuade you to change the [good message that] God has entrusted/given to you. Allow the Holy Spirit who lives in us to [direct what you say].
Nu giddon de7iya Geeshsha Ayyaana wolqqan new imettida lo77o hadaraa naaga.
15 You know that [almost] all [the believers] in Asia [province] have (turned away from/abandoned) me, including Phygelus and Hermogenes.
Iisiya biittan de7iya ubbay taappe haakkidayssa eraasa; entta giddon Figeluusinne Hermmogenes de7oosona.
16 [But I pray that] the Lord will be kind to the family of Onesiphorus for the following reasons: Often he cheered me up and, [even though] I was a prisoner [MTY], he was not ashamed (of me/[to admit he was] my [friend]).
Anesfoori tana daro wode minthethida gisho Goday iya soo asaas qadhetto. Taani qasho keethan de7iya wode I tanan yeellatibeenna.
17 On the contrary, when he came here to Rome, he diligently searched for me until he found me.
Hessa bolla I Roome katamaa yida wode tana minthi koyidi demmis.
18 [I pray that] the Lord will be kind to him on that day [MTY] [when he, the Lord, will judge people]. And how much Onesiphorus served [me] in Ephesus [city], you know very well.
Wurssetha gallasan Goday iyaw qadhettana mela taani Godaa woossays. Efesoona kataman I tana ay mela maaddidaakko ne loytha eraasa
