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.
paulo mtumwa wa yesu kristo kwa mapenzi ganungu. sawasaw na adi ya ukoto waubile ngati ya kristo yesu.
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,
kwa timosea mwana ywanipendele neema. leema na amani buka kwa nungu tati na kristo yesu tatibitu.
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.
nishukulu nungu, ywembe ywani tumikia kwa nia njema kati sha pangaite tatibitu panikumbukia daima katika maombi gangu kile.
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).
na mutwe kati nina minyi klakukubona. ili nenga nibe nafula nina gakumbi kia moli gako.
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.
babile bene kuku mbukia usulmani yako ya ukwezi, ambayo apoosha kwanza ya tatama kwa bibi bake lewisi na mabake yunisi na bile na uwakika na ywembe imaniyo itama ngati yako ayo.
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].
Yino nga sababu nina kukumbukia kujutia kipaji sha nungu yaibile ngati yako kwa ndila kwa bikilwa maboko
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.
Yangu kwa sbabu nungu atu peileeli mwoyo wa yogopa, ila ngupu na upendo n nizamu.
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].
kwa agoo kana ubone aga ushuuda kuhusu tatinitu wala bangu nenga paulo nditabil wa kwake. Ila mwenga ushiliki mateso kwajili ya injili sawa sawa na uweza wa nungu.
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)
Ni nungu ywa tuokowite na kutukema kwa wito mtakatifu apangiteli nyoo lingana na kazi itu bila lingana na neema na pango wake mwene. atitupea makowe gano katika kristo yesu kabula ya mahuda ua. (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!
Lakin mbia mbi uwekevu wa nungu uwishlie umukilwa kwa isha kwa mwokozi witu kristo yesu. kristo ywa ikomesha mauti na kuleta ukoto wa ngali yuwa kwa bwea wa injili.
11 I was chosen {Christ chose me} to go as an apostle to many places and proclaim that message to people.
Kwa manayo natitolekwa mbange na mubili. mtume na mwalimu.
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].
kwa maana yo nina lumia nyo lakini lili haya kwago nitangite ywembe anawesha kuki tunja shilusha nakabizile kwake ata lishubalilu.
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].
Uniku mbukie mfano wa ujumbe wauwa minifu wauu yuwine buka kwangu. pamoja na imani na upendo wa ubilee ngati ya kristo yesu.
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].
Ugaa tunze makowe mazuli gakuka bizile nungu pitia roo mtakatifu ywa tama ngati itu.
15 You know that [almost] all [the believers] in Asia [province] have (turned away from/abandoned) me, including Phygelus and Hermogenes.
utangaze nabaite bote baba tama asiyabati nileka. nabile palikundi ili babe figelo na emugene.
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]).
Bwana ati kwa ponya nyumba ya onesifolo kwango mala nyingi atibudulisha na aibumenili oni minyololo yake.
17 On the contrary, when he came here to Rome, he diligently searched for me until he found me.
Pabile leema ati nipala kwa bidi na anipatike.
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.
Nn”ungu anijalile pata leema buku kwake lishubala lilu. katisha nzaidie pana bilee efeso. wenga utangite vizuli.
