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.
PAULUS, wanporon en Iesus Kristus pan kupur en Kot, duen inau en maur ren Kristus Iesus.
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,
Ong Timoteus nai seri kompoke pai: Mak o kapunglol, o popol sang ren Kot Sam, o Kristus Iesus atail Kaun en mi re om.
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.
I danke Kot, me i kin papaki insen ai min sang ren sam ai ko mas due i kin poden lamelame uk ni ai kapakap akan ni pong o nin ran.
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).
O inong iong kilang uk ni ai tamatamanta duen om sangesang, pwe i en direki peren.
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.
O ni ai tamanda poson melel, me mi re om, me mi mas ren in om liakalap Lois o in om Oinike o i asa, me a pil mi lol om.
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].
Ari, i me i men kataman kin uk, koe en kamakamaur pai en Kot, me mi lol om ki pwil pa i kat po om,
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.
Pwe Kot sota kotiki ong kitail ngen en masak, a en manaman, o limpok o lelapok.
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].
Koe ari der namenokki om kadedeki atail Kaun, de ngai sapwilim a salidi men, a koe en iang ia kamekameki rongamau duen manaman en Kot.
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)
Me kotin kamaur kitail da o woronge kin kitail worong saraui, kaidin iran atail wiawia kan, a pweki pein a kupur o mak me a kotin kupura ong kitail ren Kristus Iesus mon tapin kaua. (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!
A masan wet a sansaleda ni en atail Saunkamaur Iesus Kristus, me kotin kapuiala mana en mela, ap kapwareda maur o so mor pasang ki rongamau.
11 I was chosen {Christ chose me} to go as an apostle to many places and proclaim that message to people.
I me i kasapwiladang, pwen saunkair o wanporon, o saunpadak en men liki kan.
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].
I me i pil kin kalokolok ki. A i sota kin namenok kila, pwe i asa me i kin kamelele; o i asa, me a kak nekinekid ai pai, me i aleer, lao lei ran o.
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].
Dadaurata song en padak en kamaur, me koe rong sang ia er, o poson o limpok ren Kristus Iesus.
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].
Pai mau o me pwilidier re om, pera ki Ngen saraui, me kotikot lol atail.
15 You know that [almost] all [the believers] in Asia [province] have (turned away from/abandoned) me, including Phygelus and Hermogenes.
Koe asa, me irail karos, me mi Asien, wuki sang ia; kisan ir Pikelus o Ermokenes.
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]).
Kaun o en kotin maki ong toun im en Onesiporus, pwe pan pak toto a kadek ong ia, o a sota namenok ki ai sal mata.
17 On the contrary, when he came here to Rome, he diligently searched for me until he found me.
Pwe ni a mi Rom, a nantiong rapa kin ia, ap diar ia da.
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.
Kaun o en kotin kupura ong i kalangan en Kaun o ni ran kokodo. A koe asa mau, duen a papa nan Episus.
