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.
U Paulo umutume wa Yesu kristi sha hwanza Ungolobhe, sawasawa nu Ngolobhe shahaidile uwomi uuli mhati ya Kristi 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,
hwa Timotheo umwana yaganilwe: Uwene nu pumu afume hwa Ngolobhe udaada wa Kristi Yesu U Bwana wentu.
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.
Ihusalipya Ungolobhe, yihumwombele shilola shinza nanzi shahawa wombile awadaada wentu, lwihwizuha ane iputa daima pamunsi
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).
ishasenya inyonywa alole aje imemeje asongwe. Ihwinzuha amasonzi gaho.
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.
Indi sihuzusya ahusu lweteho waho lioli, owo ulwahwande wahakheye hwa bibi waho u Loisi nu manye wano Uyunisi. Imenye aje ulweteho uwo ukhalamhanti yaho.
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].
Eshi ane uhuhuzusya azinjizye ishipaji sha Ngolobhe shishileho mhati lyaho hwi idala lyaweshelwe inyowe zyane.
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.
Uno Ungolobhe sanga ahatupiye impepo lya wonga, ila ngingovu na yilugano ni shinshi.
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].
Awe usahailolele insoni yahunyanje uBwana wentu, nu wahuline ane ni Paulo impinyilwe nao. Huje indeho humalawa yii inzwi sawasawa ni ingovu zya Ngolobhe.
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)
Yu Ngolobhe yatukomboye na hulukwizye huu winto ugolosu. Saga ahawombile esho afuatane ni mbombo izyentu ila alengane nuweene na umupango ugwanke yonyo. Ahatupiye amambo ego hwa Kristi Yesu ghangasele omasala ahuenze. (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!
Lakini eshi ukombolwe wa Ngolobhe ulipa zelu uwahwenze umlokozi wenti uKristi Yesu. U Kristi yakomesha ufye na alente uwomi wasanga uduga huu zelu winzwi.
11 I was chosen {Christ chose me} to go as an apostle to many places and proclaim that message to people.
Aje ane nahasaluliwe awe nombelelo, mtume na umwalimu.
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].
Ane ilawa nantele, ila sagailola insoni maana imenye umwene yamkombonye. Isimisizye aje umwene alini ngovu huhatunzye hala hahaweshele kwa ajili ya isiku lila.
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].
Uyuzushe ifwano yi nongwa ya ugolosu uuhovyezye afume huline. Peka nu lweteho na ulugano ulelo mhanti ya Kristi 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].
Gaweshe amambo aminza gapelile Ungolobhe ashilile upepo ufinjile uhale mhanti yetu.
15 You know that [almost] all [the believers] in Asia [province] have (turned away from/abandoned) me, including Phygelus and Hermogenes.
Umenye aje wonti wawakhala huu Asia wahaleshile. Hwikundi eli waleho Figelo nu Hemogene.
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]).
U Bwana aisajile inyumba ya Onesiforo amasala minchi ahanghelezezye sanga ahandoleye insoni umnyololo gwane.
17 On the contrary, when he came here to Rome, he diligently searched for me until he found me.
Badala yakwe lwahali hu Roma ahanazile hani na ahanajile.
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.
Ungolobhe amwavyaje apele irehema afume humwakwe isiku lila. Umwene ananavyinze lwanahali hwa Efeso, awe umenye shinza.
