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.
Bulus, una kadura ka Asere Yeso usuro u wuna Asere, usuro u inko utize tu vengize sa u'ra anyimo Ugomo Asere Yeso.
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,
U hana a Timoti, vana u hem irii-ri, ubura, nan nu runta u suro Asere acoo nan Yeso unu bura uru.
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.
Ma wuza Asere ankoi, agebe sa in nunzo ani daati usuro a cokoro aru utuba, innu basa u lau, uganiya sa in ringizin u anyimo abiriugara bum koya u maya (niye nan nuwui).
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).
Uganiya sa ma ringi innmaje mawe, in nyari u ira uwe, barki in myinca inna puru arum.
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.
Aringum usuro uhem ukadure kawe, ugebe sa wa kem utuba usuro ucokoro uwe loyis nan ka ino uwe Afiniki. Mahem ma cikianyimo awe.
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].
Agino ane ani binyo binumbe sanzin nu ringi zi uwe agi katura unya Asere sa ara anyimo awe ige sawa kem uganiya sama tariwe taritum.
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.
Barka Asere daki anyan duru bibe bibi yau ba, anno u bari nan nu hem u meki unice.
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].
Barki anime kati ukunna'mui mubezi Ugomo Asere uru, me, Bulus, dee sama tirzame. Anyoguna ani me, cukuno innu rusa usi jassi barki uwuza utize ta Asere usuro ubar Asere.
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)
Asere ani aburan duru atita duru nan nu tita ulau, mawuzi igino me, da ihira abi wuza ba, anno ubara uni pum nume nan nurunta ume manyan duru ti numum a nyimo Ugomo Asere Yeso u hana utuba uganiya. (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!
Aname a poko ubura Asere ahira upokino unu buru uru Ugomo Asere Yeso, Ugomo Asere mani na aye in nu mara i wono makuru ma aye in nu bura uzatu mara sa ma bezi uwuza tize.
11 I was chosen {Christ chose me} to go as an apostle to many places and proclaim that message to people.
Barki agino me, azaukam unatize ta Asere, akadura a unudungara uhana anu zatu urusa utize ta Asere.
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].
Barki bi nyo bigino me in zinnu sa i jassi ati mumum tiginome, daki makunna mu i ba, barki inrusame, desa mahem ni, ma nya iruba madi rusi u oro imunbe sa wito me uhana u wui gino me.
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].
Oriso kadura kahuma sawa kunna a hira am, ahira unya iruba nan nu hem sa u anyimo Ugomo Yeso.
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].
Imum ihuma sa Asere a inkoweni, korso ini usuro ubibe bilau, sa bi ciki anyimo aru.
15 You know that [almost] all [the believers] in Asia [province] have (turned away from/abandoned) me, including Phygelus and Hermogenes.
Hu rusa, vat anu sawa ciki u Asiya wagamirkam inna maru, anyimo ani gome Fijalas maran nan Harmajalas.
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]).
Aca Ugomo Asere mawuzi ahana Onisifaras ubenki, barki mazin maro muwu um kadtuma, madakun me mu i mu tizin tumba.
17 On the contrary, when he came here to Rome, he diligently searched for me until he found me.
Inguna anime, uganiya mara u Roma, kadure manyarum maku kem.
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.
Ceki Ugomo Asere muwu makem ubenki u suro a me uwui uginome, vat tina sata bemkum ama nyan ga ma Afisa, i rusa lau.
