< 2 Timothy 1 >

1 To Timothy, my dear Child, from Paul who, by the will of God, is an Apostle of Christ Jesus, charged to proclaim the Life that comes from union with Christ Jesus.
Paulo n'tume ghwa Yesu Kristu kwa mapenzi gha K'yara, sabhwa ni ahadi sya uzima bhwabhujhele mugati mwa Kristu Yesu,
2 May God, the Father, and Christ Jesus, our Lord, bless you, and be merciful to you, and give you peace.
kwa Timotheo mwana n'ganwa: Neema, rehema ni amani kuhoma kwa K'yara Dadi jhitu ni Kristu Yesu Bwana bhitu.
3 I am thankful to God, whom I serve, as my ancestors did, with a clear conscience, when I remember you, as I never fail to do, in my prayers — night and day alike,
Nikan'shukuru K'yara, ambajhe nikan'tumikila kwa nia jhinofu kama kyabhabhombili bhadadi jhangu, panikhomboka daima mu maombi ghangu. Kiru ni
4 as I think of your tears, longing to see you, that my happiness may be completed,
pamusi ninoghela kubhona, ili kwamba nimemanyi ni furaha. Nikaghakhomboka mahosi gha jhobhi.
5 now that I have been reminded of the sincere faith that you have shown. That faith was seen first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and is now, I am convinced, in you also.
Nikajha nikhombosibhwa kuhusu imani jha jhobhi halisi, ambajho apu kwanza jhatamili kwa mbuyuakhu Loisi ni nyinuakhu Yunisi. Na nijhe ni hakika kujha imani ejhu jhitama mugati mwa bhebhe kabhele.
6 And that is my reason for reminding you to stir into flame that gift of God, which is yours through your ordination at my hands.
Ejhe ndo sababu nikukhomb'osya kujhingesya karama jha K'yara jhajhijhele mugati mwa bhebhe kwa nj'ela jha kubhekibhwa mabhoko gha nene.
7 For the Spirit which God gave us was not a spirit of cowardice, but a spirit of power, love, and self-control.
Kwa kujha K'yara atupelili lepi roho jha bhuogha bali jha nghofu ni litengo.
8 Do not, therefore, be ashamed of the testimony which we have to bear to our Lord, nor yet of me who am a prisoner for him; but join with me in suffering for the Good News, as far as God enables you.
Henu usibhubhoneli agha bhushuhuda kuhusu Bwana bhitu, bhwala bhwa nene Paulo mfungwa ghwa muene. Bali ushirikiajhi malombosi kwandabha jha injili sabhwa ni bhuweza bhwa K'yara.
9 It was God who saved us, and from him we received our solemn Call — not as a reward for anything that we had done, but in fulfilment of his own loving purpose. For that love was extended to us, through Christ Jesus, before time began, (aiōnios g166)
Ndo K'yara jhaatuokwili ni kutukuta kwa bhwito bhutakatifu. Abhombilepi naha kulengana ni mahengu gha tete bali kulengana ni neema ni mpango bhwa muene. Atupelili mambo agha kwa Kristu Yesu kabla jha nyakati kubhuanja. (aiōnios g166)
10 and has now been made apparent through the Appearing of our Saviour, Christ Jesus; who has made an end of Death, and has brought Life and Immortality to light by that Good News,
Lakini henu bhwokovu bhwa K'yara ufunulibhu kwa kuhida kwa mwokozi ghitu Yesu Kristu. Ndo Kristu jha aghakomisi mauti ni kuleta bhusima bhwabhubeli kukoma kwa nuru jha injili.
11 of which I was myself appointed a Herald and Apostle, and Teacher.
Kwa ndabha ejhu nachagulibhu kujha muhubiri, mtume ni mwalimu.
12 That is why I am undergoing these sufferings; yet I feel no shame, for I know in whom I have put my faith, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him until ‘That Day.’
Kwandabha ejhe niteseka kabhele, lakini nibhonalepi soni kwandabha nimmanyili muene jhanimalikun'kiera. Nijhe ni bhuhakika kujha muene ibhwesya kukitunza khela kyanikikabidhi kwa muene hata ligono lela.
13 Keep before you, as an example of sound teaching, all that you learnt from me as you listened with that faith and love which come from union with Christ Jesus.
Ukombokajhi mfanu bhwa ujumbe bhwa uaminifu bhwauupeliki kuhomela kwa nene, pamonga ni imani ni upendo bhwabhujhele mugati mwa Kristu Yesu.
14 Guard by the help of the Holy Spirit, who is within us, the glorious trust that has been committed to you.
Ghatunzajhi mambo manofu ghaakukabisi K'yara kup'etela Roho Mtakatifu jhaitama mugati mwa tete.
15 You know, of course, that all our friends in Roman Asia turned their backs on me, and among them Phygellus and Hermogenes.
Umanyili kujha bhabhatama Asia bhanilekhili. Mulikundi e'le bhajhele Figelo ni Hemogene.
16 May the Lord show mercy to the household of Onesiphorus; for he often cheered me and was not ashamed of my chains.
Bwana airehemuajhi nyumba jha Onesiforo kwa kujha mara nyimehele aniburudisi na ajhibhonili lepi soni minyororo ghya nene.
17 On the contrary, when he arrived in Rome, he sought eagerly for me till he found me.
Badala jhiake, bho ajhe Roma anilondili kwa bidii nesu ni kunikabha.
18 The Lord grant that he may find mercy at the hands of the Lord on ‘That Day.’ The many services that he rendered at Ephesus you have the best means of knowing.
K'yara an'tangatilayi kukabha rehema kuhoma kwa muene ligono lela. Kama kyaanitangatili bhonijhele Efeso, bhebhe umanyili kinofu.
