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.
Une che Paolo nduna jwa Kilisito Yesu, kwa kusaka Akunnungu uŵasagwile une kuti nyenesye chilanga cha umi watulinawo nkulumbikana ni Kilisito Yesu.
2 May God, the Father, and Christ Jesus, our Lord, bless you, and be merciful to you, and give you peace.
Ngunnembela mmwe che Timoseo mwanangu jwaunonyelo. Ngunsachila umbone ni chanasa ni chitendewele kutyochela kwa Akunnungu Atati ni kwa Ambuje ŵetu Kilisito Yesu.
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,
Ngwatogolela Akunnungu ungwatumichila kwa ntima waukuunosya kuti jwangali chileŵo mpela iŵatite achambuje ŵetu, ngwatogolela Akunnungu kila pangunkumbuchila mmapopelo gangu muusi ni chilo.
4 as I think of your tears, longing to see you, that my happiness may be completed,
Ngujikumbuchila misosi jenu, ngulajila kwannope kummona kuti ng'umbaswe lukondwa.
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.
Nguchikumbuchila chikulupi chisyenesyene chachili mwenumwe, chikulupi chakwete anganga ŵenu che Loisi ni iyoyopeyo achikulu ŵenu che Eunike. Isyene nguimanyilila kuti nomwe nkwete.
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.
Kwa ligongo lyo ngunkumbusya kuti nkwisile ntuuka wa Akunnungu wauli nkati mwenu umwapochele panansajichile makono gangu.
7 For the Spirit which God gave us was not a spirit of cowardice, but a spirit of power, love, and self-control.
Pakuŵa Mbumu jwatupele Akunnungu ngaŵa jwakututenda tuŵe ŵakogopa, ngwamba, nambo ali Mbumu jwao jwakutupa machili ni unonyelo ni ntima wa kulisiŵila.
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.
Ngasinkola soni nkwasalila ŵandu ŵane umboni wa ngani sya Ambuje ŵetu atamuno nkakola soni kwanguune jwandaŵikwe kwa ligongo lyao. Nambo mme pamo none nkulaga kwa ligongo lya Ngani Jambone malinga ni machili gampegwilwe ni Akunnungu.
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)
Ŵelewo ŵatukulupwisye ni kutuŵilanga kuti tuŵe ŵandu ŵakwe, ngaŵa kwa isambo yetu yambone itwaitesile, nambo kwa ligongo lya kusaka kwao asyene ni kwa umbone wao. Ni ŵatupele umbone wao kwa litala lya Kilisito Yesu chitandilile moŵa gose pangali mbesi. (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,
Nambo sambano umbone wa Akunnungu uwunukulikwe kwa kwika kwakwe Nkulupusyo jwetu, Kilisito Yesu. Ŵelewo agapundile machili ga chiwa ni kwa litala lya Ngani Jambone atuwunukulile umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi.
11 of which I was myself appointed a Herald and Apostle, and Teacher.
Kwayele une nasagulikwe ni Akunnungu kuti me nduna ni jwakwiganya kwa ligongo lya kwalalichila ŵandu Ngani Jambone.
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.’
Kwa ligongo lya yele ngusauka ni indu yi. Nambo ngangujogopa kwa ligongo lya yele pakuŵa ngwamanyilila ŵelewo unakulupilile ni ngumanyilila kusyene kuti akukombola kuchigosa achila chiŵambele mpaka lyuŵa lichauje.
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.
Mgakamulichisye majiganyo ga usyenesyene gananjiganyisye, mu chikulupi ni unonyelo wauli nkulumbikana ni Kilisito Yesu.
14 Guard by the help of the Holy Spirit, who is within us, the glorious trust that has been committed to you.
Mchigose yambone chimpegwile kwa ukamuchisyo wa Mbumu jwa Akunnungu jwakutama mwetuwe.
15 You know, of course, that all our friends in Roman Asia turned their backs on me, and among them Phygellus and Hermogenes.
Mpela inkuti pakuimanyilila kuti ŵandu achajinji wa kuchilambo cha Asia anesile, mwa ŵele apali che Fugelo ni che Helimogene.
16 May the Lord show mercy to the household of Onesiphorus; for he often cheered me and was not ashamed of my chains.
Ambuje ŵatendele chanasa ŵandu ŵa pannango u che Onesifolo, pakuŵa ŵausengwasisye ntima wangu katema kakajinji kwa kwika kukumona. Ni nganijatenda soni kwa chitaŵiko changu.
17 On the contrary, when he arrived in Rome, he sought eagerly for me till he found me.
Katema paŵaiche ku Loma ŵatandite kusosasosa kwannope mpaka ŵasimene.
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.
Ngwachondelela Ambuje ŵatendele chanasa che Onesifolo pa lyuŵa lya kulamulikwa! Nomwe nkuimanyilila yambone iŵandendele une ku Efeso kula.
