< 2 Timothy 1 >

1 Paul, an Apostle of Christ Jesus, by the will of God, for proclaiming the promise of the Life which is in 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 To Timothy my dearly-loved child. May grace, mercy and peace be granted to you from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
Ngunnembela mmwe che Timoseo mwanangu jwaunonyelo. Ngunsachila umbone ni chanasa ni chitendewele kutyochela kwa Akunnungu Atati ni kwa Ambuje ŵetu Kilisito Yesu.
3 I thank God, whom I serve with a pure conscience--as my forefathers did--that night and day I unceasingly remember you in my prayers,
Ngwatogolela Akunnungu ungwatumichila kwa ntima waukuunosya kuti jwangali chileŵo mpela iŵatite achambuje ŵetu, ngwatogolela Akunnungu kila pangunkumbuchila mmapopelo gangu muusi ni chilo.
4 being always mindful of your tears, and longing to see you that I may be filled with joy.
Ngujikumbuchila misosi jenu, ngulajila kwannope kummona kuti ng'umbaswe lukondwa.
5 For I recall the sincere faith which is in your heart--a faith which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and then in your mother Eunice, and, I am fully convinced, now dwells 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 For this reason let me remind you to rekindle God's gift which is yours through the laying on of my hands.
Kwa ligongo lyo ngunkumbusya kuti nkwisile ntuuka wa Akunnungu wauli nkati mwenu umwapochele panansajichile makono gangu.
7 For the Spirit which God has given us is not a spirit of cowardice, but one of power and of love and of sound judgement.
Pakuŵa Mbumu jwatupele Akunnungu ngaŵa jwakututenda tuŵe ŵakogopa, ngwamba, nambo ali Mbumu jwao jwakutupa machili ni unonyelo ni ntima wa kulisiŵila.
8 Do not be ashamed then to bear witness for our Lord and for me His prisoner; but rather share suffering with me in the service of the Good News, strengthened by the power of God.
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 For He saved us and called us with a holy call, not in accordance with our desserts, but in accordance with His own purpose and the free grace which He bestowed on us in Christ Jesus before the commencement of the Ages, (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 but which has now been plainly revealed through the Appearing of our Saviour, Christ Jesus. He has put an end to death and has brought Life and Immortality to light through the 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 have been appointed a preacher, Apostle and teacher, to the Gentiles.
Kwayele une nasagulikwe ni Akunnungu kuti me nduna ni jwakwiganya kwa ligongo lya kwalalichila ŵandu Ngani Jambone.
12 That indeed is the reason why I suffer as I do. But I am not ashamed, for I know in whom my trust reposes, and I am confident that He has it in His power to keep what I have entrusted to Him safe 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 Provide yourself with an outline of the sound teaching which you have heard from my lips, and be true to the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.
Mgakamulichisye majiganyo ga usyenesyene gananjiganyisye, mu chikulupi ni unonyelo wauli nkulumbikana ni Kilisito Yesu.
14 That precious treasure which is in your charge, guard through the Holy Spirit who has His home in our hearts.
Mchigose yambone chimpegwile kwa ukamuchisyo wa Mbumu jwa Akunnungu jwakutama mwetuwe.
15 Of this you are aware, that all the Christians in Roman Asia have deserted me: and among them Phygelus 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 many a time he cheered me and he was not ashamed of my chain.
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 Nay, when he was here in Rome, he took great pains to inquire where I was living, and at last he found me.
Katema paŵaiche ku Loma ŵatandite kusosasosa kwannope mpaka ŵasimene.
18 (The Lord grant that he may obtain mercy at His hands on that day!) And you yourself well know all the services which he rendered me in Ephesus.
Ngwachondelela Ambuje ŵatendele chanasa che Onesifolo pa lyuŵa lya kulamulikwa! Nomwe nkuimanyilila yambone iŵandendele une ku Efeso kula.
