< 2 Timotheo 1 >

1 Nĩ niĩ Paũlũ, mũtũmwo wa Kristũ Jesũ nĩ ũndũ wa kwenda kwa Ngai. Ndatũmirwo nĩ Ngai kũringana na kĩĩranĩro kĩa muoyo ũrĩa ũrĩ thĩinĩ wa Kristũ Jesũ,
Paul, an Apostle of Jesus Christ by the purpose of God, in the hope of the life which is in Christ Jesus,
2 Ndakwandĩkĩra wee Timotheo, o we mũrũ wakwa nyendete mũno: Wega, na tha, na thayũ kuuma kũrĩ Ngai Ithe witũ, na Kristũ Jesũ Mwathani witũ, irogĩa nawe.
To Timothy, my well-loved child: Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 Nĩnjookagĩria Ngai ngaatho, ũrĩa niĩ ndungatagĩra ndĩ na thamiri ĩtarĩ na ũcuuke, o ta ũrĩa maithe makwa ma tene meekaga, o ngĩkũririkanaga hĩndĩ ciothe ũtukũ na mũthenya, mahooya-inĩ makwa itegũtigithĩria.
I give praise to God, whose servant I have been, with a heart free from sin, from the time of my fathers, because in my prayers at all times the thought of you is with me, night and day
4 Nĩndĩĩriragĩria mũno gũkuona, ndaririkana maithori maku, nĩgeetha njiyũrwo nĩ gĩkeno.
Desiring to see you, keeping in my memory your weeping, so that I may be full of joy;
5 Nĩndirikanĩtio ũhoro wa wĩtĩkio waku ũrĩa ũtarĩ ũhinga, o ta ũrĩa watũire na cũguo Loisi, na nyũkwa Eunike, na rĩu nĩnjĩtĩkĩtie atĩ wĩtĩkio ũcio ũrĩ o thĩinĩ waku.
Having in mind your true faith, which first was in your mother's mother Lois, and in your mother Eunice, and, I am certain, is now in you.
6 Nĩ ũndũ wa gĩtũmi gĩkĩ nĩngũkũririkania atĩ ũhuhagĩrĩrie kĩheo kĩrĩa ũheetwo nĩ Ngai, kĩrĩa wagĩire nakĩo rĩrĩa ndakũigĩrĩire moko.
For this reason I say to you, Let that grace of God which is in you, given to you by my hands, have living power.
7 Nĩgũkorwo Ngai ndaatũheire roho wa gũtwĩkagĩra guoya, no aatũheire roho wa gũtwĩkĩra hinya, na wa wendani, na wa ũũgĩ wa kwĩnyiita maũndũ-inĩ mothe.
For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of self-control.
8 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ndũkanaconoke ũkiumbũra ũira wa Mwathani witũ, kana ũconoke nĩ ũndũ wakwa niĩ njohetwo nĩ ũndũ wake. No nyiitanĩra na niĩ kũnyariirwo nĩ ũndũ wa Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega, nĩ ũndũ nĩũrĩheagwo hinya nĩ Ngai.
Have no feeling of shame, then, for the witness of our Lord or for me, his prisoner: but undergo all things for the good news in the measure of the power of God;
9 Ngai nĩwe watũhonokirie na agĩtwĩtĩra mũtũũrĩre mũtheru, ti tondũ wa ũndũ twĩkĩte, no nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa aatanyĩte gwĩka na nĩ ũndũ wa wega wake. Twaheirwo wega ũyũ thĩinĩ wa Kristũ Jesũ mbere ya kĩambĩrĩria gĩa thĩ, (aiōnios g166)
Who gave us salvation, marking us out for his purpose, not on account of our works, but in the measure of his purpose and his grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before times eternal, (aiōnios g166)
10 no wega ũcio rĩu nĩũguũranĩirio nĩ ũndũ wa kuonekana kwa Mũhonokia witũ, Kristũ Jesũ, ũrĩa waniinire gĩkuũ, na akĩrehe muoyo o na ũhoro wa kwaga kũbutha akĩũiga ũtheri-inĩ nĩ ũndũ wa Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega.
But has now been made clear by the revelation of our Saviour Christ Jesus, who put an end to death and made life unending come to light through the good news,
11 Na nĩ ũndũ wa Ũhoro-ũcio-Mwega-rĩ, nĩndamũrirwo nduĩke mũhunjia, na mũtũmwo, na mũrutani waguo.
Of which I was made a preacher and an Apostle and a teacher;
12 Ũhoro ũcio nĩguo ũtũmĩte nyamarĩke ũguo. No ndiconokaga, tondũ ũrĩa niĩ njĩtĩkĩtie nĩndĩmũũĩ, na ndĩ na ma atĩ arĩ na ũhoti wa kũgitĩra kĩrĩa ndĩmwĩhokeire o nginya rĩrĩa mũthenya ũcio ũgaakinya.
And for which I undergo these things: but I have no feeling of shame. For I have knowledge of him in whom I have faith, and I am certain that he is able to keep that which I have given into his care till that day.
13 Rũmia ũhoro ũrĩa waiguire kuuma kũrĩ niĩ, ũrĩ kĩonereria kĩa ũrutani mwega, ũrĩ na wĩtĩkio na wendani thĩinĩ wa Kristũ Jesũ.
Keep the form of those true words which you had from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
14 Menyerera ũndũ ũrĩa mwega ũrĩa wehokeirwo, na ũũmenyerere ũteithĩtio nĩ Roho Mũtheru ũrĩa ũikaraga thĩinĩ witũ.
That good thing which was given to you keep safe, through the Holy Spirit which is in us.
15 Wee nĩũĩ atĩ andũ othe thĩinĩ wa bũrũri wa Asia nĩmandiganĩirie, o hamwe na Fugelo, na Herimogene.
You have had news that all those in Asia went away from me; among whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes:
16 Mwathani aroiguĩra andũ a nyũmba ya Onesiforo tha tondũ aananyamarũra kaingĩ na ndaconokire nĩ ũndũ wakwa kuohwo na mĩnyororo.
May the Lord give mercy to the house of Onesiphorus because he frequently gave me help, and had no feeling of shame because I was in chains;
17 Nowe, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ookire Roma, nĩanjaririe na kĩyo o nginya akĩnyona.
But when he was in Rome, he went in search of me everywhere, and came to me
18 Mwathani aroĩtĩkĩra atĩ akaaiguĩrwo tha nĩ Mwathani mũthenya ũcio wakinya! Wee nĩũĩ wega mũno ũrĩa aandeithirie na njĩra nyingĩ rĩrĩa ndaarĩ Efeso.
(May he have the Lord's mercy in that day); and of all he did for me at Ephesus you have full knowledge.
