< 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 Christ Jesus through the will of God, according to the promise 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 beloved child: Grace, mercy, and 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 thank God, whom I serve as my forefathers did, with a pure conscience. How unceasing is my memory of you in my petitions, night and day
4 Nĩndĩĩriragĩria mũno gũkuona, ndaririkana maithori maku, nĩgeetha njiyũrwo nĩ gĩkeno.
longing to see you, remembering your tears, that I may be filled with 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 been reminded of the unfeigned faith that is in you; which lived first in your grandmother Lois, and your mother Eunice, and, I am persuaded, in you also.
6 Nĩ ũndũ wa gĩtũmi gĩkĩ nĩngũkũririkania atĩ ũhuhagĩrĩrie kĩheo kĩrĩa ũheetwo nĩ Ngai, kĩrĩa wagĩire nakĩo rĩrĩa ndakũigĩrĩire moko.
For this cause, I remind you that you should stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.
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 love and of a sound mind.
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.
Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner; but endure hardship for the Good News according to 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 )
who saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began, (aiōnios )
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 revealed by the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light through the Good News.
11 Na nĩ ũndũ wa Ũhoro-ũcio-Mwega-rĩ, nĩndamũrirwo nduĩke mũhunjia, na mũtũmwo, na mũrutani waguo.
For this, I was appointed a preacher, 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.
For this cause I also suffer these things. Yet I am not ashamed, for I know him whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to guard that which I have committed to him against that day.
13 Rũmia ũhoro ũrĩa waiguire kuuma kũrĩ niĩ, ũrĩ kĩonereria kĩa ũrutani mwega, ũrĩ na wĩtĩkio na wendani thĩinĩ wa Kristũ Jesũ.
Hold the pattern of sound words which you have heard 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 committed to you, guard through the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.
15 Wee nĩũĩ atĩ andũ othe thĩinĩ wa bũrũri wa Asia nĩmandiganĩirie, o hamwe na Fugelo, na Herimogene.
This you know, that all who are in Asia turned away from me; of 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 grant mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain,
17 Nowe, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ookire Roma, nĩanjaririe na kĩyo o nginya akĩnyona.
but when he was in Rome, he sought me diligently, and found me
18 Mwathani aroĩtĩkĩra atĩ akaaiguĩrwo tha nĩ Mwathani mũthenya ũcio wakinya! Wee nĩũĩ wega mũno ũrĩa aandeithirie na njĩra nyingĩ rĩrĩa ndaarĩ Efeso.
(the Lord grant to him to find the Lord's mercy in that day); and in how many things he served at Ephesus, you know very well.
