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, by the will of God, for proclaiming 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 dearly-loved child. May grace, mercy and peace be granted to you 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 with a pure conscience--as my forefathers did--that night and day I unceasingly remember you in my prayers,
4 Nĩndĩĩriragĩria mũno gũkuona, ndaririkana maithori maku, nĩgeetha njiyũrwo nĩ gĩkeno.
being always mindful of your tears, and longing to see you 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.
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.
6 Nĩ ũndũ wa gĩtũmi gĩkĩ nĩngũkũririkania atĩ ũhuhagĩrĩrie kĩheo kĩrĩa ũheetwo nĩ Ngai, kĩrĩa wagĩire nakĩo rĩrĩa ndakũigĩrĩire moko.
For this reason let me remind you to rekindle God's gift which is yours 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 the Spirit which God has given us is not a spirit of cowardice, but one of power and of love and of sound judgement.
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.
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.
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)
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)
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 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,
11 Na nĩ ũndũ wa Ũhoro-ũcio-Mwega-rĩ, nĩndamũrirwo nduĩke mũhunjia, na mũtũmwo, na mũrutani waguo.
of which I have been appointed a preacher, Apostle and teacher, to the Gentiles.
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.
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.
13 Rũmia ũhoro ũrĩa waiguire kuuma kũrĩ niĩ, ũrĩ kĩonereria kĩa ũrutani mwega, ũrĩ na wĩtĩkio na wendani thĩinĩ wa Kristũ Jesũ.
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.
14 Menyerera ũndũ ũrĩa mwega ũrĩa wehokeirwo, na ũũmenyerere ũteithĩtio nĩ Roho Mũtheru ũrĩa ũikaraga thĩinĩ witũ.
That precious treasure which is in your charge, guard through the Holy Spirit who has His home in our hearts.
15 Wee nĩũĩ atĩ andũ othe thĩinĩ wa bũrũri wa Asia nĩmandiganĩirie, o hamwe na Fugelo, na Herimogene.
Of this you are aware, that all the Christians in Roman Asia have deserted me: and among them 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 show mercy to the household of Onesiphorus; for many a time he cheered me and he was not ashamed of my chain.
17 Nowe, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ookire Roma, nĩanjaririe na kĩyo o nginya akĩnyona.
Nay, when he was here in Rome, he took great pains to inquire where I was living, and at last he 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 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.
