< 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 through the will of God, according to the commandment of 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, peace from God our Father and Jesus Christ 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 thanks to God, whom I serve from my ancestors with a clean conscience, as I have incessant mention of you in my prayers, night and day
4 Nĩndĩĩriragĩria mũno gũkuona, ndaririkana maithori maku, nĩgeetha njiyũrwo nĩ gĩkeno.
longing to see you, remembering your tears, in order 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 received the remembrance of the unhypocritical faith which is in you; which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois, and your mother Eunice; and, I am persuaded that it is in you also.
6 Nĩ ũndũ wa gĩtũmi gĩkĩ nĩngũkũririkania atĩ ũhuhagĩrĩrie kĩheo kĩrĩa ũheetwo nĩ Ngai, kĩrĩa wagĩire nakĩo rĩrĩa ndakũigĩrĩire moko.
On account of which cause I remind you to revive and refire the gift of God which is in you by 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 has not given us the spirit of cowardice; but of power and divine love and prudence.
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 me his prisoner: but suffer affliction for the sake of the gospel 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 g166)
the one having 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 the eternal times, (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 now having been made manifest through the appearing of Jesus Christ our Saviour, the one having indeed destroyed death, and lighted up life and immortality through the gospel,
11 Na nĩ ũndũ wa Ũhoro-ũcio-Mwega-rĩ, nĩndamũrirwo nduĩke mũhunjia, na mũtũmwo, na mũrutani waguo.
unto which I have been placed a herald, and an apostle, and 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.
on account of which cause I indeed suffer these things: but I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to stand guard over that which is committed unto me unto 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 fast the form of sound words which you heard with me, in the faith and divine love which is in Christ Jesus:
14 Menyerera ũndũ ũrĩa mwega ũrĩa wehokeirwo, na ũũmenyerere ũteithĩtio nĩ Roho Mũtheru ũrĩa ũikaraga thĩinĩ witũ.
stand guard over the beautiful deposit through the Holy Ghost who dwells in us.
15 Wee nĩũĩ atĩ andũ othe thĩinĩ wa bũrũri wa Asia nĩmandiganĩirie, o hamwe na Fugelo, na Herimogene.
You know this, that all who are in Asia, of whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes have turned away from me.
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 family of Onesiphorus, because frequently he refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain,
17 Nowe, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ookire Roma, nĩanjaririe na kĩyo o nginya akĩnyona.
and, being in Rome, he diligently sought me, 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.
May the Lord grant unto him to find mercy with the Lord in that day. And so many things as he ministered in Ephesus, you know better.
