[I], Paul, [am writing this letter. I am] an apostle whom Christ Jesus chose so that I would do what God wanted. He chose me [to tell people that God] has promised [that they will] live [eternally] as a result of their having a close relationship with Christ Jesus.

[I am writing to you], Timothy, whom I love [as if you were] my own son. [I pray that] God our Father and Christ Jesus our Lord will [continue to act] kindly to you, be merciful to you, and [cause you to have] inner peace,
3 Na gode wa Allah wanda nake bauta wa, kamar yadda kakanni-kakannina suka yi da lamiri mai tsabta, yadda kullum dare da rana ina tuna da ku a cikin addu’o’ina.
I thank God [for all that he has done for you]. I serve him, and my ancestors [served him, too. I serve him] in a manner that I know to be right. [I thank him] while repeatedly I [pray for you] at night and during the day.
4 Sa’ad da na tuna da hawayenka, nakan yi marmarin ganinka, don in cika da farin ciki.
[While I am thanking God for you], I very much want to see you because I remember how you cried [MTY] [when we separated. I want to see you] in order that I may be (filled with joy/very happy).
5 An tunashe ni da sahihiyar bangaskiyarka, wadda a farko ta kasance a cikin kakarka Loyis da kuma mahaifiyarka Yunis yanzu kuwa na tabbata tana cikinka.
[I thank God because] I remember that you sincerely believe [in Christ Jesus]. First, your grandmother, Lois, and your mother, Eunice, [believed in him and], I am (convinced/very sure) that you also believe in him.
6 Saboda haka, ina so in faɗakar da kai, ka lura baiwan nan ta Allah, wadda take tare da kai ta wurin ɗibiya maka hannuwana.
Because [I am sure that you believe in him], I remind you to do fervently/wholeheartedly [MET] what God has (assigned for/appointed) you to do and what he has enabled you to do. [God] ([assigned for/appointed]) you to do it as a result of my putting my hands [on you to show/indicate that he had chosen you to do his work].
7 Gama Allah bai ba mu ruhun tsoro ba, sai dai ruhun iko, na ƙauna da kuma na kamunkai.
Remember that God has put [his Spirit] within us. [His Spirit does not cause us to be] afraid. Instead, [he causes us to be] powerful [to work for God], and he helps us to love [others] and [to] control what we say and do.
8 Saboda haka kada ka ji kunyar ba da shaida game da Ubangijinmu, ko kuwa ka ji kunyata, ni da nake ɗan sarƙa saboda shi. Sai dai ka haɗa kai tare da ni cikin shan wahala saboda bishara ta wurin ikon Allah,
So never be ashamed/reluctant to tell others the message about our Lord. And do not [be ashamed] of me, [even though I am] a prisoner [because I preach about] him. Instead, [be willing to] suffer as I do as you proclaim the message about Christ. [Endure what you will suffer] by letting God empower [you to endure it].
9 wanda ya cece mu ya kuma kira mu ga rayuwar tsarki ba saboda wani abin da muka yi ba sai dai saboda nufinsa da kuma alherinsa. An ba mu wannan alheri cikin Kiristi Yesu tun fil azal, (aiōnios g166)
[God] saved us and chose us to conduct our lives in a pure way. It was not our doing good deeds/actions [that caused him to do this for us—something] that we did not deserve. Instead, before (time began/he created the world) he purposed/planned to [be kind to us] as a result of what Christ Jesus [would do for us]. (aiōnios g166)
10 amma yanzu an bayyana ta ta wurin bayyanuwar Mai Cetonmu, Kiristi Yesu, wanda ya hallaka mutuwa ya kuma kawo rai da rashin mutuwa a sarari ta wurin bishara.
Now, as a result of our Savior Christ Jesus having come, it has been revealed {he has shown} [that he acts kindly toward us. Specifically, Christ Jesus] has declared that we [will not remain dead after we] die! He has also revealed that, as a result of [our hearing and accepting] the message [about Christ, we] will live [forever in bodies that will] not decay!
11 A wannan bishara ce, aka naɗa ni mai shela da manzo da kuma malami.
I was chosen {Christ chose me} to go as an apostle to many places and proclaim that message to people.

So, even though I suffer [here in this prison], I am not ashamed [of being here] (OR, I am very confident), because I know [Christ Jesus], the one whom I have trusted, and I am convinced/sure that he is able to keep safe the good message that he has entrusted to me (OR, the things that I have entrusted [to him]), and that he will reward me at the time [MTY] [when he comes again].
13 Abin da ka ji daga gare ni, ka kiyaye shi kamar tsarin sahihiyar koyarwa, cikin bangaskiya da ƙauna cikin Kiristi Yesu.
Be sure that you tell others the same correct message that you heard from me. [And as you tell it], keep trusting [in Christ Jesus] and keep loving [others] as Christ Jesus [enables you to do].
14 Ka kiyaye kyakkyawar ajiyan nan da aka danƙa maka amana, ka lura da ita da taimakon Ruhu Mai Tsarki wanda yake raye a cikinmu.
Do not let anyone persuade you to change the [good message that] God has entrusted/given to you. Allow the Holy Spirit who lives in us to [direct what you say].
15 Ka san cewa kowa a lardin Asiya ya juya mini baya, har da Figelus da Hermogenes.
You know that [almost] all [the believers] in Asia [province] have (turned away from/abandoned) me, including Phygelus and Hermogenes.
16 Bari Ubangiji yă yi wa iyalin Onesiforus jinƙai, domin sau da dama yakan wartsakar da ni, bai kuma ji kunyar sarƙoƙina ba.
[But I pray that] the Lord will be kind to the family of Onesiphorus for the following reasons: Often he cheered me up and, [even though] I was a prisoner [MTY], he was not ashamed (of me/[to admit he was] my [friend]).
17 A maimakon haka ma, sa’ad da yake a Roma, ya neme ni ido a rufe sai da ya same ni.
On the contrary, when he came here to Rome, he diligently searched for me until he found me.
18 Bari Ubangiji yă sa yă sami jinƙai daga Ubangiji a wancan ranar! Ka sani sarai yadda ya taimake ni a hanyoyi dabam-dabam a Afisa.
[I pray that] the Lord will be kind to him on that day [MTY] [when he, the Lord, will judge people]. And how much Onesiphorus served [me] in Ephesus [city], you know very well.
