2 Timoti 1
1 Pọl, onyeozi Kraịst Jisọs, dị ka uche Chineke si dị, na dị ka nkwa ndụ nʼime Kraịst Jisọs si dị,
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life that is in Christ Jesus,
2 Nye gị Timoti, ezi nwa m. Ka amara, na ebere na udo nke sitere na Chineke bụ Nna, na Kraịst Jisọs Onyenwe anyị dịrị gị.
to dear son Timothy: Grace, mercy, peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 Ana m ekele Chineke, bụ onye m na-ejere ozi ekele, dị ka nna nna m ha mere site nʼakọnuche dị ọcha, ọtụtụ mgbe ka m na-echeta gị nʼekpere m ehihie na abalị.
I give thanks to God, whom I serve with a clear conscience like my forefathers did, as I constantly remember you in my prayers, night and day,
4 Ka m na-echeta anya mmiri gị, ọ na-agụsị m agụụ ike ehihie na abalị ịhụ gị, ka ọṅụ m zuo oke.
longing to see you (recalling your tears), that I may be filled with joy;
5 Emere m ka m cheta okwukwe ihu abụọ nʼadịghị nke i nwere, bụ okwukwe nke burii ụzọ dịrị nʼime nne nne gị Lọịsi, bịa dịkwa nʼime nne gị Yunaịsi. Emere ka m kwenye na otu okwukwe ahụ dịkwa nʼime gị.
while I call to mind the unfeigned faith that is in you—it resided first in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, in you also.
6 Nʼihi nke a, achọrọ m ichetara gị ka i mee ka onyinye Chineke ahụ i nwere na-enwu dị ka ọkụ, bụ nke i natara mgbe m bikwasịrị gị aka m abụọ nʼisi.
For this reason I am reminding you to rekindle the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.
7 Nʼihi na Chineke enyeghị anyị mmụọ ịtụ ụjọ, kama o nyere anyị mmụọ na-emejupụta anyị nʼike, na ịhụnanya, na uche zuruoke.
Because God did not give us a spirit of cowardice, but of power and of love and of self-control.
8 Ihere emela gị ikwupụta ama banyere Onyenwe anyị maọbụ banyere m bụ onye mkpọrọ ya. Kama, site nʼike Chineke, soro m hụọ ahụhụ nʼihi oziọma ahụ.
So do not be ashamed to identify with our Lord or with me His prisoner, but join in suffering for the Gospel according to the power of God
9 Ọ zọpụtara anyị, kpọbata anyị na ndụ dị nsọ. Ọ bụghị nʼihi na anyị kwesiri ka a kpọọ anyị, kama, ọ bụ nʼihi nzube ya na amara ya. E nyere anyị amara nʼime Kraịst Jisọs tupu a tọọ ntọala ụwa a. (aiōnios g166)
—the One who saved us and called us with a holy calling, not because of our works but because of His own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began, (aiōnios g166)
10 Ugbu a, o meela ka ihe niile o zubere pụta ìhè site nʼọbịbịa Onye nzọpụta anyị Jisọs Kraịst, onye lara ike ọnwụ nʼiyi, zi anyị ụzọ anyị ga-esi nwee ndụ ebighị ebi site nʼoziọma ahụ.
but has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior, Jesus Christ, who by means of the Gospel destroyed the death and brought life and immortality to light;
11 Nʼihi oziọma a, ahọpụtara m ka m bụrụ onye na-ekwusa oziọma a, na onyeozi, na onye nkuzi.
to this Gospel I was appointed as a proclaimer, an apostle and a teacher of nations.
12 Ọ bụkwa nʼihi nke a ka m ji na-ahụ ahụhụ ndị a nʼebe a, ma nʼeziokwu, ihere adịghị eme m, nʼihi na amaara m onye m na-atụkwasị obi, amakwaara m nke ọma, na o nwere ike ichebe ihe niile m nyere ya nʼaka idebe tutu ruo ụbọchị ahụ.
That is why I am suffering these things, yet I am not ashamed because I know in whom I have believed and am certain that He is able to guard my deposit until that Day.
13 Jidesie eziokwu ahụ aka ike, ụdị eziokwu ahụ mụ onwe m ziri gị, eziokwu ahụ gbasara okwukwe ahụ, na ịhụnanya ahụ dị nʼime Kraịst Jisọs.
Hold fast the standard of sound teaching that you heard from me, through the faith and love in Christ Jesus.
14 Chezie onyinye ọma ahụ e sitere nʼaka Mmụọ Nsọ bi nʼime gị nye gị idebe.
Guard the good deposit by the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.
15 Dị ka i maara, ndị niile si nʼEshịa bịa nʼebe a agbakụtala m azụ. Ọ bụladị Faigelọs na Hamogịnịs ahapụla m laa.
This you know, that all those in Asia have been turned away from me, including Phygellus and Hermogenes.
16 Ka Onyenwe anyị mere ezinaụlọ Onisiferọs ebere, nʼihi ume ọ gbara m ọtụtụ mgbe. Ihere emeghị ya na-abụ m onye mkpọrọ.
May the Lord grant mercy to the household of Onesiphorus, because he often refreshed me and was not ashamed of my chain;
17 Mgbe ọ bịaruru Rom, ọ chọgharịrị m nʼebe niile, ma nʼikpeazụ, ọ chọtara m.
rather, when he arrived in Rome he searched diligently for me until he found me
18 Ka Onyenwe anyị kwe ka ọ nata ebere nʼaka Onyenwe anyị nʼụbọchị ahụ. Ị mara nke ọma ụdị aka o nyere m nʼEfesọs.
(may the Lord grant to him to find mercy from the Lord in that Day); you also know very well in how many ways he served in Ephesus.
