2 Timotheo 1
1 Paulo umuteme wa Yesu Kristo mkwenda kwa Nyamuanga, ukulubhana na omulago ogwobhuanga bhunu mbuli Mkristo Yesu.
Paul, an Apostle of Christ Jesus, by the will of God, for proclaiming the promise of the Life which is in Christ Jesus:
2 Kutimotheo omwana wani omwendwa echigongo, okusasilwa na omulembe okusoka kulata Nyamuanga na Kristo omukulu weswe.
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 Enimusima Nyamuanga unu enimukolela kumwoyo omwelu lwakutyo bhakolela bhalata nikechuka mwisabhwa lyani lya siku chona mungeta na mumwisi. enenda okukulola koleleki likondelelwa lifule,
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 enichuka amasikao kao.
being always mindful of your tears, and longing to see you that I may be filled with joy.
5 Nikechuka ukulubhana na elikilisha lliyo likomee kubhwambilo likae ku kaka wanyu Loisi na kunya kumwana wao Yunisi ninaechimali kulikilisha linu likae kwao.
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 Inu niyo injuno yo kukwichukisha okukungilisha echiyanwa cha Nyamuanga echochilimunda yaokunjila yokotelwako amabhoko ngani.
For this reason let me remind you to rekindle God's gift which is yours through the laying on of my hands.
7 Kokubha Nyamuanga atachianile omwanyo ngwo bhubha, nawe amanaga nelyenda lyabhumunu.
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 Kulwenjo wasiga kulola jiswalo ingulu yo bhubhambhasi bwa Lata bungenyi weswe. Nawe chikumanye munyako kulwemisango ja Nyamuanga kwenganiliye nobhutulo bwa Nyamuanga.
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 Nyamuanga achiluye nachibhilikila no obhuluka obhulengelesi. Atakolele kutwo okulinganilila nemilimu jeswe nokwingana, nechigongo na libhwi sombosi bhwae omwene. Achianile emisango jinu omwanya kuchali kwamba ku Yesu. (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 Mbhe nawe oli omwilulo ngwa Nyamuanga ngwamalile okufundulwa, okuja kumwilusi weswe Yesu Kristo, ni Yesu Kristo oyo abhutuye olufu nokuleta obhuwanga bhunu bhutanabhutelo kubhwelu bhwa Iinjili.
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 Kwa isonga nasolelwe okubha mulasha, omutumwa na omwikilisha.
of which I have been appointed a preacher, Apostle and teacher, to the Gentiles.
12 Kwa injuno heyo nanyakike ona, nawe ndakulola swalo okubhanye nimenyele unu ndamalile okwikilisha. Nine chimali omwene katula okubhika chinu angabhiye okukinga olusiku luliya.
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 Wichuke emisango chbhulengelesi jinu wonguwe okusoka kwaye, amwi nomulembe ngwelyenda ngunu ngulimu Yesu Kristo.
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 Ubhike emisango jakisi jinu wayanilwe na ekae kwese.
That precious treasure which is in your charge, guard through the Holy Spirit who has His home in our hearts.
15 Oumenya lwakutwo, abhanu bhanu bhenyajile Muesha bhasingile mulikofyanya elyo bhalimoFigilo na Hemogene.
Of this you are aware, that all the Christians in Roman Asia have deserted me: and among them Phygelus and Hermogenes.
16 Rata aisasile inyumba ya onesiforo kwo kubha ngendo nyafu akondelesishe na atajiswaliliye amasika ngani.
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 Mbe nawe, olwo alinga Roma anyingile kwa managa ngona nabhona.
Nay, when he was here in Rome, he took great pains to inquire where I was living, and at last he found me.
18 Nyamuanga amwijusishe libhando okwiswalila okusoka kumwenene olusiku luliya. Lwakutyo asakiye anu nalinga nili Efeso awe umenyele kisi.
(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.
