2 Timotheo 1
1 Paulo umuteme wa Yesu Kristo mkwenda kwa Nyamuanga, ukulubhana na omulago ogwobhuanga bhunu mbuli Mkristo Yesu.
To Timothy, my dear Child, from Paul who, by the will of God, is an Apostle of Christ Jesus, charged to proclaim the Life that comes from union with Christ Jesus.
2 Kutimotheo omwana wani omwendwa echigongo, okusasilwa na omulembe okusoka kulata Nyamuanga na Kristo omukulu weswe.
May God, the Father, and Christ Jesus, our Lord, bless you, and be merciful to you, and give you peace.
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 am thankful to God, whom I serve, as my ancestors did, with a clear conscience, when I remember you, as I never fail to do, in my prayers — night and day alike,
4 enichuka amasikao kao.
as I think of your tears, longing to see you, that my happiness may be completed,
5 Nikechuka ukulubhana na elikilisha lliyo likomee kubhwambilo likae ku kaka wanyu Loisi na kunya kumwana wao Yunisi ninaechimali kulikilisha linu likae kwao.
now that I have been reminded of the sincere faith that you have shown. That faith was seen first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and is now, I am convinced, in you also.
6 Inu niyo injuno yo kukwichukisha okukungilisha echiyanwa cha Nyamuanga echochilimunda yaokunjila yokotelwako amabhoko ngani.
And that is my reason for reminding you to stir into flame that gift of God, which is yours through your ordination at my hands.
7 Kokubha Nyamuanga atachianile omwanyo ngwo bhubha, nawe amanaga nelyenda lyabhumunu.
For the Spirit which God gave us was not a spirit of cowardice, but a spirit of power, love, and self-control.
8 Kulwenjo wasiga kulola jiswalo ingulu yo bhubhambhasi bwa Lata bungenyi weswe. Nawe chikumanye munyako kulwemisango ja Nyamuanga kwenganiliye nobhutulo bwa Nyamuanga.
Do not, therefore, be ashamed of the testimony which we have to bear to our Lord, nor yet of me who am a prisoner for him; but join with me in suffering for the Good News, as far as God enables you.
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)
It was God who saved us, and from him we received our solemn Call — not as a reward for anything that we had done, but in fulfilment of his own loving purpose. For that love was extended to us, through Christ Jesus, before time began, (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.
and has now been made apparent through the Appearing of our Saviour, Christ Jesus; who has made an end of Death, and has brought Life and Immortality to light by that Good News,
11 Kwa isonga nasolelwe okubha mulasha, omutumwa na omwikilisha.
of which I was myself appointed a Herald and Apostle, and Teacher.
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 is why I am undergoing these sufferings; yet I feel no shame, for I know in whom I have put my faith, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him until ‘That Day.’
13 Wichuke emisango chbhulengelesi jinu wonguwe okusoka kwaye, amwi nomulembe ngwelyenda ngunu ngulimu Yesu Kristo.
Keep before you, as an example of sound teaching, all that you learnt from me as you listened with that faith and love which come from union with Christ Jesus.
14 Ubhike emisango jakisi jinu wayanilwe na ekae kwese.
Guard by the help of the Holy Spirit, who is within us, the glorious trust that has been committed to you.
15 Oumenya lwakutwo, abhanu bhanu bhenyajile Muesha bhasingile mulikofyanya elyo bhalimoFigilo na Hemogene.
You know, of course, that all our friends in Roman Asia turned their backs on me, and among them Phygellus 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 he often cheered me and was not ashamed of my chains.
17 Mbe nawe, olwo alinga Roma anyingile kwa managa ngona nabhona.
On the contrary, when he arrived in Rome, he sought eagerly for me till 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 find mercy at the hands of the Lord on ‘That Day.’ The many services that he rendered at Ephesus you have the best means of knowing.
