2 Timotheo 1
1 Uve vi Paulo vinsugwa va Yesu Klisite khulugano ulwa Nguluve, ni khukhuvulo nita ndagano inche womi mugati mwa Klisite 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 ukhuva u Timoti umwana ugane: Ikhisa nu lunonchehenso nu lukhungu ukhuhuma khwa Nguluve u Dada nu Klisite Yesu utwa vito.
May God, the Father, and Christ Jesus, our Lord, bless you, and be merciful to you, and give you peace.
3 Nikhundimya u Nguluve, uvumwene nikhumbombela khu vunogwe uvunonu ndavuwa vavombile ava dada vito, vunikhumbukha isikhu nchoni mundwisayo lwango. Pakhilo na
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 pamusi ninogwa ni khuvone nu khuhovokha. Nikhunjikhumbukha inyihonchi nchakho.
as I think of your tears, longing to see you, that my happiness may be completed,
5 Nale nukhu ng'umbusya ulunonchehe nchonso ulwa vuyilweli ukhuhuma pavutengulilo nukhutama na vapapa vako Loisi nu vanyokho vakho u Yunisi. Nilinuvulweli ukhuta ulwidikho lutama mugati indyumwe.
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 Iyi yuyimbikhile ukhuta ugadilage ikhikhungilwa kya Nguluve ikhimwukhile mugati mu ndyuve khunjila iya khubadikhiwa amavokho gango.
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 Ulwa khuva uNguluve satupe umepo umbalanche nu vudwanchie ukhuta na makha nu lugano nu lugendo.
For the Spirit which God gave us was not a spirit of cowardice, but a spirit of power, love, and self-control.
8 Ulekhe ukhuvuvonela isoni imivele igyia Ntwa vito, nukhuta uve ulivango ne Paulo ni nkhugwa vamwene. Puave nu vukhuvilwa vulevule nu vuvaha wa Nguluve.
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 Vi Nguluve uviatupokhile nu khutwilanga khulwilango uluvalanche. Savombe evo ukhukhwanana ne mbombo nchetu nu khukhwananincha ni khisa ni mivele gya mwene yuywa. Atupile imbombo ncha mwene mwa Klisite uYesu pavutengulilo ukhutengula nu nsikhi. (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 Ulwa khuva uvuvalanche wa Nguluve vumalile ukhudenduliwa ukhwincha kwa pokhi vitu u Klisite Yesu. Vi Klisite uviimisye imifimba nu khugega uwomi uvusawisila khulumuly lwa livangili.
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 Ulwa khuva na halilwe nu ndumbililyi nu utwa nu manyisi.
of which I was myself appointed a Herald and Apostle, and Teacher.
12 Ulwa khuva nagatanchiwe sanivona khinu ukhumanya umwene uvinamalile ukhwidika. Nilinuwa yilweli nelolelage isikhu nchoni khumwene.
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 Ukhumbuke ikhikhwani ikhya limenyu ilyavugolofu iliwapulikhe ukhuhuma khulyune, paninye we kisa nu lugano lulwa lulyi mugati mwa Klisite Yesu.
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 Gavikhe amasago amanonu agakhupile u Nguluve ukhugendela mwa mepo umbalanche uvitama mugati ndyufwe.
Guard by the help of the Holy Spirit, who is within us, the glorious trust that has been committed to you.
15 Ulumanyile ukhuta voni avitama khu Asia vandekhile. Khukhipuga ikhi valemuvale ava figelo nu Hemogene.
You know, of course, that all our friends in Roman Asia turned their backs on me, and among them Phygellus and Hermogenes.
16 Utwa ayisaye ikhaya ya Onesiforo ulwa khuva unsikhi gwuoni alikhuhovosya nu khusita ukhuvona isoni ne misongerehane gwyango.
May the Lord show mercy to the household of Onesiphorus; for he often cheered me and was not ashamed of my chains.
17 Ukhuva uluale khu Roma khu makha akhambona.
On the contrary, when he arrived in Rome, he sought eagerly for me till he found me.
18 Unguluve ansayage nu khumwimika nu luhungu ukhuhuma ilinsova lila. Nduvu anangile vunale khu Efeso, uve ulumanyile vunonu.
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.
