2 Timotea 1

1 Paulusi, muapositola wa Jesu Keresite chetato ye Ireeza, chakuya chesepiso ya vuhalo bwina mwa Keresite Jesu,

Paul, apostle of Jesus Christ by God's will, according to promise of life, the [life] which [is] in Christ Jesus,

2 kwa Timotea, mwanangu yo sakahala: Chisemo, inse, ni inkozo izwilila kwa Ireeza Tayo ni Keresite Jesu Simwene wetu.

to Timotheus, [my] beloved child: grace, mercy, peace, from God [the] Father, and Christ Jesus our Lord.

3 Ni litumera kwe Ireeza, uzo u ni vasebelezi kuzwililila ku basukulu wa vesukulu wetu, chakuya chezwalo lijolola, sina ha ni zwilile habusu kukuzeza mwitapelo zangu musihali ni masiku.

I am thankful to God, whom I serve from [my] forefathers with pure conscience, how unceasingly I have the remembrance of thee in my supplications night and day,

4 Sina mu ni zezera zinsozi zako, ni shukelwe ku kubona, chakuti ni zule chakusanga.

earnestly desiring to see thee, remembering thy tears, that I may be filled with joy;

5 Ni vakumbuluswa chetumelo yako ikolete isa yangayi, iva hali chetanzi kubanyokokolo va Loisi ni vanyoko va Eunisi. Mi ni zumina kuti ihala ni kwako bulyo.

calling to mind the unfeigned faith which [has been] in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and in thy mother Eunice, and I am persuaded that in thee also.

6 Ili nji vaka ha ni ku ku kumbulusa utimbe impo ya Ireeza ina kwako chakubikwa heulu mayanza angu.

For which cause I put thee in mind to rekindle the gift of God which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.

7 Chakuti Ireeza kana a vatuhi luhuho lwa lyowa, kono lwa ziho nilwe rato ni lwe kute.

For God has not given us a spirit of cowardice, but of power, and of love, and of wise discretion.

8 Chobulyo kanji u swabeli vupaki bwa Nfumwetu, kapa ime, Paulusi, ni musuminwa wakwe. Nihakuva bulyo, u liyavele mu manyando a evangeli chakuya cha maata a Ireeza.

Be not therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner; but suffer evil along with the glad tidings, according to the power of God;

9 Nji yena Ireeza ya va tuhazi mi ni chatusumpa cha musumpiro u jolola. A vachiti ichi, isinyi cha misebezi yetu, kono chakuya chamihupulo yakwe ikolete. A vatuhi izi zintu cha Keresite Jesu pili inako neiseni kutanga. (aiōnios g166)

who has saved us, and has called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to [his] own purpose and grace, which [was] given to us in Christ Jesus before [the] ages of time, (aiōnios g166)

10 Kono hanu intukuluho ya Ireeza iva zibahazwa chakuboneka chamupulusi wetu Kelesite Jesu. I vali nji Keresite, ya vamanisi ifu ni kuleta buhalo busena ma maninizo che seli lya evangeli.

but has been made manifest now by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who has annulled death, and brought to light life and incorruptibility by the glad tidings;

11 Hakwinabulyo ni vaketelwa bukutazi, buapositola ni buluti.

to which I have been appointed a herald and apostle and teacher of [the] nations.

12 Chevakelyo name ni banyandi che zo zintu. Kono kaniswabite, chakuti ni zi uzo ye nizumine kwali. Mi ni bazumini kuti u wola kubika izo ze ni bamuhi kusikila izuba ilyo.

For which cause also I suffer these things; but I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep for that day the deposit I have entrusted to him.

13 Uvike mutala wa mañusa o vazuwi kwangu, chetumelo ni ilato lina kwa Keresite Jesu.

Have an outline of sound words, which [words] thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which [are] in Christ Jesus.

14 Zintu zilotu izo Ireeza aba viki kwako, zivavalele cha Luhuho Lujolola, luhala mukati kanko.

Keep, by the Holy Spirit which dwells in us, the good deposit entrusted.

15 Wizi zintu izi, chakuti vonse vahala mwa Isia ba va ni futatili. Muchikwata echo kwina Figelo, ni Hemogene.

Thou knowest this, that all who [are] in Asia, of whom is Phygellus and Hermogenes, have turned away from me.

16 Mi Simwine ahe chisemo ku venzubo ya Onesiforo, chakuti hangi a vanikatulusi mi kana a vaniswabeli ha ni vena mumahaka.

The Lord grant mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, for he has often refreshed me, and has not been ashamed of my chain;

17 Chevaka linabulyo, ha vena mwa Roma, a ba tukufalelwe kunisaka, mane na cha niwana.

but being in Rome sought me out very diligently, and found [me] —

18 Simwine a muhe kuwana chisemo chizwilila kwali mwelyo izuva. Ni mwinzila zonse za va nitusi mwa Efese, iwe uzizi hande.

the Lord grant to him to find mercy from [the] Lord in that day — and how much service he rendered in Ephesus thou knowest best.
