2 Timotea 1
1 Paulusi, muapositola wa Jesu Keresite chetato ye Ireeza, chakuya chesepiso ya vuhalo bwina mwa Keresite Jesu,
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, through the will of God, according to a promise of life that [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, beloved child: Grace, kindness, 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 progenitors in a pure conscience, that I unceasingly have remembrance concerning you in my supplications night and day,
4 Sina mu ni zezera zinsozi zako, ni shukelwe ku kubona, chakuti ni zule chakusanga.
desiring to see you greatly, being mindful of your 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.
taking remembrance of the unhypocritical faith that is in you, that first dwelt in your grandmother Lois, and your mother Eunice, and I am persuaded that also in you.
6 Ili nji vaka ha ni ku ku kumbulusa utimbe impo ya Ireeza ina kwako chakubikwa heulu mayanza angu.
For which cause I remind you to stir up the gift of God that is in you through 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 did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind;
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.
therefore you may not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner, but you suffer evil along with the good news 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 saved us, and called with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace, that was given to us in Christ Jesus, before the times of the ages, (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.
and was made visible now through the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who indeed abolished death, and enlightened life and immortality through the good news,
11 Hakwinabulyo ni vaketelwa bukutazi, buapositola ni buluti.
to which I was placed a preacher and an apostle, and a teacher of 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 these things I also suffer, but I am not ashamed, for I have known in whom I have believed, and have been persuaded that He is able to guard that which I have committed to Him—to that day.
13 Uvike mutala wa mañusa o vazuwi kwangu, chetumelo ni ilato lina kwa Keresite Jesu.
Hold the pattern of sound words, which you heard from me, in faith and love that [is] in Christ Jesus;
14 Zintu zilotu izo Ireeza aba viki kwako, zivavalele cha Luhuho Lujolola, luhala mukati kanko.
guard the good thing committed through the Holy Spirit that is dwelling in us;
15 Wizi zintu izi, chakuti vonse vahala mwa Isia ba va ni futatili. Muchikwata echo kwina Figelo, ni Hemogene.
you have known this, that they turned from me—all those in Asia, of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes;
16 Mi Simwine ahe chisemo ku venzubo ya Onesiforo, chakuti hangi a vanikatulusi mi kana a vaniswabeli ha ni vena mumahaka.
may the LORD give kindness to the house of Onesiphorus, because he refreshed me many times, and was not ashamed of my chain,
17 Chevaka linabulyo, ha vena mwa Roma, a ba tukufalelwe kunisaka, mane na cha niwana.
but being in Rome, he sought me 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.
may the LORD give to him to find kindness from the LORD in that day; and you very well know how much he ministered in Ephesus.
