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 by the will of God, according to the promise of 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 Timothy, my dearly beloved son: Grace, mercy, and 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 thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with pure conscience, that without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day;
4 Sina mu ni zezera zinsozi zako, ni shukelwe ku kubona, chakuti ni zule chakusanga.
Greatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of 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.
When I call to remembrance the sincere faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that is 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 remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the laying on of my hands.
7 Chakuti Ireeza kana a vatuhi luhuho lwa lyowa, kono lwa ziho nilwe rato ni lwe kute.
For God hath not given us the 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.
Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel 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 hath saved us, and called us with an 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 world began, (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 now been revealed by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:
11 Hakwinabulyo ni vaketelwa bukutazi, buapositola ni buluti.
To which I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.
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 I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed to him until that day.
13 Uvike mutala wa mañusa o vazuwi kwangu, chetumelo ni ilato lina kwa Keresite Jesu.
Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
14 Zintu zilotu izo Ireeza aba viki kwako, zivavalele cha Luhuho Lujolola, luhala mukati kanko.
That good thing which was committed to thee keep by the Holy Spirit who dwelleth in us.
15 Wizi zintu izi, chakuti vonse vahala mwa Isia ba va ni futatili. Muchikwata echo kwina Figelo, ni Hemogene.
This thou knowest, that all they who are in Asia are turned away from me; 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.
The Lord give mercy to the house of Onesiphorus; for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain:
17 Chevaka linabulyo, ha vena mwa Roma, a ba tukufalelwe kunisaka, mane na cha niwana.
But, when he was in Rome, he 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 that he may find mercy from the Lord in that day: and in how many things he ministered to me at Ephesus, thou knowest very well.
