2 Timote 1
1 Ngai Polo, ntoma ya Yesu-Klisto, kolanda mokano ya Nzambe, mpo na kosakola bomoi oyo Nzambe alaka kati na Yesu-Klisto;
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, through the will of God, according to a promise of life that [is] in Christ Jesus,
2 Epai ya Timote, mwana na ngai ya bolingo: Tika ete ngolu, boboto mpe kimia epesamela yo kowuta na Nzambe Tata mpe na Yesu-Klisto, Nkolo na biso!
to Timotheus, beloved child: Grace, kindness, peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord!
3 Nazali kozongisa matondi epai ya Nzambe oyo nasalelaka na motema peto ndenge bakoko na ngai bazalaki kosala, pamba te tango nyonso, ezala butu to moyi, nabosanaka yo te na mabondeli na ngai.
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 Tango nakanisaka mpinzoli na yo, nakomaka na posa makasi ya komona yo mpo ete natondisama na esengo.
desiring to see you greatly, being mindful of your tears, that I may be filled with joy,
5 Nakanisaka bosolo ya kondima na yo, oyo Loyisi, koko na yo ya mwasi, mpe Enise, mama na yo, bazalaki na yango, kondima oyo nandimisami solo ete ezali mpe kati na yo.
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 Yango wana nazali kolendisa yo ete olamusa lisusu likabo oyo Nzambe apesaki yo tango natiaki yo maboko.
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 Pamba te Molimo oyo Nzambe apesa biso akomisaka biso te bato ya kobanga-banga, kasi apesaka biso makasi, bolingo mpe mayele.
for God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind;
8 Boye, koyoka soni te mpo na kotatola na tina na Nkolo na biso to mpe na tina na ngai oyo nakangami na boloko mpo na Ye, kasi mona pasi elongo na ngai mpo na Sango Malamu kolanda makasi oyo Nzambe azali kopesa yo,
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 pamba te abikisaki biso mpe abengaki biso mpo ete totambola na bomoi ya bule. Mpe soki asalaki bongo, ezali te mpo na misala na biso, kasi ezali nde mpo na mabongisi mpe ngolu na Ye moko kaka, ngolu oyo apesaki biso kati na Yesu-Klisto liboso ya ebandeli ya tango. (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 Nzokande ngolu yango emonani sik’oyo na nzela ya koya ya Yesu-Klisto, Mobikisi na biso, oyo asilisaki nguya ya kufa mpe atalisaki bosolo ya bomoi ya seko na nzela ya Sango Malamu.
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 Ezali mpo na Sango Malamu yango nde Nzambe atiaki ngai moteyi, ntoma mpe molakisi.
to which I was placed a preacher and an apostle, and a teacher of nations,
12 Ezali mpe mpo na Sango Malamu yango nde nazali komona pasi oyo. Kasi atako bongo, nazali koyoka soni te, pamba te nayebi nani oyo ngai nandimela, mpe nazali na elikya ete azali na makoki ya kobatela nyonso oyo apesa ngai, kino na mokolo wana.
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 Kamata lokola ndakisa, mateya ya sembo oyo nateyaki yo mpe salela yango kolanda kondima mpe bolingo oyo tozali na yango kati na Yesu-Klisto.
Hold the pattern of sound words, which you heard from me, in faith and love that [is] in Christ Jesus;
14 Batela yango malamu lokola bomengo, na lisungi ya Molimo Mosantu oyo avandaka kati na biso.
guard the good thing committed through the Holy Spirit that is dwelling in us;
15 Oyebi malamu ete bato nyonso oyo bazali kati na mokili ya Azia bakimaki ngai; kati na bango, tozali na Fijele mpe Erimojene.
you have known this, that they turned from me—all those in Asia, of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes;
16 Tika ete Nkolo atalisa ngolu na Ye epai ya libota ya Onezifore, pamba te abondisaki ngai mbala mingi mpe ayokaki soni te mpo na minyololo na ngai.
may the LORD give kindness to the house of Onesiphorus, because he refreshed me many times, and was not ashamed of my chain,
17 Kutu tango akomaki na Rome, asalaki nyonso mpo na koluka ngai kino amonaki ngai.
but being in Rome, he sought me very diligently and found [me];
18 Tika ete, na mokolo wana, Nkolo atalisa ngolu na Ye epai ya Onezifore! Oyebi lisusu malamu ndenge nini asungaki ngai kati na Efeso.
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.
