2 Timoseewo 1
1 Nze, Pawulo, omutume wa Kristo Yesu olw’okwagala kwa Katonda, ng’okusuubiza bwe kuli okw’obulamu obuli mu Kristo Yesu,
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, according to the promise of the life which is in Christ Jesus,
2 nkuwandiikira ggwe Timoseewo omwana wange omwagalwa, nga nkwagaliza ekisa n’okusaasirwa, n’emirembe ebiva eri Katonda Kitaffe, ne Kristo Yesu Mukama waffe.
to Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 Neebaza Katonda gwe mpeereza mu mwoyo omulungi nga bajjajjange bwe baakola, nga nkujjukira obutayosa mu kusaba kwange emisana n’ekiro.
I thank God, whom I serve as my forefathers did, with a pure conscience. How unceasing is my memory of you in my petitions, night and day
4 Bwe nzijukira amaziga go ne neegomba okukulaba ndyoke nzijule essanyu.
longing to see you, remembering your tears, that I may be filled with joy;
5 Nzijukira okukkiriza kwo okw’amazima olubereberye okwali mu jjajjaawo Looyi ne mukadde wo Ewuniike; era nga nkakasiza ddala nga naawe okulina.
having been reminded of the sincere faith that is in you; which lived first in your grandmother Lois, and your mother Eunice, and, I am persuaded, in you also.
6 Kyenva nkujjukiza okuseesanga ekirabo kya Katonda ekiri mu ggwe kye yakuwa, bwe nakussaako emikono gyange.
For this cause, I remind you that you should stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.
7 Kubanga Mwoyo wa Katonda, gwe yatuwa tatufuula bati, wabula atuwa amaanyi, n’okwagala era n’okwegendereza.
For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power and love and of a sound mind.
8 Noolwekyo tokwatibwa nsonyi kwogera ku bya Mukama waffe, wadde ku nze omusibe we, wabula naawe bonaabona olw’Enjiri ng’oyambibwa amaanyi ga Katonda,
Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner; but endure hardship for the Good News according to the power of God,
9 eyatulokola n’atuyita tubeere babe. Ekyo yakikola nga tasinziira ku bikolwa byaffe, wabula ng’asinziira mu kuyitibwa okutukuvu, si ng’ebikolwa byaffe bwe biri, naye olw’ekigendererwa kye ye, n’ekisa kye, kye yatukwatirwa ng’ayita mu Kristo Yesu okuva edda n’edda Lyonna. (aiōnios g166)
who saved us and 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 time began, (aiōnios g166)
10 Kaakano ekisa ekyo kyolesebbwa mu kulabika kw’Omulokozi waffe Kristo Yesu eyaggyawo okufa, n’aleeta obulamu obutazikirizibwa ng’ayita mu Njiri,
but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light through the Good News.
11 gye nalonderwa okugisaasaanya, n’okuba omutume, era omuyigiriza,
For this, I was appointed a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher.
12 era kyenva mbonaabona bwe ntyo. Kyokka sikwatibwa nsonyi, kubanga mmanyi gwe nakkiriza, era nkakasa nti ayinza okukuuma ekyo kye namuteresa okutuusa olunaku luli.
For this cause I also suffer these things. Yet I am not ashamed, for I know him whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to guard that which I have committed to him against that day.
13 Gobereranga ebigambo ebireeta obulamu bye wawulira njogera, mu kukkiriza ne mu kwagala mu Kristo Yesu.
Hold the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
14 Ekintu ekirungi eky’omuwendo kye wateresebwa kikuumenga ng’oyambibwa Mwoyo Mutukuvu abeera mu ffe.
That good thing which was committed to you, guard through the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.
15 Kino okimanyi, ng’ab’omu Asiya bonna banjabulira, mu abo mwe muli Fugero ne Kerumogene.
This you know, that all who are in Asia turned away from me; of whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.
16 Mukama akwatirwe ekisa ab’omu nnyumba ya Onesifolo, kubanga yambeesabeesa emirundi mingi era teyankwatirwa nsonyi kubanga ndi musibe;
May the Lord grant mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain,
17 bwe yatuuka e Ruumi, yafuba nnyo okunnoonya era n’anzuula.
but when he was in Rome, he sought me diligently, and found me
18 Mukama amukwatirwe ekisa ku lunaku luli. Era gw’omanyi bulungi nnyo byonna bye yakola mu Efeso.
(the Lord grant to him to find the Lord's mercy in that day); and in how many things he served at Ephesus, you know very well.
