2 Timoty 1

1 Paoly, Apostolin’ i Kristy Jesosy noho ny sitrapon’ Andriamanitra, mba ho mpitory ny teny fikasana milaza ny fiainana izay ao amin’ i Kristy Jesosy,

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, according to the promise of life, which is in Christ Jesus,

2 mamangy an’ i Timoty, zanako malala: ho aminao anie ny fahasoavana sy ny famindram-po ary ny fiadanana avy amin’ Andriamanitra Ray sy Kristy Jesosy Tompontsika.

to Timothy my beloved son; grace, mercy, and peace from God our Father, and Christ Jesus our Lord.

3 Misaotra an’ Andriamanitra aho, Izay tompoiko araka ny nataon’ ny razako amin’ ny fieritreretana madio, fa tsy manam-pitsaharana akory ny fahatsiarovako anao amin’ ny fivavahako andro aman’ alina;

I thank God, whom I serve with a pure conscience, after the custom of my forefathers, that, without ceasing, I have remembrance of you in my prayers night and day,

4 ary maniry hahita anao aho (satria tsaroako ny ranomasonao), mba ho feno fifaliana aho;

greatly desiring to see you, being mindful of your tears, that I may be filled with joy;

5 fa nisy nahatsiarovako ny finoana tsy mihatsaravelatsihy izay ao anatinao, izay nitoetra taloha tao anatin’ i Loisa renibenao sy Eonika reninao, ary matoky aho fa ao anatinao koa izany.

for I remember the unfeigned faith that is in you, which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois, and in your mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that it dwells in you also.

6 Ary noho izany dia mampahatsiaro anao aho mba hamelomanao ny fanomezam-pahasoavana avy amin’ Andriamanitra, izay ao anatinao tamin’ ny fametrahako ny tanako.

Wherefore I exhort you to kindle up the gift of God that is in you by the laying on of my hands.

7 Fa tsy nomen’ Andriamanitra fanahy osa isika, fa fanahy mahery sy fitiavana ary fahononan-tena.

For God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

8 Koa aza menatra ny ho vavolombelon’ ny Tompontsika, na ahy mpifatony ianao; fa aoka ianao ho mpiombona ny fahoriana noho ny filazantsara araka ny herin’ Andriamanitra,

Be not, therefore, ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me, his prisoner: but jointly suffer evil in the gospel according to the power of God,

9 Izay namonjy antsika sy niantso antsika tamin’ ny fiantsoana masìna, tsy araka ny asantsika, fa araka ny fikasany sy ny fahasoavany izay nomena antsika tao amin’ i Kristy Jesosy hatry ny fony fahagola; (aiōnios g166)

who has 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 us in Christ Jesus before the times of the ages, (aiōnios g166)

10 fa naharihary ankehitriny tamin’ ny nisehoan’ i Kristy Jesosy, Mpamonjy antsika, Izay nahafoana ny herin’ ny fahafatesana, ka ny filazantsara no nampisehoany mazava ny fiainana sy ny tsi-fahalòvana mandrakizay;

but is now made manifest by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has deprived death of its power, and brought life and incorruptibility to light through the gospel;

11 ny amin’ io filazantsara io no nanendrena ahy ho mpitory sy Apostoly ary mpampianatra.

to which I have been appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles;

12 Ary noho izany koa no iaretako izao zavatra izao, ka tsy menatra aho, satria fantatro Izay inoako, ary matoky aho fa Izy dia mahatahiry ilay zavatra natolotro Azy mandra-pihavin’ izay andro izay.

for which cause I also suffer these things; yet I am not ashamed: for I know in whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have intrusted to him till that day.

13 Tano amin’ ny finoana ny ny fitiavana ao amin’ i Kristy Jesosy ny mariky ny teny tsy misy kilema, izay efa renao tamiko.

Hold fast the form of sound words which you have heard from me, in faithfulness and in love which is in Christ Jesus.

14 Ilay zavatra tsara natolotra anao dia tehirizo amin’ ny fampaherezan’ ny Fanahy Masìna, Izay mitoetra ao anatintsika.

That good thing which was intrusted to you, keep by the Holy Spirit that dwells in us.

15 Fantatrao fa efa nahafoy ahy izay rehetra any Asia; isan’ ireny Fygelo sy Hermogena.

You know this, that all those who are in Asia have turned away from me; all those, I say, of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.

16 Homen’ ny Tompo famindram-po anie ny ankohonan’ i Onesiforosy; satria namelombelona ny fanahiko matetika izy, fa tsy menatra ny gadrako;

May the Lord give mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain:

17 fa raha tany Roma izy, dia nitady ahy fatratra ka nahita

but when he was in Rome, he sought for me very diligently, and found me.

18 (ny Tompo anie hampahita azy famindram-po amin’ ny Tompo amin’ izay andro izay); ary ny hafatratry ny nanompoany ahy tany Efesosy dia fantatrao tsara.

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 in Ephesus, you know very well.
