2 Timoty 1
1 I Paoly, Firàhe’ Iesoà Norizañey ami’ty satrin’ arofon’ Añahare, amam-pitamàn-kaveloñe am’ Iesoà Norizañey.
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus, by the will of God, sent forth to proclaim the promise of the life which is in Christ Jesus.
2 Ho a i Timoty, anake kokoako: Hasoa naho tretre vaho ty fañanintsin’ Añahare Rae naho i Talèntika Iesoà Norizañey.
To Timothy, my beloved child; Grace mercy, and peace to you from God our Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 Andriañeko t’Andrianañahare italahoako manahak’ an-droaeko an-kazavan-troke, le mahatiahy azo nainai’e iraho am-pilolofako handro an-kaleñe;
I give thanks to God whom I worship with a pure conscience as my fathers did, when I remember you unceasingly in my prayers.
4 le misalala hahatrea azo amy fitiahiako i ranomaso’oy, hahaliforañ’ ahy an-kaehake,
Night and day when I recall your tears I am longing to see you, that my happiness may be complete.
5 ie tiahiko ty fatokisan-tò an-tro’o ao, ze nimoneñe heike tañova’ i Loizae renebei’o naho amy Eonikae rene’o vaho atokisako te ama’o ka.
I have been reminded of that sincere faith which is in your heart; which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice, and, I am fully persuaded, dwells in you also.
6 Izay ty añosihako azo ty hampibelañe i falalàn’ Añaharey ama’o añamy nanampezan-tañakoy.
For this reason let me remind you to keep ever blazing that gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.
7 Toe tsy tinolon’ Añahare troke mimalimalitse tika, fa ty arofon-kaozarañe naho ty fikokoañe, vaho ty filieram-batañe.
For God has not given us a spirit of cowardice, but a spirit of power and of love and of self-control.
8 Aa le ko salareñe ty talili’ i Talèntikañey, naho izaho mpirohi’e, fe mitraofa amako ami’ty falovilovia’ i talili-soay amy haozaran’ Añaharey,
Do not then be ashamed to bear witness for our Lord, nor for me, his prisoner. Nay, join with me in suffering for the gospel by the power of God.
9 i fa nandrombake antika naho nikanjy antika am-pikanjiañe miavake, tsy ty amo fitoloñan-tikañeo, fa amy satrin’ arofo’ey naho i falalàñe natolotse antika am’ Iesoà Norizañey taolo’ ty fifotora’ o sàoy, (aiōnios g166)
He has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not dealing with us according to our works, but according to his purpose and grace which he gave us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time. (aiōnios g166)
10 f’ie naboake henane zao ami’ty fitotsaha’ i Mpandrombak’ antika Iesoà Norizañey, i nandrotsake i havilasiiy vaho ninday haveloñe naho tsi-fihomahañe mb’ an-kazavàñe mb’eo amy talili-soay,
This has now been made manifest through the appearing of our Saviour Christ Jesus, who has put an end to death, and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.
11 i nanendreañe ahy ho mpitaroñe naho Firàheñe naho mpañokey.
Of the gospel I was appointed a herald, apostle, and teacher; and that is the reason I am now undergoing these sufferings.
12 I hoe zay ty isotriako o raha zao; fe tsy salatse, fantako i Fiatoakoy, vaho atokisako t’ie mahafihaja i nampañajako azey ampara’ i àndroy.
But I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have fully believed, and I am thoroughly persuaded that he is able to keep what I have given him until the Day.
13 Tambozoro ami’ty fatokisa’o naho fikokoa’o am’ Iesoà Norizañey ty vente’ o tsara-kanintsiñe tsinano’o tamakoo.
Hold fast the pattern of sound teaching you have heard from me in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
14 Vontitiro o raha soa natolotse azoo ami’ ty fañimbà’ i Arofo Masiñe mimoneñe añovan-tikañey.
Guard the glorious trust which has been committed to you by the aid of the Holy Spirit who makes his home in us.
15 Apota’o te fonga niamboho ahy i e Asia añe rey miharo amy Figelo vaho i Hermogena.
You already know that all the Christians in Roman Asia forsook me, among them Phygellus and Hermogenes.
16 Ehe te ho tretreze’ i Talè o añ’anjomba’ i Onesiforoseo, fa beteke nampanintsiñe ahiko vaho tsy nahameñatse aze o silisilikoo,
The Lord show mercy to the house hold of Onesiphorus; for many a time he refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain.
17 f’ie te Roma le nitsoek’ ahy ampara’ te nioni’e.
But when he came to Rome he sought for me until he found me.
18 Hatolo’ i Talè aze abey ty hahaoniña’e tretrè amy Talè amy andro zay! Ie fohi’o soa o sata maro nitoroña’e ahiko e Efesosy añeo.
The Lord grant him to find mercy form the Lord in that Day! And you know better than I how many services he rendered in Ephesus.
