2 KuThimothi 1
1 UPawuli umphostoli kaJesu Kristu ngentando kaNkulunkulu, njengokwesithembiso sempilo ekuKristu Jesu,
Paulo mtumwi wa Khristu Yesu mwa chifuniro cha Mulungu. Anandituma kuti ndilalike za lonjezo la moyo umene uli mwa Khristu Yesu.
2 kuTimothi, umntanami othandekayo: Umusa, isihawu, ukuthula okuvela kuNkulunkulu uBaba, loKristu Jesu iNkosi yethu.
Kwa Timoteyo, mwana wanga wokondedwa: Chisomo, chifundo ndi mtendere zochokera kwa Mulungu Atate ndi Ambuye athu Yesu Khristu.
3 Ngiyambonga uNkulunkulu, engimkhonzayo kusukela kubokhokho esazeleni esimhlophe, njengalokhu ngikukhumbula ngokungaphezi emikhulekweni yami ebusuku lemini,
Ndikuyamika Mulungu amene ndimamutumikira ndi chikumbumtima chosatsutsika, monga momwe ankachitira makolo anga. Usiku ndi usana ndimakukumbukira mosalekeza mʼmapemphero anga.
4 ngilangatha ukukubona, ngikhumbula inyembezi zakho, ukuze ngigcwaliswe ngentokozo,
Ndikamakumbukira misozi yako, ndimalakalaka nditakuona kuti ndidzazidwe ndi chimwemwe.
5 nxa ngibeka emkhumbulweni ukholo olungelakuzenzisa olukuwe, olwaluhlezi kugogo wakho uLoyisi kuqala lakunyoko uYunike, njalo ngithemba ukuthi lukhona lakuwe.
Ndakumbukira za chikhulupiriro chako choona chimene chinayamba mwa agogo ako a Loisi ndi mwa amayi ako Yunike ndipo ndikutsimikiza mtima kuti chilinso mwa iwe.
6 Ngenxa yalesisizatho ngiyakukhumbuza ukuthi uvuselele isipho sikaNkulunkulu, esikuwe ngokubekwa kwezandla zami.
Nʼchifukwa chake ndikukukumbutsa kuti upemerere monga amachitira moto, mphatso imene Mulungu anakupatsa nditakusanjika manja.
7 Ngoba uNkulunkulu kasinikanga umoya wobugwala, kodwa owamandla lowothando lowokuqonda.
Pakuti Mzimu amene Mulungu anatipatsa, si Mzimu wotipatsa manyazi, koma Mzimu wotipatsa mphamvu, chikondi ndi kudzisunga.
8 Ngakho ungabi lanhloni ngobufakazi beNkosi yethu, loba ngami isibotshwa sayo; kodwa kumele uhlupheke kanye levangeli njengamandla kaNkulunkulu,
Choncho usachite manyazi kuchitira umboni Ambuye athu, kapena kuchita manyazi chifukwa cha ine wamʼndende. Koma umve nane zowawa chifukwa cha Uthenga Wabwino, mothandizidwa ndi mphamvu za Mulungu.
9 owasisindisayo, njalo wasibiza ngobizo olungcwele, kungeyisikho njengemisebenzi yethu kodwa ngokwelakhe icebo langomusa, asinika wona kuKristu Jesu kungakafiki izibanga zezikhathi, (aiōnios g166)
Iye anatipulumutsa ndipo anatiyitanira ku moyo oyera mtima, osati chifukwa cha chilichonse chimene tinachita, koma chifukwa cha chikonzero ndi chisomo chake. Chisomo chimenechi anatipatsa ife mwa Khristu Yesu nthawi isanayambe. (aiōnios g166)
10 kodwa oselubonakaliswe khathesi ngokubonakala koMsindisi wethu uJesu Kristu, owachitha ukufa, waseletha ekukhanyeni impilo lokungabhubhi ngevangeli,
Koma tsopano Mulungu watiwululira kudzera mʼkuoneka kwa Mpulumutsi wathu, Khristu Yesu, amene anathetsa mphamvu za imfa ndipo mwa Uthenga Wabwino anaonetsa poyera moyo umene sungafe.
11 engamiselwa lona mina ukuba ngumtshumayeli lomphostoli lomfundisi wezizwe.
Ine ndinasankhidwa kukhala wamthenga, ndi mtumwi ndi mphunzitsi wa Uthenga Wabwinowu.
12 Ngenxa yalesisizatho lami ngiyahlupheka lezizinto, kodwa kangilanhloni; ngoba ngiyamazi engikholwe kuye, njalo ngileqiniso ukuthi ulamandla okulondoloza lokho engikubeke kuye kuze kufike lolosuku.
Nʼchifukwa chake ndikuvutika monga ndililimu. Komabe zimenezi sizikundichititsa manyazi, popeza ndikumudziwa amene ndamukhulupirira ndipo ndikutsimikiza mtima kuti akhoza kusamalira chimene ndinamusungitsa mpaka tsiku lijalo.
13 Bambelela kusibonelo samazwi aphilileyo owawezwayo kimi, ekholweni lethandweni olukuKristu Jesu.
Zimene unamva kwa ine, uzisunge kuti zikhale chitsanzo cha chiphunzitso choona, mwa chikhulupiriro ndi chikondi mwa Khristu Yesu.
14 Lokhu okuhle okuphathisiweyo kulondoloze ngoMoya oNgcwele ohlezi kithi.
Samalira bwino zokoma zimene anakusungitsa. Uzisamalire mothandizidwa ndi Mzimu Woyera amene amakhala mwa ife.
15 Uyakwazi lokhu, ukuthi bonke abaseAsiya bangihlamuka, okukubo uFigelo loHermogene.
Iwe udziwa kuti onse a mʼchigawo cha Asiya anandithawa, kuphatikizapo Fugelo ndi Herimogene omwe.
16 Sengathi iNkosi inganika umusa indlu kaOnesiforo; ngoba wangivuselela kanengi, njalo wayengelanhloni ngeketane lami,
Mulungu achitire chifundo banja lonse la Onesiforo chifukwa ankandisangalatsa kawirikawiri ndipo sankachita nane manyazi ngakhale ndinali womangidwa ndi maunyolo.
17 kodwa ekufikeni kwakhe eRoma, wangidingisisa kakhulu wasengithola;
Mʼmalo mwake, atangofika ku Roma, anandifunafuna ndipo anandipeza.
18 sengathi iNkosi ingamnika ukuthi athole isihawu eNkosini ngalolosuku; lokuthi zingaki izinto angenzela zona eEfesu, uyakwazi wena kuhle kakhulu.
Ambuye amulole kuti adzalandire chifundo kwa Ambuye pa tsiku lijalo! Ukudziwa bwino momwe iye anandithandizira mʼnjira zosiyanasiyana ku Efeso.
