2 KuThimothi 1
1 UPawuli umphostoli kaJesu Kristu ngentando kaNkulunkulu, njengokwesithembiso sempilo ekuKristu Jesu,
Paulo umuteme wa Yesu Kristo mkwenda kwa Nyamuanga, ukulubhana na omulago ogwobhuanga bhunu mbuli Mkristo Yesu.
2 kuTimothi, umntanami othandekayo: Umusa, isihawu, ukuthula okuvela kuNkulunkulu uBaba, loKristu Jesu iNkosi yethu.
Kutimotheo omwana wani omwendwa echigongo, okusasilwa na omulembe okusoka kulata Nyamuanga na Kristo omukulu weswe.
3 Ngiyambonga uNkulunkulu, engimkhonzayo kusukela kubokhokho esazeleni esimhlophe, njengalokhu ngikukhumbula ngokungaphezi emikhulekweni yami ebusuku lemini,
Enimusima Nyamuanga unu enimukolela kumwoyo omwelu lwakutyo bhakolela bhalata nikechuka mwisabhwa lyani lya siku chona mungeta na mumwisi. enenda okukulola koleleki likondelelwa lifule,
4 ngilangatha ukukubona, ngikhumbula inyembezi zakho, ukuze ngigcwaliswe ngentokozo,
enichuka amasikao kao.
5 nxa ngibeka emkhumbulweni ukholo olungelakuzenzisa olukuwe, olwaluhlezi kugogo wakho uLoyisi kuqala lakunyoko uYunike, njalo ngithemba ukuthi lukhona lakuwe.
Nikechuka ukulubhana na elikilisha lliyo likomee kubhwambilo likae ku kaka wanyu Loisi na kunya kumwana wao Yunisi ninaechimali kulikilisha linu likae kwao.
6 Ngenxa yalesisizatho ngiyakukhumbuza ukuthi uvuselele isipho sikaNkulunkulu, esikuwe ngokubekwa kwezandla zami.
Inu niyo injuno yo kukwichukisha okukungilisha echiyanwa cha Nyamuanga echochilimunda yaokunjila yokotelwako amabhoko ngani.
7 Ngoba uNkulunkulu kasinikanga umoya wobugwala, kodwa owamandla lowothando lowokuqonda.
Kokubha Nyamuanga atachianile omwanyo ngwo bhubha, nawe amanaga nelyenda lyabhumunu.
8 Ngakho ungabi lanhloni ngobufakazi beNkosi yethu, loba ngami isibotshwa sayo; kodwa kumele uhlupheke kanye levangeli njengamandla kaNkulunkulu,
Kulwenjo wasiga kulola jiswalo ingulu yo bhubhambhasi bwa Lata bungenyi weswe. Nawe chikumanye munyako kulwemisango ja Nyamuanga kwenganiliye nobhutulo bwa Nyamuanga.
9 owasisindisayo, njalo wasibiza ngobizo olungcwele, kungeyisikho njengemisebenzi yethu kodwa ngokwelakhe icebo langomusa, asinika wona kuKristu Jesu kungakafiki izibanga zezikhathi, (aiōnios g166)
Nyamuanga achiluye nachibhilikila no obhuluka obhulengelesi. Atakolele kutwo okulinganilila nemilimu jeswe nokwingana, nechigongo na libhwi sombosi bhwae omwene. Achianile emisango jinu omwanya kuchali kwamba ku Yesu. (aiōnios g166)
10 kodwa oselubonakaliswe khathesi ngokubonakala koMsindisi wethu uJesu Kristu, owachitha ukufa, waseletha ekukhanyeni impilo lokungabhubhi ngevangeli,
Mbhe nawe oli omwilulo ngwa Nyamuanga ngwamalile okufundulwa, okuja kumwilusi weswe Yesu Kristo, ni Yesu Kristo oyo abhutuye olufu nokuleta obhuwanga bhunu bhutanabhutelo kubhwelu bhwa Iinjili.
11 engamiselwa lona mina ukuba ngumtshumayeli lomphostoli lomfundisi wezizwe.
Kwa isonga nasolelwe okubha mulasha, omutumwa na omwikilisha.
12 Ngenxa yalesisizatho lami ngiyahlupheka lezizinto, kodwa kangilanhloni; ngoba ngiyamazi engikholwe kuye, njalo ngileqiniso ukuthi ulamandla okulondoloza lokho engikubeke kuye kuze kufike lolosuku.
Kwa injuno heyo nanyakike ona, nawe ndakulola swalo okubhanye nimenyele unu ndamalile okwikilisha. Nine chimali omwene katula okubhika chinu angabhiye okukinga olusiku luliya.
13 Bambelela kusibonelo samazwi aphilileyo owawezwayo kimi, ekholweni lethandweni olukuKristu Jesu.
Wichuke emisango chbhulengelesi jinu wonguwe okusoka kwaye, amwi nomulembe ngwelyenda ngunu ngulimu Yesu Kristo.
14 Lokhu okuhle okuphathisiweyo kulondoloze ngoMoya oNgcwele ohlezi kithi.
Ubhike emisango jakisi jinu wayanilwe na ekae kwese.
15 Uyakwazi lokhu, ukuthi bonke abaseAsiya bangihlamuka, okukubo uFigelo loHermogene.
Oumenya lwakutwo, abhanu bhanu bhenyajile Muesha bhasingile mulikofyanya elyo bhalimoFigilo na Hemogene.
16 Sengathi iNkosi inganika umusa indlu kaOnesiforo; ngoba wangivuselela kanengi, njalo wayengelanhloni ngeketane lami,
Rata aisasile inyumba ya onesiforo kwo kubha ngendo nyafu akondelesishe na atajiswaliliye amasika ngani.
17 kodwa ekufikeni kwakhe eRoma, wangidingisisa kakhulu wasengithola;
Mbe nawe, olwo alinga Roma anyingile kwa managa ngona nabhona.
18 sengathi iNkosi ingamnika ukuthi athole isihawu eNkosini ngalolosuku; lokuthi zingaki izinto angenzela zona eEfesu, uyakwazi wena kuhle kakhulu.
Nyamuanga amwijusishe libhando okwiswalila okusoka kumwenene olusiku luliya. Lwakutyo asakiye anu nalinga nili Efeso awe umenyele kisi.
