2 Timotewu 1
1 Neni Paulu, Mlungu kafiriti kuntenda ntumintumi gwa Kristu Yesu su nuwubweri ukomu wa mashaka goseri watulagiliritwi mukulikolerana pamuhera na Kristu Yesu.
Paul, an Apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, on account of the promise of life, which is by Christ Jesus;
2 Nukulembera gwenga Timotewu yaguwera gambira mwana gwangu yanukufira, nukufilira manemu na lusungu na ponga kulawa kwa Mlungu Tati na Mtuwa gwetu Kristu Yesu.
to Timothy, my beloved son: Favor, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 Mayagashii Mlungu mweni yanumtendera kwa nfiru iherepa ntambu yawatenditi wazewi wangu, nonga mayagashii kila panukuhola mukuluwa kwangu pashiru na paliwala.
I give thanks to God, (whom from my forefathers I serve with a pure conscience, ) that I have unceasing remembrance of you in my prayers night and day;
4 Nugahola masozi gaku na nfira nentu kukulola, nweri na nemeleru nentu.
remembering your tears, I greatly desire to see you, that I may be filled with joy:
5 Nuyihola njimiru yaku ya nakaka, njimiru yayiweriti mubibi gwaku Loisi na mumawu gwaku Euniki. Nana unakaka handa gwenga gwanayi vulaa.
calling to remembrance also the unfeigned faith which 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 Ndo nukuholiziya gulitendi lifupu lyagupananitwi na Mlungu liweri na makakala nentu lifupu ali lyagwankiti shipindi panukutuliriti mawoku.
For which cause I put you in mind to stir up the spiritual gift of God, which is in you through the imposition of my hands.
7 Toziya Rohu yatupananitwi na Mlungu yomberi katutenda ndiri tuweri na lyoga, yakatutenda tuweri na makakala na mafiliru na kulilewelera.
For God has not given us a spirit of cowardice; but of power, and of love, and of self-government.
8 Su naguwona soni kuwagambira wamonga visoweru vya Mtuwa gwetu, kayi naguwona soni toziya ya neni yanwera mushibetubetu toziya ya Mtuwa gwetu Kristu Yesu. Kumbiti gutendi pamuhera na neni muntabika toziya ya Shisoweru Shiwagira, kwa makakala gagupananitwi na Mlungu.
Wherefore, be not ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner; but jointly suffer evil for the gospel, according to the power of God;
9 Yomberi katulopoziyiti na kutushema tuweri wantu wakuwi mweni, toziya ndiri ya matendo na mafiliru getu gaherepa, kumbiti toziya ya nfiru yakuwi mweni na manemu gakuwi. Katupananiti manemu aga kwa njira ya Kristu Yesu pamberi pa kunyawa pasipanu. (aiōnios g166)
who has saved us, and called us with a holy calling, --not on account of our works; but on account of his own purpose and favor, which was given us through Christ Jesus, before the times of the ages, (aiōnios g166)
10 Kumbiti igubutulwa kwatwenga vinu kwa kwiza kwakuwi Mlopoziya gwetu Kristu Yesu. Yomberi kaagamaziya makakala ga kuhowa na kwa njira ya Shisoweru Shiwagira na kuwulaviya ukomu wawehera na kufuwa.
and is now manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ; who has, indeed, vanquished death, and brought life and incorruptibility to light by the gospel:
11 Nsyagulitwi neni nweri ntumintumi na mfunda na kuwabwelera wantu Shisoweru Shiwagira,
of which I am appointed a herald, and an Apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles:
12 na neni ntabika toziya ya avi. Kumbiti nankali nahera soni nentu toziya nummana ulii yanumjimiriti, kayi nana nakaka handa yomberi hakashiloleri shirii shakanupiti, mpaka lishaka lya upereru.
for which cause I also suffer these things. Nevertheless, I am not ashamed; for I know in whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to preserve what I have committed in trust to him, till that day.
13 Gugakoleri weri mafundu galii ga nakaka ganukufunditi na gusigali munjimiru ayi na aga ndo mafiliru getu mukuwera pamuhera na Kristu Yesu.
The form of wholesome words, which you have heard from me, hold fast, with the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.
14 Shitwatira shirii shiherepa shagupananitwi gushikoleri kwa makakala ga Rohu Mnanagala yakalikala mngati mwetu.
The good deposit guard by the Holy Spirit, who dwells in us.
15 Ntambu yaguvimana, wantu woseri wa lushi lwa Asiya wandeka, pakati pawu kwana Figelu na Herimugeni.
You know this, that all they who are in Asia have turned me off; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.
16 Mtuwa kawawoneri lusungu kaya ya Onesifori, toziya mala zivuwa kanemeleziyiti mmoyu, kayi kawona ndiri soni toziya nweriti mshibetubetu,
May the Lord grant mercy to the family of Onesiphorus; for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain:
17 kumbiti shakapanu pakasokiti Rumi, kanjiti kunsakula kwa kugangamala mpaka kamona.
but being in Rome, he sought me out very diligently, and found me.
18 Mtuwa kamwoneri lusungu mulishaka lya upereru! Na gwenga guvimana weri gavuwa gakantendiriti kulii Efesu.
May the Lord grant him to find mercy from the Lord in that day! And how many services he rendered to me in Ephesus, you well know.
