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 Christ Jesus through the will of God, according to the promise of the life which is in 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 child: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and 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 thank God, whom I serve as my forefathers did, with a pure conscience. How unceasing is my memory of you in my petitions, night and day
4 Nugahola masozi gaku na nfira nentu kukulola, nweri na nemeleru nentu.
longing to see you, remembering your tears, 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.
having been reminded of the unfeigned faith that is in you; which lived first in your grandmother Lois, and your mother Eunice, and, I am persuaded, in you also.
6 Ndo nukuholiziya gulitendi lifupu lyagupananitwi na Mlungu liweri na makakala nentu lifupu ali lyagwankiti shipindi panukutuliriti mawoku.
For this cause, I remind you that you should stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on 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 did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power and love and of a sound mind.
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.
Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner; but endure hardship for the Good News 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 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 to us in Christ Jesus before time began, (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.
but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light through the Good News.
11 Nsyagulitwi neni nweri ntumintumi na mfunda na kuwabwelera wantu Shisoweru Shiwagira,
For this, I was appointed a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher.
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 this cause I also suffer these things. Yet I am not ashamed, for I know him whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to guard that which I have committed to him against that day.
13 Gugakoleri weri mafundu galii ga nakaka ganukufunditi na gusigali munjimiru ayi na aga ndo mafiliru getu mukuwera pamuhera na Kristu Yesu.
Hold the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
14 Shitwatira shirii shiherepa shagupananitwi gushikoleri kwa makakala ga Rohu Mnanagala yakalikala mngati mwetu.
That good thing which was committed to you, guard through the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.
15 Ntambu yaguvimana, wantu woseri wa lushi lwa Asiya wandeka, pakati pawu kwana Figelu na Herimugeni.
This you know, that all who are in Asia turned away from me; of whom are Phygelus 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 house 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 when he was in Rome, he sought me diligently, and found me
18 Mtuwa kamwoneri lusungu mulishaka lya upereru! Na gwenga guvimana weri gavuwa gakantendiriti kulii Efesu.
(the Lord grant to him to find the Lord's mercy in that day); and in how many things he served at Ephesus, you know very well.
