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, by the will of God, for proclaiming 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 dearly-loved child. May grace, mercy and peace be granted to you 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 with a pure conscience--as my forefathers did--that night and day I unceasingly remember you in my prayers,
4 Nugahola masozi gaku na nfira nentu kukulola, nweri na nemeleru nentu.
being always mindful of your tears, and longing 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.
For I recall the sincere faith which is in your heart--a faith which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and then in your mother Eunice, and, I am fully convinced, now dwells in you also.
6 Ndo nukuholiziya gulitendi lifupu lyagupananitwi na Mlungu liweri na makakala nentu lifupu ali lyagwankiti shipindi panukutuliriti mawoku.
For this reason let me remind you to rekindle God's gift which is yours 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 the Spirit which God has given us is not a spirit of cowardice, but one of power and of love and of sound judgement.
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.
Do not be ashamed then to bear witness for our Lord and for me His prisoner; but rather share suffering with me in the service of the Good News, strengthened by 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)
For He saved us and called us with a holy call, not in accordance with our desserts, but in accordance with His own purpose and the free grace which He bestowed on us in Christ Jesus before the commencement 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.
but which has now been plainly revealed through the Appearing of our Saviour, Christ Jesus. He has put an end to death and has brought Life and Immortality to light through the Good News,
11 Nsyagulitwi neni nweri ntumintumi na mfunda na kuwabwelera wantu Shisoweru Shiwagira,
of which I have been appointed a preacher, Apostle and teacher, to 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.
That indeed is the reason why I suffer as I do. But I am not ashamed, for I know in whom my trust reposes, and I am confident that He has it in His power to keep what I have entrusted to Him safe until that day.
13 Gugakoleri weri mafundu galii ga nakaka ganukufunditi na gusigali munjimiru ayi na aga ndo mafiliru getu mukuwera pamuhera na Kristu Yesu.
Provide yourself with an outline of the sound teaching which you have heard from my lips, and be true to the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.
14 Shitwatira shirii shiherepa shagupananitwi gushikoleri kwa makakala ga Rohu Mnanagala yakalikala mngati mwetu.
That precious treasure which is in your charge, guard through the Holy Spirit who has His home in our hearts.
15 Ntambu yaguvimana, wantu woseri wa lushi lwa Asiya wandeka, pakati pawu kwana Figelu na Herimugeni.
Of this you are aware, that all the Christians in Roman Asia have deserted me: and among them 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 show mercy to the household of Onesiphorus; for many a time he cheered me and he was not ashamed of my chain.
17 kumbiti shakapanu pakasokiti Rumi, kanjiti kunsakula kwa kugangamala mpaka kamona.
Nay, when he was here in Rome, he took great pains to inquire where I was living, and at last he found me.
18 Mtuwa kamwoneri lusungu mulishaka lya upereru! Na gwenga guvimana weri gavuwa gakantendiriti kulii Efesu.
(The Lord grant that he may obtain mercy at His hands on that day!) And you yourself well know all the services which he rendered me in Ephesus.
