Timotheo II 1
1 Lokwalo lo lo tswang kwa go: Paulo, mo rongwa wa ga Jesu Keresete, yo o rometsweng ke Modimo go ya go bolelela banna le basadi gongwe le gongwe kaga botshelo jo bo sa khutleng jo o ba bo solofeditseng ka tumelo mo go Jesu Keresete.
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus,
2 Lo ya kwa go: Timotheo, morwaake yo o rategang. A Modimo Rara le Keresete Jesu Morena wa rona o go nosetse bopelonomi jwa one, kutlwelo-botlhoko le kagiso.
to Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 Ke leboga Modimo jang ka wena, Timotheo. Ke go rapelela malatsi otlhe, le ka nako tsotlhe mo masigong a maleele ke kopa Modimo wa me go go segofatsa mo go menaganyeng. Ke Modimo wa borre, le wa me, mme maikaelelo a me fela mo botshelong ke go o itumedisa.
I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with pure conscience, as without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day,
4 Ke tlhwaafaletse thata go go bona gape. Kana ke ka itumela thatajang, gonne ke gakologelwa selelo sa gago fa re kgaogana.
longing to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy;
5 Ke itse gore o ikanya Morena go le kae, fela jaaka mmago Yunise le mmago-mogolo Loise ba mo ikanya; ebile ke tlhomamisa gore o santse o mo ikanya thata fela jaaka gale.
when I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that it dwelleth in thee also.
6 Ka ntlha ya moo, ke batla go go gakolola gore o tlhotlheletse nonofo le bopelokgale jo bo mo teng ga gago, jo bo tsenyeng mo go wena ka nako e ke neng ke go baya diatla ka yone ke go segofatsa.
For which cause I remind thee to stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the laying on of my hands;
7 Gonne Mowa O O Boitshepo, neo ya Modimo, ga o rate gore wena o tshabe batho, mme e leng go nna botlhale le nonofo, le go ba rata le go itumelela go nna le bone.
for God gave us not the spirit of cowardice, but of power, and of love, and of admonition.
8 Fa o ka tlhotlheletsa nonofo e e mo teng ga gago ga o kitla o boifa go bolelela ba bangwe ka Morena, wa rona, Kgotsa go ba itsise gore ke tsala ya gago le fa ke le mo kgolegelong fano ka ntlha ya ga Keresete. O tlaa ipaakanyetsa go boga le nna ka ntlha ya Morena, gonne o tlaa go nonotsha mo dipogisong.
Be not then ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner; but endure hardship with me for the gospel through the power of God,
9 Ke ene yo o re bolokileng le yo o re tlhophetseng tiro ya gagwe e e boitshepo, e seng ka ntlha ya gore e re tshwanetse mme e le ka ntlha ya gore e ne e le leano la One la bogologolo pele ga lefatshe le simologa, go supa lorato lwa One mo go rona le bopelotlhomogi ka Jesu Keresete. (aiōnios g166)
who saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and the grace which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began, (aiōnios g166)
10 Mme jaanong o dirile mo gotlhe gore go bonale mo go rona sentle ka go tla ga Mmoloki wa rona Jesu Keresete, yo o robileng nonofo ya loso a bo a re bontsha tsela ya botshelo jo bo safeleng ka go mo ikanya.
but is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Christ Jesus, who abolished death, and brought life and incorruption to light through the gospel,
11 Mme Modimo o ntlhophile go nna morongwa wa one, go rerela Badichaba le go ba ruta.
for which I was appointed a herald, and an apostle, and a teacher of the gentiles.
12 Ke ka moo ke bogang fano mo kgolegelong ebile ga go ntlhabise ditlhong, gonne ke itse yo ke mo ikanyang, ebile ke tlhomamisa gore o nonofile go tlhokomela tsotlhe tse ke di mo neileng go fitlhelela letsatsi la go bowa ga gagwe.
For which cause I suffer also these things. But I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which he hath committed to me unto that day.
13 Tshegetsa thata sekao sa boammaaruri jo ke go bo rutileng, segolo thata jang tumelo le lorato lo Keresete Jesu a lo go neileng.
Hold the pattern of sound words, which thou heardest from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus;
14 Tlhokomela thata, nonofo e o e amogetseng mo Modimong e le mpho e e tswang mo Moweng o o Boitshepo o o nnang mo teng ga gago.
the good trust committed to thee keep through the Holy Spirit which dwelleth in us.
15 Jaaka o itse, Bakeresete botlhe ba ba tsileng mono ba tswa kwa Asia ba mphatlalaletse; le e leng Fugalo le Hegemogenese tota ba tsamaile.
Thou knowest this, that all those in Asia turned away from me, of whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.
16 A Morena a segofatse Onisiforo le botlhe ba ntlo ya gagwe, ka gore o ne a nketela a bo a nkgothatsa gantsi. Go nketela ga gagwe go ne ga ntsoseletsa jaaka mowa wa phefo e e monate, ebile go nna ga me mo kgolegelong ga go ise go mo tlhabise ditlhong.
The Lord give mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, because he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain; but on the contrary,
17 Le gone erile a tla mo Roma o mpatlile gongwe le gongwe, a leka go bona kwa ke teng, mme la bofelo a mpona.
when he arrived at Rome, he sought me out very diligently, and found me.
18 A Modimo o mo nee lesego le le faphegileng motlhang Keresete a bowang. Ebile o itse botoka go na le jaaka ke ka go bolelela ka fa o nthusitseng ka teng kwa Efeso.
The Lord grant to him that he may find mercy from the Lord in that day: and what services he rendered me at Ephesus, thou knowest very well.
