2 Timoteo 1

1 Mula kay Pablo, na isang apostol ni Cristo Jesus sa pamamagitan ng kalooban ng Diyos, ayon sa pangako ng buhay na nakay Cristo Jesus,

[I], Paul, [am writing this letter. I am] an apostle whom Christ Jesus chose so that I would do what God wanted. He chose me [to tell people that God] has promised [that they will] live [eternally] as a result of their having a close relationship with Christ Jesus.

2 para kay Timoteo, pinakamamahal na anak: Biyaya, habag, at kapayapaan mula sa Diyos Ama at kay Cristo Jesus na ating Panginoon.

[I am writing to you], Timothy, whom I love [as if you were] my own son. [I pray that] God our Father and Christ Jesus our Lord will [continue to act] kindly to you, be merciful to you, and [cause you to have] inner peace,

3 Nagpapasalamat ako sa Diyos, na aking pinaglilingkuran mula pa sa aking mga ninuno, na may malinis na budhi, habang patuloy kitang inaalala sa aking mga panalangin. Gabi at araw,

I thank God [for all that he has done for you]. I serve him, and my ancestors [served him, too. I serve him] in a manner that I know to be right. [I thank him] while repeatedly I [pray for you] at night and during the day.

4 nananabik akong makita ka, upang maaari akong mapuno ng kagalakan. Naaalala ko ang iyong mga pagluha.

[While I am thanking God for you], I very much want to see you because I remember how you cried [MTY] [when we separated. I want to see you] in order that I may be (filled with joy/very happy).

5 Napaalalahanan ako sa tapat mong pananampalataya na unang ipinamuhay ng iyong lola na si Loida at ng iyong ina na si Eunice. At natitiyak ko na ipinapamuhay mo rin ito.

[I thank God because] I remember that you sincerely believe [in Christ Jesus]. First, your grandmother, Lois, and your mother, Eunice, [believed in him and], I am (convinced/very sure) that you also believe in him.

6 Ito ang dahilan na pinapaalalahanan kita na pagningasin muli ang kaloob ng Diyos sa iyo sa pamamagitan ng pagpatong ko ng aking mga kamay.

Because [I am sure that you believe in him], I remind you to do fervently/wholeheartedly [MET] what God has (assigned for/appointed) you to do and what he has enabled you to do. [God] ([assigned for/appointed]) you to do it as a result of my putting my hands [on you to show/indicate that he had chosen you to do his work].

7 Sapagkat hindi tayo binigyan ng Diyos ng espiritu ng pagkatakot, kundi ng kapangyarihan, pag-ibig at disiplina.

Remember that God has put [his Spirit] within us. [His Spirit does not cause us to be] afraid. Instead, [he causes us to be] powerful [to work for God], and he helps us to love [others] and [to] control what we say and do.

8 Kaya huwag mong ikakahiya ang magpatotoo tungkol sa ating Panginoon, maging ako, si Pablo, na kaniyang bilanggo. Sa halip, makibahagi sa pagdurusa para sa ebanghelyo ayon sa kapangyarihan ng Diyos.

So never be ashamed/reluctant to tell others the message about our Lord. And do not [be ashamed] of me, [even though I am] a prisoner [because I preach about] him. Instead, [be willing to] suffer as I do as you proclaim the message about Christ. [Endure what you will suffer] by letting God empower [you to endure it].

9 Ang Diyos ang nagligtas sa atin at tumawag sa atin sa banal na pagkatawag. Ginawa niya ito, hindi ayon sa ating mga gawa, ngunit ayon sa kaniyang layunin at biyaya. Ibinigay niya ang mga bagay na ito sa atin kay Cristo Jesus bago pa ang pasimula ng panahon. (aiōnios g166)

[God] saved us and chose us to conduct our lives in a pure way. It was not our doing good deeds/actions [that caused him to do this for us—something] that we did not deserve. Instead, before (time began/he created the world) he purposed/planned to [be kind to us] as a result of what Christ Jesus [would do for us]. (aiōnios g166)

10 Ngunit ngayon naihayag na ang pagliligtas ng Diyos sa pamamagitan ng pagpapakita ng ating Panginoong Jesu-Cristo. Si Cristo ang siyang naglagay ng hangganan sa kamatayan at nagdala ng buhay na walang hangganan upang magliwanag sa pamamagitan ng ebanghelyo.

Now, as a result of our Savior Christ Jesus having come, it has been revealed {he has shown} [that he acts kindly toward us. Specifically, Christ Jesus] has declared that we [will not remain dead after we] die! He has also revealed that, as a result of [our hearing and accepting] the message [about Christ, we] will live [forever in bodies that will] not decay!

11 Dahil dito, ako ay hinirang na tagapangaral, isang apostol, at tagapagturo.

I was chosen {Christ chose me} to go as an apostle to many places and proclaim that message to people.

12 Dahil dito ako din ay nagdurusa sa mga bagay na ito. Ngunit hindi ako nahiya, sapagkat kilala ko ang aking pinaniwalaan. Natitiyak ko na kaya niyang ingatan ang anumang bagay na ipinagkatiwala ko sa kaniya hanggang sa araw na iyon.

So, even though I suffer [here in this prison], I am not ashamed [of being here] (OR, I am very confident), because I know [Christ Jesus], the one whom I have trusted, and I am convinced/sure that he is able to keep safe the good message that he has entrusted to me (OR, the things that I have entrusted [to him]), and that he will reward me at the time [MTY] [when he comes again].

13 Ingatan mo ang mga halimbawa ng mga tapat na mensaheng narinig mo sa akin, kasama ang pananampalataya at pag-ibig na nakay Cristo Jesus.

Be sure that you tell others the same correct message that you heard from me. [And as you tell it], keep trusting [in Christ Jesus] and keep loving [others] as Christ Jesus [enables you to do].

14 Ang mabuting bagay na ipinagkatiwala ng Diyos sa iyo, bantayan mo ito sa pamamagitan ng Banal na Espiritu, na namumuhay sa atin.

Do not let anyone persuade you to change the [good message that] God has entrusted/given to you. Allow the Holy Spirit who lives in us to [direct what you say].

15 Alam mo ito, na lahat ng nakatira sa Asya ay tumalikod sa akin. Sa grupong ito ay sina Figelo at Hermogenes.

You know that [almost] all [the believers] in Asia [province] have (turned away from/abandoned) me, including Phygelus and Hermogenes.

16 Kahabagan nawa ng Panginoon ang sambahayan ni Onesiforo, sapagkat madalas niya akong pinalalakas at hindi niya ikinahiya ang aking kadena.

[But I pray that] the Lord will be kind to the family of Onesiphorus for the following reasons: Often he cheered me up and, [even though] I was a prisoner [MTY], he was not ashamed (of me/[to admit he was] my [friend]).

17 Sa halip, noong nasa Roma siya, masigasig niya akong hinanap, at natagpuan niya ako.

On the contrary, when he came here to Rome, he diligently searched for me until he found me.

18 Ang Panginoon nawa ang magkaloob sa kaniya upang kaniyang masumpungan ang habag sa araw na iyon. At alam mo ng lubusan ang lahat ng paraan ng pagtulong niya sa akin sa Efeso.

[I pray that] the Lord will be kind to him on that day [MTY] [when he, the Lord, will judge people]. And how much Onesiphorus served [me] in Ephesus [city], you know very well.
