2 Timoteo 1
1 Saa nhoma yi fi Paulo a ɔyɛ Kristo Yesu somafo no nkyɛn. Onyankopɔn ankasa na ɔfrɛɛ me sɛ ɔsomafo, na ɔde nkwa a ɔhyɛ ho bɔ a ɛnam Kristo Yesu mu gyidi so de brɛ mo.
Paul, an apostle of Messiah Jesus through the will of God, according to the promise of the life which is in Messiah Jesus,
2 Mede kɔma me dɔba Timoteo: Adom, mmɔborɔhunu ne asomdwoe mfi Agya Nyankopɔn ne yɛn Awurade Kristo Yesu nka wo.
to Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Messiah Jesus our Lord.
3 Meda Onyankopɔn a mede adwene mu fann som no sɛnea me mpanyimfo yɛe no ase. Daa, anadwo ne awia, mekae wo wɔ me mpaebɔ mu.
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 Mekae wo nisutew bere a yɛredi mpaapaemu no a, ɛma mʼani gyina wo. Enti sɛ mihu wo bio a mʼani begye.
longing to see you, remembering your tears, that I may be filled with joy;
5 Wɔkae me wo nokware gyidi a efii ase wɔ wo nenabea Lois ne wo na Eunike mu no, na magye ato mu sɛ mprempren ɛwɔ wo nso mu bi saa ara.
having been reminded of the sincere faith that is in you; which lived first in your grandmother Lois, and your mother Eunice, and, I am persuaded, in you also.
6 Eyi nti merebɔ wo nkae sɛ, kae akyɛde a bere a mede me nsa guu wo so no Onyankopɔn de maa wo no.
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 Efisɛ Honhom a Onyankopɔn de maa yɛn no mma yɛnyɛ ahufo, na mmom Honhom no ma yɛn tumi, ɔdɔ ne ahohyɛso.
For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power and love and of a sound mind.
8 Mma wʼani nnwu wɔ Awurade adansedi, ne me a meyɛ ne deduani no ho. Na sɛ ɔhaw bi to wo wɔ Asɛmpa no ka ho a, gyina pintinn wɔ ahoɔden a Onyankopɔn de ama wo no mu.
Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner; but endure hardship for the gospel according to the power of God,
9 Ogyee yɛn nkwa frɛɛ yɛn se yɛmmɛyɛ ne de. Ɛnyɛ biribi pa bi a yɛyɛ nti, na mmom nʼadom ara kwa. Ansa na wɔrehyɛ wiase ase no na ɔnam Kristo Yesu so kyɛɛ yɛn saa adom no, (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 Messiah Jesus before time began, (aiōnios g166)
10 nanso mprempren wɔnam Agyenkwa Kristo Yesu no ba a ɔbɛba no so ada no adi akyerɛ yɛn. Kristo, yɛn Agyenkwa dii owu so nkonim, na ɔde anigyesɛm a ɛhyerɛn te sɛ kanea, na ɛma nkwa a enni awiei brɛɛ yɛn.
but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior, Messiah Jesus, who abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.
11 Onyankopɔn ayi me sɛ ɔsomafo ne ɔkyerɛkyerɛfo sɛ menna Asɛmpa no adi.
For this, I was appointed a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher.
12 Ɛnam eyinom so nti na mihu saa amane yi. Nanso meda so wɔ gyidi, efisɛ minim nea mede me ho to no so no, na minim nso sɛ ɔbɛkora nea mede ahyɛ ne nsa no ama da no nso.
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 So nokwasɛm a mekyerɛɛ wo no mu yiye na fa yɛ nhwɛsode, na tena gyidi ne ɔdɔ a ɛyɛ yɛn de wɔ Kristo Yesu mu no mu.
Hold the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which is in Messiah Jesus.
14 Wɔde ademude a ɛsom bo ahyɛ wo nsa. Fa Honhom Kronkron a ɔte wo mu no mmoa bɔ ho ban.
That good thing which was committed to you, guard through the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.
15 Sɛnea wunim no, Kristofo a wofi Asia baa ha no nyinaa aguan agya me. Figelo ne Hermogene nso ka wɔn ho.
This you know, that all who are in Asia turned away from me; of whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.
16 Awurade nhu Onesiforo fifo mmɔbɔ, efisɛ ɔhyɛɛ me nkuran mpɛn bebree. Nʼani anwu wɔ me ho sɛ mada afiase pɛn,
May the Lord grant mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain,
17 na oduu Roma pɛ, na ɔbɔɔ mmɔden hwehwɛɛ me ara kosii sɛ ohuu me.
but when he was in Rome, he sought me diligently, and found me
18 Awurade mmoa no na da no, onya ahummɔbɔ mfi Awurade no nkyɛn! Wunim akwan ahorow a ɔfaa so boaa me wɔ Efeso.
(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.
