2 Timothy 1
1 Paulu, aposteli ti Jesu Kristi nípa ìfẹ́ Ọlọ́run, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìlérí ìyè ti ń bẹ nínú Kristi Jesu,
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, according to the promise of the life which is in Christ Jesus,
2 Sí Timotiu, ọmọ mi olùfẹ́ ọ̀wọ́n: Oore-ọ̀fẹ́, àánú àti àlàáfíà láti ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run Baba wa, àti Kristi Jesu Olúwa wa.
to Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 Mo dá ọpẹ́ lọ́wọ́ Ọlọ́run, ẹni tí èmi ń sìn pẹ̀lú ẹ̀rí ọkàn mímọ́ gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwọn baba mi ti í ṣe, pé ni àìsimi lọ́sàn án àti lóru ni mo ń ṣe ìrántí rẹ nínú àdúrà mi.
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 Bí mo ti rántí omijé rẹ, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni mo ń fẹ́ láti rí ọ kí èmi kí ó lè kún fún ayọ̀.
longing to see you, remembering your tears, that I may be filled with joy;
5 Nígbà ti mo bá rántí ìgbàgbọ́ àìṣẹ̀tàn rẹ, èyí ti ó kọ́kọ́ ń bẹ nínú Loisi ìyá ńlá rẹ, àti nínú Eunike ìyá rẹ̀ àti, èyí tí ó dá mi lójú pé ó ń gbé inú rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú.
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 Nítorí ìdí èyí ni mo ṣe ń ran ọ létí pé kí ó máa rú ẹ̀bùn Ọlọ́run sókè èyí ti ń bẹ nínú rẹ nípa ìgbọ́wọ́lé mi.
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 Nítorí pé Ọlọ́run kò fún wa ni ẹ̀mí ìbẹ̀rù, bí kò ṣe ti agbára, àti ti ìfẹ́, àti ti ìsẹ́ra-ẹni ti ó yè kooro.
For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power and love and of a sound mind.
8 Nítorí náà, má ṣe tijú láti jẹ́rìí nípa Olúwa wa, tàbí èmi òǹdè rẹ̀; ṣùgbọ́n kí ìwọ ṣe alábápín nínú ìpọ́njú ìyìnrere nípa agbára Ọlọ́run,
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 ẹni ti ó gbà wá là, ti ó si pè wá sínú ìwà mímọ́—kì í ṣe nípa iṣẹ́ tí a ṣe ṣùgbọ́n nípasẹ̀ ète àti oore-ọ̀fẹ́ rẹ̀. Oore-ọ̀fẹ́ yìí ni a fi fún wa nínú Kristi Jesu láti ìpìlẹ̀ ayérayé, (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 ṣùgbọ́n tí a fihàn nísinsin yìí nípa ìfarahàn Jesu Kristi Olùgbàlà wa, ẹni ti ó pa ikú run, tí ó sì mú ìyè àti àìkú wá sí ìmọ́lẹ̀ nípasẹ̀ ìyìnrere.
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 Fún ti ìyìnrere tí a yàn mi láti jẹ oníwàásù àti aposteli àti olùkọ́.
For this, I was appointed a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher.
12 Nítorí ìdí èyí ní èmi ṣe ń jìyà wọ̀nyí pẹ̀lú. Ṣùgbọ́n ojú kò tì mí, nítorí èmi mọ ẹni tí èmi gbàgbọ́, ó sì dá mi lójú pé, òun lè pa ohun ti mo fi lé e lọ́wọ́ mọ́ títí di ọjọ́ náà.
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 Ohun tí ó gbọ́ láti ọ̀dọ̀ mi, pa a mọ́ gẹ́gẹ́ bí àpẹẹrẹ ẹ̀kọ́ rere nínú ìgbàgbọ́ àti ìfẹ́ Kristi Jesu.
Hold the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
14 Pa ohun rere ti a ti fi lé ọ lọ́wọ́ mọ́ nípa Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́ ti ń gbé inú wa.
That good thing which was committed to you, guard through the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.
15 Èyí ni ìwọ mọ̀ pé, gbogbo àwọn ti ó wà ni agbègbè Asia ti fi mí sílẹ̀, nínú àwọn ẹni tí Figeliu àti Hamogene gbé wà.
This you know, that all who are in Asia turned away from me; of whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.
16 Kí Olúwa fi àánú fún ilé Onesiforu; nítorí ti ó máa ń tù mi lára nígbà púpọ̀, ẹ̀wọ̀n mi kò sì tì í lójú.
May the Lord grant mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain,
17 Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí ó wà ni Romu, ó fi ẹ̀sọ̀ wá mi, ó sì rí mi.
but when he was in Rome, he sought me diligently, and found me
18 Kí Olúwa fi fún un kí ó lè rí àánú lọ́dọ̀ Olúwa ni ọjọ́ náà! Ìwọ tìkára rẹ sá à mọ̀ ọ̀nà gbogbo tí ó gbà ràn mí lọ́wọ́ ni 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.
