2 Timothy 1

1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, according to the promise of the life which is in Christ Jesus,

Paulusi, muapositola wa Jesu Keresite chetato ye Ireeza, chakuya chesepiso ya vuhalo bwina mwa Keresite Jesu,

2 to Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

kwa Timotea, mwanangu yo sakahala: Chisemo, inse, ni inkozo izwilila kwa Ireeza Tayo ni Keresite Jesu Simwene wetu.

3 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

Ni litumera kwe Ireeza, uzo u ni vasebelezi kuzwililila ku basukulu wa vesukulu wetu, chakuya chezwalo lijolola, sina ha ni zwilile habusu kukuzeza mwitapelo zangu musihali ni masiku.

4 longing to see you, remembering your tears, that I may be filled with joy;

Sina mu ni zezera zinsozi zako, ni shukelwe ku kubona, chakuti ni zule chakusanga.

5 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.

Ni vakumbuluswa chetumelo yako ikolete isa yangayi, iva hali chetanzi kubanyokokolo va Loisi ni vanyoko va Eunisi. Mi ni zumina kuti ihala ni kwako bulyo.

6 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.

Ili nji vaka ha ni ku ku kumbulusa utimbe impo ya Ireeza ina kwako chakubikwa heulu mayanza angu.

7 For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.

Chakuti Ireeza kana a vatuhi luhuho lwa lyowa, kono lwa ziho nilwe rato ni lwe kute.

8 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,

Chobulyo kanji u swabeli vupaki bwa Nfumwetu, kapa ime, Paulusi, ni musuminwa wakwe. Nihakuva bulyo, u liyavele mu manyando a evangeli chakuya cha maata a Ireeza.

9 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 the times of the ages (aiōnios g166),

Nji yena Ireeza ya va tuhazi mi ni chatusumpa cha musumpiro u jolola. A vachiti ichi, isinyi cha misebezi yetu, kono chakuya chamihupulo yakwe ikolete. A vatuhi izi zintu cha Keresite Jesu pili inako neiseni kutanga. (aiōnios g166)

10 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.

Kono hanu intukuluho ya Ireeza iva zibahazwa chakuboneka chamupulusi wetu Kelesite Jesu. I vali nji Keresite, ya vamanisi ifu ni kuleta buhalo busena ma maninizo che seli lya evangeli.

11 For this I was appointed as a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.

Hakwinabulyo ni vaketelwa bukutazi, buapositola ni buluti.

12 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.

Chevakelyo name ni banyandi che zo zintu. Kono kaniswabite, chakuti ni zi uzo ye nizumine kwali. Mi ni bazumini kuti u wola kubika izo ze ni bamuhi kusikila izuba ilyo.

13 Hold the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

Uvike mutala wa mañusa o vazuwi kwangu, chetumelo ni ilato lina kwa Keresite Jesu.

14 That good thing which was committed to you, guard through the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.

Zintu zilotu izo Ireeza aba viki kwako, zivavalele cha Luhuho Lujolola, luhala mukati kanko.

15 This you know, that all who are in Asia turned away from me, of whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.

Wizi zintu izi, chakuti vonse vahala mwa Isia ba va ni futatili. Muchikwata echo kwina Figelo, ni Hemogene.

16 May the Lord grant mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain,

Mi Simwine ahe chisemo ku venzubo ya Onesiforo, chakuti hangi a vanikatulusi mi kana a vaniswabeli ha ni vena mumahaka.

17 but when he was in Rome, he sought me diligently and found me

Chevaka linabulyo, ha vena mwa Roma, a ba tukufalelwe kunisaka, mane na cha niwana.

18 (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.

Simwine a muhe kuwana chisemo chizwilila kwali mwelyo izuva. Ni mwinzila zonse za va nitusi mwa Efese, iwe uzizi hande.
