2 Timothy 1

1 From Paul who, by the will of God, is an apostle of Christ Jesus, charged to proclaim the life that comes from union with Christ Jesus,

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

2 to Timothy, my dear child: may God, the Father, and Christ Jesus, our Lord, bless you, and be merciful to you, and give you peace.

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

3 I am thankful to God, whom I serve, as my ancestors did, with a clear conscience, when I remember you, as I never fail to do, in my prayers – night and day alike,

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 as I think of your tears, longing to see you, that my happiness may be completed,

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

5 now that I have been reminded of the sincere faith that you have shown. That faith was seen first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and is now, I am convinced, 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 And that is my reason for reminding you to stir into flame that gift of God, which is yours through your ordination at my hands.

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

7 For the Spirit which God gave us was not a spirit of cowardice, but a spirit of power, love, and self-control.

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

8 Do not, therefore, be ashamed of the testimony which we have to bear to our Lord, or of me imprisoned for his sake; but join with me in suffering for the good news, as far as God enables you.

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 It was God who saved us, and from him we received our solemn call – not as a reward for anything that we had done, but in fulfillment of his own loving purpose. For that love was extended to us, through Christ Jesus, before time began, (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 and has now been made apparent through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus; who has made an end of death, and has brought life and immortality to light by that 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 of which I was myself appointed a herald, apostle, and teacher.

Hakwinabulyo ni vaketelwa bukutazi, buapositola ni buluti.

12 That is why I am undergoing these sufferings; yet I feel no shame, for I know in whom I have put my faith, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him until 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 Keep before you, as an example of sound teaching, all that you learnt from me as you listened with that faith and love which come from union with Christ Jesus.

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

14 Guard by the help of the Holy Spirit, who is within us, the glorious trust that has been committed to you.

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

15 You know, of course, that all our friends in Roman Asia turned their backs on me, including Phygellus and Hermogenes.

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

16 May the Lord show mercy to the household of Onesiphorus; for he often cheered me and was not ashamed of my chains.

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

17 On the contrary, when he arrived in Rome, he sought eagerly for me until he found me.

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

18 The Lord grant that he may find mercy at the hands of the Lord on that day. The many services that he rendered at Ephesus you have the best means of knowing.

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