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,
Pawulo, mutumwa wa Kkilisito Jesu mukwiinda mu luyando lwaLeza, mukwiinda mu chisyomezyo cha buumi buli muli Kkilisito Jesu,
2 to Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
kuli Timoti, mwana muyandwi: Luzyalo, lweetelelo a luumuno kuzwa kuli Leza Taata aKkilisito Jesu Mwaami wesu.
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
Ndilumba Leza, ngwekomba kuzwa kuli bamataata, amoyo uutakwe kampenda, mbuli mbemuyeya munkombyo zyangu mansiku a sikati.
4 longing to see you, remembering your tears, that I may be filled with joy;
Mbuli mbendiyeya misozi yako, ndiyandisya kukubona, kuti ndizule alukondo.
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.
Ndali kuyeezegwa alusyomo lwako lwinilwini, oolo lwakali muli banyookulu Loyisi anbanyoko Yunisi, alimwi ndili aakasimpe kuti lulakkala mulinduwe ayebo.
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.
Nkenkaako nkendakuyeezezya kuti ubukulusye chipo chaLeza chili mulinduwe chakaba kandikubika maboko.
7 For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.
Nkaambo Leza taakatupa muuya wabuyoofu, pesi wamanguzu a luyando akulibamba.
8 Therefore don’t 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,
Aboobo utabi eensoni abukamboni bwa Mwaami wesu, na lwangu, Pawulo, mwaange wakwe. Nikuba boobo abila mumachise kuchitila makani mabotu mukwiindila munguzu zyaLeza.
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 times eternal, (aiōnios g166)
Ngu Leza wakakufutula alimwi wakatwiita alwiito lusalala. Wakachita eezi, kutali kumilimu yesu, pesi mukwiindilila mumakanze aakwe aluzyalo. Wakatupa zintu zyoonse eezi muli Kkilisito Jesu zintu zyoonse nkazitanabawo. (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.
Pesi lino lufutuko lwaLeza lwakayubununwa mukulibonia kwaMufutuli wesu Kkilisito Jesu. NguKkilisito wakamaninsya lufu akweeta buumi butamani kumunika kwiindila mumakani mabotu.
11 For this I was appointed as a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.
Nkaambo kacheechi, nchindakasalwa kuba mukambawusi, mutumwa, alimwi muyiisi.
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.
Akaambo kacheechi ndilafwabila eezi zintu. Pesi nsifwi bweeme, nkaambo ndilizi ooyo ngwesyoma. Ndili aakasimpe kuti ulakonzya kubamba eezyo nzindakamupa kusikila eelyo zuba.
13 Hold the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
Bamba chitondeezyo chamajwi aamvwika aayo nguwakamvwa kulindime, alusyomo aluyando eezyo zili muli Kkilisito Jesu.
14 That good thing which was committed to you, guard through the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.
Zintu zibotu Leza nzyaakakupa, zibambe mukwiinda mu Muuya Uusalala, uukkala mulindiswe.
15 This you know, that all who are in Asia turned away from me, of whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.
Ulichizi eechi, kuti boonse bakkala kuAsiya bakandipapila. Mukabunga aaka muli Figelasi a Hemojinisi.
16 May the Lord grant mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain,
Mwaami ngape luzyalo kun'anda ya Onesifolasi, nkaambo wakali kundibukulusya alimwi taakaba aamawuse aakwaangwa kwangu.
17 but when he was in Rome, he sought me diligently and found me
Nikubaboobo, nakali kuLoma, wakandiyanduula chabusungu, alimwi wakandijana.
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.
Mwaami amujanie luzyalo kulinguwe muli eelyo zuba. Nzila zyoonse nzyakandigwasya mu Efeso, ulizi kabotu.
