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,
Nene Pauli, ndi Chapanga aganili nivya na mtumi wa Kilisitu Yesu anitumili muni ndi niukokosa wumi wula weatilagazili mukuwungana na Kilisitu Yesu,
2 to Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
nikuyandikila veve Timoti mwana vangu mwenikuganili. Nikuvaganila ubwina wa Chapanga na lipyana na sadika kuhuma kwa Chapanga Dadi na Kilisitu Yesu Bambu witu.
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
Nikumsengusa Chapanga mwanikumhengela kwa mtima weukulangisa kuvya uvi lepi na kubuda ngati chevakitili vagogo vangu, Nisengusa kila penikumbuka mukuyupa kwangu Chapanga kilu na muhi.
4 longing to see you, remembering your tears, that I may be filled with joy;
Nikumbuka maholi gaku na ninogela neju kukulola, muni nimemeswa luheku.
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.
Niyimanyili sadika yako ya chakaka, sadika yaavili nayu chitengula chaku Loisi, na nyina waku Eunike. Nivi na uchakaka kuna na veve uvili nayu.
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.
Ndi mana nikukumbusa uikohakesa njombi ya Chapanga yewapewili panakuvikili mawoko gangu.
7 For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.
Muni mpungu wetipewili na Chapanga lepi ndava ya kutikita tivya na wogoyi, lepi, ndi Mpungu waki weukutipela makakala na uganu na kujilongosa mwene.
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,
Hinu, kotoka kuvya na soni kujova ndava ya Bambu witu, amala kotoka kuniwonela soni nene namfungwa ndava yaki. Nambu uvyai mu mang'ahiso ndava ya Lilovi la Bwina, na ndava ya makakala gewipewa na Chapanga.
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)
Mwene atisangwili na kutikemela tivya tavandu vaki mwene, lepi ndava ya matendu gitu, ndi muni ndava ya mota yaki. Tapewili ngati cheigana mwene na kwa ubwina waki wa Yesu Kilisitu kwakona lukumbi, (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.
nambu hinu ubwina wa Chapanga ugubukuliwi kubwela kwaki msangula witu Kilisitu Yesu. Adivalili makakala ga lifwa, na kwa njila ya Lilovi la Bwina na akamanyisa wumi wangali lifwa.
11 For this I was appointed as a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.
Chapanga anihagwili nivyai namtumi na muwula wa kuvakokosela vandu Lilovi la Bwina,
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.
na ndava ya mambu genago naviniswi neju. Nambu nakona nikangamala ndava muni nimmanyili yula mwanimsadika, nivi na uchakaka yati akuchiyangalila mbaka ligono lila leiwuya Kilisitu.
13 Hold the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
Kamula kwa uchakaka mawuliwu gala genakuwulili na kusindimala musadika na uganu witu uwo muwungana na Kilisitu Yesu.
14 That good thing which was committed to you, guard through the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.
Kwa makakala ga Mpungu Msopi mweitama mumitima yitu, kamula mambu goha gabwina ganakugotolili.
15 This you know, that all who are in Asia turned away from me, of whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.
Umanyili kuvya vandu voha va ku Asia vanilekili, pagati yavi ndi Fugelo na Helimogene.
16 May the Lord grant mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain,
Bambu uvahengela lipyana vandu va kaya ya Onesifolo, muni anikangamalisi mtima vamahele panavili mchifungu ndi akolili lepi soni,
17 but when he was in Rome, he sought me diligently and found me
nambu pahikili ndu ku Loma atumbwili kunilonda mbaka peaniweni.
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.
Bambu amuhengela lipyana la Chapanga ligono ilo la kuhamuliwa! Na veve umanyili bwina gamahele geakitili ku Efeso.
