2 Timotawus 1
1 Bulus, kunan kaduran Kristi Yesu unuzun yinnu Kutelle, udofinu nalikawalin lai na udin nanya Kristi Yesu,
This letter comes from Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus chosen by God, sent to tell about the promise of real life that is in Christ Jesus.
2 udu kitin Timitawus, gono nsuu: Ubolu Kutelle, Ulanzun Kunekune, nin lissosin limang unuzu kiti Kutelle Ucif nin Yesu Kristi Cikilari bit.
I'm sending it to you Timothy, my dear son. May you have grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 In godo Kutelle, ulenge na ndinghe sujada ucizunu nacif nacif ning, nin kpilizu ulauwari ndin lizunu ninghinu nanya nlira ning. Kitik nin kirin.
I'm always thinking of you and I'm so thankful to God, whom I serve as my ancestors did, with a clear conscience. I never forget to mention you in my prayers.
4 Indi nin suu iyene minu, bara nna kulu nin nayi abo. Nlizino inmizin mine.
I remember how you cried, and I so want to see you! That would make me really happy.
5 Indin lizunu nin yinnu sa uyenu fe un kiden, ulenge na uwa di nanyan kaafe kishono Loyis a unafe Enus. Meng tutung in yinna udi lii nanyafe wang.
I keep in mind your sincere trust in God, the same trust that your grandmother Lois and mother Eunice also had—and I know that same trust continues in you.
6 Ilemon na itawari une ndin lizinfi ninwo ukuru ususo ula nfillu Kutelle nanyafe unuzu tardun cara ning.
That's why I want to remind you to revitalize God's gracious gift to you which you received when I placed my hands on you.
7 Bara na Kutelle nani nari Uruhu fiu ba, ama un likara nin suu a uteru nibinayi nsu nimon icine.
God didn't give us a spirit that makes us fearful, but a spirit of power and love and good sense.
8 Bara nani yenje uwa lanza ncin bellun bellen Cikilari bite, sa unaning, Bulus, kucin. Na koso nanya niu nliru ulaun nin likara Kutelle.
So don't be ashamed to tell others about our Lord, or be ashamed of me. Instead be ready to share in suffering for the good news as God gives you strength.
9 Urika na ana tuccu nari anin yicila nari nin yiculu ulau. Ana sunane, na bari nitwa bit ba, ama bara unme ukyewe nin bolu Kutelle. Awa ninari ile imone nanyan Kristi Yesu akubi dutu ucizunu wang. (aiōnios g166)
He is the one who has saved us and called us to live a holy life—not through what we do, but by God's own plan and through his grace. (aiōnios g166)
10 Ama nene utucu Kutelle nnuzu kanang nanyan dakin nan Tucu Kristi Yesu. Kristiari nati ligan nkul anin danin lai ulenge na udinin ligang ba udu nkanang nanyan liru ulau.
He gave this grace to us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time, and is now revealed in the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus. He destroyed death, making life and immortality brilliantly clear through the good news.
11 Bara ile imone, iwati unan wazi, unan katwa, nin nan dursuzu.
I was appointed speaker, apostle, and teacher of this good news.
12 Bara ka katwawe meng din niu imon ilele. Ama na ndin lanzu ncin ba, bara inyirughe ame ulenge na nyinna ninghe. Meng dinin likara kibinai nwo ame wasa aceo ileli imone na nna yinnin ninghe nnaghe udu loli lire.
That's also the reason I'm suffering all this, but I'm not ashamed, because I know whom I've trusted. I'm confident that he can look after what I've entrusted to him until the Day he returns.
13 Ceo kulap nidura nicine na una lanza kiti ning, nin yinnu sa uyenu a usuu ulenge na udi nanyan Kristi Yesu.
You should follow the model of good advice that you learned from me, with an attitude of trust and love in Christ Jesus.
14 Imon icine ilenge na Kutelle na ni nacara, kese ining libaun Ruhu ulau, urika na udi nanghirik.
Guard the truth that was entrusted to you through the Holy Spirit who lives in us.
15 Uyiru nin nilenge imon, nwo vat nalenge na issosin Asiya na kpilayi kimal. Nnyan mine a pajelus nin n Hemojines.
You already know that everyone from Asia has abandoned me, including Phygelus and Hermogenes.
16 Na Kutelle ti nkunekune me kilarin Onismus, bara kolome liri asa anayi nmang na tutung awa lanza ncin tishot ninghe ba.
May the Lord be kind to the family of Onesiphorus, because he often took care of me and wasn't embarrassed about me being in prison.
17 Kube na awadin Rum, awa pizurui kang, anin seyi.
When he was in Rome, he took the trouble to search for me, and he found me.
18 Na Kutelle tighe ase nkunekune kiti me liri lole. Tutung vat tibauto na awa buni in Afisu, fe yiru gegeme.
May the Lord grant him his blessing in the Day of Judgment. (Timothy, you're very much aware of how much Onesiphorus did for me when he was in Ephesus.)
