2 Timotawus 1
1 Bulus, kunan kaduran Kristi Yesu unuzun yinnu Kutelle, udofinu nalikawalin lai na udin nanya Kristi Yesu,
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,
2 udu kitin Timitawus, gono nsuu: Ubolu Kutelle, Ulanzun Kunekune, nin lissosin limang unuzu kiti Kutelle Ucif nin Yesu Kristi Cikilari bit.
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.
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 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,
4 Indi nin suu iyene minu, bara nna kulu nin nayi abo. Nlizino inmizin mine.
as I think of your tears, longing to see you, that my happiness may be completed,
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.
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.
6 Ilemon na itawari une ndin lizinfi ninwo ukuru ususo ula nfillu Kutelle nanyafe unuzu tardun cara ning.
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.
7 Bara na Kutelle nani nari Uruhu fiu ba, ama un likara nin suu a uteru nibinayi nsu nimon icine.
For the Spirit which God gave us was not a spirit of cowardice, but a spirit of power, love, and self-control.
8 Bara nani yenje uwa lanza ncin bellun bellen Cikilari bite, sa unaning, Bulus, kucin. Na koso nanya niu nliru ulaun nin likara Kutelle.
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.
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)
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 fulfilment of his own loving purpose. For that love was extended to us, through Christ Jesus, before time began, (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.
and has now been made apparent through the appearing of our Saviour, Christ Jesus; who has made an end of death, and has brought life and immortality to light by that good news,
11 Bara ile imone, iwati unan wazi, unan katwa, nin nan dursuzu.
of which I was myself appointed a herald, apostle, and teacher.
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 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.
13 Ceo kulap nidura nicine na una lanza kiti ning, nin yinnu sa uyenu a usuu ulenge na udi nanyan Kristi Yesu.
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.
14 Imon icine ilenge na Kutelle na ni nacara, kese ining libaun Ruhu ulau, urika na udi nanghirik.
Guard by the help of the Holy Spirit, who is within us, the glorious trust that has been committed to you.
15 Uyiru nin nilenge imon, nwo vat nalenge na issosin Asiya na kpilayi kimal. Nnyan mine a pajelus nin n Hemojines.
You know, of course, that all our friends in Roman Asia turned their backs on me, including Phygellus 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 show mercy to the household of Onesiphorus; for he often cheered me and was not ashamed of my chains.
17 Kube na awadin Rum, awa pizurui kang, anin seyi.
On the contrary, when he arrived in Rome, he sought eagerly for me until he found me.
18 Na Kutelle tighe ase nkunekune kiti me liri lole. Tutung vat tibauto na awa buni in Afisu, fe yiru gegeme.
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.
