2 Timothy 1

1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus, through the will of God, —according to the promise of life in Christ Jesus; —

Pawulo, mutumwa wa Kkilisito Jesu mukwiinda mu luyando lwaLeza, mukwiinda mu chisyomezyo cha buumi buli muli Kkilisito Jesu,

2 Unto Timothy, my beloved child: Favour, mercy, peace, from God our Father, and Christ Jesus our Lord.

kuli Timoti, mwana muyandwi: Luzyalo, lweetelelo a luumuno kuzwa kuli Leza Taata aKkilisito Jesu Mwaami wesu.

3 Grateful, am I, unto God, —unto whom I am rendering divine service from my progenitors in a pure conscience, that, incessant, hold I the remembrance, concerning thee, in my supplications; day and night,

Ndilumba Leza, ngwekomba kuzwa kuli bamataata, amoyo uutakwe kampenda, mbuli mbemuyeya munkombyo zyangu mansiku a sikati.

4 longing to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, —in order that, with joy, I may be filled:

Mbuli mbendiyeya misozi yako, ndiyandisya kukubona, kuti ndizule alukondo.

5 A reminder, having received, of the unfeigned faith, that is in thee, —such, as dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and in thy mother Eunice, —I am persuaded, moreover, that [it dwelleth], in thee also.

Ndali kuyeezegwa alusyomo lwako lwinilwini, oolo lwakali muli banyookulu Loyisi anbanyoko Yunisi, alimwi ndili aakasimpe kuti lulakkala mulinduwe ayebo.

6 For which cause, I put thee in remembrance, to be stirring up God’s gift of favour, which is in thee through means of the laying on of my hands;

Nkenkaako nkendakuyeezezya kuti ubukulusye chipo chaLeza chili mulinduwe chakaba kandikubika maboko.

7 For God hath not given us a spirit of cowardice, but of power, and love, and correction.

Nkaambo Leza taakatupa muuya wabuyoofu, pesi wamanguzu a luyando akulibamba.

8 Be not thou, therefore, put to shame—with regard to the witness of our Lord, nor with regard to me his prisoner; but suffer hardship together with the glad-message 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 hath saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to the peculiar purpose and favour—which was given to us in Christ Jesus before age-during times, (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 hath now been made manifest through means of the forthshining of our Saviour Christ Jesus, —Who, indeed, hath abolished death, and hath thrown light upon life and incorruptibility, through means of the glad-message:

Pesi lino lufutuko lwaLeza lwakayubununwa mukulibonia kwaMufutuli wesu Kkilisito Jesu. NguKkilisito wakamaninsya lufu akweeta buumi butamani kumunika kwiindila mumakani mabotu.

11 Whereunto, I, have been appointed herald and apostle and teacher;

Nkaambo kacheechi, nchindakasalwa kuba mukambawusi, mutumwa, alimwi muyiisi.

12 For which cause, these things also, am I suffering; nevertheless I am not being put to shame, for I know him whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is, able, to guard, that which I have entrusted, [to him] unto, 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 An outline, have thou, of healthful discourses which from me thou hast heard—with the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus:

Bamba chitondeezyo chamajwi aamvwika aayo nguwakamvwa kulindime, alusyomo aluyando eezyo zili muli Kkilisito Jesu.

14 The noble thing entrusted [to thee], do thou guard, through means of the Holy Spirit which dwelleth within us.

Zintu zibotu Leza nzyaakakupa, zibambe mukwiinda mu Muuya Uusalala, uukkala mulindiswe.

15 Thou knowest this—that all they who are in Asia have turned away from me, —of whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.

Ulichizi eechi, kuti boonse bakkala kuAsiya bakandipapila. Mukabunga aaka muli Figelasi a Hemojinisi.

16 The Lord grant mercy unto the house, of Onesiphorus, in that, ofttimes, hath he refreshed me, and, as regardeth my chain, hath not been put to shame,

Mwaami ngape luzyalo kun'anda ya Onesifolasi, nkaambo wakali kundibukulusya alimwi taakaba aamawuse aakwaangwa kwangu.

17 But, happening to be in Rome, he diligently sought out and found me, —

Nikubaboobo, nakali kuLoma, wakandiyanduula chabusungu, alimwi wakandijana.

18 The Lord grant him to find mercy from [the] Lord in, that, day; —and, how many times, in Ephesus, he hath ministered, better art, thou, getting to know.

Mwaami amujanie luzyalo kulinguwe muli eelyo zuba. Nzila zyoonse nzyakandigwasya mu Efeso, ulizi kabotu.
