2 Timotheo 1

1 Paulo umuteme wa Yesu Kristo mkwenda kwa Nyamuanga, ukulubhana na omulago ogwobhuanga bhunu mbuli Mkristo 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 Kutimotheo omwana wani omwendwa echigongo, okusasilwa na omulembe okusoka kulata Nyamuanga na Kristo omukulu weswe.

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 Enimusima Nyamuanga unu enimukolela kumwoyo omwelu lwakutyo bhakolela bhalata nikechuka mwisabhwa lyani lya siku chona mungeta na mumwisi. enenda okukulola koleleki likondelelwa lifule,

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 enichuka amasikao kao.

I remember how you cried, and I so want to see you! That would make me really happy.

5 Nikechuka ukulubhana na elikilisha lliyo likomee kubhwambilo likae ku kaka wanyu Loisi na kunya kumwana wao Yunisi ninaechimali kulikilisha linu likae kwao.

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 Inu niyo injuno yo kukwichukisha okukungilisha echiyanwa cha Nyamuanga echochilimunda yaokunjila yokotelwako amabhoko ngani.

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 Kokubha Nyamuanga atachianile omwanyo ngwo bhubha, nawe amanaga nelyenda lyabhumunu.

God didn't give us a spirit that makes us fearful, but a spirit of power and love and good sense.

8 Kulwenjo wasiga kulola jiswalo ingulu yo bhubhambhasi bwa Lata bungenyi weswe. Nawe chikumanye munyako kulwemisango ja Nyamuanga kwenganiliye nobhutulo bwa Nyamuanga.

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 Nyamuanga achiluye nachibhilikila no obhuluka obhulengelesi. Atakolele kutwo okulinganilila nemilimu jeswe nokwingana, nechigongo na libhwi sombosi bhwae omwene. Achianile emisango jinu omwanya kuchali kwamba ku Yesu. (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 Mbhe nawe oli omwilulo ngwa Nyamuanga ngwamalile okufundulwa, okuja kumwilusi weswe Yesu Kristo, ni Yesu Kristo oyo abhutuye olufu nokuleta obhuwanga bhunu bhutanabhutelo kubhwelu bhwa Iinjili.

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 Kwa isonga nasolelwe okubha mulasha, omutumwa na omwikilisha.

I was appointed speaker, apostle, and teacher of this good news.

12 Kwa injuno heyo nanyakike ona, nawe ndakulola swalo okubhanye nimenyele unu ndamalile okwikilisha. Nine chimali omwene katula okubhika chinu angabhiye okukinga olusiku luliya.

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 Wichuke emisango chbhulengelesi jinu wonguwe okusoka kwaye, amwi nomulembe ngwelyenda ngunu ngulimu Yesu Kristo.

You should follow the model of good advice that you learned from me, with an attitude of trust and love in Christ Jesus.

14 Ubhike emisango jakisi jinu wayanilwe na ekae kwese.

Guard the truth that was entrusted to you through the Holy Spirit who lives in us.

15 Oumenya lwakutwo, abhanu bhanu bhenyajile Muesha bhasingile mulikofyanya elyo bhalimoFigilo na Hemogene.

You already know that everyone from Asia has abandoned me, including Phygelus and Hermogenes.

16 Rata aisasile inyumba ya onesiforo kwo kubha ngendo nyafu akondelesishe na atajiswaliliye amasika ngani.

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 Mbe nawe, olwo alinga Roma anyingile kwa managa ngona nabhona.

When he was in Rome, he took the trouble to search for me, and he found me.

18 Nyamuanga amwijusishe libhando okwiswalila okusoka kumwenene olusiku luliya. Lwakutyo asakiye anu nalinga nili Efeso awe umenyele kisi.

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.)
