2 Timoty 1

1 Paoly, Apostolin’ i Kristy Jesosy noho ny sitrapon’ Andriamanitra, mba ho mpitory ny teny fikasana milaza ny fiainana izay ao amin’ i Kristy Jesosy,

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, according to the promise of the life which is in Christ Jesus,

2 mamangy an’ i Timoty, zanako malala: ho aminao anie ny fahasoavana sy ny famindram-po ary ny fiadanana avy amin’ Andriamanitra Ray sy Kristy Jesosy Tompontsika.

to Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

3 Misaotra an’ Andriamanitra aho, Izay tompoiko araka ny nataon’ ny razako amin’ ny fieritreretana madio, fa tsy manam-pitsaharana akory ny fahatsiarovako anao amin’ ny fivavahako andro aman’ alina;

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

4 ary maniry hahita anao aho (satria tsaroako ny ranomasonao), mba ho feno fifaliana aho;

longing to see you, remembering your tears, that I may be filled with joy;

5 fa nisy nahatsiarovako ny finoana tsy mihatsaravelatsihy izay ao anatinao, izay nitoetra taloha tao anatin’ i Loisa renibenao sy Eonika reninao, ary matoky aho fa ao anatinao koa izany.

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.

6 Ary noho izany dia mampahatsiaro anao aho mba hamelomanao ny fanomezam-pahasoavana avy amin’ Andriamanitra, izay ao anatinao tamin’ ny fametrahako ny tanako.

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.

7 Fa tsy nomen’ Andriamanitra fanahy osa isika, fa fanahy mahery sy fitiavana ary fahononan-tena.

For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.

8 Koa aza menatra ny ho vavolombelon’ ny Tompontsika, na ahy mpifatony ianao; fa aoka ianao ho mpiombona ny fahoriana noho ny filazantsara araka ny herin’ Andriamanitra,

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,

9 Izay namonjy antsika sy niantso antsika tamin’ ny fiantsoana masìna, tsy araka ny asantsika, fa araka ny fikasany sy ny fahasoavany izay nomena antsika tao amin’ i Kristy Jesosy hatry ny fony fahagola; (aiōnios g166)

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)

10 fa naharihary ankehitriny tamin’ ny nisehoan’ i Kristy Jesosy, Mpamonjy antsika, Izay nahafoana ny herin’ ny fahafatesana, ka ny filazantsara no nampisehoany mazava ny fiainana sy ny tsi-fahalòvana mandrakizay;

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.

11 ny amin’ io filazantsara io no nanendrena ahy ho mpitory sy Apostoly ary mpampianatra.

For this I was appointed as a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.

12 Ary noho izany koa no iaretako izao zavatra izao, ka tsy menatra aho, satria fantatro Izay inoako, ary matoky aho fa Izy dia mahatahiry ilay zavatra natolotro Azy mandra-pihavin’ izay andro izay.

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.

13 Tano amin’ ny finoana ny ny fitiavana ao amin’ i Kristy Jesosy ny mariky ny teny tsy misy kilema, izay efa renao tamiko.

Hold the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

14 Ilay zavatra tsara natolotra anao dia tehirizo amin’ ny fampaherezan’ ny Fanahy Masìna, Izay mitoetra ao anatintsika.

That good thing which was committed to you, guard through the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.

15 Fantatrao fa efa nahafoy ahy izay rehetra any Asia; isan’ ireny Fygelo sy Hermogena.

This you know, that all who are in Asia turned away from me, of whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.

16 Homen’ ny Tompo famindram-po anie ny ankohonan’ i Onesiforosy; satria namelombelona ny fanahiko matetika izy, fa tsy menatra ny gadrako;

May the Lord grant mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain,

17 fa raha tany Roma izy, dia nitady ahy fatratra ka nahita

but when he was in Rome, he sought me diligently and found me

18 (ny Tompo anie hampahita azy famindram-po amin’ ny Tompo amin’ izay andro izay); ary ny hafatratry ny nanompoany ahy tany Efesosy dia fantatrao tsara.

(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.
