2 Timothy 1
Christian Standard Bible
Greeting
1 Paul,(A) an apostle of Christ Jesus by God’s will,(B) for the sake of the promise of life(C) in Christ Jesus:
2 To Timothy, my dearly loved son.
Grace, mercy, and peace(D) from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
Thanksgiving
3 I thank God, whom I serve with a clear conscience(E) as my ancestors did, when I constantly remember you in my prayers night and day.(F) 4 Remembering your tears, I long to see you so that I may be filled with joy. 5 I recall your sincere faith(G) that first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice(H) and now, I am convinced, is in you also.
6 Therefore, I remind you to rekindle the gift of God that is in you through the laying on of my hands.(I) 7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear,(J) but one of power,[a](K) love,(L) and sound judgment.
Not Ashamed of the Gospel
8 So don’t be ashamed(M) of the testimony about our Lord,(N) or of me his prisoner.(O) Instead, share in suffering for the gospel, relying on the power(P) of God. 9 He has saved us and called us with a holy calling,(Q) not according to our works,(R) but according to his own purpose(S) and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began. 10 This has now been made evident through the appearing(T) of our Savior Christ Jesus, who has abolished death(U) and has brought life(V) and immortality to light through the gospel. 11 For this gospel I was appointed(W) a herald, apostle, and teacher,[b] 12 and that is why I suffer(X) these things. But I am not ashamed, because I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that he is able to guard what has been entrusted to me[c](Y) until that day.(Z)
Be Loyal to the Faith
13 Hold on to the pattern of sound teaching(AA) that you have heard from me,(AB) in the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. 14 Guard the good deposit through the Holy Spirit who lives in us. 15 You know that all those in the province of Asia(AC) have deserted me,(AD) including Phygelus and Hermogenes. 16 May the Lord grant mercy(AE) to the household of Onesiphorus,(AF) because he often refreshed me(AG) and was not ashamed of my chains.(AH) 17 On the contrary, when he was in Rome,(AI) he diligently searched for me and found me. 18 May the Lord grant that he obtain mercy(AJ) from him on that day. You know very well how much he ministered at Ephesus.(AK)
2 Timoseewo 1
Endagaano Enkadde nʼEndagaano Empya
1 (A)Nze, Pawulo, omutume wa Kristo Yesu olw’okwagala kwa Katonda, ng’okusuubiza bwe kuli okw’obulamu obuli mu Kristo Yesu, 2 (B)nkuwandiikira ggwe Timoseewo omwana wange omwagalwa, nga nkwagaliza ekisa n’okusaasirwa, n’emirembe ebiva eri Katonda Kitaffe, ne Kristo Yesu Mukama waffe.
Okwebaza n’Okugumya
3 (C)Neebaza Katonda gwe mpeereza mu mwoyo omulungi nga bajjajjange bwe baakola, nga nkujjukira obutayosa mu kusaba kwange emisana n’ekiro. 4 (D)Bwe nzijukira amaziga go ne neegomba okukulaba ndyoke nzijule essanyu. 5 (E)Nzijukira okukkiriza kwo okw’amazima olubereberye okwali mu jjajjaawo Looyi ne mukadde wo Ewuniike; era nga nkakasiza ddala nga naawe okulina. 6 (F)Kyenva nkujjukiza okuseesanga ekirabo kya Katonda ekiri mu ggwe kye yakuwa, bwe nakussaako emikono gyange. 7 (G)Kubanga Mwoyo wa Katonda, gwe yatuwa tatufuula bati, wabula atuwa amaanyi, n’okwagala era n’okwegendereza.
8 (H)Noolwekyo tokwatibwa nsonyi kwogera ku bya Mukama waffe, wadde ku nze omusibe we, wabula naawe bonaabona olw’Enjiri ng’oyambibwa amaanyi ga Katonda, 9 (I)eyatulokola n’atuyita tubeere babe. Ekyo yakikola nga tasinziira ku bikolwa byaffe, wabula ng’asinziira mu kuyitibwa okutukuvu, si ng’ebikolwa byaffe bwe biri, naye olw’ekigendererwa kye ye, n’ekisa kye, kye yatukwatirwa ng’ayita mu Kristo Yesu okuva edda n’edda Lyonna. 10 (J)Kaakano ekisa ekyo kyolesebbwa mu kulabika kw’Omulokozi waffe Kristo Yesu eyaggyawo okufa, n’aleeta obulamu obutazikirizibwa ng’ayita mu Njiri, 11 (K)gye nalonderwa okugisaasaanya, n’okuba omutume, era omuyigiriza, 12 (L)era kyenva mbonaabona bwe ntyo. Kyokka sikwatibwa nsonyi, kubanga mmanyi gwe nakkiriza, era nkakasa nti ayinza okukuuma ekyo kye namuteresa okutuusa olunaku luli.
13 (M)Gobereranga ebigambo ebireeta obulamu bye wawulira njogera, mu kukkiriza ne mu kwagala mu Kristo Yesu. 14 (N)Ekintu ekirungi eky’omuwendo kye wateresebwa kikuumenga ng’oyambibwa Mwoyo Mutukuvu abeera mu ffe.
15 (O)Kino okimanyi, ng’ab’omu Asiya bonna banjabulira, mu abo mwe muli Fugero ne Kerumogene.
16 (P)Mukama akwatirwe ekisa ab’omu nnyumba ya Onesifolo, kubanga yambeesabeesa emirundi mingi era teyankwatirwa nsonyi kubanga ndi musibe; 17 bwe yatuuka e Ruumi, yafuba nnyo okunnoonya era n’anzuula. 18 (Q)Mukama amukwatirwe ekisa ku lunaku luli. Era gw’omanyi bulungi nnyo byonna bye yakola mu Efeso.
