2 Timotheo 1
Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
Berean Standard Bible
1Mimi Paulo, ambaye Mungu alitaka niwe mtume wa Kristo Yesu ili niutangaze ule uzima tulioahidiwa katika kuungana na Kristo Yesu,
1Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, according to the promise of life in Christ Jesus,
2nakuandikia wewe mwanangu mpenzi Timotheo. Nakutakia neema, huruma na amani kutoka kwa Mungu Baba na Kristo Yesu Bwana wetu.
2To Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3Ninamshukuru Mungu ambaye ninamtumikia kwa dhamiri safi kama walivyofanya wazee wangu; namshukuru kila ninapokukumbuka daima katika sala zangu.
3I thank God, whom I serve with a clear conscience as did my forefathers, as I constantly remember you night and day in my prayers.
4Nakumbuka machozi yako na ninatamani usiku na mchana kukuona, ili nijazwe furaha.
4Recalling your tears, I long to see you so that I may be filled with joy.
5Naikumbuka imani yako ya kweli, imani aliyokuwa nayo nyanya yako Loisi, na pia mama yako Eunike. Nina hakika kwamba wewe pia unayo.
5I am reminded of your sincere faith, which first dwelt in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am convinced is in you as well.
6Ndio maana nakukumbusha ukiweke motomoto kile kipaji ulichopewa na Mungu wakati nilipokuwekea mikono yangu.
6For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands.
7Kwa maana Mungu hakutupa Roho wa kutufanya tuwe waoga, bali alitupa Roho wa kutujalia nguvu, upendo na nidhamu.
7For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.
8Basi, usione haya kumshuhudia Bwana wetu, wala usione haya kwa sababu yangu mimi niliye mfungwa kwa ajili yake. Lakini shiriki katika mateso kwa ajili ya Habari Njema, kadiri ya nguvu unazopewa na Mungu.
8So do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, or of me, His prisoner. Instead, join me in suffering for the gospel by the power of God.
9Yeye alituokoa, akatuita tuwe watu wake yeye mwenyewe, si kwa sababu ya matendo yetu wenyewe bali kwa sababu ya kusudi lake na neema yake. Alitujalia neema hiyo katika Kristo Yesu kabla mwanzo wa nyakati;
9He has saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works, but by His own purpose and by the grace He granted us in Christ Jesus before time began.
10lakini sasa imefunuliwa kwetu kwa kuja kwake Mwokozi wetu Yesu Kristo. Yeye amekomesha nguvu za kifo, na kwa njia ya Habari Njema akadhihirisha uzima usio kufa.
10And now He has revealed this grace through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has abolished death and illuminated the way to life and immortality through the gospel,
11Mungu amenichagua mimi niwe mtume na mwalimu kwa ajili ya kuhubiri Habari Njema,
11to which I was appointed as a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher.
12nami nateseka mambo haya kwa sababu hiyo. Lakini niko bado timamu kabisa kwani namjua yule niliyemwamini, tena nina hakika kwamba yeye aweza kukilinda salama kile alichonikabidhi, mpaka Siku ile.
12For this reason, even though I suffer as I do, I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed, and I am convinced that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him for that day.
13Shika kwa makini mafundisho yale ya kweli niliyokufundisha, na kubaki katika hiyo imani na huo upendo wetu katika kuungana na Kristo Yesu.
13Hold on to the pattern of sound teaching you have heard from me, with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.
14Jambo lile bora ulilokabidhiwa lilinde kwa nguvu ya Roho Mtakatifu anayeishi ndani yetu.
14Guard the treasure entrusted to you, with the help of the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.
15Kama unavyojua, watu wote mkoani Asia wameniacha, miongoni mwao wakiwa Fugelo na Hermogene.
15You know that everyone in the Province of Asia has deserted me, including Phygelus and Hermogenes.
16Bwana aihurumie jamaa ya Onesiforo, kwa sababu aliniburudisha rohoni mara nyingi, wala hakuona haya kwa kuwa nilikuwa kifungoni,
16May the Lord grant mercy to the household of Onesiphorus, because he has often refreshed me and was unashamed of my chains.
17ila mara tu alipofika Roma, alianza kunitafuta kwa bidii mpaka akanipata.
17Indeed, when he arrived in Rome, he searched diligently until he found me.
18Bwana amjalie huruma katika Siku ile! Nawe wajua vizuri mengi aliyonifanyia huko Efeso.
18May the Lord grant Onesiphorus His mercy on that day. You know very well how much he ministered to me in Ephesus.
