¹Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus,

²Sura toi ngkai aku' Paulus, kupakatu tilou hi iko Timotius, ana' -ku to kupe'ahi'. Ntuku' konoa Alata'ala na'ongko' -ama jadi' suro Kristus Yesus, bona mpoparata kareba pojanci Alata'ala. Pojanci Alata'ala toe: kamporata-ta katuwua' to lompe' duu' kahae-hae-na, ngkai posidaia' -ta hante Kristus Yesus. Wori' tabe: mekakae-a hi Alata'ala Tuama-ta pai' hi Kristus Yesus Pue' -ta, kuperapi' bona nagane' -ko ngkai kabula rala-na, napopohiloi-ko ahi' -na, pai' nawai' -ko kalompea' tuwu'.

²To Timothy, my dearly beloved son: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

³Lomo' -na, aku' mpo'uli' tarima kasi hi Alata'ala to kupue' hante karoli' nono-ku, hewa pepue' -ra ntu'a-ku owi. Mpo'uli' tarima kasi oa' -a hi Alata'ala sabana iko Timotius, pai' uma-a putu mpokiwoi-ko hi rala posampaya-ku, lompe' hi eo-na lompe' hi bengi-na.

³I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with pure conscience, that without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day;

⁴Kupolio oa' kamo'ili ue mata-nu geo'. Pai' lentora-ama doko' mpohilo-ko, bona hono' kagoea' -ku.

⁴Greatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy;

⁵Motarima kasi mpu'u-a hi Alata'ala, apa' kukiwoi moto pepangala' -nu hi Pue' Yesus hante nono-nu mpu'u. Lomo' -na to mepangala' hi Yesus, ntu'a-nu Lois pai' tina-nu Eunike. Pai' iko wo'o Timotius, kuparasaya pepangala' -nu bate hewa pepangala' -ra tina-nu pai' ntu'a-nu.

⁵When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also.

⁶Jadi', Timotius! Toe pai' kupopokiwoii-ko bona nu'apui moto nono-nu, bona neo' -ko lente mpobago bago to nakolai' -koko Alata'ala, nto'u-na kujama woo' -nu mpo'ongko' -ko jadi' pangkeni agama.

⁶Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.

⁷Neo' -ko me'eka' mpobago bago-nu toe, apa' ane ria ka'ekaa' hi rala nono-ta, ka'ekaa' toe bela-i to ngkai Alata'ala. Apa' Alata'ala mpowai' -ta Inoha' Tomoroli', pai' Inoha' Tomoroli' toei mpowai' -ta karohoa mpokamu bago-ta, mpoka'ahi' doo, pai' mpengkatarii konoa-ta moto.

⁷For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

⁸Toe pai' kuparesai' -ko, bona neo' -ko me'ea' jadi' sabi' Pue' -ta, pai' neo' wo'o-ko me'ea' mpangaku' ka'aku' -na doo-nu apa' ratarungku' -a-kuna. Apa' pai' -a ratarungku' toi-e, sabana pobago-ku mpokeni Kareba Pue'. Jadi' iko wo'o Timotius, kana mosadia wo'o-ko-kowo mpokolo kaparia sabana pobago-nu mpokeni Kareba Lompe'. Alata'ala moto to mpowai' -ko karohoa mpokolo kaparia toe.

⁸Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God;

⁹Nahore-tamo ngkai huku' jeko' -ta pai' nakio' -ta jadi' bagia-na to moroli'. Nahore pai' nakio' -ta toe, uma sabana po'ingku-ta to lompe'. Nababehi toe, muntu' ngkai kabula rala-na, pai' ntuku' patuju-na moto-hawo. Apa' kako'ia-na dunia' rapajadi', ria ami' -mi patuju-na Alata'ala mpowai' -ta kalompea' ngkai kabula rala-na sabana posidaia' -ta hante Kristus Yesus.

⁹Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,

¹⁰Pai' hewa toe lau, napadupa' mpu'u-mi patuju-na toe, apa' rata-imi Yesus Kristus jadi' Magau' Tompohore-ta ngkai huku' jeko' -ta. Yesus mpodagi kamatea-- batua-na: nau' mate-ta mpai', napotuwu' nculii' moto-ta hi eo mpeno pai' nawai' -ta katuwua' to uma ria kahudua-na, ane mepangala' -ta hi Kareba Lompe'.

¹⁰But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:

¹¹Toe pai' na'ongko' -ama Alata'ala jadi' suro Pue' Yesus, bona aku' mpoparata Kareba Lompe' toi hi tauna to bela-ra to Yahudi, pai' mpotudui' -ra bona mepangala' -ra hi Yesus.

¹¹Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.

¹²Jadi', ngkai pobago-ku mpokeni Kareba Lompe' toe-e, pai' alaa-ku mporata kaparia duu' -na ratarungku' -ama tohe'i-e. Aga nau' wae, uma-a me'ea'. Apa' ku'inca kahema-na to kupangala', pai' kusarumaka Hi'a-damo to mpewili' -a, pai' bate monoto hi rala nono-ku kamobaraka' -na mpewili' -a duu' rata hi Eo Kiama.

¹²For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.

¹³Timotius! Kiwoi tudui' to nu'epe ngkai aku'. Tudui' toe-mi to makono, pai' tudui' toe-mi to kana nupotonco oa'. Neo' nubahakai mepangala' hi Kristus Yesus pai' mpoka'ahi' doo ngkai posidaia' -nu hante Kristus Yesus.

¹³Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

¹⁴Alata'ala mposarumaka-ta mpokeni tudui' to makono. Jadi', hante petulungi-na Inoha' Tomoroli' to mo'oha' hi rala nono-ta, jaga lompe' tudui' toe, neo' nupelele' ba hema-hema mpohala'tara.

¹⁴That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us.

¹⁵Nu'inca moto, ngkai hawe'ea to Kristen hi propinsi Asia, neo' uma-pi haduaa to tono' hi aku'. Bangku' hira' Figelus pai' Hermogenes, rapalahii-ama-kuna.

¹⁵This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia be turned away from me; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.

¹⁸Aga ane Onesiforus-hana, wori' ngkani-i mpotanta'u-a. Apa' nau' ratarungku' -a, uma-i me'ea' mpokinomo-a. Karata-na hi Roma rei, nahuduwukui mpopali' -a, duu' napohirua' -maka. Pai' nu'inca moto kawori' petulungia-na hi aku' wengi bula-ku hi Efesus. Mekakae-a hi Pue', kuperapi' bona nagane' hawe'ea ompi' -na Onesiforus, pai' bona napopohiloi ahi' -na hi Onesiforus hi Eo Kiama.

¹⁶The Lord give mercy unto the house of Onesiphorus; for he oft refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain:

¹⁷But, when he was in Rome, he sought me out very diligently, and found me.

¹⁸The Lord grant unto him that he may find mercy of the Lord in that day: and in how many things he ministered unto me at Ephesus, thou knowest very well.
