1Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, according to the promise of the life which is in Christ Jesus,
1Nekk Bulus aqeddac n Ɛisa Lmasiḥ s lebɣi n Sidi Ṛebbi, țwaceggɛeɣ ad beccṛeɣ tudert i ɣ-iwɛed Sidi Ṛebbi di Ɛisa Lmasiḥ.
2to Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
2A Timuti a mmi eɛzizen : leɛfu, ṛṛeḥma ț-țalwit a k-d-țțunefkent s ɣuṛ Sidi Ṛebbi baba-tneɣ akk-d Ɛisa Lmasiḥ Ssid-nneɣ.
3I 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
3?ḥemmideɣ Sidi Ṛebbi i ɣef qeddceɣ s wul yeṣfan akken qedcen fell-as lejdud-iw, deɛɛuɣ fell-ak am yiḍ am ass ;
4longing to see you, remembering your tears, that I may be filled with joy;
4m'ara d-mmektiɣ imeṭṭawen-ik, țḥiriɣ melmi ara k-ẓreɣ iwakken ad iliɣ di lfeṛḥ.
5having 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.
5?mektayeɣ-ed neyya-nni i tesɛiḍ di liman, akken i ț-tesɛa sețți-k Luiza akk-d yemma-k Anisa ; tḥeqqeqeɣ belli ar ass-a mazal-iț deg wul-ik.
6For 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.
6Daymi bɣiɣ a k-weṣṣiɣ a d tessakiḍ tikci-nni i k-d-yețțunefken s ɣuṛ Ṛebbi asm'akken i sserseɣ ifassen-iw fell-ak.
7For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.
7Axaṭer mačči d Ṛṛuḥ n ukukru i ɣ-d-yefka Sidi Ṛebbi meɛna d Ṛṛuḥ yeččuṛen ț-țazmert d leḥmala akk-d leɛqel.
8Therefore 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,
8Ihi ur țsetḥi ara aț-țcehdeḍ ɣef Ssid-nneɣ, ur țsetḥi ara daɣen yis-i nekk yellan d ameḥbus ɣef ddemma-s. Meɛna eqbel leɛtab yid-i ɣef ddemma n lexbaṛ n lxiṛ, țkel ɣef tezmert i d-yețțak Sidi Ṛebbi.
9who 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,
9D nețța i ɣ-isellken, i ɣ-d-issawlen ɣer tudert iqedsen, ayagi mačči ɣef ddemma n lecɣal-nneɣ meɛna d nețța i gebɣan s ṛṛeḥma-ines i ɣ-d yețțunefken s Ɛisa Lmasiḥ uqbel a d-texleq ddunit.
10but 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.
10Ṛṛeḥma-agi tban-ed tura s tisin n wemsellek-nneɣ Ɛisa Lmasiḥ, i gɣelben lmut, ibeggen-ed tafat n tudert ur nețfaka s lexbaṛ n lxiṛ.
11For this, I was appointed as a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.
11?ef ddemma n lexbaṛ-agi n lxiṛ i d-țțucegɛeɣ d ṛṛasul iwakken ad beccṛeɣ, ad slemdeɣ.
12For 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.
12Daymi i țenɛețțabeɣ tura, meɛna ur ssetḥaɣ ara axaṭer ẓriɣ anwa s wayes umneɣ, yerna țekleɣ fell-as yesɛa tazmert ad yeḥrez ayen akken i ɣef iyi-iwekkel alamma d ass n tuɣalin-is.
13Hold the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
13?rez imeslayen iqedsen i tlemdeḍ s ɣuṛ-i, eddu yis-sen s liman d leḥmala i nesɛa di Ɛisa Lmasiḥ.
14That good thing which was committed to you, guard through the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.
14?rez mliḥ deg ul-ik ayen akken i tlemḍeḍ, s tezmert n Ṛṛuḥ iqedsen i gzedɣen deg-nneɣ.
15This you know, that all who are in Asia turned away from me; of whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.
15Teẓriḍ belli wid akk yellan yid-i di tmurt n Asya ǧǧan-iyi weḥd-i, llan gar-asen Figilus d ?irmujinus.
16May the Lord grant mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain,
16Ad ibarek Sidi Ṛebbi axxam n gma-tneɣ Unisifur axaṭer daymen yețṣebbiṛ-iyi, ur yessetḥa ara yis-i imi di lḥebs i lliɣ ;
17but when he was in Rome, he sought me diligently, and found me
17lameɛna akken kan i d-yusa ɣer temdint n Ṛuma inuda fell-i armi i yi-yufa.
18(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.
18Teẓriḍ acḥal i yi-iɛawen asmi lliɣ di temdint n Ifasus. A d-yessers Ṛebbi fell-as ṛṛeḥma-s deg ass n tuɣalin n Ɛisa Lmasiḥ.
