1 Man Pool, ndawul Yeesu Kirist ci coobareg Yàlla, ngir xamle dund gi nu Yàlla dig te féete ci Kirist Yeesu,
1Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, according to the promise of the life which is in Christ Jesus,
2 maa ngi lay bind Timote, sama doomu diine ji ma bëgg. Na la Yàlla Baay bi ak Kirist Yeesu sunu Boroom may yiw, yërmande ak jàmm.
2to Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 Fu ma tollu maa ngi lay boole ci samay ñaan, di ci sant Yàlla, mi may jaamu ci xel mu dal, ni ko samay maam daan defe. Guddi ak bëccëg, bu sama xel demee ci say rangooñ,
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
4 ma bëgg laa gis, ba am mbég mu réy.
4longing to see you, remembering your tears, that I may be filled with joy;
5 Maa ngi fàttaliku sa ngëm gu dëggu, gi nekkoon ci sa maam Lowis ak sa yaay Ënis, te mu wóor ma ne, sax na ci yaw it.
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.
6 Looloo tax maa ngi lay fàttali, nga xambaat taal bi Yàlla taal ci yaw, di may gi mu la jagleel, bi ma la tegee samay loxo.
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.
7 Ndaxte Xel mi nu Yàlla sol du ànd ak ragal, waaye day ànd ak kàttan, mbëggeel ak moom sa bopp.
7For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.
8 Bul rus ci seedeel sunu Boroom, mbaa ci li ñu ma tëj ndax turam, waaye bokkal ak man tiis ci xamle xebaar bu baax bi, wéeru ci kàttanu Yàlla.
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,
9 Moo nu musal te woo nu ci dund gu sell, ci lu ajuwul ci sunuy jëf, waaye ci dogalu boppam ak yiwam, wi nu Yàlla may ci Kirist Yeesu, ba àddina sosoogul.
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,
10 Te léegi biral na ko ci feeñug sunu Musalkat Kirist Yeesu, mi nasaxal dee te feeñal dund ci xebaar bu baax bi, te muy dund gu sax.
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.
11 Te Yàlla fal na ma ndaw ak jàngalekat, ngir may yégle xebaar bi;
11For this, I was appointed as a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.
12 looloo tax ma jànkoonte ak tiis yu mel nii. Waaye rusuma ci, ndaxte xam naa Ki ma wékk sama yaakaar, te wóor na ma ne, li ma ko dénk, man na koo denc ba bés ba.
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.
13 Toppal ci tànki wax yu wér yi nga dégge ci man, jàpp ci ak ngëm ak mbëggeel, yi nu am ci sunu bokk ci Kirist Yeesu.
13Hold the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
14 Te nga sàmm bu baax li la Yàlla dénk, wéeru ci Xel mu Sell, mi dëkk ci nun.
14That good thing which was committed to you, guard through the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.
15 Xam nga ne, waa diiwaanu Asi gépp, won nañu ma gannaaw, ñu deme niki Fusel ak Ermosen.
15This you know, that all who are in Asia turned away from me; of whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.
16 Waaye Onesifor daa na faral di dëfël sama xol; na Boroom bi sotti yërmandeem ci këram. Rusul woon sax ci samay jéng,
16May the Lord grant mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain,
17 waaye bi mu ñëwee dëkku Room, wut na ma fu ne, ba gis ma.
17but when he was in Rome, he sought me diligently, and found me
18 Na ko Boroom bi teeru ak yërmandeem ca bés ba. Umplewoo it coono yi mu daj, ngir dimbali ma ca dëkku Efes.
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.
