2 تيموثاوس 2

١ 1 وَأَنْتَ يَا وَلَدِي، فَكُنْ قَوِيًّا فِي النِّعْمَةِ الَّتِي فِي الْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ.

So then, my son, grow strong in the grace of Christ Jesus.

٢ 2 وَالتَّعَالِيمُ الَّتِي سَمِعْتَهَا مِنِّي بِحُضُورِ شُهُودٍ عَدِيدِينَ، أَوْدِعْهَا أَمَانَةً بَيْنَ أَيْدِي أُنَاسٍ جَدِيرِينَ بِالثِّقَةِ، يَكُونُونَ قَادِرِينَ عَلَى تَعْلِيمِ الآخَرِينَ.

Take what you heard me say in front of many witnesses and share it with those who are trustworthy, who then can teach others as well.

٣ 3 شَارِكْ فِي احْتِمَالِ الآلامِ كَجُنْدِيٍّ صَالِحٍ لِلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ.

Suffer together with me like a good soldier of Christ Jesus.

٤ 4 وَمَا مِنْ مُجَنَّدٍ يُرْبِكُ نَفْسَهُ بِشُؤُونِ الْحَيَاةِ إِذَا رَغِبَ فِي إِرضَاءِ مَنْ جَنَّدَهُ.

A soldier on active duty doesn't get caught up in the business of everyday life. He wants to please the one who enlisted him.

٥ 5 كَمَا أَنَّ الْمُصَارِعَ لَا يَفُوزُ بِالإِكْلِيلِ إِلَّا إِذَا صَارَعَ بِحَسَبِ الْقَوَانِينِ.

Similarly athletes who compete in the games don't win a prize if they don't keep to the rules.

٦ 6 كَذَلِكَ الْفَلَّاحُ الَّذِي يَشْتَغِلُ بِجِدٍّ يَجِبُ أَنْ يَكُونَ أَوَّلَ مَنْ يَنَالُ حِصَّتَهُ مِنَ الْغَلَّةِ.

The farmer that does all the hard work should be the first to benefit from the crop.

٧ 7 فَكِّرْ فِي مَا أَقُولُهُ، فَإِنَّ الرَّبَّ سَيَهَبُكَ فَهْماً فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ.

Think about what I'm telling you. The Lord will help you to understand all this.

٨ 8 اذْكُرْ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحَ الَّذِي أُقِيمَ مِنَ الْمَوْتِ، وَهُوَ مِنْ نَسْلِ دَاوُدَ، كَمَا أُعْلِنُهُ فِي الإِنْجِيلِ

Focus your mind on Jesus Christ, a descendant of David, who was raised from the dead. This is my good news,

٩ 9 الَّذِي لأَجْلِ التَّبْشِيرِ بِهِ أُقَاسِي حَتَّى الْقُيُودَ كَأَنِّي فَاعِلُ شَرٍّ. إِلَّا أَنَّ كَلِمَةَ اللهِ لَا تُكَبِّلُهَا الْقُيُودُ.

and I'm suffering imprisonment because of it as if I were a criminal—but the word of God is not imprisoned.

١٠ 10 لِهَذَا السَّبَبِ أَحْتَمِلُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ بِصَبْرٍ لأَجْلِ الَّذِينَ اخْتَارَهُمُ اللهُ، لِكَيْ يَحْصُلُوا، هُمْ أَيْضاً، عَلَى الْخَلاصِ الَّذِي فِي الْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ مَعَ الْمَجْدِ الأَبَدِيِّ. (aiōnios g166)

Despite all this I'm willing to keep on going for the sake of God's people so that they may gain the salvation of Christ Jesus that is eternal glory. (aiōnios g166)

١١ 11 وَمَا أَصْدَقَ الْقَوْلَ: «إِنْ كُنَّا قَدْ مُتْنَا مَعَهُ، فَسَوْفَ نَحْيَا أَيْضاً مَعَهُ؛

This is a trustworthy saying: “If we died with him, we will also live with him;

١٢ 12 إِنْ تَحَمَّلْنَا الآلامَ، فَسَوْفَ نَمْلِكُ أَيْضاً مَعَهُ؛ إِنْ أَنْكَرْنَاهُ، فَسَوْفَ يُنْكِرُنَا أَيْضاً؛

if we keep going, we will also reign with him; if we deny him, he will also deny us.

١٣ 13 إِنْ تَخَلَّيْنَا عَنْ أَمَانَتِنَا، فَهُوَ يَبْقَى عَلَى أَمَانَتِهِ، إِذْ لَا يُمْكِنُ أَنْ يَتَنَكَّرَ لِذَاتِهِ!»

If we are not trustworthy, he is still trustworthy, for he cannot be untrue to himself.”

١٤ 14 بِهذِهِ الأُمُورِ ذَكِّرْ، شَاهِداً فِي حَضْرَةِ اللهِ أَنْ لَا تَنْشَأَ الْمُجَادَلاتُ الْكَلامِيَّةُ، وَهِيَ لَا تَنْفَعُ شَيْئاً، غَيْرَ تَخْرِيبِ سَامِعِيهَا.

This is what you should remind people about, telling them before God that they shouldn't have meaningless arguments over words. To do this only harms those who listen.

١٥ 15 اجْتَهِدْ أَنْ تُقَدِّمَ نَفْسَكَ لِلهِ فَائِزاً فِي الامْتِحَانِ، عَامِلاً لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ مَا يَدْعُو لِلْخَجَلِ، مُفَصِّلاً كَلِمَةَ الْحَقِّ بِاسْتِقَامَةٍ.

Make sure you work hard so you can present yourself to God and gain his approval. Be a worker that doesn't need to be embarrassed, using the word of truth correctly.

١٦ 16 أَمَّا الأَحَادِيثُ الْبَاطِلَةُ الدَّنِسَةُ، فَتَجَنَّبْهَا؛ فَإِنَّ الْمُنْصَرِفِينَ إِلَيْهَا يَتَقَدَّمُونَ إِلَى فُجُورٍ أَفْظَعَ،

Avoid pointless chatter because people who do this are heading away from God.

١٧ 17 وَكَلامُهُمْ يَنْهَشُ كَالآكِلَةِ، وَمِنْهُمْ هِيمِنَايُوسُ وَفِيلِيتُوسُ،

Their teachings are as destructive as gangrene that destroys healthy flesh. Hymenaeus and Philetus are like this.

١٨ 18 اللَّذَانِ زَاغَا عَنِ الْحَقِّ؛ إِذْ يَزْعُمَانِ أَنَّ الْقِيَامَةَ قَدْ حَدَثَتْ، وَيَهْدِمَانِ إِيمَانَ بَعْضِ النَّاسِ.

They have deviated from the truth by saying that the resurrection has already happened, which has ruined some people's trust in God.

١٩ 19 إِلَّا أَنَّ الأَسَاسَ الرَّاسِخَ الَّذِي وَضَعَهُ اللهُ يَظَلُّ ثَابِتاً، وَعَلَيْهِ هَذَا الْخَتْمُ: «الرَّبُّ يَعْرِفُ خَاصَّتَهُ»، وَأَيْضاً: «لِيَنْفَصِلْ عَنِ الإِثْمِ كُلُّ مَنْ يُسَمِّي اسْمَ الرَّبِّ!»

But God's solid, trustworthy foundation stone stands firm, with this inscription, “The Lord knows those who belong to him,” and “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord should stay away from all that is evil.”

٢٠ 20 وَإِنَّمَا، فِي بَيْتٍ كَبِيرٍ، لَا تَكُونُ الأَوَانِي كُلُّهَا مِنَ الذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ وَحَسْبُ، بَلْ يَكُونُ بَعْضُهَا مِنَ الْخَشَبِ وَالْفَخَّارِ أَيْضاً. كَمَا يَكُونُ بَعْضُهَا لِلاسْتِعْمَالِ الرَّفِيعِ، وَبَعْضُهَا لِلاسْتِعْمَالِ الْوَضِيعِ.

A stately home doesn't just have cups and bowls made of gold and silver. It also has ones made from wood and clay. Some are made for special use; others for more commonplace functions.

٢١ 21 إِذَن، الَّذِي يَنْفَصِلُ عَنْ هَذِهِ الأَخِيرَةِ، مُطَهِّراً نَفْسَهُ، يَكُونُ إِنَاءً لِلاسْتِعْمَالِ الرَّفِيعِ، مُقَدَّساً، نَافِعاً لِرَّبِّ الْبَيْتِ، مُتَأَهِّباً لِكُلِّ عَمَلٍ صَالِحٍ.

So if you get rid of what is evil, you will become a cup or bowl that is holy and special, useful to the Lord, ready to do all that's good.

٢٢ 22 إِنَّمَا اهْرُبْ مِنَ الشَّهَوَاتِ الشَّبَابِيَّةِ، وَاسْعَ وَرَاءَ الْبِرِّ وَالإِيمَانِ وَالْمَحَبَّةِ وَالسَّلامِ، مُشَارِكاً الَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ الرَّبَّ مِنْ قَلْبٍ نَقِيٍّ.

Run away from anything that fires up the desires of youth. Run after what is right and trustworthy, run after love and peace along with those who are true and pure Christians.

٢٣ 23 أَمَّا الْمُجَادَلاتُ الْغَبِيَّةُ الْحَمْقَاءُ، فَتَجَنَّبْهَا، عَالِماً أَنَّهَا تُوَلِّدُ الْمُشَاجَرَاتِ.

Avoid foolish and childish debates, for you know they only lead to fights.

٢٤ 24 وَعَبْدُ الرَّبِّ يَجِبُ أَلَّا يَتَشَاجَرَ، بَلْ أَنْ يَكُونَ مُتَرَفِّقاً تُجَاهَ الْجَمِيعِ، قَادِراً عَلَى التَّعْلِيمِ، يَتَحَمَّلُ الْمَشَقَّاتِ بِصَبْرٍ،

For the Lord's minister must not fight, but be kind to everyone, able to teach, patient,

٢٥ 25 وَيُصَحِّحُ بِالْوَدَاعَةِ الْمُقَاوِمِينَ، عَسَى أَنْ يَمْنَحَهُمُ اللهُ التَّوْبَةَ، فَيَعْرِفُوا الْحَقَّ بِالتَّمَامِ،

gently correcting opponents. Perhaps God may help them to come to repent and to understand the truth.

٢٦ 26 فَيَعُودُوا إِلَى الصَّوَابِ نَاجِينَ مِنْ فَخِّ إِبْلِيسَ الَّذِي أَطْبَقَ عَلَيْهِمْ، لِيَعْمَلُوا إِرَادَتَهُ.

In this way they may come to their senses and escape the devil's trap. For he has captured them and made them do whatever he wants.
