2 Timothy 3

1 Be aware that there will be troubled times in the last days.

caramadine. su kle"sajanakaa. h samayaa upasthaasyantiiti jaaniihi|

2 People will love themselves and love money. They will be boastful, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, and without God in their lives.

yatastaatkaalikaa lokaa aatmapremi. no. arthapremi. na aatma"slaaghino. abhimaanino nindakaa. h pitroranaaj naagraahi. na. h k. rtaghnaa apavitraa. h

3 Heartless and unforgiving, they'll commit slander and have no self-control. Brutal people who hate what's good,

priitivarjitaa asandheyaa m. r.saapavaadino. ajitendriyaa. h praca. n.daa bhadradve. si. no

4 they will betray others and be totally thoughtless. They are absurdly full of themselves, living so much for pleasure that they don't care about loving God.

vi"svaasaghaatakaa du. hsaahasino darpadhmaataa ii"svaraapremi. na. h kintu sukhapremi. no

5 They may give an outward impression of being religious, but they don't actually believe it works. Stay away from these people!

bhaktave"saa. h kintvasviik. rtabhaktigu. naa bhavi. syanti; etaad. r"saanaa. m lokaanaa. m sa. mmarga. m parityaja|

6 They're the kind of people that slip into homes and take control of vulnerable women who are burdened down by the guilt of sin and distracted by all kinds of desires.

yato ye janaa. h pracchanna. m gehaan pravi"santi paapai rbhaaragrastaa naanaavidhaabhilaa. sai"scaalitaa yaa. h kaaminyo

7 These women are always trying to learn but they're never able to understand the truth!

nitya. m "sik. sante kintu satyamatasya tattvaj naana. m praaptu. m kadaacit na "saknuvanti taa daasiivad va"siikurvvate ca te taad. r"saa lokaa. h|

8 Just like Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, these teachers also oppose the truth. They are people with corrupted minds whose supposed trust in God is a lie.

yaanni ryaambri"sca yathaa muusama. m prati vipak. satvam akurutaa. m tathaiva bhra. s.tamanaso vi"svaasavi. saye. agraahyaa"scaite lokaa api satyamata. m prati vipak. sataa. m kurvvanti|

9 But they won't get far. Their stupidity will be obvious to everyone, just like that of Jannes and Jambres.

kintu te bahuduuram agrasaraa na bhavi. syanti yatastayo rmuu. dhataa yadvat tadvad ete. saamapi muu. dhataa sarvvad. r"syaa bhavi. syati|

10 But you know all about my teaching and behavior, and my aim in life. You know my trust in God and my love. You know what I've had to endure—

mamopade"sa. h "si. s.tataabhipraayo vi"svaaso rdharyya. m prema sahi. s.nutopadrava. h kle"saa

11 how I've been persecuted and what I've suffered. You know what happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, and at Lystra—the troubles I had and how the Lord rescued me from all of them.

aantiyakhiyaayaam ikaniye luustraayaa nca maa. m prati yadyad agha. tata yaa. m"scopadravaan aham asahe sarvvametat tvam avagato. asi kintu tatsarvvata. h prabhu rmaam uddh. rtavaan|

12 Of course it's true that everyone who wants to live a life devoted to God in Christ Jesus will experience persecution,

parantu yaavanto lokaa. h khrii. s.tena yii"sune"svarabhaktim aacaritum icchanti te. saa. m sarvve. saam upadravo bhavi. syati|

13 while wicked people and frauds will do well, going from bad to worse, deceiving others and deceiving themselves too.

apara. m paapi. s.thaa. h khalaa"sca lokaa bhraamyanto bhramayanta"scottarottara. m du. s.tatvena varddhi. syante|

14 But you must hold onto the things you've learned and are convinced are true. You know who taught you.

kintu tva. m yad yad a"sik. sathaa. h, yacca tvayi samarpitam abhuut tasmin avati. s.tha, yata. h kasmaat "sik. saa. m praapto. asi tad vetsi;

15 From your childhood you've known the holy Scriptures which can give you understanding for salvation by trusting in Christ Jesus.

yaani ca dharmma"saastraa. ni khrii. s.te yii"sau vi"svaasena paritraa. napraaptaye tvaa. m j naanina. m karttu. m "saknuvanti taani tva. m "sai"savakaalaad avagato. asi|

16 All Scripture inspired by God is useful for teaching, for confronting what is wrong, for setting us straight, and for telling us what is right.

tat sarvva. m "saastram ii"svarasyaatmanaa datta. m "sik. saayai do. sabodhaaya "sodhanaaya dharmmavinayaaya ca phalayuukta. m bhavati

17 This is how God provides a thorough preparation for those who work for him to accomplish all that's good.

tena ce"svarasya loko nipu. na. h sarvvasmai satkarmma. ne susajja"sca bhavati|
