1 Timothy 4
1 Now the Spirit speaketh euidently, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, and shall giue heede vnto spirits of errour, and doctrines of deuils,
pavitra ātmā spaṣṭam idaṁ vākyaṁ vadati caramakālē katipayalōkā vahnināṅkitatvāt
2 Which speake lies through hypocrisie, and haue their cosciences burned with an hote yron,
kaṭhōramanasāṁ kāpaṭyād anr̥tavādināṁ vivāhaniṣēdhakānāṁ bhakṣyaviśēṣaniṣēdhakānāñca
3 Forbidding to marrie, and commanding to abstaine from meates which God hath created to be receiued with giuing thankes of them which beleeue and knowe the trueth.
bhūtasvarūpāṇāṁ śikṣāyāṁ bhramakātmanāṁ vākyēṣu ca manāṁsi nivēśya dharmmād bhraṁśiṣyantē| tāni tu bhakṣyāṇi viśvāsināṁ svīkr̥tasatyadharmmāṇāñca dhanyavādasahitāya bhōgāyēśvarēṇa sasr̥jirē|
4 For euery creature of God is good, and nothing ought to be refused, if it be receiued with thankesgiuing.
yata īśvarēṇa yadyat sr̥ṣṭaṁ tat sarvvam uttamaṁ yadi ca dhanyavādēna bhujyatē tarhi tasya kimapi nāgrāhyaṁ bhavati,
5 For it is sanctified by the worde of God, and prayer.
yata īśvarasya vākyēna prārthanayā ca tat pavitrībhavati|
6 If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Iesus Christ, which hast bene nourished vp in the wordes of faith, and of good doctrine, which thou hast continually followed.
ētāni vākyāni yadi tvaṁ bhrātr̥n jñāpayēstarhi yīśukhrīṣṭasyōttamḥ paricārakō bhaviṣyasi yō viśvāsō hitōpadēśaśca tvayā gr̥hītastadīyavākyairāpyāyiṣyasē ca|
7 But cast away prophane, and olde wiues fables, and exercise thy selfe vnto godlinesse.
yānyupākhyānāni durbhāvāni vr̥ddhayōṣitāmēva yōgyāni ca tāni tvayā visr̥jyantām īśvarabhaktayē yatnaḥ kriyatāñca|
8 For bodily exercise profiteth litle: but godlinesse is profitable vnto all things, which hath the promise of the life present, and of that that is to come.
yataḥ śārīrikō yatnaḥ svalpaphaladō bhavati kintvīśvarabhaktiraihikapāratrikajīvanayōḥ pratijñāyuktā satī sarvvatra phaladā bhavati|
9 This is a true saying, and by all meanes worthie to be receiued.
vākyamētad viśvasanīyaṁ sarvvai rgrahaṇīyañca vayañca tadarthamēva śrāmyāmō nindāṁ bhuṁjmahē ca|
10 For therefore we labour and are rebuked, because we trust in the liuing God, which is the Sauiour of all men, specially of those that beleeue.
yatō hētōḥ sarvvamānavānāṁ viśēṣatō viśvāsināṁ trātā yō'mara īśvarastasmin vayaṁ viśvasāmaḥ|
11 These things warne and teache.
tvam ētāni vākyāni pracāraya samupadiśa ca|
12 Let no man despise thy youth, but be vnto them that beleeue, an ensample, in worde, in conuersation, in loue, in spirit, in faith, and in purenesse.
alpavayaṣkatvāt kēnāpyavajñēyō na bhava kintvālāpēnācaraṇēna prēmnā sadātmatvēna viśvāsēna śucitvēna ca viśvāsinām ādarśō bhava|
13 Till I come, giue attendance to reading, to exhortation, and to doctrine.
yāvannāham āgamiṣyāmi tāvat tva pāṭhē cētayanē upadēśē ca manō nidhatsva|
14 Despise not the gift that is in thee, which was giuen thee by prophecie with the laying on of the hands of the companie of the Eldership.
prācīnagaṇahastārpaṇasahitēna bhaviṣyadvākyēna yaddānaṁ tubhyaṁ viśrāṇitaṁ tavāntaḥsthē tasmin dānē śithilamanā mā bhava|
15 These things exercise, and giue thy selfe vnto them, that it may be seene howe thou profitest among all men.
ētēṣu manō nivēśaya, ētēṣu varttasva, itthañca sarvvaviṣayē tava guṇavr̥ddhiḥ prakāśatāṁ|
16 Take heede vnto thy selfe, and vnto learning: continue therein: for in doing this thou shalt both saue thy selfe, and them that heare thee.
svasmin upadēśē ca sāvadhānō bhūtvāvatiṣṭhasva tat kr̥tvā tvayātmaparitrāṇaṁ śrōtr̥ṇāñca paritrāṇaṁ sādhayiṣyatē|
