< 2 Timothy 4 >
1 I command you therefore before God and Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom:
īśvarasya gocare yaśca yīśuḥ khrīṣṭaḥ svīyāgamanakāle svarājatvena jīvatāṁ mṛtānāñca lokānāṁ vicāraṁ kariṣyati tasya gocare 'haṁ tvām idaṁ dṛḍham ājñāpayāmi|
2 preach the word; be urgent in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with all patience and teaching.
tvaṁ vākyaṁ ghoṣaya kāle'kāle cotsuko bhava pūrṇayā sahiṣṇutayā śikṣayā ca lokān prabodhaya bhartsaya vinayasva ca|
3 For the time will come when they will not listen to the sound doctrine, but, having itching ears, will heap up for themselves teachers after their own lusts;
yata etādṛśaḥ samaya āyāti yasmin lokā yathārtham upadeśam asahyamānāḥ karṇakaṇḍūyanaviśiṣṭā bhūtvā nijābhilāṣāt śikṣakān saṁgrahīṣyanti
4 and will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn aside to myths.
satyamatācca śrotrāṇi nivarttya vipathagāmino bhūtvopākhyāneṣu pravarttiṣyante;
5 But you be sober in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.
kintu tvaṁ sarvvaviṣaye prabuddho bhava duḥkhabhogaṁ svīkuru susaṁvādapracārakasya karmma sādhaya nijaparicaryyāṁ pūrṇatvena kuru ca|
6 For I am already being offered, and the time of my departure has come.
mama prāṇānām utsargo bhavati mama prasthānakālaścopātiṣṭhat|
7 I have fought the good fight. I have finished the course. I have kept the faith.
aham uttamayuddhaṁ kṛtavān gantavyamārgasyāntaṁ yāvad dhāvitavān viśvāsañca rakṣitavān|
8 From now on, there is stored up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give to me on that day; and not to me only, but also to all those who have loved his appearing.
śeṣaṁ puṇyamukuṭaṁ madarthaṁ rakṣitaṁ vidyate tacca tasmin mahādine yathārthavicārakeṇa prabhunā mahyaṁ dāyiṣyate kevalaṁ mahyam iti nahi kintu yāvanto lokāstasyāgamanam ākāṅkṣante tebhyaḥ sarvvebhyo 'pi dāyiṣyate|
9 Be diligent to come to me soon,
tvaṁ tvarayā matsamīpam āgantuṁ yatasva,
10 for Demas left me, having loved this present world, and went to Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, and Titus to Dalmatia. (aiōn )
yato dīmā aihikasaṁsāram īhamāno māṁ parityajya thiṣalanīkīṁ gatavān tathā krīṣki rgālātiyāṁ gatavān tītaśca dālmātiyāṁ gatavān| (aiōn )
11 Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with you, for he is useful to me for service.
kevalo lūko mayā sārddhaṁ vidyate| tvaṁ mārkaṁ saṅginaṁ kṛtvāgaccha yataḥ sa paricaryyayā mamopakārī bhaviṣyati,
12 But I sent Tychicus to Ephesus.
tukhikañcāham iphiṣanagaraṁ preṣitavān|
13 Bring the cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus when you come, and the books, especially the parchments.
yad ācchādanavastraṁ troyānagare kārpasya sannidhau mayā nikṣiptaṁ tvamāgamanasamaye tat pustakāni ca viśeṣataścarmmagranthān ānaya|
14 Alexander, the coppersmith, did much evil to me. The Lord will repay him according to his works,
kāṁsyakāraḥ sikandaro mama bahvaniṣṭaṁ kṛtavān prabhustasya karmmaṇāṁ samucitaphalaṁ dadātu|
15 of whom you also must beware; for he greatly opposed our words.
tvamapi tasmāt sāvadhānāstiṣṭha yataḥ so'smākaṁ vākyānām atīva vipakṣo jātaḥ|
16 At my first defense, no one came to help me, but all left me. May it not be held against them.
mama prathamapratyuttarasamaye ko'pi mama sahāyo nābhavat sarvve māṁ paryyatyajan tān prati tasya doṣasya gaṇanā na bhūyāt;
17 But the Lord stood by me, and strengthened me, that through me the message might be fully proclaimed, and that all the non-Jewish people might hear; and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.
kintu prabhu rmama sahāyo 'bhavat yathā ca mayā ghoṣaṇā sādhyeta bhinnajātīyāśca sarvve susaṁvādaṁ śṛṇuyustathā mahyaṁ śaktim adadāt tato 'haṁ siṁhasya mukhād uddhṛtaḥ|
18 And the Lord will deliver me from every evil deed, and will bring me safely into his heavenly kingdom. To him be the glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn )
aparaṁ sarvvasmād duṣkarmmataḥ prabhu rmām uddhariṣyati nijasvargīyarājyaṁ netuṁ māṁ tārayiṣyati ca| tasya dhanyavādaḥ sadākālaṁ bhūyāt| āmen| (aiōn )
19 Greet Prisca and Aquila, and the house of Onesiphorus.
tvaṁ priṣkām ākkilam anīṣipharasya parijanāṁśca namaskuru|
20 Erastus remained at Corinth, and I left Trophimus at Miletus, ill.
irāstaḥ karinthanagare 'tiṣṭhat traphimaśca pīḍitatvāt milītanagare mayā vyahīyata|
21 Be diligent to come before winter. Eubulus salutes you, as do Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brothers.
tvaṁ hemantakālāt pūrvvam āgantuṁ yatasva| ubūlaḥ pūdi rlīnaḥ klaudiyā sarvve bhrātaraśca tvāṁ namaskurvvate|
22 The Lord be with your spirit. Grace be with you.
prabhu ryīśuḥ khrīṣṭastavātmanā saha bhūyāt| yuṣmāsvanugraho bhūyāt| āmen|
