2 Timothy 3
1 [You need to] realize that during the last days [MTY] [before Christ returns, evil people will make] it difficult [for believers to behave as they should].
| اما این را نیز باید بدانی که در روزهای آخر، زمانهای بسیار دشواری روی خواهد داد، |
2 This is because [such evil] people will be habitually loving themselves and loving money. They will habitually boast [about themselves], they will be proud, and will often say bad things [about others. They] will disobey [their] parents. They will not be thankful, nor will they respect [anything that is good].
| زیرا مردمان، خودمحور، پولدوست، خودستا، متکبّر، بدزبان، نامطیع نسبت به والدین، و ناسپاس بوده، هیچ چیز را مقدّس نخواهند شمرد. |
3 They will not [even] love their own family, nor agree with [anybody] (OR, [they never forgive anyone]). They will tell lies about people. They will not control what they say and do, nor allow anyone to control them. They will not love [anything that is] good.
| همچنین فاقد محبت، بی‌گذشت، تهمت‌زن، ناپرهیزگار، خشن و متنفر از نیکویی خواهند بود. |
4 They will (betray others/hand others over to their enemies) and act foolishly. They will be overly/very proud of themselves, and they will love to please themselves instead of loving God.
| در آن زمان، خیانت در دوستی امری عادی به نظر خواهد آمد. انسانها لذت را بیشتر از خدا دوست خواهند داشت؛ |
5 [And, although they will] pretend that they worship God, they will not let [God’s Spirit] work powerfully [in their lives]. Do not associate with such people (OR, Do not let such people join [your congregation]),
| به ظاهر افرادی دیندار خواهند بود، اما قدرت آن را انکار خواهند کرد. تو را با این قبیل افراد کاری نباشد. |
6 because some such [people, even now], subtly/deceivingly persuade foolish women to let them come into their houses, and then they deceive those women [so that they control what those women think. These women] have been burdened with sins {have sinned very much} and they have been led to do {they do} the many [evil] things that they strongly desire to do.
| این گونه افراد هستند که با هزاران نیرنگ به خانه‌های مردم راه پیدا می‌کنند و با زنان کم‌عقل که گذشتهٔ گناه‌آلودی داشته‌اند، طرح دوستی می‌ریزند و تعالیم غلط خود را به خورد ایشان می‌دهند. |
7 [Even though] they are always [wanting to] learn new things, they are never able to recognize what is true.
| چنین زنان همواره کسانی را که تعالیم جدیدی می‌آورند، پیروی می‌کنند، اما هرگز به شناخت حقیقت دست نمی‌یابند. |
8 Just like Jannes and Jambres [long ago] very much opposed Moses, so also some [people] now oppose the true [message. Those] people think only what is evil. God rejects them [because they do not] believe [what is true].
| همان‌گونه که ینیس و یمبریس با موسی مخالفت می‌کردند، این معلمین نیز با حقیقت و راستی مخالفت می‌کنند؛ ایشان افکاری آلوده و فاسد دارند و از ایمان برگشته‌اند. |
9 Nevertheless, they will not continue to succeed, because most [HYP] people will understand clearly that such people are foolish, just like people also realized [clearly that Jannes and Jambres were foolish].
| اما همیشه اینطور نخواهد ماند، و یک روز گمراهی و نادانی‌شان بر همه آشکار خواهد گردید، چنانکه نادانی ینیس و یمبریس آشکار شد. |
10 But as for yourself, you have fully known what I have taught. You have known [and imitated] the way in which I conducted my life, [and] what I have been trying to do. [You have] trusted [God as] I have. You have been patient as I have been. [You have] loved people [as] I have, and [you have] endured [as you suffered like] I have [suffered].
| اما تو، تیموتائوس، خود می‌دانی که من چه تعلیم می‌دهم، چگونه زندگی می‌کنم، و هدف من در زندگی چیست. تو از ایمان و صبر و محبت و بردباری من آگاهی؛ |
11 [You know how I endured many times when people] harmed me. [They] caused me to suffer at Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra [cities]. [But although they caused me to suffer], I endured it; and every time [they] did those things to me, the Lord rescued me.
| و شاهد زحمات و رنجهایی که در راه اعلام پیغام انجیل کشیدم هستی؛ و به یاد داری که در انطاکیه، قونیه و لستره با چه سختیها و رنجهایی مواجه شدم. اما خداوند مرا از همهٔ این خطرات نجات داد. |
12 (Indeed/You know that), for us [(inc)] who want to live (in a [godly manner/] a [manner that pleases God]), we will always be persecuted {there will always be people who will cause us to suffer} because we [have a close relationship with] Christ Jesus.
| در واقع، همهٔ آنانی که می‌خواهند مطابق ارادهٔ خدا زندگی کنند، از دشمنان مسیح عیسی رنج و آزار خواهند دید. |
13 Evil people (OR, And those) who deceive other people will (get worse/teach things that are more and more wrong). [Specifically, they will] deceive other people, and [those who hear them will] deceive others.
| اما افراد نادرست و علمای دروغین، روز‌به‌روز بدتر شده، بسیاری را فریب خواهند داد و خود نیز فریب شیطان را خواهند خورد. |
14 But you, in contrast, must continue [to believe] what you have learned and (been assured of/firmly believe). [I know that you are confident/sure that it is true because] you know that you have learned it from all [of us who taught you] ([God’s truth/what is right]).
| اما تو باید به آنچه آموختی، ایمان راسخ داشته باشی. تو به صحت و درستی آنها اطمینان داری زیرا می‌دانی که آنها را از افراد قابل اعتمادی آموخته‌ای؛ |
15 From [the time when you were] a child you have known the holy writings/Scriptures. [You now know that] they enabled you to become wise so that God saved you because of your believing in Christ Jesus.
| خودت نیز از کودکی کتب مقدّس را فرا گرفته‌ای. این کتابها به تو حکمت بخشیده‌اند تا بدانی که دست یافتن به نجات، از راه ایمان به عیسی مسیح امکان‌پذیر است. |
16 God (inspired/put into men’s minds) everything [that is written] in the Scriptures {they [wrote] in the holy writings}, and those writings are all useful to teach [us what is true], to cause us to know [when we are] wrong and then (to correct us/to show us what we have done that is wrong), and to train/teach us to do what is right.
| در واقع، تمام کتب مقدّس الهام خداست و سودمند است تا حقیقت را به ما تعلیم دهد، و آنچه را که در زندگی ما نادرست است، به ما تذکر دهد. همچنین وقتی راه را به اشتباه می‌پیماییم، ما را اصلاح می‌کند و آنچه را که درست است، به ما تعلیم می‌دهد. |
17 What [is written] {they wrote} is useful to help us who [serve] God to be ready/prepared to do all that we should do. By means of it, we are equipped {God gives us what we need} in order to do every [kind of] good deeds.
| خدا به‌وسیلۀ کلامش ما را از هر جهت آماده و مجهز می‌سازد تا به همه نیکی نماییم. |
