2 Timothy 2
1 You therefore, my child, be strengthened in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
Koa ianao, anaka, dia aoka hihahery amin’ ny fahasoavana izay ao amin’ i Kristy Jesosy.
2 The things you heard from me among many witnesses, entrust them to faithful people who will be able to teach others also.
Ary izay zavatra efa renao tamiko teo anatrehan’ ny vavolombelona maro dia atolory ny olona mahatoky, izay hahay mampianatra ny sasany kosa.
3 Suffer hardship with me, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
Miaraha miaritra ny mafy amiko ianao tahaka ny miaramila tsaran’ i Kristy Jesosy.
4 No soldier serves while entangled in the affairs of this life, so that he may please his superior officer.
Ny miaramila manafika dia tsy mba misy maningo-tena amin’ ny raharahan’ izao fiainana izao, mba hahafaly izay efa nifidy azy ho miaramila.
5 Also, if someone competes as an athlete, he is not crowned unless he competes by the rules.
Ary raha misy manezaka amin’ ny filalaovana, dia tsy satrohana satro-boninahitra izy, raha tsy manezaka araka ny lalàna.
6 It is necessary that the hardworking farmer receive his share of the crops first.
Ny mpiasa tany izay misasatra no tokony ho voalohany handray ny vokatra.
7 Think about what I am saying, for the Lord will give you understanding in everything.
Diniho izay lazaiko, fa homen’ ny Tompo fahazavan-tsaina ny amin’ ny zavatra rehetra ianao.
8 Remember Jesus Christ, from David's seed, who was raised from the dead. This is according to my gospel message,
Tsarovy Jesosy Kristy Izay natsangana tamin’ ny maty, dia Ilay avy tamin’ ny taranak’ i Davida, araka ny filazantsarako,
9 for which I am suffering to the point of being bound with chains as a criminal. But the word of God is not bound.
izay iaretako fahoriana hatramin’ ny fatorana aza, hoatra ny mpanao ratsy; nefa ny tenin’ Andriamanitra dia tsy mba voafatotra.
10 Therefore I endure all things for those who are chosen, so that they also may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory. (aiōnios g166)
Izany no iaretako ny zavatra rehetra noho ny amin’ ny olom-boafidy, mba hahazoan’ ireny koa famonjena, dia izay ao amin’ i Kristy Jesosy, mbamin’ ny voninahitra mandrakizay. (aiōnios g166)
11 This is a trustworthy saying: “If we have died with him, we will also live with him.
Mahatoky izao teny izao: Fa raha miara-maty aminy isika, dia hiara-belona aminy koa;
12 If we endure, we will also reign with him. If we deny him, he also will deny us.
raha miaritra isika, dia hiara-manjaka aminy; raha mandà Azy isika, Izy kosa handà antsika;
13 if we are unfaithful, he remains faithful, for he cannot deny himself.”
fa na dia tsy matoky Azy aza isika, dia mbola mahatoky ihany Izy, fa tsy mahazo mandà ny tenany.
14 Keep reminding them of these things. Warn them before God against quarreling about words; it is of no value, and only ruins those who listen.
Izany zavatra izany no ampahatsiarovy ny olona, ka anaro mafy eo anatrehan’ ny Tompo izy mba tsy hiady teny, satria tsy mahasoa akory izany, fa mamadika ny mpihaino,
15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no reason to be ashamed, who accurately teaches the word of truth.
Mazotoa manolotra ny tenanao amin’ Andriamanitra ho olona voazaha toetra, dia mpiasa tsy mahazo henatra, mizara tsara ny teny fahamarinana.
16 Avoid profane talk, which leads to more and more godlessness.
Fa halaviro ny fibedibedena foana; fa mbola handroso amin’ ny haratsiam-panahy ihany izy ireny,
17 Their talk will spread like cancer. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus,
ary ny teniny dia handany tahaka ny aretina mihady; isan ireny Hymeneo sy Fileto,
18 who have gone astray from the truth. They say that the resurrection has already happened, and they destroy the faith of some.
izay nania tamin’ ny marina ka milaza fa efa lasa sahady ny fitsanganan’ ny maty, dia mamadika ny finoan’ ny sasany.
19 However, the firm foundation of God stands. It has this inscription: “The Lord knows those who are his” and “Everyone who names the name of the Lord must depart from unrighteousness.”
Kanefa ny fanorenana mafy nataon’ Andriamanitra dia miorina tsara sady manana izao tombo-kase izao: “Ny Tompo mahalala ny azy”, ary koa: “Aoka ny olona rehetra izay manonona ny anaran’ ny Tompo hiala amin’ ny ratsy.”
20 In a wealthy home, there are not only containers of gold and silver. There are also containers of wood and clay. Some of these are for honorable use, and some for dishonorable.
Fa ao an-trano lehibe, tsy dia fanaka volamena sy volafotsy ihany no ao, fa fanaka hazo sy tany koa, ny sasany homem-boninahitra, ary ny sasany halam-baraka.
21 If someone cleans himself from dishonorable use, he is an honorable container. He is set apart, useful to the Master, and prepared for every good work.
Koa raha misy olona manadio ny tenany ho afaka amin’ ireny, dia ho fanaka homem-boninahitra izy, efa nohamasinina ka mahasoa ho an’ ny Tompo, voavoatra ho amin’ ny asa tsara rehetra.
22 Flee youthful lusts. Pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace with those who call on the Lord out of a clean heart.
Fa mandosira ny filan’ ny tanora fanahy; ary miezaha mitady fahamarinana, finoana, fitiavana, fihavanana amin’ izay miantso ny Tompo amin’ ny fo madio.
23 But refuse foolish and ignorant questions. You know that they give birth to arguments.
Fa mandava ny fanontaniana adaladala tsy misy antony, satria fantatrao fa mahatonga ady izany.
24 The Lord's servant must not quarrel. Instead he must be gentle toward all, able to teach, and patient.
Ary tsy mety raha miady ny mpanompon’ ny Tompo, fa ho malemy fanahy amin’ ny olona rehetra, mahay mampianatra, mahalefitra,
25 He must in meekness educate those who oppose him. God may perhaps give them repentance for the knowledge of the truth.
mananatra ny mpanohitra amin’ ny fahamoram-panahy; fa angamba Andriamanitra hanome azy fibebahana hahalalany tsara ny marina,
26 They may become sober again and leave the devil's trap, after they have been captured by him for his will.
ka hody ny sainy ho afaka amin’ ny fandriky ny devoly, izay nanao azy sambo-belona hanao ny sitrapony.
