2 Timothy 2
1 You therefore, my child, be strengthened in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
hE mama putra, khrISTayIzutO yO'nugrahastasya balEna tvaM balavAn bhava|
2 The things which you have heard from me amongst many witnesses, commit the same things to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.

3 You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
tvaM yIzukhrISTasyOttamO yOddhEva klEzaM sahasva|
4 No soldier on duty entangles himself in the affairs of life, that he may please him who enrolled him as a soldier.
yO yuddhaM karOti sa sAMsArikE vyApArE magnO na bhavati kintu svaniyOjayitrE rOcituM cESTatE|
5 Also, if anyone competes in athletics, he isn’t crowned unless he has competed by the rules.
aparaM yO mallai ryudhyati sa yadi niyamAnusArENa na yuddhyati tarhi kirITaM na lapsyatE|
6 The farmer who labours must be the first to get a share of the crops.
aparaM yaH kRSIvalaH karmma karOti tEna prathamEna phalabhAginA bhavitavyaM|
7 Consider what I say, and may the Lord give you understanding in all things.
mayA yaducyatE tat tvayA budhyatAM yataH prabhustubhyaM sarvvatra buddhiM dAsyati|
8 Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, of the offspring of David, according to my Good News,
mama susaMvAdasya vacanAnusArAd dAyUdvaMzIyaM mRtagaNamadhyAd utthApitanjca yIzuM khrISTaM smara|
9 in which I suffer hardship to the point of chains as a criminal. But God’s word isn’t chained.
tatsusaMvAdakAraNAd ahaM duSkarmmEva bandhanadazAparyyantaM klEzaM bhunjjE kintvIzvarasya vAkyam abaddhaM tiSThati|
10 Therefore I endure all things for the chosen ones’ sake, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. (aiōnios g166)

11 This saying is trustworthy: “For if we died with him, we will also live with him.
aparam ESA bhAratI satyA yadi vayaM tEna sArddhaM mriyAmahE tarhi tEna sArddhaM jIvivyAmaH, yadi ca klEzaM sahAmahE tarhi tEna sArddhaM rAjatvamapi kariSyAmahE|
12 If we endure, we will also reign with him. If we deny him, he also will deny us.
yadi vayaM tam anaggIkurmmastarhi sO 'smAnapyanaggIkariSyati|
13 If we are faithless, he remains faithful; for he can’t deny himself.”
yadi vayaM na vizvAsAmastarhi sa vizvAsyastiSThati yataH svam apahnOtuM na zaknOti|
14 Remind them of these things, charging them in the sight of the Lord that they don’t argue about words to no profit, to the subverting of those who hear.
tvamEtAni smArayan tE yathA niSphalaM zrOtRNAM bhraMzajanakaM vAgyuddhaM na kuryyastathA prabhOH samakSaM dRPhaM vinIyAdiza|
15 Give diligence to present yourself approved by God, a workman who doesn’t need to be ashamed, properly handling the Word of Truth.
aparaM tvam Izvarasya sAkSAt svaM parIkSitam anindanIyakarmmakAriNanjca satyamatasya vAkyAnAM sadvibhajanE nipuNanjca darzayituM yatasva|
16 But shun empty chatter, for it will go further in ungodliness,
kintvapavitrA anarthakakathA dUrIkuru yatastadAlambina uttarOttaram adharmmE varddhiSyantE,
17 and those words will consume like gangrene, of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus:
tESAnjca vAkyaM galitakSatavat kSayavarddhakO bhaviSyati tESAM madhyE huminAyaH philItazcEtinAmAnau dvau janau satyamatAd bhraSTau jAtau,
18 men who have erred concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection is already past, and overthrowing the faith of some.
mRtAnAM punarutthiti rvyatItEti vadantau kESAnjcid vizvAsam utpATayatazca|
19 However, God’s firm foundation stands, having this seal: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Let every one who names the name of the Lord depart from unrighteousness.”

20 Now in a large house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of clay. Some are for honour and some for dishonour.
kintu bRhannikEtanE kEvala suvarNamayAni raupyamayANi ca bhAjanAni vidyanta iti tarhi kASThamayAni mRNmayAnyapi vidyantE tESAnjca kiyanti sammAnAya kiyantapamAnAya ca bhavanti|
21 If anyone therefore purges himself from these, he will be a vessel for honour, sanctified, and suitable for the master’s use, prepared for every good work.
atO yadi kazcid EtAdRzEbhyaH svaM pariSkarOti tarhi sa pAvitaM prabhOH kAryyayOgyaM sarvvasatkAryyAyOpayuktaM sammAnArthakanjca bhAjanaM bhaviSyati|
22 Flee from youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

23 But refuse foolish and ignorant questionings, knowing that they generate strife.
aparaM tvam anarthakAn ajnjAnAMzca praznAn vAgyuddhOtpAdakAn jnjAtvA dUrIkuru|
24 The Lord’s servant must not quarrel, but be gentle towards all, able to teach, patient,
yataH prabhO rdAsEna yuddham akarttavyaM kintu sarvvAn prati zAntEna zikSAdAnEcchukEna sahiSNunA ca bhavitavyaM, vipakSAzca tEna namratvEna cEtitavyAH|
25 in gentleness correcting those who oppose him. Perhaps God may give them repentance leading to a full knowledge of the truth,
tathA kRtE yadIzvaraH satyamatasya jnjAnArthaM tEbhyO manaHparivarttanarUpaM varaM dadyAt,
26 and they may recover themselves out of the devil’s snare, having been taken captive by him to do his will.
