Timotheum Ii 1
1 Paulus Apostolus Jesu Christi per voluntatem Dei, secundum promissionem vitæ, quæ est in Christo Jesu,
Paul, an apostle of Messiah Jesus through the will of God, according to the promise of the life which is in Messiah Jesus,
2 Timotheo carissimo filio: gratia, misericordia, pax a Deo Patre, et Christo Jesu Domino nostro.
to Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Messiah Jesus our Lord.
3 Gratias ago Deo, cui servio a progenitoribus in conscientia pura, quod sine intermissione habeam tui memoriam in orationibus meis, nocte ac die
I thank God, whom I serve as my forefathers did, with a pure conscience. How unceasing is my memory of you in my petitions, night and day
4 desiderans te videre, memor lacrimarum tuarum, ut gaudio implear,
longing to see you, remembering your tears, that I may be filled with joy;
5 recordationem accipiens ejus fidei, quæ est in te non ficta, quæ et habitavit primum in avia tua Loide, et matre tua Eunice, certus sum autem quod et in te.
having been reminded of the unfeigned faith that is in you; which lived first in your grandmother Lois, and your mother Eunice, and, I am persuaded, in you also.
6 Propter quam causam admoneo te ut resuscites gratiam Dei, quæ est in te per impositionem manuum mearum.
For this cause, I remind you that you should stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.
7 Non enim dedit nobis Deus spiritum timoris: sed virtutis, et dilectionis, et sobrietatis.
For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power and love and of a sound mind.
8 Noli itaque erubescere testimonium Domini nostri, neque me vinctum ejus: sed collabora Evangelio secundum virtutem Dei:
Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner; but endure hardship for the gospel according to the power of God,
9 qui nos liberavit, et vocavit vocatione sua sancta, non secundum opera nostra, sed secundum propositum suum, et gratiam, quæ data est nobis in Christo Jesu ante tempora sæcularia. (aiōnios g166)
who saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Messiah Jesus before time began, (aiōnios g166)
10 Manifestata est autem nunc per illuminationem Salvatoris nostri Jesu Christi, qui destruxit quidem mortem, illuminavit autem vitam, et incorruptionem per Evangelium:
but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior, Messiah Jesus, who abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.
11 in quo positus sum ego prædicator, et Apostolus, et magister gentium.
For this, I was appointed a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher.
12 Ob quam causam etiam hæc patior, sed non confundor. Scio enim cui credidi, et certus sum quia potens est depositum meum servare in illum diem.
For this cause I also suffer these things. Yet I am not ashamed, for I know him whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to guard that which I have committed to him against that day.
13 Formam habe sanorum verborum, quæ a me audisti in fide, et in dilectione in Christo Jesu.
Hold the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which is in Messiah Jesus.
14 Bonum depositum custodi per Spiritum Sanctum, qui habitat in nobis.
That good thing which was committed to you, guard through the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.
15 Scis hoc, quod aversi sunt a me omnes, qui in Asia sunt, ex quibus est Phigellus, et Hermogenes.
This you know, that all who are in Asia turned away from me; of whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.
16 Det misericordiam Dominus Onesiphori domui: quia sæpe me refrigeravit, et catenam meam non erubuit:
May the Lord grant mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain,
17 sed cum Romam venisset, sollicite me quæsivit, et invenit.
but when he was in Rome, he sought me diligently, and found me
18 Det illi Dominus invenire misericordiam a Domino in illa die. Et quanta Ephesi ministravit mihi, tu melius nosti.
(the Lord grant to him to find the Lord's mercy in that day); and in how many things he served at Ephesus, you know very well.
