< Timotheum Ii 1 >
1 Paulus Apostolus Iesu Christi per voluntatem Dei, secundum promissionem vitae, quae est in Christo Iesu:
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus,
2 Timotheo charissimo filio, gratia, misericordia et pax a Deo Patre nostro, et Christo Iesu Domino nostro.
To Timothy, my dearly beloved son: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 Gratias ago Deo meo, cui servio a progenitoribus meis in conscientia pura, quod sine intermissione habeam tui memoriam in orationibus meis, nocte ac die
I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with pure conscience, that without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day;
4 desiderans te videre, memor lacrymarum tuarum, ut gaudio implear,
Greatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy;
5 recordationem accipiens eius fidei, quae est in te non ficta, quae et habitavit primum in avia tua Loide, et matre tua Eunice, certus sum autem quod et in te.
When I call to remembrance the sincere faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that is in thee also.
6 Propter quam causam admoneo te ut resuscites gratiam Dei, quae est in te per impositionem manuum mearum.
For which cause I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the laying on of my hands.
7 Non enim dedit nobis Deus spiritum timoris: sed virtutis, et dilectionis, et sobrietatis.
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
8 Noli itaque erubescere testimonium Domini nostri, neque me vinctum eius: sed collabora Evangelio secundum virtutem Dei:
Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of 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, quae data est nobis in Christo Iesu ante tempora saecularia. (aiōnios )
Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before the world began, (aiōnios )
10 Manifestata est autem nunc per illuminationem Salvatoris nostri Iesu Christi, qui destruxit quidem mortem, illuminavit autem vitam, et incorruptionem per Evangelium:
But has now been revealed by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:
11 in quo positus sum ego praedicator, et Apostolus, et magister Gentium.
To which I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.
12 Ob quam causam etiam haec patior, sed non confundor. Scio enim cui credidi, et certus sum quia potens est depositum meum servare in illum diem.
For which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed to him until that day.
13 Formam habe sanorum verborum, quae a me audisti in fide, et in dilectione in Christo Iesu.
Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
14 Bonum depositum custodi per Spiritum sanctum, qui habitat in nobis.
That good thing which was committed to thee keep by the Holy Spirit who dwelleth in us.
15 Scis enim hoc, quod aversi sunt a me omnes, qui in Asia sunt, ex quibus est Philetus, et Hermogenes.
This thou knowest, that all they who are in Asia are turned away from me; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.
16 Det misericordiam Dominus Onesiphori domui: quia saepe me refrigeravit, et catenam meam non erubuit:
The Lord give mercy to the house of Onesiphorus; for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain:
17 sed cum Romam venisset, solicite me quaesivit, et invenit.
But, when he was in Rome, he sought me out very diligently, and found me.
18 Det illi Dominus invenire misericordiam a Deo in illa die. Et quanta Ephesi ministravit mihi, tu melius nosti.
The Lord grant to him that he may find mercy from the Lord in that day: and in how many things he ministered to me at Ephesus, thou knowest very well.
