2 Timoty 2
1 Koa ianao, anaka, dia aoka hihahery amin’ ny fahasoavana izay ao amin’ i Kristy Jesosy.
You therefore, my child, be strengthened in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
2 Ary izay zavatra efa renao tamiko teo anatrehan’ ny vavolombelona maro dia atolory ny olona mahatoky, izay hahay mampianatra ny sasany kosa.
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 Miaraha miaritra ny mafy amiko ianao tahaka ny miaramila tsaran’ i Kristy Jesosy.
You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
4 Ny miaramila manafika dia tsy mba misy maningo-tena amin’ ny raharahan’ izao fiainana izao, mba hahafaly izay efa nifidy azy ho miaramila.
No soldier on duty entangles himself in the affairs of life, that he may please him who enrolled him as a soldier.
5 Ary raha misy manezaka amin’ ny filalaovana, dia tsy satrohana satro-boninahitra izy, raha tsy manezaka araka ny lalàna.
Also, if anyone competes in athletics, he isn’t crowned unless he has competed by the rules.
6 Ny mpiasa tany izay misasatra no tokony ho voalohany handray ny vokatra.
The farmer who labours must be the first to get a share of the crops.
7 Diniho izay lazaiko, fa homen’ ny Tompo fahazavan-tsaina ny amin’ ny zavatra rehetra ianao.
Consider what I say, and may the Lord give you understanding in all things.
8 Tsarovy Jesosy Kristy Izay natsangana tamin’ ny maty, dia Ilay avy tamin’ ny taranak’ i Davida, araka ny filazantsarako,
Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, of the offspring of David, according to my Good News,
9 izay iaretako fahoriana hatramin’ ny fatorana aza, hoatra ny mpanao ratsy; nefa ny tenin’ Andriamanitra dia tsy mba voafatotra.
in which I suffer hardship to the point of chains as a criminal. But God’s word isn’t chained.
10 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)
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 Mahatoky izao teny izao: Fa raha miara-maty aminy isika, dia hiara-belona aminy koa;
This saying is trustworthy: “For if we died with him, we will also live with him.
12 raha miaritra isika, dia hiara-manjaka aminy; raha mandà Azy isika, Izy kosa handà antsika;
If we endure, we will also reign with him. If we deny him, he also will deny us.
13 fa na dia tsy matoky Azy aza isika, dia mbola mahatoky ihany Izy, fa tsy mahazo mandà ny tenany.
If we are faithless, he remains faithful; for he can’t deny himself.”
14 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,
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.
15 Mazotoa manolotra ny tenanao amin’ Andriamanitra ho olona voazaha toetra, dia mpiasa tsy mahazo henatra, mizara tsara ny teny fahamarinana.
Give diligence to present yourself approved by God, a workman who doesn’t need to be ashamed, properly handling the Word of Truth.
16 Fa halaviro ny fibedibedena foana; fa mbola handroso amin’ ny haratsiam-panahy ihany izy ireny,
But shun empty chatter, for it will go further in ungodliness,
17 ary ny teniny dia handany tahaka ny aretina mihady; isan ireny Hymeneo sy Fileto,
and those words will consume like gangrene, of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus:
18 izay nania tamin’ ny marina ka milaza fa efa lasa sahady ny fitsanganan’ ny maty, dia mamadika ny finoan’ ny sasany.
men who have erred concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection is already past, and overthrowing the faith of some.
19 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.”
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 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.
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.
21 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.
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.
22 Fa mandosira ny filan’ ny tanora fanahy; ary miezaha mitady fahamarinana, finoana, fitiavana, fihavanana amin’ izay miantso ny Tompo amin’ ny fo madio.
Flee from youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
23 Fa mandava ny fanontaniana adaladala tsy misy antony, satria fantatrao fa mahatonga ady izany.
But refuse foolish and ignorant questionings, knowing that they generate strife.
24 Ary tsy mety raha miady ny mpanompon’ ny Tompo, fa ho malemy fanahy amin’ ny olona rehetra, mahay mampianatra, mahalefitra,
The Lord’s servant must not quarrel, but be gentle towards all, able to teach, patient,
25 mananatra ny mpanohitra amin’ ny fahamoram-panahy; fa angamba Andriamanitra hanome azy fibebahana hahalalany tsara ny marina,
in gentleness correcting those who oppose him. Perhaps God may give them repentance leading to a full knowledge of the truth,
26 ka hody ny sainy ho afaka amin’ ny fandriky ny devoly, izay nanao azy sambo-belona hanao ny sitrapony.
and they may recover themselves out of the devil’s snare, having been taken captive by him to do his will.
