2 Timoty 3

1 Fa aoka ho fantatrao izao: fa any am-parany any dia hisy andro mahory.

But know this: that in the last days, grievous times will come.

2 Fa ny olona ho tia tena, ho tia vola, ho mpandoka tena, mpiavonavona, miteny ratsy, tsy manoa ray sy reny, tsy misaotra, tsy manaja izay masìna,

For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

3 tsy manam-pitiavana, mpanontolo fo, mpanendrikendrika, tsy mahonom-po, lozabe, tsy tia ny tsara,

without natural affection, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, not lovers of good,

4 mpamadika, kirina, mpieboebo, tia ny fahafinaretana mihoatra noho ny fitiavany an’ Andriamanitra,

traitors, headstrong, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,

5 manana ny endriky ny toe-panahy araka an’ Andriamanitra, nefa nandà ny heriny; ireny koa dia halaviro.

holding a form of godliness but having denied its power. Turn away from these, also.

6 Fa isan’ ireny izay misokosoko miditra any an-tranon’ ny sasany ka mahalasa ho babo ny vehivavy adaladala, vesaran’ ny fahotana, entin’ ny filàna maro,

For some of these are people who creep into houses and take captive gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts,

7 mianatra mandrakariva, nefa tsy mahatratra ny fahalalana ny marina.

always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

8 Ary tahaka ny nanoheran’ i Jana sy Jambra an’ i Mosesy no anoheran’ ireo koa ny fahamarinana, dia olona maloto saina sady tsy manam-pinoana marina.

Even as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these also oppose the truth, men corrupted in mind, who concerning the faith are rejected.

9 Kanefa tsy handroso intsony izy; fa ny hadalany dia haseho amin’ ny olona rehetra, tahaka ny an’ ireo koa.

But they will proceed no further. For their folly will be evident to all men, as theirs also came to be.

10 Fa ianao kosa dia efa nanaraka tsara ny fampianarako, ny fitondran-tenako, ny fisainako, ny finoako, ny fandeferako, ny fitiavako, ny faharetako,

But you followed my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, love, steadfastness,

11 ny nanenjehana ahy, ny fahoriana izay nanjo ahy tany Antiokia, tany Ikonioma, tany Lystra, dia ny fanenjehana izay niaretako; ary ny Tompo nahafaka ahy tamin’ izany rehetra izany.

persecutions, and sufferings—those things that happened to me at Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. I endured those persecutions. The Lord delivered me out of them all.

12 Eny, izay rehetra te-ho velona amin’ ny toe-panahy araka an’ Andriamanitra, izay ao amin’ i Kristy Jesosy, dia henjehina.

Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Messiah Yeshua will suffer persecution.

13 Fa ny ratsy fanahy sy ny mpanoloky kosa dia handroso hiharatsiratsy kokoa sady mamitaka no fitahina.

But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.

14 Fa ianao kosa dia mahareta amin’ izay zavatra nianaranao sy nampinoana anao, satria fantatrao izay nampianatra anao izany;

But you remain in the things which you have learned and have been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them.

15 fa hatry ny fony vao zaza ianao dia efa nahalala ny Soratra Masìna, izay mampahahendry anao ho amin’ ny famonjena amin’ ny finoana izay ao amin’ i Kristy Jesosy.

From infancy, you have known the holy Scriptures which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Messiah Yeshua.

16 Izay soratra rehetra nomen’ ny tsindrimandrin’ Andriamanitra dia mahasoa koa ho fampianarana, ho fandresen-dahatra, ho fanitsiana izay diso, ho fitaizana amin’ ny fahamarinana,

Every Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness,

17 mba ho tanteraka ny olon’ Andriamanitra, ho vonona tsara ho amin’ ny asa tsara rehetra.

that each person who belongs to God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
