< ୨ ତୀମଥି 3 >

1 କିନ୍ତୁ ଏହା ଜାଣିଥାଅ ଯେ, ଶେଷକାଳରେ ଭୀଷଣ ସମୟ ଉପସ୍ଥିତ ହେବ;
[You need to] realize that during the last days [MTY] [before Christ returns, evil people will make] it difficult [for believers to behave as they should].
2 କାରଣ ଲୋକମାନେ ଆତ୍ମପ୍ରିୟ, ଧନଲୋଭୀ, ଆତ୍ମଗର୍ବୀ, ଅହଙ୍କାରୀ, ନିନ୍ଦକ, ପିତାମାତାଙ୍କର ଅବାଧ୍ୟ,
This is because [such evil] people will be habitually loving themselves and loving money. They will habitually boast [about themselves], they will be proud, and will often say bad things [about others. They] will disobey [their] parents. They will not be thankful, nor will they respect [anything that is good].
3 ଅକୃତଜ୍ଞ, ଅପବିତ୍ର, ସ୍ନେହଶୂନ୍ୟ, ଅମିଳନପ୍ରିୟ, ଅପବାଦକ, ଅଜିତେନ୍ଦ୍ରିୟ, ପ୍ରଚଣ୍ଡ, ଉତ୍ତମ ବିଷୟର ଘୃଣାକାରୀ,
They will not [even] love their own family, nor agree with [anybody] (OR, [they never forgive anyone]). They will tell lies about people. They will not control what they say and do, nor allow anyone to control them. They will not love [anything that is] good.
4 ବିଶ୍ୱାସଘାତକ, ଦୁଃସାହସୀ, ଦାମ୍ଭିକ ହେବେ ଓ ଈଶ୍ବରପ୍ରିୟ ନ ହୋଇ ବରଂ ବିଳାସ-ପ୍ରିୟ ହେବେ;
They will (betray others/hand others over to their enemies) and act foolishly. They will be overly/very proud of themselves, and they will love to please themselves instead of loving God.
5 ସେମାନେ ଭକ୍ତିର ବେଶ ଧରନ୍ତି, କିନ୍ତୁ ସେଥିର ଶକ୍ତିକୁ ଅସ୍ୱୀକାର କରନ୍ତି; ଏପରି ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କଠାରୁ ଅନ୍ତର ହୁଅ।
[And, although they will] pretend that they worship God, they will not let [God’s Spirit] work powerfully [in their lives]. Do not associate with such people (OR, Do not let such people join [your congregation]),
6 କାରଣ ଏମାନଙ୍କ ମଧ୍ୟରେ ଏପରି ଲୋକ ଅଛନ୍ତି, ଯେଉଁମାନେ ଘରେ ଘରେ ପଶି ପାପରେ ଭାରାକ୍ରାନ୍ତ ଓ ବିଭିନ୍ନ କୁଅଭିଳାଷରେ ଚାଳିତ ନିର୍ବୋଧ ସ୍ତ୍ରୀମାନଙ୍କୁ ଆପଣାର ବଶବର୍ତ୍ତୀ କରନ୍ତି;
because some such [people, even now], subtly/deceivingly persuade foolish women to let them come into their houses, and then they deceive those women [so that they control what those women think. These women] have been burdened with sins {have sinned very much} and they have been led to do {they do} the many [evil] things that they strongly desire to do.
7 ଏହି ସ୍ତ୍ରୀଲୋକମାନେ ସର୍ବଦା ଶିକ୍ଷା କରୁଥିଲେ ମଧ୍ୟ ସତ୍ୟ ଜାଣିବା ପାଇଁ କଦାପି ସମର୍ଥ ହୁଅନ୍ତି ନାହିଁ।
[Even though] they are always [wanting to] learn new things, they are never able to recognize what is true.
8 ଆଉ ଯେପରି ଯନ୍ନିସ୍ ଓ ଯମ୍ବ୍ରୀସ୍ ମୋଶାଙ୍କର ପ୍ରତିରୋଧ କରିଥିଲେ, ସେହିପରି ଏହି ପୁରୁଷମାନେ ମଧ୍ୟ ସତ୍ୟର ପ୍ରତିରୋଧ କରନ୍ତି, ଏମାନେ ମନରେ ଭ୍ରଷ୍ଟ ହୋଇ ବିଶ୍ୱାସ ସମ୍ବନ୍ଧରେ ପ୍ରମାଣସିଦ୍ଧ ନୁହଁନ୍ତି।
Just like Jannes and Jambres [long ago] very much opposed Moses, so also some [people] now oppose the true [message. Those] people think only what is evil. God rejects them [because they do not] believe [what is true].
9 କିନ୍ତୁ ସେମାନେ ଆଉ ଅଧିକ ଆଗକୁ ଯିବେ ନାହିଁ; କାରଣ ସେହି ଦୁଇ ଜଣଙ୍କର ମୂର୍ଖତା ଯେପରି ପ୍ରକାଶ ପାଇଥିଲା, ସେହିପରି ଏମାନଙ୍କର ମଧ୍ୟ ସମସ୍ତଙ୍କ ନିକଟରେ ଜଣାପଡ଼ିବ।
Nevertheless, they will not continue to succeed, because most [HYP] people will understand clearly that such people are foolish, just like people also realized [clearly that Jannes and Jambres were foolish].
10 କିନ୍ତୁ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ମୋହର ଶିକ୍ଷା, ଆଚାର-ବ୍ୟବହାର, ସଙ୍କଳ୍ପ, ବିଶ୍ୱାସ, ସହିଷ୍ଣୁତା, ପ୍ରେମ, ଧୈର୍ଯ୍ୟ, ତାଡ଼ନା ଓ ଦୁଃଖଭୋଗର ଅନୁଗାମୀ ହୋଇଅଛ।
But as for yourself, you have fully known what I have taught. You have known [and imitated] the way in which I conducted my life, [and] what I have been trying to do. [You have] trusted [God as] I have. You have been patient as I have been. [You have] loved people [as] I have, and [you have] endured [as you suffered like] I have [suffered].
11 ଆନ୍ତିୟଖିଆ, ଇକନୀୟ ଓ ଲୁସ୍ତ୍ରା ସହରମାନଙ୍କରେ ମୋʼ ପ୍ରତି ସେହିପରି ତାଡ଼ନା ଘଟିଥିଲା; ମୁଁ ତାହା ସହ୍ୟ କରିଥିଲି, ଆଉ ପ୍ରଭୁ ମୋତେ ସେସବୁରୁ ଉଦ୍ଧାର କରିଥିଲେ।
[You know how I endured many times when people] harmed me. [They] caused me to suffer at Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra [cities]. [But although they caused me to suffer], I endured it; and every time [they] did those things to me, the Lord rescued me.
12 ପ୍ରକୃତରେ ଯେଉଁମାନେ ଖ୍ରୀଷ୍ଟ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ସହଭାଗିତାରେ ଧାର୍ମିକ ଜୀବନଯାପନ କରିବାକୁ ଇଚ୍ଛା କରନ୍ତି, ସେମାନେ ତାଡ଼ନା ଭୋଗ କରିବେ।
(Indeed/You know that), for us [(inc)] who want to live (in a [godly manner/] a [manner that pleases God]), we will always be persecuted {there will always be people who will cause us to suffer} because we [have a close relationship with] Christ Jesus.
13 କିନ୍ତୁ ଦୁଷ୍ଟ ଲୋକେ ଓ ଠକ ଲୋକମାନେ ଭ୍ରାନ୍ତି ଜନ୍ମାଇ ଓ ଭ୍ରାନ୍ତ ହୋଇ ଅଧିକରୁ ଅଧିକ ଦୁଷ୍ଟ ହୋଇ ଉଠିବେ।
Evil people (OR, And those) who deceive other people will (get worse/teach things that are more and more wrong). [Specifically, they will] deceive other people, and [those who hear them will] deceive others.
14 କିନ୍ତୁ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଯାହା ଯାହା ଶିକ୍ଷା କରିଅଛ ଆଉ ଯେ ସମସ୍ତ ବିଷୟରେ ନିଶ୍ଚିତ ବିଶ୍ୱାସ କରିଅଛ, ସେସବୁରେ ସ୍ଥିର ହୋଇ ରହିଥାଅ, କାରଣ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଜାଣୁଅଛ, କେଉଁମାନଙ୍କଠାରୁ ସେହିସବୁ ଶିକ୍ଷା କରିଅଛ;
But you, in contrast, must continue [to believe] what you have learned and (been assured of/firmly believe). [I know that you are confident/sure that it is true because] you know that you have learned it from all [of us who taught you] ([God’s truth/what is right]).
15 ପୁଣି, ଯେଉଁ ଧର୍ମଶାସ୍ତ୍ର ଖ୍ରୀଷ୍ଟ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କଠାରେ ବିଶ୍ୱାସ ଦ୍ୱାରା ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ପରିତ୍ରାଣଜନକ ଜ୍ଞାନ ଦେବାକୁ ସମର୍ଥ, ତାହା ତୁମ୍ଭେ ବାଲ୍ୟ କାଳଠାରୁ ଜାଣିଅଛ।
From [the time when you were] a child you have known the holy writings/Scriptures. [You now know that] they enabled you to become wise so that God saved you because of your believing in Christ Jesus.
16 ସମସ୍ତ ଶାସ୍ତ୍ର ଈଶ୍ବର ନିଶ୍ଵସିତ ଲିଖିତ ଏବଂ ଶିକ୍ଷା, ଅନୁଯୋଗ, ସଂଶୋଧନ ଓ ଧାର୍ମିକତା ସମ୍ବନ୍ଧୀୟ ଶାସନ ନିମନ୍ତେ ଉପକାରୀ,
God (inspired/put into men’s minds) everything [that is written] in the Scriptures {they [wrote] in the holy writings}, and those writings are all useful to teach [us what is true], to cause us to know [when we are] wrong and then (to correct us/to show us what we have done that is wrong), and to train/teach us to do what is right.
17 ଯେପରି ଈଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ଲୋକ ସିଦ୍ଧ ହୋଇ ସମସ୍ତ ଉତ୍ତମ କାର୍ଯ୍ୟ ନିମନ୍ତେ ସୁସଜ୍ଜିତ ହୁଏ।
What [is written] {they wrote} is useful to help us who [serve] God to be ready/prepared to do all that we should do. By means of it, we are equipped {God gives us what we need} in order to do every [kind of] good deeds.
