1 tīmathiyaḥ 4
1 pavitra ātmā spaṣṭam idaṁ vākyaṁ vadati caramakāle katipayalokā vahnināṅkitatvāt
Spiritus autem manifeste dicit, quia in novissimis temporibus discedent quidam a fide, attendentes spiritibus erroris, et doctrinis daemoniorum,
2 kaṭhoramanasāṁ kāpaṭyād anṛtavādināṁ vivāhaniṣedhakānāṁ bhakṣyaviśeṣaniṣedhakānāñca
in hypocrisi loquentium mendacium, et cauteriatam habentium suam conscientiam,
3 bhūtasvarūpāṇāṁ śikṣāyāṁ bhramakātmanāṁ vākyeṣu ca manāṁsi niveśya dharmmād bhraṁśiṣyante| tāni tu bhakṣyāṇi viśvāsināṁ svīkṛtasatyadharmmāṇāñca dhanyavādasahitāya bhogāyeśvareṇa sasṛjire|
prohibentium nubere, et abstinere a cibis, quod Deus creavit ad percipiendum cum gratiarum actione fidelibus, et iis, qui cognoverunt veritatem.
4 yata īśvareṇa yadyat sṛṣṭaṁ tat sarvvam uttamaṁ yadi ca dhanyavādena bhujyate tarhi tasya kimapi nāgrāhyaṁ bhavati,
Quia omnis creatura Dei bona est, et nihil reiiciendum quod cum gratiarum actione percipitur:
5 yata īśvarasya vākyena prārthanayā ca tat pavitrībhavati|
sanctificatur enim per verbum Dei, et orationem.
6 etāni vākyāni yadi tvaṁ bhrātṛn jñāpayestarhi yīśukhrīṣṭasyottamḥ paricārako bhaviṣyasi yo viśvāso hitopadeśaśca tvayā gṛhītastadīyavākyairāpyāyiṣyase ca|
Haec proponens fratribus, bonus eris minister Christi Iesu enutritus verbis fidei, et bonae doctrinae, quam assecutus es.
7 yānyupākhyānāni durbhāvāni vṛddhayoṣitāmeva yogyāni ca tāni tvayā visṛjyantām īśvarabhaktaye yatnaḥ kriyatāñca|
Ineptas autem, et aniles fabulas devita: exerce autem teipsum ad pietatem.
8 yataḥ śārīriko yatnaḥ svalpaphalado bhavati kintvīśvarabhaktiraihikapāratrikajīvanayoḥ pratijñāyuktā satī sarvvatra phaladā bhavati|
Nam corporalis exercitatio, ad modicum utilis est: pietas autem ad omnia utilis est, promissionem habens vitae, quae nunc est, et futurae.
9 vākyametad viśvasanīyaṁ sarvvai rgrahaṇīyañca vayañca tadarthameva śrāmyāmo nindāṁ bhuṁjmahe ca|
Fidelis sermo, et omni acceptione dignus.
10 yato hetoḥ sarvvamānavānāṁ viśeṣato viśvāsināṁ trātā yo'mara īśvarastasmin vayaṁ viśvasāmaḥ|
In hoc enim laboramus, et maledicimur, quia speramus in Deum vivum, qui est Salvator omnium hominum, maxime fidelium.
11 tvam etāni vākyāni pracāraya samupadiśa ca|
Praecipe haec, et doce.
12 alpavayaṣkatvāt kenāpyavajñeyo na bhava kintvālāpenācaraṇena premnā sadātmatvena viśvāsena śucitvena ca viśvāsinām ādarśo bhava|
Nemo adolescentiam tuam contemnat: sed exemplum esto fidelium in verbo, in conversatione, in charitate, in fide, in castitate.
13 yāvannāham āgamiṣyāmi tāvat tva pāṭhe cetayane upadeśe ca mano nidhatsva|
Dum venio, attende lectioni, exhortationi, et doctrinae.
14 prācīnagaṇahastārpaṇasahitena bhaviṣyadvākyena yaddānaṁ tubhyaṁ viśrāṇitaṁ tavāntaḥsthe tasmin dāne śithilamanā mā bhava|
Noli negligere gratiam, quae in te est, quae data est tibi per prophetiam, cum impositione manuum presbyterii.
15 eteṣu mano niveśaya, eteṣu varttasva, itthañca sarvvaviṣaye tava guṇavṛddhiḥ prakāśatāṁ|
Haec meditare, in his esto: ut profectus tuus manifestus sit omnibus.
16 svasmin upadeśe ca sāvadhāno bhūtvāvatiṣṭhasva tat kṛtvā tvayātmaparitrāṇaṁ śrotṛṇāñca paritrāṇaṁ sādhayiṣyate|
Attende tibi, et doctrinae: insta in illis. Hoc enim faciens, et teipsum salvum facies, et eos qui te audiunt.
