2 tīmathiyaḥ 2
1 he mama putra, khrīṣṭayīśuto yo'nugrahastasya balena tvaṁ balavān bhava|
Thou therefore, my child, be strong in the grace which [is] in Christ Jesus.
2 aparaṁ bahubhiḥ sākṣibhiḥ pramāṇīkṛtāṁ yāṁ śikṣāṁ śrutavānasi tāṁ viśvāsyeṣu parasmai śikṣādāne nipuṇeṣu ca lokeṣu samarpaya|
And the things thou hast heard of me in the presence of many witnesses, these entrust to faithful men, such as shall be competent to instruct others also.
3 tvaṁ yīśukhrīṣṭasyottamo yoddheva kleśaṁ sahasva|
Take thy share in suffering as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
4 yo yuddhaṁ karoti sa sāṁsārike vyāpāre magno na bhavati kintu svaniyojayitre rocituṁ ceṣṭate|
No one going as a soldier entangles himself with the affairs of life, that he may please him who has enlisted him as a soldier.
5 aparaṁ yo mallai ryudhyati sa yadi niyamānusāreṇa na yuddhyati tarhi kirīṭaṁ na lapsyate|
And if also any one contend [in the games], he is not crowned unless he contend lawfully.
6 aparaṁ yaḥ kṛṣīvalaḥ karmma karoti tena prathamena phalabhāginā bhavitavyaṁ|
The husbandman must labour before partaking of the fruits.
7 mayā yaducyate tat tvayā budhyatāṁ yataḥ prabhustubhyaṁ sarvvatra buddhiṁ dāsyati|
Think of what I say, for the Lord will give thee understanding in all things.
8 mama susaṁvādasya vacanānusārād dāyūdvaṁśīyaṁ mṛtagaṇamadhyād utthāpitañca yīśuṁ khrīṣṭaṁ smara|
Remember Jesus Christ raised from among [the] dead, of [the] seed of David, according to my glad tidings,
9 tatsusaṁvādakāraṇād ahaṁ duṣkarmmeva bandhanadaśāparyyantaṁ kleśaṁ bhuñje kintvīśvarasya vākyam abaddhaṁ tiṣṭhati|
in which I suffer even unto bonds as an evil-doer: but the word of God is not bound.
10 khrīṣṭena yīśunā yad anantagauravasahitaṁ paritrāṇaṁ jāyate tadabhirucitai rlokairapi yat labhyeta tadarthamahaṁ teṣāṁ nimittaṁ sarvvāṇyetāni sahe| (aiōnios g166)
For this cause I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation which [is] in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. (aiōnios g166)
11 aparam eṣā bhāratī satyā yadi vayaṁ tena sārddhaṁ mriyāmahe tarhi tena sārddhaṁ jīvivyāmaḥ, yadi ca kleśaṁ sahāmahe tarhi tena sārddhaṁ rājatvamapi kariṣyāmahe|
The word [is] faithful; for if we have died together with [him], we shall also live together;
12 yadi vayaṁ tam anaṅgīkurmmastarhi so 'smānapyanaṅgīkariṣyati|
if we endure, we shall also reign together; if we deny, he also will deny us;
13 yadi vayaṁ na viśvāsāmastarhi sa viśvāsyastiṣṭhati yataḥ svam apahnotuṁ na śaknoti|
if we are unfaithful, he abides faithful, for he cannot deny himself.
14 tvametāni smārayan te yathā niṣphalaṁ śrotṛṇāṁ bhraṁśajanakaṁ vāgyuddhaṁ na kuryyastathā prabhoḥ samakṣaṁ dṛḍhaṁ vinīyādiśa|
Of these things put in remembrance, testifying earnestly before the Lord not to have disputes of words, profitable for nothing, to the subversion of the hearers.
15 aparaṁ tvam īśvarasya sākṣāt svaṁ parīkṣitam anindanīyakarmmakāriṇañca satyamatasya vākyānāṁ sadvibhajane nipuṇañca darśayituṁ yatasva|
Strive diligently to present thyself approved to God, a workman that has not to be ashamed, cutting in a straight line the word of truth.
16 kintvapavitrā anarthakakathā dūrīkuru yatastadālambina uttarottaram adharmme varddhiṣyante,
But profane, vain babblings shun, for they will advance to greater impiety,
17 teṣāñca vākyaṁ galitakṣatavat kṣayavarddhako bhaviṣyati teṣāṁ madhye humināyaḥ philītaścetināmānau dvau janau satyamatād bhraṣṭau jātau,
and their word will spread as a gangrene; of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;
18 mṛtānāṁ punarutthiti rvyatīteti vadantau keṣāñcid viśvāsam utpāṭayataśca|
[men] who as to the truth have gone astray, saying that the resurrection has taken place already; and overthrow the faith of some.
19 tathāpīśvarasya bhittimūlam acalaṁ tiṣṭhati tasmiṁśceyaṁ lipi rmudrāṅkitā vidyate| yathā, jānāti parameśastu svakīyān sarvvamānavān| apagacched adharmmācca yaḥ kaścit khrīṣṭanāmakṛt||
Yet the firm foundation of God stands, having this seal, [The] Lord knows those that are his; and, Let every one who names the name of [the] Lord withdraw from iniquity.
20 kintu bṛhanniketane kevala suvarṇamayāni raupyamayāṇi ca bhājanāni vidyanta iti tarhi kāṣṭhamayāni mṛṇmayānyapi vidyante teṣāñca kiyanti sammānāya kiyantapamānāya ca bhavanti|
But in a great house there are not only gold and silver vessels, but also wooden and earthen; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.
21 ato yadi kaścid etādṛśebhyaḥ svaṁ pariṣkaroti tarhi sa pāvitaṁ prabhoḥ kāryyayogyaṁ sarvvasatkāryyāyopayuktaṁ sammānārthakañca bhājanaṁ bhaviṣyati|
If therefore one shall have purified himself from these, [in separating himself from them], he shall be a vessel to honour, sanctified, serviceable to the Master, prepared for every good work.
22 yauvanāvasthāyā abhilāṣāstvayā parityajyantāṁ dharmmo viśvāsaḥ prema ye ca śucimanobhiḥ prabhum uddiśya prārthanāṁ kurvvate taiḥ sārddham aikyabhāvaścaiteṣu tvayā yatno vidhīyatāṁ|
But youthful lusts flee, and pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace, with those that call upon the Lord out of a pure heart.
23 aparaṁ tvam anarthakān ajñānāṁśca praśnān vāgyuddhotpādakān jñātvā dūrīkuru|
But foolish and senseless questionings avoid, knowing that they beget contentions.
24 yataḥ prabho rdāsena yuddham akarttavyaṁ kintu sarvvān prati śāntena śikṣādānecchukena sahiṣṇunā ca bhavitavyaṁ, vipakṣāśca tena namratvena cetitavyāḥ|
And a bondman of [the] Lord ought not to contend, but be gentle towards all; apt to teach; forbearing;
25 tathā kṛte yadīśvaraḥ satyamatasya jñānārthaṁ tebhyo manaḥparivarttanarūpaṁ varaṁ dadyāt,
in meekness setting right those who oppose, if God perhaps may sometime give them repentance to acknowledgment of [the] truth,
26 tarhi te yena śayatānena nijābhilāṣasādhanāya dhṛtāstasya jālāt cetanāṁ prāpyoddhāraṁ labdhuṁ śakṣyanti|
and that they may awake up out of the snare of the devil, [who are] taken by him, for his will.
