1 tīmathiyaḥ 4

1 pavitra ātmā spaṣṭam idaṁ vākyaṁ vadati caramakālē katipayalōkā vahnināṅkitatvāt

Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

2 kaṭhōramanasāṁ kāpaṭyād anr̥tavādināṁ vivāhaniṣēdhakānāṁ bhakṣyaviśēṣaniṣēdhakānāñca

Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

3 bhūtasvarūpāṇāṁ śikṣāyāṁ bhramakātmanāṁ vākyēṣu ca manāṁsi nivēśya dharmmād bhraṁśiṣyantē| tāni tu bhakṣyāṇi viśvāsināṁ svīkr̥tasatyadharmmāṇāñca dhanyavādasahitāya bhōgāyēśvarēṇa sasr̥jirē|

Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which YHWH hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.

4 yata īśvarēṇa yadyat sr̥ṣṭaṁ tat sarvvam uttamaṁ yadi ca dhanyavādēna bhujyatē tarhi tasya kimapi nāgrāhyaṁ bhavati,

For every creature of YHWH is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:

5 yata īśvarasya vākyēna prārthanayā ca tat pavitrībhavati|

For it is sanctified by the word of YHWH and prayer.

6 ētāni vākyāni yadi tvaṁ bhrātr̥n jñāpayēstarhi yīśukhrīṣṭasyōttamḥ paricārakō bhaviṣyasi yō viśvāsō hitōpadēśaśca tvayā gr̥hītastadīyavākyairāpyāyiṣyasē ca|

If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Yahushua the Messiah, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.

7 yānyupākhyānāni durbhāvāni vr̥ddhayōṣitāmēva yōgyāni ca tāni tvayā visr̥jyantām īśvarabhaktayē yatnaḥ kriyatāñca|

But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself rather unto righteousness.

8 yataḥ śārīrikō yatnaḥ svalpaphaladō bhavati kintvīśvarabhaktiraihikapāratrikajīvanayōḥ pratijñāyuktā satī sarvvatra phaladā bhavati|

For bodily exercise profiteth little: but reverence is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.

9 vākyamētad viśvasanīyaṁ sarvvai rgrahaṇīyañca vayañca tadarthamēva śrāmyāmō nindāṁ bhuṁjmahē ca|

This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation.

10 yatō hētōḥ sarvvamānavānāṁ viśēṣatō viśvāsināṁ trātā yō'mara īśvarastasmin vayaṁ viśvasāmaḥ|

For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living Elohim, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.

11 tvam ētāni vākyāni pracāraya samupadiśa ca|

These things command and teach.

12 alpavayaṣkatvāt kēnāpyavajñēyō na bhava kintvālāpēnācaraṇēna prēmnā sadātmatvēna viśvāsēna śucitvēna ca viśvāsinām ādarśō bhava|

Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.

13 yāvannāham āgamiṣyāmi tāvat tva pāṭhē cētayanē upadēśē ca manō nidhatsva|

Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.

14 prācīnagaṇahastārpaṇasahitēna bhaviṣyadvākyēna yaddānaṁ tubhyaṁ viśrāṇitaṁ tavāntaḥsthē tasmin dānē śithilamanā mā bhava|

Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.

15 ētēṣu manō nivēśaya, ētēṣu varttasva, itthañca sarvvaviṣayē tava guṇavr̥ddhiḥ prakāśatāṁ|

Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.

16 svasmin upadēśē ca sāvadhānō bhūtvāvatiṣṭhasva tat kr̥tvā tvayātmaparitrāṇaṁ śrōtr̥ṇāñca paritrāṇaṁ sādhayiṣyatē|

Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.
