٢ تيموثاوس 4
| أَنَا أُنَاشِدُكَ إِذًا أَمَامَ ٱللهِ وَٱلرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، ٱلْعَتِيدِ أَنْ يَدِينَ ٱلْأَحْيَاءَ وَٱلْأَمْوَاتَ، عِنْدَ ظُهُورِهِ وَمَلَكُوتِهِ: | ١ 1 |
Christ Jesus [is going to come back and] judge those who are living [when he comes] and those who will have died. He will judge them [concerning what rewards they deserve, and] he will rule everyone. So, [knowing that] he and God are watching [everything that we do], I solemnly/earnestly command you
| ٱكْرِزْ بِٱلْكَلِمَةِ. ٱعْكُفْ عَلَى ذَلِكَ فِي وَقْتٍ مُنَاسِبٍ وَغَيْرِ مُنَاسِبٍ. وَبِّخِ، ٱنْتَهِرْ، عِظْ بِكُلِّ أَنَاةٍ وَتَعْلِيمٍ. | ٢ 2 |
that you proclaim the [true] message to people. Always be ready/prepared [to proclaim it], whether people want to hear it or not. [Some people are saying things that are not correct]; (refute their teaching/show why their teaching is wrong). Rebuke them when they are doing wrong. Tell them what they ought to do. Be very patient while you teach them.
| لِأَنَّهُ سَيَكُونُ وَقْتٌ لَا يَحْتَمِلُونَ فِيهِ ٱلتَّعْلِيمَ ٱلصَّحِيحَ، بَلْ حَسَبَ شَهَوَاتِهِمُ ٱلْخَاصَّةِ يَجْمَعُونَ لَهُمْ مُعَلِّمِينَ مُسْتَحِكَّةً مَسَامِعُهُمْ، | ٣ 3 |
[Do these things] because there will be a time when people will not listen to good teaching. Instead, they will bring in many teachers for themselves who will tell them just what they want to hear [IDM]. [The reason that they will bring in such teachers is] that they want to do the evil things that they desire.
| فَيَصْرِفُونَ مَسَامِعَهُمْ عَنِ ٱلْحَقِّ، وَيَنْحَرِفُونَ إِلَى ٱلْخُرَافَاتِ. | ٤ 4 |
That is, they will not listen to [MTY] what is true, but will listen instead to [strange] stories from our ancestors.
| وَأَمَّا أَنْتَ فَٱصْحُ فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ. ٱحْتَمِلِ ٱلْمَشَقَّاتِ. ٱعْمَلْ عَمَلَ ٱلْمُبَشِّرِ. تَمِّمْ خِدْمَتَكَ. | ٥ 5 |
[Furthermore, I command that] you always control what you think and do. [Be willing] to endure hardships/suffering. Your work should be telling people the message [about Christ Jesus]. As you serve [the Lord], do everything that [God has told] you to do.
| فَإِنِّي أَنَا ٱلْآنَ أُسْكَبُ سَكِيبًا، وَوَقْتُ ٱنْحِلَالِي قَدْ حَضَرَ. | ٦ 6 |
[Timothy, I say these things to] you because as for me, [it is as though] [MET] [they are now about to kill me. It is as though my blood will] be poured out {they will kill me} [as a sacrifice on the altar]; that is, [I know] that it is the time for me to die [EUP].
| قَدْ جَاهَدْتُ ٱلْجِهَادَ ٱلْحَسَنَ، أَكْمَلْتُ ٱلسَّعْيَ، حَفِظْتُ ٱلْإِيمَانَ، | ٧ 7 |
[And as to telling people the] good [message and defending it], I have (exerted myself thoroughly/done it with all my energy) [MET], [like a boxer does. As to doing] the work that God gave me to do, I have completed it, [like a runner who finishes] [MET] the race. [As to] what we believe, I (have been loyal to it/continue to believe it).
| وَأَخِيرًا قَدْ وُضِعَ لِي إِكْلِيلُ ٱلْبِرِّ، ٱلَّذِي يَهَبُهُ لِي فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ، ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلدَّيَّانُ ٱلْعَادِلُ، وَلَيْسَ لِي فَقَطْ، بَلْ لِجَمِيعِ ٱلَّذِينَ يُحِبُّونَ ظُهُورَهُ أَيْضًا. | ٨ 8 |
[So, like people award] a prize [MET] [to the winner of a race], the Lord, who judges rightly, will give me a reward [because I have lived] righteously. He will give me that reward when [MTY] [he judges people]. And not only [will he reward] me, but he will also reward all those who very much want him to come back.
| بَادِرْ أَنْ تَجِيءَ إِلَيَّ سَرِيعًا، | ٩ 9 |
(Do your best/Try hard) to come to me soon.
| لِأَنَّ دِيمَاسَ قَدْ تَرَكَنِي إِذْ أَحَبَّ ٱلْعَالَمَ ٱلْحَاضِرَ وَذَهَبَ إِلَى تَسَالُونِيكِي، وَكِرِيسْكِيسَ إِلَى غَلَاطِيَّةَ، وَتِيطُسَ إِلَى دَلْمَاطِيَّةَ. (aiōn g165) | ١٠ 10 |
[I say that] because Demas has left me. He wanted very much [the good things that he might enjoy] [MTY] in this world [right now], and so he went to Thessalonica [city]. Crescens [went to serve the Lord] in Galatia [province], and Titus went to Dalmatia [district]. (aiōn g165)
| لُوقَا وَحْدَهُ مَعِي. خُذْ مَرْقُسَ وَأَحْضِرْهُ مَعَكَ لِأَنَّهُ نَافِعٌ لِي لِلْخِدْمَةِ. | ١١ 11 |
Luke is the only one who is still with me [of those who were helping me. And when you come], bring Mark with you, because he is useful to help me in my work.
| أَمَّا تِيخِيكُسُ فَقَدْ أَرْسَلْتُهُ إِلَى أَفَسُسَ. | ١٢ 12 |
Tychicus [cannot help me because] I sent him to Ephesus [city].
| اَلرِّدَاءَ ٱلَّذِي تَرَكْتُهُ فِي تَرُواسَ عِنْدَ كَارْبُسَ، أَحْضِرْهُ مَتَى جِئْتَ، وَٱلْكُتُبَ أَيْضًا وَلَا سِيَّمَا ٱلرُّقُوقَ. | ١٣ 13 |
And when you come, bring the coat that I left with Carpus in Troas [city]. Also, bring the books, but (most of all/especially) [I want] (the parchments/the animal skins) [on which important things are written].
| إِسْكَنْدَرُ ٱلنَّحَّاسُ أَظْهَرَ لِي شُرُورًا كَثِيرَةً. لِيُجَازِهِ ٱلرَّبُّ حَسَبَ أَعْمَالِهِ. | ١٤ 14 |
Alexander, the man who makes things from metal, did many evil/harmful things to me. The Lord will punish him for what he did.
| فَٱحْتَفِظْ مِنْهُ أَنْتَ أَيْضًا، لِأَنَّهُ قَاوَمَ أَقْوَالَنَا جِدًّا. | ١٥ 15 |
So you, too, must beware of him. [He will try to destroy your work if he can], because he very much opposes the message that we [proclaim].
| فِي ٱحْتِجَاجِي ٱلْأَوَّلِ لَمْ يَحْضُرْ أَحَدٌ مَعِي، بَلِ ٱلْجَمِيعُ تَرَكُونِي. لَا يُحْسَبْ عَلَيْهِمْ. | ١٦ 16 |
When I first defended myself [in court here], no one came along [to help defend] me. Instead, they all left me. [I pray] that it will not be counted against {[God] will forgive} them [LIT] [for leaving me].
| وَلَكِنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ وَقَفَ مَعِي وَقَوَّانِي، لِكَيْ تُتَمَّ بِي ٱلْكِرَازَةُ، وَيَسْمَعَ جَمِيعُ ٱلْأُمَمِ، فَأُنْقِذْتُ مِنْ فَمِ ٱلْأَسَدِ. | ١٧ 17 |
Nevertheless, the Lord was with me and strengthened me. He enabled me to fully preach the message, and all the non-Jewish people [in the court] (OR, people from many nations) heard it. And I was rescued [by the Lord] {[the Lord] rescued me} [from great danger, as if I were taken] [MET] out of a lion’s (OR, wild animal’s) mouth.
| وَسَيُنْقِذُنِي ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ كُلِّ عَمَلٍ رَدِيءٍ وَيُخَلِّصُنِي لِمَلَكُوتِهِ ٱلسَّمَاوِيِّ. ٱلَّذِي لَهُ ٱلْمَجْدُ إِلَى دَهْرِ ٱلدُّهُورِ. آمِينَ. (aiōn g165) | ١٨ 18 |
[Therefore, I am sure that] the Lord will rescue me from everything that is truly evil and will bring me safely to heaven, where he rules. Praise him forever! (Amen!/May it be so!) (aiōn g165)
| سَلِّمْ عَلَى فِرِسْكَا وَأَكِيلَا وَبَيْتِ أُنِيسِيفُورُسَ. | ١٩ 19 |
Greet [for me] Priscilla and [her husband] Aquila and the family of Onesiphorus.
| أَرَاسْتُسُ بَقِيَ فِي كُورِنْثُوسَ. وَأَمَّا تُرُوفِيمُسُ فَتَرَكْتُهُ فِي مِيلِيتُسَ مَرِيضًا. | ٢٠ 20 |
Erastus stayed in Corinth [city]. Trophimus, I left in Miletus [city] because he was sick.
| بَادِرْ أَنْ تَجِيءَ قَبْلَ ٱلشِّتَاءِ. يُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْكَ أَفْبُولُسُ وَبُودِيسُ وَلِينُسُ وَكَلَافِدِيَّةُ وَٱلْإِخْوَةُ جَمِيعًا. | ٢١ 21 |
(Do your best/Try hard) to come to me before (the stormy season/winter). Eubulus, Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and many other fellow believers [in this city] (send their greetings to/say that they are thinking affectionately about) you.
| اَلرَّبُّ يَسُوعُ ٱلْمَسِيحُ مَعَ رُوحِكَ. اَلنِّعْمَةُ مَعَكُمْ. آمِينَ. | ٢٢ 22 |
[I pray that] the Lord will [help you in] your spirit, [Timothy, and] that [he] will act kindly toward all of you [believers who are there].
