| ܡܤܗܕ ܐܢܐ ܠܟ ܩܕܡ ܐܠܗܐ ܘܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܗܘ ܕܥܬܝܕ ܠܡܕܢ ܚܝܐ ܘܡܝܬܐ ܒܓܠܝܢܐ ܕܡܠܟܘܬܗ | 1 |
I solemnly testify therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who is going to judge the living and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom,
| ܐܟܪܙ ܡܠܬܐ ܘܩܘܡ ܒܚܦܝܛܘܬܐ ܒܙܒܢܐ ܘܕܠܐ ܙܒܢܐ ܐܟܤ ܘܟܘܢ ܒܟܠܗ ܡܓܪܬ ܪܘܚܐ ܘܝܘܠܦܢܐ | 2 |
preach the word, stand ready in season, out of season, reprove, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.
| ܢܗܘܐ ܓܝܪ ܙܒܢܐ ܕܠܝܘܠܦܢܐ ܚܠܝܡܐ ܠܐ ܢܫܬܡܥܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܐܝܟ ܪܓܝܓܬܗܘܢ ܢܤܓܘܢ ܠܢܦܫܗܘܢ ܡܠܦܢܐ ܒܚܘܬܚܬܐ ܕܡܫܡܥܬܗܘܢ | 3 |
For there will be time when they will not tolerate sound doctrine, but they will accumulate teachers to themselves according to their own desires, who tickle the ear,
| ܘܡܢ ܫܪܪܐ ܢܗܦܟܘܢ ܐܕܢܗܘܢ ܠܫܘܥܝܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܢܤܛܘܢ | 4 |
and will indeed turn the ear away from the truth, and will be turned aside to myths.
| ܐܢܬ ܕܝܢ ܗܘܝܬ ܥܝܪ ܒܟܠܡܕܡ ܘܤܝܒܪ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܘܥܒܕܐ ܥܒܕ ܕܡܤܒܪܢܐ ܘܬܫܡܫܬܟ ܫܠܡ | 5 |
But be thou sober in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, bring thy ministry to fullness.
| ܐܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܡܟܝܠ ܡܬܢܩܐ ܐܢܐ ܘܙܒܢܐ ܕܐܫܬܪܐ ܡܛܐ | 6 |
For I am already poured out a libation, and the time of my dissolution is imminent.
| ܐܓܘܢܐ ܫܦܝܪܐ ܐܬܟܬܫܬ ܘܪܗܛܝ ܫܠܡܬ ܘܗܝܡܢܘܬܝ ܢܛܪܬ | 7 |
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith.
| ܘܡܢ ܗܫܐ ܢܛܝܪ ܠܝ ܟܠܝܠܐ ܕܟܐܢܘܬܐ ܕܢܦܪܥܝܘܗܝ ܠܝ ܡܪܝ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܗܘ ܕܗܘܝܘ ܕܝܢܐ ܟܐܢܐ ܠܐ ܕܝܢ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܠܝ ܐܠܐ ܐܦ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܚܒܘ ܠܓܠܝܢܗ | 8 |
Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me in that day, and not to me only, but also to all those who have loved his appearing.
| ܢܬܒܛܠ ܠܟ ܕܬܐܬܐ ܠܘܬܝ ܒܥܓܠ | 9 |
Hurry to come to me quickly,
| ܕܡܐ ܓܝܪ ܫܒܩܢܝ ܘܐܚܒ ܥܠܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܘܐܙܠ ܠܗ ܠܬܤܠܘܢܝܩܐ ܩܪܤܩܘܤ ܠܓܠܛܝܐ ܛܛܘܤ ܠܕܠܡܛܝܐ (aiōn g165) | 10 |
for Demas forsook me having loved the present age, and he went to Thessalonica, Crescens to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia. (aiōn g165)
| ܠܘܩܐ ܗܘ ܒܠܚܘܕܘܗܝ ܥܡܝ ܠܡܪܩܘܤ ܕܒܪ ܘܐܝܬܝܗܝ ܥܡܟ ܥܗܢ ܠܝ ܓܝܪ ܠܬܫܡܫܬܐ | 11 |
Only Luke is with me. Having taken Mark, bring him with thee, for he is useful to me for service.
| ܠܛܘܟܝܩܘܤ ܕܝܢ ܫܕܪܬ ܠܐܦܤܘܤ | 12 |
But Tychicus I sent to Ephesus.
| ܒܝܬ ܟܬܒܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܫܒܩܬ ܒܛܪܘܐܘܤ ܠܘܬ ܩܪܦܘܤ ܡܐ ܕܐܬܐ ܐܢܬ ܐܝܬܝܗܝ ܘܟܬܒܐ ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܟܪܟܐ ܕܡܓܠܐ | 13 |
Bring the cloak that I left behind at Troas with Carpus when thou come, and the books, especially the parchments.
| ܐܠܟܤܢܕܪܤ ܩܝܢܝܐ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܤܓܝܐܬܐ ܚܘܝܢܝ ܦܪܥ ܠܗ ܡܪܢ ܐܝܟ ܥܒܕܘܗܝ | 14 |
Alexander the coppersmith did many evil things to me. May the Lord repay him according to his works,
| ܐܦ ܐܢܬ ܕܝܢ ܐܙܕܗܪ ܡܢܗ ܛܒ ܓܝܪ ܙܩܝܦ ܠܘܩܒܠ ܡܠܝܢ | 15 |
of whom thou also beware, for he extremely opposed our words.
| ܒܡܦܩ ܒܪܘܚܝ ܩܕܡܝܐ ܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܗܘܐ ܥܡܝ ܐܠܐ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܫܒܩܘܢܝ ܠܐ ܬܬܚܫܒ ܠܗܘܢ ܗܕܐ | 16 |
At my first defense no man came with me, but all forsook me. May it not be reckoned to them.
| ܡܪܝ ܕܝܢ ܩܡ ܠܝ ܘܚܝܠܢܝ ܕܒܝ ܟܪܘܙܘܬܐ ܬܫܬܠܡ ܘܢܫܡܥܘܢ ܥܡܡܐ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܕܐܬܦܨܝܬ ܡܢ ܦܘܡܐ ܕܐܪܝܐ | 17 |
But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, so that through me the sacred message might be brought to fullness, and all the Gentiles might hear. And I was rescued out of the mouth of the lion.
| ܘܢܦܨܝܢܝ ܡܪܝ ܡܢ ܟܠ ܥܒܕ ܒܝܫ ܘܢܚܝܢܝ ܒܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܕܒܫܡܝܐ ܕܠܗ ܫܘܒܚܐ ܠܥܠܡ ܥܠܡܝܢ ܐܡܝܢ (aiōn g165) | 18 |
And the Lord will rescue me from every evil work, and will save me for his heavenly kingdom, to whom is the glory into the ages of the ages. Truly. (aiōn g165)
| ܗܒ ܫܠܡܐ ܠܦܪܝܤܩܠܐ ܘܠܐܩܠܘܤ ܘܠܒܝܬܐ ܕܐܢܤܝܦܘܪܘܤ | 19 |
Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the house of Onesiphorus.
| ܐܪܤܛܘܤ ܦܫ ܠܗ ܒܩܘܪܢܬܘܤ ܛܪܘܦܝܡܘܤ ܕܝܢ ܫܒܩܬܗ ܟܕ ܟܪܝܗ ܒܡܝܠܝܛܘܤ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ | 20 |
Erastus remained at Corinth, but Trophimus I left being sick at Miletus.
| ܢܬܒܛܠ ܠܟ ܕܩܕܡ ܤܬܘܐ ܬܐܬܐ ܫܐܠ ܒܫܠܡܟ ܐܘܒܘܠܘܤ ܘܦܘܕܤ ܘܠܝܢܘܤ ܘܩܠܘܕܝܐ ܘܐܚܐ ܟܠܗܘܢ | 21 |
Hurry to come before winter. Eubulus salutes thee, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brothers.
| ܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܥܡ ܪܘܚܟ ܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܥܡܟ ܐܡܝܢ | 22 |
The Lord Jesus Christ is with thy spirit. Grace is with you. Truly.
