2 Timothy 2
1 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace which is in Christ Jesus:
he mama putra, khrīṣṭayīśuto yo'nugrahastasya balena tvaṁ balavān bhava|
2 And the things which thou hast heard of me by many witnesses, the same commend to faithful men, who shall be fit to teach others also.
aparaṁ bahubhiḥ sākṣibhiḥ pramāṇīkṛtāṁ yāṁ śikṣāṁ śrutavānasi tāṁ viśvāsyeṣu parasmai śikṣādāne nipuṇeṣu ca lokeṣu samarpaya|
3 Labour as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
tvaṁ yīśukhrīṣṭasyottamo yoddheva kleśaṁ sahasva|
4 No man, being a soldier to God, entangleth himself with secular businesses; that he may please him to whom he hath engaged himself.
yo yuddhaṁ karoti sa sāṁsārike vyāpāre magno na bhavati kintu svaniyojayitre rocituṁ ceṣṭate|
5 For he also that striveth for the mastery, is not crowned, except he strive lawfully.
aparaṁ yo mallai ryudhyati sa yadi niyamānusāreṇa na yuddhyati tarhi kirīṭaṁ na lapsyate|
6 The husbandman, that laboureth, must first partake of the fruits.
aparaṁ yaḥ kṛṣīvalaḥ karmma karoti tena prathamena phalabhāginā bhavitavyaṁ|
7 Understand what I say: for the Lord will give thee in all things understanding.
mayā yaducyate tat tvayā budhyatāṁ yataḥ prabhustubhyaṁ sarvvatra buddhiṁ dāsyati|
8 Be mindful that the Lord Jesus Christ is risen again from the dead, of the seed of David, according to my gospel.
mama susaṁvādasya vacanānusārād dāyūdvaṁśīyaṁ mṛtagaṇamadhyād utthāpitañca yīśuṁ khrīṣṭaṁ smara|
9 Wherein I labour even unto bands, as an evildoer; but the word of God is not bound.
tatsusaṁvādakāraṇād ahaṁ duṣkarmmeva bandhanadaśāparyyantaṁ kleśaṁ bhuñje kintvīśvarasya vākyam abaddhaṁ tiṣṭhati|
10 Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation, which is in Christ Jesus, with heavenly glory. (aiōnios g166)
khrīṣṭena yīśunā yad anantagauravasahitaṁ paritrāṇaṁ jāyate tadabhirucitai rlokairapi yat labhyeta tadarthamahaṁ teṣāṁ nimittaṁ sarvvāṇyetāni sahe| (aiōnios g166)
11 A faithful saying: for if we be dead with him, we shall live also with him.
aparam eṣā bhāratī satyā yadi vayaṁ tena sārddhaṁ mriyāmahe tarhi tena sārddhaṁ jīvivyāmaḥ, yadi ca kleśaṁ sahāmahe tarhi tena sārddhaṁ rājatvamapi kariṣyāmahe|
12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him. If we deny him, he will also deny us.
yadi vayaṁ tam anaṅgīkurmmastarhi so 'smānapyanaṅgīkariṣyati|
13 If we believe not, he continueth faithful, he can not deny himself.
yadi vayaṁ na viśvāsāmastarhi sa viśvāsyastiṣṭhati yataḥ svam apahnotuṁ na śaknoti|
14 Of these things put them in mind, charging them before the Lord. Contend not in words, for it is to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers.
tvametāni smārayan te yathā niṣphalaṁ śrotṛṇāṁ bhraṁśajanakaṁ vāgyuddhaṁ na kuryyastathā prabhoḥ samakṣaṁ dṛḍhaṁ vinīyādiśa|
15 Carefully study to present thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.
aparaṁ tvam īśvarasya sākṣāt svaṁ parīkṣitam anindanīyakarmmakāriṇañca satyamatasya vākyānāṁ sadvibhajane nipuṇañca darśayituṁ yatasva|
16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they grow much towards ungodliness.
kintvapavitrā anarthakakathā dūrīkuru yatastadālambina uttarottaram adharmme varddhiṣyante,
17 And their speech spreadeth like a canker: of whom are Hymeneus and Philetus:
teṣāñca vākyaṁ galitakṣatavat kṣayavarddhako bhaviṣyati teṣāṁ madhye humināyaḥ philītaścetināmānau dvau janau satyamatād bhraṣṭau jātau,
18 Who have erred from the truth, saying, that the resurrection is past already, and have subverted the faith of some.
mṛtānāṁ punarutthiti rvyatīteti vadantau keṣāñcid viśvāsam utpāṭayataśca|
19 But the sure foundation of God standeth firm, having this seal: the Lord knoweth who are his; and let every one depart from iniquity who nameth the name of the Lord.
tathāpīśvarasya bhittimūlam acalaṁ tiṣṭhati tasmiṁśceyaṁ lipi rmudrāṅkitā vidyate| yathā, jānāti parameśastu svakīyān sarvvamānavān| apagacched adharmmācca yaḥ kaścit khrīṣṭanāmakṛt||
20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and earth: and some indeed unto honour, but some unto dishonour.
kintu bṛhanniketane kevala suvarṇamayāni raupyamayāṇi ca bhājanāni vidyanta iti tarhi kāṣṭhamayāni mṛṇmayānyapi vidyante teṣāñca kiyanti sammānāya kiyantapamānāya ca bhavanti|
21 If any man therefore shall cleanse himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified and profitable to the Lord, prepared unto every good work.
ato yadi kaścid etādṛśebhyaḥ svaṁ pariṣkaroti tarhi sa pāvitaṁ prabhoḥ kāryyayogyaṁ sarvvasatkāryyāyopayuktaṁ sammānārthakañca bhājanaṁ bhaviṣyati|
22 But flee thou youthful desires, and pursue justice, faith, charity, and peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
yauvanāvasthāyā abhilāṣāstvayā parityajyantāṁ dharmmo viśvāsaḥ prema ye ca śucimanobhiḥ prabhum uddiśya prārthanāṁ kurvvate taiḥ sārddham aikyabhāvaścaiteṣu tvayā yatno vidhīyatāṁ|
23 And avoid foolish and unlearned questions, knowing that they beget strifes.
aparaṁ tvam anarthakān ajñānāṁśca praśnān vāgyuddhotpādakān jñātvā dūrīkuru|
24 But the servant of the Lord must not wrangle: but be mild towards all men, apt to teach, patient,
yataḥ prabho rdāsena yuddham akarttavyaṁ kintu sarvvān prati śāntena śikṣādānecchukena sahiṣṇunā ca bhavitavyaṁ, vipakṣāśca tena namratvena cetitavyāḥ|
25 With modesty admonishing them that resist the truth: if peradventure God may give them repentance to know the truth,
tathā kṛte yadīśvaraḥ satyamatasya jñānārthaṁ tebhyo manaḥparivarttanarūpaṁ varaṁ dadyāt,
26 And they may recover themselves from the snares of the devil, by whom they are held captive at his will.
tarhi te yena śayatānena nijābhilāṣasādhanāya dhṛtāstasya jālāt cetanāṁ prāpyoddhāraṁ labdhuṁ śakṣyanti|
