2 Timothy 4
1 I charge thee therefore before God, and before the Lord Iesus Christ, which shall iudge the quicke and dead at that his appearing, and in his kingdome,
Testificor coram Deo, et Jesu Christo, qui judicaturus est vivos et mortuos, per adventum ipsius, et regnum ejus:
2 Preach the worde: be instant, in season and out of season: improue, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine.
prædica verbum, insta opportune, importune: argue, obsecra, increpa in omni patientia, et doctrina.
3 For the time will come, when they will not suffer wholesome doctrine: but hauing their eares itching, shall after their owne lustes get them an heape of teachers,
Erit enim tempus, cum sanam doctrinam non sustinebunt, sed ad sua desideria coacervabunt sibi magistros, prurientes auribus,
4 And shall turne their eares from the trueth, and shalbe giuen vnto fables.
et a veritate quidem auditum avertent, ad fabulas autem convertentur.
5 But watch thou in all thinges: suffer aduersitie: doe the worke of an Euangelist: cause thy ministerie to be throughly liked of.
Tu vero vigila, in omnibus labora, opus fac evangelistæ, ministerium tuum imple. Sobrius esto.
6 For I am nowe readie to be offered, and the time of my departing is at hand.
Ego enim jam delibor, et tempus resolutionis meæ instat.
7 I haue fought a good fight, and haue finished my course: I haue kept the faith.
Bonum certamen certavi, cursum consummavi, fidem servavi.
8 For hence foorth is laide vp for me the crowne of righteousnesse, which the Lord the righteous iudge shall giue me at that day: and not to me onely, but vnto all them also that loue that his appearing.
In reliquo reposita est mihi corona justitiæ, quam reddet mihi Dominus in illa die, justus judex: non solum autem mihi, sed et iis, qui diligunt adventum ejus.
9 Make speede to come vnto me at once:
Festina ad me venire cito.
10 For Demas hath forsaken me, and hath embraced this present world, and is departed vnto Thessalonica. Crescens is gone to Galatia, Titus vnto Dalmatia. (aiōn g165)
Demas enim me reliquit, diligens hoc sæculum, et abiit Thessalonicam: Crescens in Galatiam, Titus in Dalmatiam. (aiōn g165)
11 Onely Luke is with me. Take Marke and bring him with thee: for he is profitable vnto me to minister.
Lucas est mecum solus. Marcum assume, et adduc tecum: est enim mihi utilis in ministerium.
12 And Tychicus haue I sent to Ephesus.
Tychicum autem misi Ephesum.
13 The cloke that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou commest, bring with thee, and the bookes, but specially the parchments.
Penulam, quam reliqui Troade apud Carpum, veniens affer tecum, et libros, maxime autem membranas.
14 Alexander the coppersmith hath done me much euill: the Lord rewarde him according to his workes.
Alexander ærarius multa mala mihi ostendit: reddet illi Dominus secundum opera ejus:
15 Of whome be thou ware also: for he withstoode our preaching sore.
quem et tu devita: valde enim restitit verbis nostris.
16 At my first answering no man assisted me, but all forsooke me: I pray God, that it may not be laide to their charge.
In prima mea defensione nemo mihi affuit, sed omnes me dereliquerunt: non illis imputetur.
17 Notwithstanding the Lord assisted me, and strengthened me, that by me the preaching might be fully beleeued, and that al the Gentiles should heare: and I was deliuered out of the mouth of the lion.
Dominus autem mihi astitit, et confortavit me, ut per me prædicatio impleatur, et audiant omnes gentes: et liberatus sum de ore leonis.
18 And the Lord will deliuer me from euery euil worke, and will preserue me vnto his heauenly kingdome: to whome be praise for euer and euer, Amen. (aiōn g165)
Liberavit me Dominus ab omni opere malo: et salvum faciet in regnum suum cæleste, cui gloria in sæcula sæculorum. Amen. (aiōn g165)
19 Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the householde of Onesiphorus.
Saluta Priscam, et Aquilam, et Onesiphori domum.
20 Erastus abode at Corinthus: Trophimus I left at Miletum sicke.
Erastus remansit Corinthi. Trophimum autem reliqui infirmum Mileti.
21 Make speede to come before winter. Eubulus greeteth thee, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren.
Festina ante hiemem venire. Salutant te Eubulus, et Pudens, et Linus, et Claudia, et fratres omnes.
22 The Lord Iesus Christ be with thy spirit. Grace be with you, Amen. ‘The second Epistle written from Rome vnto Timotheus, the first Bishop elected of the Church of Ephesus, when Paul was presented the second time before the Emperour Nero.’
Dominus Jesus Christus cum spiritu tuo. Gratia vobiscum. Amen.
