Timotheum I 4

1 Spiritus autem manifeste dicit, quia in novissimis temporibus discedent quidam a fide, attendentes spiritibus erroris, et doctrinis daemoniorum,

pavitra ātmā spaṣṭam idaṁ vākyaṁ vadati caramakāle katipayalokā vahnināṅkitatvāt

2 in hypocrisi loquentium mendacium, et cauteriatam habentium suam conscientiam,

kaṭhoramanasāṁ kāpaṭyād anṛtavādināṁ vivāhaniṣedhakānāṁ bhakṣyaviśeṣaniṣedhakānāñca

3 prohibentium nubere, et abstinere a cibis, quod Deus creavit ad percipiendum cum gratiarum actione fidelibus, et iis, qui cognoverunt veritatem.

bhūtasvarūpāṇāṁ śikṣāyāṁ bhramakātmanāṁ vākyeṣu ca manāṁsi niveśya dharmmād bhraṁśiṣyante| tāni tu bhakṣyāṇi viśvāsināṁ svīkṛtasatyadharmmāṇāñca dhanyavādasahitāya bhogāyeśvareṇa sasṛjire|

4 Quia omnis creatura Dei bona est, et nihil reiiciendum quod cum gratiarum actione percipitur:

yata īśvareṇa yadyat sṛṣṭaṁ tat sarvvam uttamaṁ yadi ca dhanyavādena bhujyate tarhi tasya kimapi nāgrāhyaṁ bhavati,

5 sanctificatur enim per verbum Dei, et orationem.

yata īśvarasya vākyena prārthanayā ca tat pavitrībhavati|

6 Haec proponens fratribus, bonus eris minister Christi Iesu enutritus verbis fidei, et bonae doctrinae, quam assecutus es.

etāni vākyāni yadi tvaṁ bhrātṛn jñāpayestarhi yīśukhrīṣṭasyottamḥ paricārako bhaviṣyasi yo viśvāso hitopadeśaśca tvayā gṛhītastadīyavākyairāpyāyiṣyase ca|

7 Ineptas autem, et aniles fabulas devita: exerce autem teipsum ad pietatem.

yānyupākhyānāni durbhāvāni vṛddhayoṣitāmeva yogyāni ca tāni tvayā visṛjyantām īśvarabhaktaye yatnaḥ kriyatāñca|

8 Nam corporalis exercitatio, ad modicum utilis est: pietas autem ad omnia utilis est, promissionem habens vitae, quae nunc est, et futurae.

yataḥ śārīriko yatnaḥ svalpaphalado bhavati kintvīśvarabhaktiraihikapāratrikajīvanayoḥ pratijñāyuktā satī sarvvatra phaladā bhavati|

9 Fidelis sermo, et omni acceptione dignus.

vākyametad viśvasanīyaṁ sarvvai rgrahaṇīyañca vayañca tadarthameva śrāmyāmo nindāṁ bhuṁjmahe ca|

10 In hoc enim laboramus, et maledicimur, quia speramus in Deum vivum, qui est Salvator omnium hominum, maxime fidelium.

yato hetoḥ sarvvamānavānāṁ viśeṣato viśvāsināṁ trātā yo'mara īśvarastasmin vayaṁ viśvasāmaḥ|

11 Praecipe haec, et doce.

tvam etāni vākyāni pracāraya samupadiśa ca|

12 Nemo adolescentiam tuam contemnat: sed exemplum esto fidelium in verbo, in conversatione, in charitate, in fide, in castitate.

alpavayaṣkatvāt kenāpyavajñeyo na bhava kintvālāpenācaraṇena premnā sadātmatvena viśvāsena śucitvena ca viśvāsinām ādarśo bhava|

13 Dum venio, attende lectioni, exhortationi, et doctrinae.

yāvannāham āgamiṣyāmi tāvat tva pāṭhe cetayane upadeśe ca mano nidhatsva|

14 Noli negligere gratiam, quae in te est, quae data est tibi per prophetiam, cum impositione manuum presbyterii.

prācīnagaṇahastārpaṇasahitena bhaviṣyadvākyena yaddānaṁ tubhyaṁ viśrāṇitaṁ tavāntaḥsthe tasmin dāne śithilamanā mā bhava|

15 Haec meditare, in his esto: ut profectus tuus manifestus sit omnibus.

eteṣu mano niveśaya, eteṣu varttasva, itthañca sarvvaviṣaye tava guṇavṛddhiḥ prakāśatāṁ|

16 Attende tibi, et doctrinae: insta in illis. Hoc enim faciens, et teipsum salvum facies, et eos qui te audiunt.

svasmin upadeśe ca sāvadhāno bhūtvāvatiṣṭhasva tat kṛtvā tvayātmaparitrāṇaṁ śrotṛṇāñca paritrāṇaṁ sādhayiṣyate|
