Timotheum Ii 1
1 Paulus Apostolus Iesu Christi per voluntatem Dei, secundum promissionem vitae, quae est in Christo Iesu:
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, according to the promise of the life which is in Christ Jesus,
2 Timotheo charissimo filio, gratia, misericordia et pax a Deo Patre nostro, et Christo Iesu Domino nostro.
to Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 Gratias ago Deo meo, cui servio a progenitoribus meis in conscientia pura, quod sine intermissione habeam tui memoriam in orationibus meis, nocte ac die
I thank God, whom I serve as my forefathers did, with a pure conscience. How unceasing is my memory of you in my petitions, night and day
4 desiderans te videre, memor lacrymarum tuarum, ut gaudio implear,
longing to see you, remembering your tears, that I may be filled with joy;
5 recordationem accipiens eius fidei, quae est in te non ficta, quae et habitavit primum in avia tua Loide, et matre tua Eunice, certus sum autem quod et in te.
having been reminded of the sincere faith that is in you, which lived first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, in you also.
6 Propter quam causam admoneo te ut resuscites gratiam Dei, quae est in te per impositionem manuum mearum.
For this cause, I remind you that you should stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.
7 Non enim dedit nobis Deus spiritum timoris: sed virtutis, et dilectionis, et sobrietatis.
For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.
8 Noli itaque erubescere testimonium Domini nostri, neque me vinctum eius: sed collabora Evangelio secundum virtutem Dei:
Therefore don’t be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner; but endure hardship for the Good News according to the power of God,
9 qui nos liberavit, et vocavit vocatione sua sancta, non secundum opera nostra, sed secundum propositum suum, et gratiam, quae data est nobis in Christo Iesu ante tempora saecularia. (aiōnios g166)
who saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before times eternal, (aiōnios g166)
10 Manifestata est autem nunc per illuminationem Salvatoris nostri Iesu Christi, qui destruxit quidem mortem, illuminavit autem vitam, et incorruptionem per Evangelium:
but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light through the Good News.
11 in quo positus sum ego praedicator, et Apostolus, et magister Gentium.
For this I was appointed as a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.
12 Ob quam causam etiam haec patior, sed non confundor. Scio enim cui credidi, et certus sum quia potens est depositum meum servare in illum diem.
For this cause I also suffer these things. Yet I am not ashamed, for I know him whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to guard that which I have committed to him against that day.
13 Formam habe sanorum verborum, quae a me audisti in fide, et in dilectione in Christo Iesu.
Hold the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
14 Bonum depositum custodi per Spiritum sanctum, qui habitat in nobis.
That good thing which was committed to you, guard through the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.
15 Scis enim hoc, quod aversi sunt a me omnes, qui in Asia sunt, ex quibus est Philetus, et Hermogenes.
This you know, that all who are in Asia turned away from me, of whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.
16 Det misericordiam Dominus Onesiphori domui: quia saepe me refrigeravit, et catenam meam non erubuit:
May the Lord grant mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain,
17 sed cum Romam venisset, solicite me quaesivit, et invenit.
but when he was in Rome, he sought me diligently and found me
18 Det illi Dominus invenire misericordiam a Deo in illa die. Et quanta Ephesi ministravit mihi, tu melius nosti.
(the Lord grant to him to find the Lord’s mercy in that day); and in how many things he served at Ephesus, you know very well.
