Timotheum Ii 4

1 Testificor coram Deo, et Iesu Christo, qui iudicaturus est vivos, et mortuos, per adventum ipsius, et regnum eius:

I charge [thee] therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;

2 praedica verbum, insta opportune, importune: argue, obsecra, increpa in omni patientia, et doctrina.

Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.

3 Erit enim tempus, cum sanam doctrinam non sustinebunt, sed ad sua desideria coacervabunt sibi magistros, prurientes auribus,

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

4 et a veritate quidem auditum avertent, ad fabulas autem convertentur.

And they shall turn away [their] ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

5 Tu vero vigila, in omnibus labora, opus fac Evangelistae, ministerium tuum imple. Sobrius esto.

But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.

6 Ego enim iam delibor, et tempus resolutionis meae instat.

For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.

7 Bonum certamen certavi, cursum consummavi, fidem servavi.

I have fought a good fight, I have finished [my] course, I have kept the faith:

8 In reliquo reposita est mihi corona iustitiae, quam reddet mihi Dominus in illa die iustus iudex: non solum autem mihi, sed et iis, qui diligunt adventum eius.

Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.

9 Festina ad me venire cito.

Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me:

10 Demas enim me reliquit, diligens hoc saeculum, et abiit Thessalonicam: Crescens in Galatiam, Titus in Dalmatiam. (aiōn g165)

For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia. (aiōn g165)

11 Lucas est mecum solus. Marcum assume, et adduc tecum: est enim mihi utilis in ministerio.

Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry.

12 Tychicum autem misi Ephesum.

And Tychicus have I sent to Ephesus.

13 Penulam, quam reliqui Troade apud Carpum, veniens affer tecum, et libros, maxime autem membranas.

The cloke that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest, bring [with thee], and the books, [but] especially the parchments.

14 Alexander aerarius multa mala mihi ostendit: reddet illi Dominus secundum opera eius:

Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord reward him according to his works:

15 quem et tu devita: valde enim restitit verbis nostris.

Of whom be thou ware also; for he hath greatly withstood our words.

16 In prima mea defensione nemo mihi affuit, sed omnes me dereliquerunt: non illis imputetur.

At my first answer no man stood with me, but all [men] forsook me: [I pray God] that it may not be laid to their charge.

17 Dominus autem mihi astitit, et confortavit me, ut per me praedicatio impleatur, et audiant omnes Gentes: et liberatus sum de ore leonis.

Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and [that] all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.

18 Liberavit me Dominus ab omni opere malo: et salvum faciet in regnum suum caeleste, cui gloria in saecula saeculorum. Amen. (aiōn g165)

And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve [me] unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom [be] glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

19 Saluta Priscam, et Aquilam, et Onesiphori domum.

Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus.

20 Erastus remansit Corinthi. Trophimum autem reliqui infirmum Mileti.

Erastus abode at Corinth: but Trophimus have I left at Miletum sick.

21 Festina ante hiemem venire. Salutant te Eubulus, et Pudens, et Linus, et Claudia, et fratres omnes.

Do thy diligence to come before winter. Eubulus greeteth thee, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren.

22 Dominus Iesus Christus cum spiritu tuo. Gratia vobiscum. Amen.

The Lord Jesus Christ [be] with thy spirit. Grace [be] with you. Amen.
