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 before God, and Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom;
2 praedica verbum, insta opportune, importune: argue, obsecra, increpa in omni patientia, et doctrina.
preach the word, be urgent in season, out of season, confute, rebuke, exhort with all long-suffering and teaching.
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 desires will they heap to themselves teachers; because they have itching ears;
4 et a veritate quidem auditum avertent, ad fabulas autem convertentur.
and they will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn aside to fables.
5 Tu vero vigila, in omnibus labora, opus fac Evangelistae, ministerium tuum imple. Sobrius esto.
But be thou watchful in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fully accomplish thy ministry.
6 Ego enim iam delibor, et tempus resolutionis meae instat.
For I am already about to be offered as a sacrifice, and the time of my departure is at hand.
7 Bonum certamen certavi, cursum consummavi, fidem servavi.
I have fought the 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 the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me at that day, and not to me only, but to all those who have loved his appearing.
9 Festina ad me venire cito.
Use diligence to come to me shortly.
10 Demas enim me reliquit, diligens hoc saeculum, et abiit Thessalonicam: Crescens in Galatiam, Titus in Dalmatiam. (aiōn g165)
For Demas forsook me, because he loved the present world, and went to Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus to 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 useful to me for the ministry.
12 Tychicum autem misi Ephesum.
But Tychicus I sent to Ephesus.
13 Penulam, quam reliqui Troade apud Carpum, veniens affer tecum, et libros, maxime autem membranas.
The cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest bring with thee, and the books, 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 will reward him according to his works;
15 quem et tu devita: valde enim restitit verbis nostris.
of whom do thou also beware; 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 defence no one came forward with me, but all forsook me. May it 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.
But the Lord stood by me, and strengthened me, that the preaching might be fully accomplished by me, and that all the gentiles might hear; and I was delivered out of the lion's mouth.
18 Liberavit me Dominus ab omni opere malo: et salvum faciet in regnum suum caeleste, cui gloria in saecula saeculorum. Amen. (aiōn g165)
The Lord will deliver me from every evil deed, and preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom; to whom be the 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 remained at Corinth, but Trophimus I left at Miletus sick.
21 Festina ante hiemem venire. Salutant te Eubulus, et Pudens, et Linus, et Claudia, et fratres omnes.
Use diligence to come before winter. Eubulus saluteth thee, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren.
22 Dominus Iesus Christus cum spiritu tuo. Gratia vobiscum. Amen.
The Lord be with thy spirit. Grace be with you.
