Timotheum Ii 1
1 Paulus Apostolus Iesu Christi per voluntatem Dei, secundum promissionem vitae, quae est in Christo Iesu:
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus, through the will of God, —according to the promise of life in Christ Jesus; —
2 Timotheo charissimo filio, gratia, misericordia et pax a Deo Patre nostro, et Christo Iesu Domino nostro.
Unto Timothy, my beloved child: Favour, mercy, peace, from God our 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
Grateful, am I, unto God, —unto whom I am rendering divine service from my progenitors in a pure conscience, that, incessant, hold I the remembrance, concerning thee, in my supplications; day and night,
4 desiderans te videre, memor lacrymarum tuarum, ut gaudio implear,
longing to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, —in order that, with joy, I may be filled:
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.
A reminder, having received, of the unfeigned faith, that is in thee, —such, as dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and in thy mother Eunice, —I am persuaded, moreover, that [it dwelleth], in thee also.
6 Propter quam causam admoneo te ut resuscites gratiam Dei, quae est in te per impositionem manuum mearum.
For which cause, I put thee in remembrance, to be stirring up God’s gift of favour, which is in thee through means of the laying on of my hands;
7 Non enim dedit nobis Deus spiritum timoris: sed virtutis, et dilectionis, et sobrietatis.
For God hath not given us a spirit of cowardice, but of power, and love, and correction.
8 Noli itaque erubescere testimonium Domini nostri, neque me vinctum eius: sed collabora Evangelio secundum virtutem Dei:
Be not thou, therefore, put to shame—with regard to the witness of our Lord, nor with regard to me his prisoner; but suffer hardship together with the glad-message 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 hath saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to the peculiar purpose and favour—which was given to us in Christ Jesus before age-during times, (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 hath now been made manifest through means of the forthshining of our Saviour Christ Jesus, —Who, indeed, hath abolished death, and hath thrown light upon life and incorruptibility, through means of the glad-message:
11 in quo positus sum ego praedicator, et Apostolus, et magister Gentium.
Whereunto, I, have been appointed herald and apostle and teacher;
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 which cause, these things also, am I suffering; nevertheless I am not being put to shame, for I know him whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is, able, to guard, that which I have entrusted, [to him] unto, that, day.
13 Formam habe sanorum verborum, quae a me audisti in fide, et in dilectione in Christo Iesu.
An outline, have thou, of healthful discourses which from me thou hast heard—with the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus:
14 Bonum depositum custodi per Spiritum sanctum, qui habitat in nobis.
The noble thing entrusted [to thee], do thou guard, through means of the Holy Spirit which dwelleth within us.
15 Scis enim hoc, quod aversi sunt a me omnes, qui in Asia sunt, ex quibus est Philetus, et Hermogenes.
Thou knowest this—that all they who are in Asia have 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:
The Lord grant mercy unto the house, of Onesiphorus, in that, ofttimes, hath he refreshed me, and, as regardeth my chain, hath not been put to shame,
17 sed cum Romam venisset, solicite me quaesivit, et invenit.
But, happening to be in Rome, he diligently sought out 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 him to find mercy from [the] Lord in, that, day; —and, how many times, in Ephesus, he hath ministered, better art, thou, getting to know.
