2 tīmathiyaḥ 3

1 caramadineṣu kleśajanakāḥ samayā upasthāsyantīti jānīhi|

But know this, that in the last days terrible times will come.

2 yatastātkālikā lokā ātmapremiṇo 'rthapremiṇa ātmaślāghino 'bhimānino nindakāḥ pitroranājñāgrāhiṇaḥ kṛtaghnā apavitrāḥ

For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

3 prītivarjitā asandheyā mṛṣāpavādino 'jitendriyāḥ pracaṇḍā bhadradveṣiṇo

unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, hateful of good,

4 viśvāsaghātakā duḥsāhasino darpadhmātā īśvarāpremiṇaḥ kintu sukhapremiṇo

treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God;

5 bhaktaveśāḥ kintvasvīkṛtabhaktiguṇā bhaviṣyanti; etādṛśānāṁ lokānāṁ saṁmargaṁ parityaja|

holding a form of godliness, but having denied the power thereof. Turn away from these, also.

6 yato ye janāḥ pracchannaṁ gehān praviśanti pāpai rbhāragrastā nānāvidhābhilāṣaiścālitā yāḥ kāminyo

For among them are those who crawl into households and take captive weak-willed women weighed down with sins, led away by various passions and pleasures,

7 nityaṁ śikṣante kintu satyamatasya tattvajñānaṁ prāptuṁ kadācit na śaknuvanti tā dāsīvad vaśīkurvvate ca te tādṛśā lokāḥ|

always learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

8 yānni ryāmbriśca yathā mūsamaṁ prati vipakṣatvam akurutāṁ tathaiva bhraṣṭamanaso viśvāsaviṣaye 'grāhyāścaite lokā api satyamataṁ prati vipakṣatāṁ kurvvanti|

Even as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so do these also oppose the truth; people corrupted in mind, disapproved concerning the faith.

9 kintu te bahudūram agrasarā na bhaviṣyanti yatastayo rmūḍhatā yadvat tadvad eteṣāmapi mūḍhatā sarvvadṛśyā bhaviṣyati|

But they will proceed no further. For their folly will be evident to all, as theirs also was.

10 mamopadeśaḥ śiṣṭatābhiprāyo viśvāso rdharyyaṁ prema sahiṣṇutopadravaḥ kleśā

But you did follow my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, love, steadfastness,

11 āntiyakhiyāyām ikaniye lūstrāyāñca māṁ prati yadyad aghaṭata yāṁścopadravān aham asahe sarvvametat tvam avagato'si kintu tatsarvvataḥ prabhu rmām uddhṛtavān|

persecutions, and sufferings: those things that happened to me at Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. I endured those persecutions. Out of them all the Lord delivered me.

12 parantu yāvanto lokāḥ khrīṣṭena yīśuneśvarabhaktim ācaritum icchanti teṣāṁ sarvveṣām upadravo bhaviṣyati|

Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Messiah Jesus will suffer persecution.

13 aparaṁ pāpiṣṭhāḥ khalāśca lokā bhrāmyanto bhramayantaścottarottaraṁ duṣṭatvena varddhiṣyante|

But evil people and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.

14 kintu tvaṁ yad yad aśikṣathāḥ, yacca tvayi samarpitam abhūt tasmin avatiṣṭha, yataḥ kasmāt śikṣāṁ prāpto'si tad vetsi;

But you remain in the things which you have learned and have been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them.

15 yāni ca dharmmaśāstrāṇi khrīṣṭe yīśau viśvāsena paritrāṇaprāptaye tvāṁ jñāninaṁ karttuṁ śaknuvanti tāni tvaṁ śaiśavakālād avagato'si|

From infancy, you have known the holy Scriptures which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith, which is in Messiah Jesus.

16 tat sarvvaṁ śāstram īśvarasyātmanā dattaṁ śikṣāyai doṣabodhāya śodhanāya dharmmavinayāya ca phalayūktaṁ bhavati

All Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,

17 tena ceśvarasya loko nipuṇaḥ sarvvasmai satkarmmaṇe susajjaśca bhavati|

that the person of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
