2 Timoteo 4

1 Requiéro te, pues, yo delante de Dios, y del Señor Jesu Cristo, que ha de juzgar a los vivos y a los muertos en su manifestación, y en su reino;

I give you orders, before God and Christ Jesus, who will be the judge of the living and the dead, and by his revelation and his kingdom;

2 Que prediques la palabra; que instes a tiempo y fuera de tiempo; redarguye, reprende, exhorta con toda blandura y doctrina:

Be preaching the word at all times, in every place; make protests, say sharp words, give comfort, with long waiting and teaching;

3 Porque vendrá tiempo cuando no sufrirán la sana doctrina, antes teniendo comezón en las orejas, se amontonarán maestros que les hablen conforme a sus mismas concupiscencias.

For the time will come when they will not take the true teaching; but, moved by their desires, they will get for themselves a great number of teachers for the pleasure of hearing them;

4 Y así apartarán de la verdad el oído, y se volverán a las fábulas.

And shutting their ears to what is true, will be turned away to belief in foolish stories.

5 Tú por tanto vela en todo, sufre trabajos, haz obra de evangelista, cumple bien tu ministerio:

But be self-controlled in all things, do without comfort, go on preaching the good news, completing the work which has been given you to do.

6 Porque yo ya presto soy sacrificado, y el tiempo de mi desatamiento está cercano.

For I am even now being offered, and my end is near.

7 Buena milicia he militado, acabado he la carrera, he guardado la fe.

I have made a good fight, I have come to the end of my journey, I have kept the faith:

8 Por lo demás, me está guardada la corona de justicia, la cual me dará el Señor, el juez justo, en aquel día; y no solo a mí, sino también a todos los que aman su venida.

From now on, the crown of righteousness is made ready for me, which the Lord, the upright judge, Will give to me at that day: and not only to me, but to all those who have had love for his revelation.

9 Procura de venir presto a mí;

Do your best to come to me before long:

10 Porque Démas me ha desamparado, amando este mundo presente, y es ido a Tesalónica; Crescente a Galacia; Tito a Dalmacia. (aiōn g165)

For Demas has gone away from me, for love of this present life, and has gone to Thessalonica: Crescens has gone to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia. (aiōn g165)

11 Lúcas solo está conmigo. Toma a Márcos, y tráele contigo; porque me es útil para el ministerio.

Only Luke is with me. Get Mark and take him with you; for he is of use to me in the work.

12 A Tíquico envié a Efeso.

Tychicus I sent to Ephesus.

13 La capa que dejé en Troas en casa de Carpo, traé la contigo cuando vinieres, y los libros, mayormente los pergaminos.

The coat which I did not take from Troas and which is with Carpus, get when you come, and the books, specially the papers.

14 Alejandro el metalero me ha diseñado muchos males: Dios le pague conforme a sus hechos:

Alexander the copper-worker did me much wrong: the Lord will give him the reward of his works:

15 Del cual tú también te guarda: que en grande manera ha resistido a nuestras palabras.

But be on the watch for him, for he was violent in his attacks on our teaching.

16 En mi primera defensa ninguno estuvo conmigo; antes me desampararon todos: ruego a Dios no les sea imputado.

At my first meeting with my judges, no one took my part, but all went away from me. May it not be put to their account.

17 Mas el Señor estuvo a mi lado, y me esforzó para que por mí fuese cumplida la predicación, y todos los Gentiles la oyesen; y fui librado de la boca del león.

But the Lord was by my side and gave me strength; so that through me the news might be given out in full measure, and all the Gentiles might give ear: and I was taken out of the mouth of the lion.

18 Y el Señor me librará de toda obra mala, y me preservará para su reino celestial: al cual sea gloria por siglos de siglos. Amén. (aiōn g165)

The Lord will keep me safe from every evil work and will give me salvation in his kingdom in heaven: to whom be glory for ever and ever. So be it. (aiōn g165)

19 Saluda a Prisca y a Aquila, y a la casa de Onesiforo.

Give my love to Prisca and Aquila and those of the house of Onesiphorus.

20 Erasto se quedó en Corinto; y a Trófimo le dejé en Mileto enfermo.

Erastus was stopping at Corinth; but Trophimus, when I last saw him was at Miletus, ill.

21 Apresúrate a venir antes del invierno. Eubulo te saluda, y Pudente, y Lino, y Claudia, y todos los hermanos.

Do your best to come before the winter. Eubulus sends you his love, and Pudens and Linus and Claudia, and all the brothers.

22 El Señor Jesu Cristo sea con tu espíritu. La gracia sea con vosotros. Amén. La segunda a Timoteo, fue escrita de Roma: el cual fue el primer obispo, que fue ordenado en Efeso, cuando Pablo fue presentado la segunda vez a César Nerón.

The Lord be with your spirit. Grace be with you.
