II Timothy 2

فَتَقَوَّ أَنْتَ يَا ابْنِي بِالنِّعْمَةِ الَّتِي فِي الْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ.

Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

وَمَا سَمِعْتَهُ مِنِّي بِشُهُودٍ كَثِيرِينَ، أَوْدِعْهُ أُنَاسًا أُمَنَاءَ، يَكُونُونَ أَكْفَاءً أَنْ يُعَلِّمُوا آخَرِينَ أَيْضًا.

And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.

فَاشْتَرِكْ أَنْتَ فِي احْتِمَالِ الْمَشَقَّاتِ كَجُنْدِيٍّ صَالِحٍ لِيَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ.

Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.

لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ وَهُوَ يَتَجَنَّدُ يَرْتَبِكُ بِأَعْمَالِ الْحَيَاةِ لِكَيْ يُرْضِيَ مَنْ جَنَّدَهُ.

No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.

وَأَيْضًا إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ يُجَاهِدُ، لاَ يُكَلَّلُ إِنْ لَمْ يُجَاهِدْ قَانُونِيًّا.

And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.

يَجِبُ أَنَّ الْحَرَّاثَ الَّذِي يَتْعَبُ، يَشْتَرِكُ هُوَ أَوَّلاً فِي الأَثْمَارِ.

The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits.

افْهَمْ مَا أَقُولُ. فَلْيُعْطِكَ الرَّبُّ فَهْمًا فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ.

Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.

اُذْكُرْ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحَ الْمُقَامَ مِنَ الأَمْوَاتِ، مِنْ نَسْلِ دَاوُدَ بِحَسَبِ إِنْجِيلِي،

Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel:

الَّذِي فِيهِ أَحْتَمِلُ الْمَشَقَّاتِ حَتَّى الْقُيُودَكَمُذْنِبٍ. لكِنَّ كَلِمَةَ اللهِ لاَ تُقَيَّدُ.

Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound.

لأَجْلِ ذلِكَ أَنَا أَصْبِرُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ لأَجْلِ الْمُخْتَارِينَ، لِكَيْ يَحْصُلُوا هُمْ أَيْضًا عَلَى الْخَلاَصِ الَّذِي فِي الْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ، مَعَ مَجْدٍ أَبَدِيٍّ.

Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

صَادِقَةٌ هِيَ الْكَلِمَةُ: أَنَّهُ إِنْ كُنَّا قَدْ مُتْنَا مَعَهُ فَسَنَحْيَا أَيْضًا مَعَهُ.

It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him:

إِنْ كُنَّا نَصْبِرُ فَسَنَمْلِكُ أَيْضًا مَعَهُ. إِنْ كُنَّا نُنْكِرُهُ فَهُوَ أَيْضًا سَيُنْكِرُنَا.

If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:

إِنْ كُنَّا غَيْرَ أُمَنَاءَ فَهُوَ يَبْقَى أَمِينًا، لَنْ يَقْدِرَ أَنْ يُنْكِرَ نَفْسَهُ.

If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.

فَكِّرْ بِهذِهِ الأُمُورِ، مُنَاشِدًا قُدَّامَ الرَّبِّ أَنْ لاَ يَتَمَاحَكُوا بِالْكَلاَمِ. الأَمْرُ غَيْرُ النَّافِعِ لِشَيْءٍ، لِهَدْمِ السَّامِعِينَ.

Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers.

اجْتَهِدْ أَنْ تُقِيمَ نَفْسَكَ ِللهِ مُزَكُى، عَامِلاً لاَ يُخْزَى، مُفَصِّلاً كَلِمَةَ الْحَقِّ بِالاسْتِقَامَةِ.

Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

وَأَمَّا الأَقْوَالُ الْبَاطِلَةُ الدَّنِسَةُ فَاجْتَنِبْهَا، لأَنَّهُمْ يَتَقَدَّمُونَ إِلَى أَكْثَرِ فُجُورٍ،

But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.

وَكَلِمَتُهُمْ تَرْعَى كَآكِلَةٍ. الَّذِينَ مِنْهُمْ هِيمِينَايُسُ وَفِيلِيتُسُ،

And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;

اللَّذَانِ زَاغَا عَنِ الْحَقِّ، قَائِلَيْنِ: «إِنَّ الْقِيَامَةَ قَدْ صَارَتْ» فَيَقْلِبَانِ إِيمَانَ قَوْمٍ.

Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.

وَلكِنَّ أَسَاسَ اللهِ الرَّاسِخَ قَدْ ثَبَتَ، إِذْ لَهُ هذَا الْخَتْمُ: «يَعْلَمُ الرَّبُّ الَّذِينَ هُمْ لَهُ». وَ«لْيَتَجَنَّبِ الإِثْمَ كُلُّ مَنْ يُسَمِّي اسْمَ الْمَسِيحِ».

Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

وَلكِنْ فِي بَيْتٍ كَبِيرٍ لَيْسَ آنِيَةٌ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ وَفِضَّةٍ فَقَطْ، بَلْ مِنْ خَشَبٍ وَخَزَفٍ أَيْضًا، وَتِلْكَ لِلْكَرَامَةِ وَهذِهِ لِلْهَوَانِ.

But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.

فَإِنْ طَهَّرَ أَحَدٌ نَفْسَهُ مِنْ هذِهِ، يَكُونُ إِنَاءً لِلْكَرَامَةِ، مُقَدَّسًا، نَافِعًا لِلسَّيِّدِ، مُسْتَعَدًّا لِكُلِّ عَمَل صَالِحٍ.

If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.

أَمَّا الشَّهَوَاتُ الشَّبَابِيَّةُ فَاهْرُبْ مِنْهَا، وَاتْبَعِ الْبِرَّ وَالإِيمَانَ وَالْمَحَبَّةَ وَالسَّلاَمَ مَعَ الَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ الرَّبَّ مِنْ قَلْبٍ نَقِيٍّ.

Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

وَالْمُبَاحَثَاتُ الْغَبِيَّةُ وَالسَّخِيفَةُ اجْتَنِبْهَا، عَالِمًا أَنَّهَا تُوَلِّدُ خُصُومَاتٍ،

But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.

وَعَبْدُ الرَّبِّ لاَ يَجِبُ أَنْ يُخَاصِمَ، بَلْ يَكُونُ مُتَرَفِّقًا بِالْجَمِيعِ، صَالِحًا لِلتَّعْلِيمِ، صَبُورًا عَلَى الْمَشَقَّاتِ،

And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,

مُؤَدِّبًا بِالْوَدَاعَةِ الْمُقَاوِمِينَ، عَسَى أَنْ يُعْطِيَهُمُ اللهُ تَوْبَةً لِمَعْرِفَةِ الْحَقِّ،

In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;

فَيَسْتَفِيقُوا مِنْ فَخِّ إِبْلِيسَ إِذْ قَدِ اقْتَنَصَهُمْ لإِرَادَتِهِ.

And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.
