II Timothy 2

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

فَتَقَوَّ أَنْتَ يَا ابْنِي بِالنِّعْمَةِ الَّتِي فِي الْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ.

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.

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

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

فَاشْتَرِكْ أَنْتَ فِي احْتِمَالِ الْمَشَقَّاتِ كَجُنْدِيٍّ صَالِحٍ لِيَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

افْهَمْ مَا أَقُولُ. فَلْيُعْطِكَ الرَّبُّ فَهْمًا فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

وَكَلِمَتُهُمْ تَرْعَى كَآكِلَةٍ. الَّذِينَ مِنْهُمْ هِيمِينَايُسُ وَفِيلِيتُسُ،

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

وَالْمُبَاحَثَاتُ الْغَبِيَّةُ وَالسَّخِيفَةُ اجْتَنِبْهَا، عَالِمًا أَنَّهَا تُوَلِّدُ خُصُومَاتٍ،

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

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

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

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

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

فَيَسْتَفِيقُوا مِنْ فَخِّ إِبْلِيسَ إِذْ قَدِ اقْتَنَصَهُمْ لإِرَادَتِهِ.
