1Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
1[Famporisihana an'Timoty haharitra tsara, na dia azom-pahoriana aza] Koa ianao, anaka, dia aoka hihahery amin'ny fahasoavana izay ao amin'i Kristy Jesosy.
2And 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.
2Ary izay zavatra efa renao tamiko teo anatrehan'ny vavolombelona maro dia atolory ny olona mahatoky, izay hahay mampianatra ny sasany kosa.
3Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
3Miaraha miaritra ny mafy amiko ianao tahaka ny miaramila tsaran'i Kristy Jesosy.
4No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.
4Ny miaramila manafika dia tsy mba misy maningo-tena amin'ny raharahan'izao fiainana izao. mba hahafaly izay efa nifidy azy ho miaramila.
5And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.
5Ary raha misy manezaka amin'ny filalaovana, dia tsy satrohana satro-boninahitra izy, raha tsy manezaka araka ny lalàna.
6The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits.
6Ny mpiasa tany izay misasatra no tokony ho voalohany handray ny vokatra.
7Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.
7Diniho izay lazaiko, fa homen'ny Tompo fahazavan-tsaina ny amin'ny zavatra rehetra ianao.
8Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel:
8Tsarovy Jesosy Kristy Izay natsangana tamin'ny maty, dia Ilay avy tamin'ny taranak'i Davida, araka ny filazantsarako,
9Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound.
9izay iaretako fahoriana hatramin'ny fatorana aza, hoatra ny mpanao ratsy; nefa ny tenin'Andriamanitra dia tsy mba voafatotra.
10Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
10Izany no iaretako ny zavatra rehetra noho ny amin'ny olom-boafidy, mba hahazoan'ireny koa famonjena. dia izay ao amin'i Kristy Jesosy. mbamin'ny voninahitra mandrakizay.
11It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him:
11Mahatoky izao teny izao: Fa raha miara-maty aminy isika, dia hiara-belona aminy koa;
12If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:
12raha miaritra isika, dia hiara-manjaka aminy; raha mandà Azy isika, Izy kosa handà antsika;
13If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.
13fa na dia tsy matoky Azy aza isika, dia mbola mahatoky ihany Izy, fa tsy mahazo mandà ny tenany.
14Of 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.
14[Ny mety hataon'i Timoty noho ny fisian'ny mpampianatra sandoka] Izany zavatra izany no ampahatsiarovy ny olona, ka anaro mafy eo anatrehan'ny Tompo izy mba tsy hiady teny, satria tsy mahasoa akory izany, fa mamadika ny mpihaino,
15Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
15Mazotoa manolotra ny tenanao amin'Andriamanitra ho olona voazaha toetra, dia mpiasa tsy mahazo henatra, mizara tsara ny teny fahamarinana. [ Na: mamoaka tsara; na: mizotra mahitsy amin']
16But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
16Fa halaviro ny fibedibedena foana; fa mbola handroso amin'ny haratsiam-panahy ihany izy ireny,
17And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;
17ary ny teniny dia handany tahaka ny aretina mihady; isan ireny Hymeneo sy Fileto, [ Gr. gangrena]
18Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.
18izay nania tamin'ny marina ka milaza fa efa lasa sahady ny fitsanganan'ny maty, dia mamadika ny finoan'ny sasany.
19Nevertheless 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.
19Kanefa ny fanorenana mafy nataon'Andriamanitra dia miorina tsara sady manana izao tombo-kase izao: "Ny Tompo mahalala ny azy", ary koa: "Aoka ny olona rehetra izay manonona ny anaran'ny Tompo hiala amin'ny ratsy."
20But 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.
20Fa ao an-trano lehibe, tsy dia fanaka volamena sy volafotsy ihany no ao, fa fanaka hazo sy tany koa, ny sasany homem-boninahitra, ary ny sasany halam-baraka.
21If 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.
21Koa raha misy olona manadio ny tenany ho afaka amin'ireny, dia ho fanaka homem-boninahitra izy, efa nohamasinina ka mahasoa ho an'ny Tompo, voavoatra ho amin'ny asa tsara rehetra.
22Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
22Fa mandosira ny filan'ny tanora fanahy; ary miezaha mitady fahamarinana, finoana, fitiavana, fihavanana amin'izay miantso ny Tompo amin'ny fo madio.
23But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.
23Fa mandava ny fanontaniana adaladala tsy misy antony, satria fantatrao fa mahatonga ady izany.
24And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,
24Ary tsy mety raha miady ny mpanompon'ny Tompo, fa ho malemy fanahy amin'ny olona rehetra, mahay mampianatra, mahalefitra,
25In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
25mananatra ny mpanohitra amin'ny fahamoram-panahy; fa angamba Andriamanitra hanome azy fibebahana hahalalany tsara ny marina,ka hody ny sainy ho afaka amin'ny fandriky ny devoly, izay nanao azy sambo-belona hanao ny sitrapony. [ Na: ka hody ny sainy - ho afaka amin'ny fandriky ny devoly, izay nanao azy sambo-belona - hanao ny sitrapon'Andriamanitra; na: fa ataon'ny mpanompon'ny Tompo sambo-belona izay hanao ny sitrapon'Andriamanitra]
26And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.
26ka hody ny sainy ho afaka amin'ny fandriky ny devoly, izay nanao azy sambo-belona hanao ny sitrapony. [ Na: ka hody ny sainy - ho afaka amin'ny fandriky ny devoly, izay nanao azy sambo-belona - hanao ny sitrapon'Andriamanitra; na: fa ataon'ny mpanompon'ny Tompo sambo-belona izay hanao ny sitrapon'Andriamanitra]
