¹Thou, therefore, my child, be strong in the grace that [is] in Christ Jesus,

¹Haddaba, wiilkaygiiyow, ku xoogayso nimcada Ciise Masiix ku jirta.

²and the things that thou didst hear from me through many witnesses, these things be committing to stedfast men, who shall be sufficient also others to teach;

²Oo waxyaalihii aad markhaatiyaal badan dhexdood igaga maqashay ku ammaanee niman aamin ah oo awooda inay kuwa kaleeto baraan.

³thou, therefore, suffer evil as a good soldier of Jesus Christ;

³Dhibaato ka qayb qaado sida askari wanaagsan oo Ciise Masiix.

⁴no one serving as a soldier did entangle himself with the affairs of life, that him who did enlist him he may please;

⁴Nin askari ahi, si uu uga farxiyo kii isaga askari ahaanta u qortay, iskuma murgiyo axwaasha noloshan,

⁵and if also any one may strive, he is not crowned, except he may strive lawfully;

⁵weliba haddii nin galo cayaaraha loo loollamo, taaj looma saaro hadduusan sida qaynuunka ah u loollamin.

⁶the labouring husbandman it behoveth first of the fruits to partake;

⁶Ninka beerta leh ee hawshoodaa waa inuu ahaadaa kan ugu horreeya oo midhaha ka qayb qaata.

⁷be considering what things I say, for the Lord give to thee understanding in all things.

⁷Waxaan leeyahay ka fiirso, waayo, Rabbigu wuxuu ku siin doonaa wax walba garashadooda.

⁸Remember Jesus Christ, raised out of the dead, of the seed of David, according to my good news,

⁸Bal xusuuso Ciise Masiix, kan kuwii dhintay ka soo sara kacay, oo Daa'uud ka soo farcamay, sida uu leeyahay injiilka aan idinku wacdiyo,

⁹in which I suffer evil -- unto bonds, as an evil-doer, but the word of God hath not been bound;

⁹kan aan u dhibtoodo oo aan u xidhnahay sidii mid wax xun falay; laakiinse erayga Ilaah ma xidhna.

¹⁰because of this all things do I endure, because of the choice ones, that they also salvation may obtain that [is] in Christ Jesus, with glory age-during.

¹⁰Haddaba wax walba waxaan ugu adkaystaa kuwa la doortay aawadood inay iyana helaan badbaadada ammaanta weligeeda leh oo ku jirta Ciise Masiix.

¹¹Stedfast [is] the word: For if we died together -- we also shall live together;

¹¹Hadalkanu waa dhab, Haddii aynu isaga la dhimannay, dee haddana waynu la noolaan doonnaa,

¹²if we do endure together -- we shall also reign together; if we deny [him], he also shall deny us;

¹²haddii aynu adkaysanno, dee haddana wax baynu la xukumi doonnaa; haddii aynu isaga inkirnona, dee isna wuu ina diidi doonaa;

¹³if we are not stedfast, he remaineth stedfast; to deny himself he is not able.

¹³haddii aynu nahay aaminlaawayaal, isagu weli waa aamin; waayo, isagu isma burin karo.

¹⁴These things remind [them] of, testifying fully before the Lord -- not to strive about words to nothing profitable, but to the subversion of those hearing;

¹⁴Waxyaalahan iyaga xusuusi oo Rabbiga hortiisa ku amar inayan hadal ku murmin, waayo, kaasu faa'iido ma leh, laakiinse kuwa maqla ayuu sii kharribaa.

¹⁵be diligent to present thyself approved to God -- a workman irreproachable, rightly dividing the word of the truth;

¹⁵Ku dadaal inaad nafsaddaada loo bogay Ilaah siisid, adigoo ah shaqeeye aan dadka ka xishoonin, oo hadalka runta ah si hagaagsan u wada.

¹⁶and the profane vain talkings stand aloof from, for to more impiety they will advance,

¹⁶Laakiinse ka fogow hadalka aan micnaha lahayn, oo nijaasta ah, waayo, kuwaas waxay hore u sii wadi doonaan cibaadola'aanta,

¹⁷and their word as a gangrene will have pasture, of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus,

¹⁷oo hadalkoodu sida waraabowgu u faafo ayuu u sii faafi doonaa; iyaga waxaa ka mid ah Humenayos iyo Fileetos,

¹⁸who concerning the truth did swerve, saying the rising again to have already been, and do overthrow the faith of some;

¹⁸oo ah kuwa xagga runta ka gefay iyagoo leh, Sarakicidda waa horaa la soo dhaafay, oo qaar bay iimaanka ka halleeyaan.

¹⁹sure, nevertheless, hath the foundation of God stood, having this seal, `The Lord hath known those who are His,' and `Let him depart from unrighteousness -- every one who is naming the name of Christ.'

¹⁹Habase yeeshee aasaaskii adkaa oo Ilaah dhigay wuu taagan yahay, isagoo leh sumaddan, Rabbigu wuu yaqaan kuwiisa; oo mid kasta oo magaca Rabbiga soo qaada xaqnimola'aanta ha ka tago.

²⁰And 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:

²⁰Haddaba kuma jiraan guri weyn weelal dahab iyo lacag keliya ahi, laakiinse waxaa kaloo yaal kuwo qoryo iyo dhoobo ah; oo qaarkoodna wax sharaf leh ayay taraan, qaarna wax aan sharaf lahayn.

²¹if, then, any one may cleanse himself from these, he shall be a vessel to honour, sanctified and profitable to the master -- to every good work having been prepared,

²¹Sidaas daraaddeed haddii nin iska daahirsho kuwan, kaasu wuxuu ahaan doonaa weel sharaf leh, oo quduus laga dhigay, oo sayidka wax u tara, oo shuqul kasta oo wanaagsan loo diyaariyey.

²²and the youthful lusts flee thou, and pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace, with those calling upon the Lord out of a pure heart;

²²Haddaba ka fogow damacyada xunxun ee dhallinyaronimada, laakiinse xaqnimo, iyo rumaysad, iyo jacayl, iyo nabad la raac kuwa Rabbiga uga yeedha qalbi daahir ah.

²³and the foolish and uninstructed questions be avoiding, having known that they beget strife,

²³Iska diid su'aalaha nacasnimada iyo jaahilnimada ah, adigoo og inay dagaallo dhalaan.

²⁴and a servant of the Lord it behoveth not to strive, but to be gentle unto all, apt to teach, patient under evil,

²⁴Addoonka Rabbigu waa inuusan ilaaqtamin, laakiin waa inuu ahaado mid dadka u wada roon, oo waxbaridda ku wanaagsan, oo dulqaadasho badan,

²⁵in meekness instructing those opposing -- if perhaps God may give to them repentance to an acknowledging of the truth,

²⁵oo si qabow u edbiya kuwa isaga diida; mindhaa Ilaah waa siin doonaa toobadkeenid inay runtay gartaan,oo ay dabinka Ibliiska ka baxsadaan, iyagoo lagu qabtay si ay muraadkiisa u yeelaan.

²⁶and they may awake out of the devil's snare, having been caught by him at his will.

²⁶oo ay dabinka Ibliiska ka baxsadaan, iyagoo lagu qabtay si ay muraadkiisa u yeelaan.
