1Thou therefore, my child, be strong in the grace which [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 thou hast heard of me in the presence of many witnesses, these entrust to faithful men, such as shall be competent to instruct others also.
2Ary izay zavatra efa renao tamiko teo anatrehan'ny vavolombelona maro dia atolory ny olona mahatoky, izay hahay mampianatra ny sasany kosa.
3Take thy share in suffering as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
3Miaraha miaritra ny mafy amiko ianao tahaka ny miaramila tsaran'i Kristy Jesosy.
4No one going as a soldier entangles himself with the affairs of life, that he may please him who has enlisted him as 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 also any one contend [in the games], he is not crowned unless he contend lawfully.
5Ary raha misy manezaka amin'ny filalaovana, dia tsy satrohana satro-boninahitra izy, raha tsy manezaka araka ny lalàna.
6The husbandman must labour before partaking of the fruits.
6Ny mpiasa tany izay misasatra no tokony ho voalohany handray ny vokatra.
7Think of what I say, for the Lord will give thee understanding in all things.
7Diniho izay lazaiko, fa homen'ny Tompo fahazavan-tsaina ny amin'ny zavatra rehetra ianao.
8Remember Jesus Christ raised from among [the] dead, of [the] seed of David, according to my glad tidings,
8Tsarovy Jesosy Kristy Izay natsangana tamin'ny maty, dia Ilay avy tamin'ny taranak'i Davida, araka ny filazantsarako,
9in which I suffer even unto bonds as an evil-doer: 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.
10For this cause I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that *they* also may 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.
11The word [is] faithful; for if we have died together with [him], we shall also live together;
11Mahatoky izao teny izao: Fa raha miara-maty aminy isika, dia hiara-belona aminy koa;
12if we endure, we shall also reign together; if we deny, *he* also will deny us;
12raha miaritra isika, dia hiara-manjaka aminy; raha mandà Azy isika, Izy kosa handà antsika;
13if we are unfaithful, *he* abides faithful, for 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 in remembrance, testifying earnestly before the Lord not to have disputes of words, profitable for nothing, to the subversion 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,
15Strive diligently to present thyself approved to God, a workman that has not to be ashamed, cutting in a straight line 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 profane, vain babblings shun, for they will advance to greater impiety,
16Fa halaviro ny fibedibedena foana; fa mbola handroso amin'ny haratsiam-panahy ihany izy ireny,
17and their word will spread as a gangrene; of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;
17ary ny teniny dia handany tahaka ny aretina mihady; isan ireny Hymeneo sy Fileto, [ Gr. gangrena]
18[men] who as to the truth have gone astray, saying that the resurrection has taken place 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.
19Yet the firm foundation of God stands, having this seal, [The] Lord knows those that are his; and, Let every one who names the name of [the] Lord withdraw 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 gold and silver vessels, but also wooden and earthen; 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 therefore one shall have purified himself from these, [in separating himself from them], he shall be a vessel to honour, sanctified, serviceable to the Master, prepared for 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.
22But youthful lusts flee, and pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace, with those that call upon 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 senseless questionings avoid, knowing that they beget contentions.
23Fa mandava ny fanontaniana adaladala tsy misy antony, satria fantatrao fa mahatonga ady izany.
24And a bondman of [the] Lord ought not to contend, but be gentle towards all; apt to teach; forbearing;
24Ary tsy mety raha miady ny mpanompon'ny Tompo, fa ho malemy fanahy amin'ny olona rehetra, mahay mampianatra, mahalefitra,
25in meekness setting right those who oppose, if God perhaps may sometime give them repentance to acknowledgment 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 awake up out of the snare of the devil, [who are] taken by him, for *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]
