¹But this know, that in [the] last days difficult times shall be there;

¹Zhanes tu mishto, ke mai anglal sar te avel O Kristo avela trutno vriama.

²for men shall be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, evil speakers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, profane,

²Ke le manush rodena swako pengo mishtimos, avela lenge drago lenge, ai avela lenge drago le love, bariarenape, ai barimatange avena, ai dena duma nasul pa Del, ai chi mai pachana o mui penge niamongo, ai chi naisina anda kancheste, ai chi respektina le dieli kai si swunto,

³without natural affection, implacable, slanderers, of unsubdued passions, savage, having no love for what is good,

³nas le drago iek kavreske, ai bi milako, ai xoxavena sagda, ai kerena chingara, ai chi avela lenge drago o lashimos,

⁴traitors, headlong, of vain pretensions, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God;

⁴ai avena defial nasul ai mangen te maren ai dukhaven kodola manushen kai si lashe, ai avena nasul penge vortachensa, ai xoliavona sigo, ai avena bare barimatange, ai avela lenge drago mai but e lumia ke sar O Del.

⁵having a form of piety but denying the power of it: and from these turn away.

⁵Zhana ande khangeri numa chi pachanape so ashunena. Ashun, durion katar kasavendar manush.

⁶For of these are they who are getting into houses, and leading captive silly women, laden with sins, led by various lusts,

⁶Ai uni anda lende den andel khera, ai thon zor pel zhuvlia le kovlia le bezexalia kai si le andel ginduria dieli bi malade,

⁷always learning, and never able to come to [the] knowledge of [the] truth.

⁷zhuvlia kai roden sagda te sichon, numa kai shoxar chi aresle te zhanen o chachimos.

⁸Now in the same manner in which Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, thus these also withstand the truth; men corrupted in mind, found worthless as regards the faith.

⁸Sa sar o Jannes ai o Jambres kai chi lenaspe pala Moses. Sakadia kadala manush chi lenpe pala chachimos: won si manush kai lenge goji nai lashi, ai lengo pachamos chi mol kanchi.

⁹But they shall not advance farther; for their folly shall be completely manifest to all, as that of those also became.

⁹Numa chi zhana dur: ke sa e lumia dela po gor ke dzile le, sar kerdilia le Janneske ai le Jambreske.

¹⁰But *thou* hast been thoroughly acquainted with my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, endurance,

¹⁰Numa tu lian tu pala murho sicharimos, ai sar traiivas, ai so sas murhe ginduria, murho pachamos,ai murhi rhavda, murhi dragostia, ai sar inkeravas le Devlesa, ai zhanes murhe vutuimata, ai murhe chinuria.

¹¹persecutions, sufferings: what [sufferings] happened to me in Antioch, in Iconium, in Lystra; what persecutions I endured; and the Lord delivered me out of all.

¹¹Tu zhanes so godi kerdilia pe mansa ando Antioch, ando Iconium, ai ando Listra; ai savendar vutuimata sas ma! Numa O Kristo skepisardia ma anda swako fielo.

¹²And all indeed who desire to live piously in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.

¹²Ke kon godi mangel te traiil iek traio vorta le Devlesa ando Jesus Kristo avena chinuime.

¹³But wicked men and juggling impostors shall advance in evil, leading and being led astray.

¹³Numa le manush kai si nasul ai xoxamle zhana sagda mai dur ando nasulimos, ai rimona le kolavren, ai vi won rimonape.

¹⁴But *thou*, abide in those things which thou hast learned, and [of which] thou hast been fully persuaded, knowing of whom thou hast learned [them];

¹⁴Numa tu inker so sichilian ai so sas tu dino sa che ilesa. Tu zhanes katar savo gazda sichilian.

¹⁵and that from a child thou hast known the sacred letters, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation, through faith which [is] in Christ Jesus.

¹⁵Ke de sar sanas glata tu zhanes e Swunto Vorba le Devleski, kai sai del tu e goji kai ingerel ka skepimos katar o pachamos ando Jesus Kristo.

¹⁶Every scripture [is] divinely inspired, and profitable for teaching, for conviction, for correction, for instruction in righteousness;

¹⁶Sa e Swunto Vorba le Devleski avel katar O Del ai traiil pala leste ai trobul te sicharel o chachimos, te sikavel so nai vorta, ai te lasharel le dosha, ai e Vorba sikavel leske sar te traiil vorta,

¹⁷that the man of God may be complete, fully fitted to every good work.

¹⁷saxke o manush le Devlesko te avel vorta gata, ai te avel les swako fielo te kerel so godi si mishtimos.
