1Paul, apostle of Jesus Christ by God's will, according to promise of life, the [life] which [is] in Christ Jesus,
1ܦܘܠܘܤ ܫܠܝܚܐ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܒܨܒܝܢܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܒܡܘܠܟܢܐ ܕܚܝܐ ܕܒܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܀
2to Timotheus, [my] beloved child: grace, mercy, peace, from God [the] Father, and Christ Jesus our Lord.
2ܠܛܝܡܬܐܘܤ ܒܪܐ ܚܒܝܒܐ ܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܘܪܚܡܐ ܘܫܠܡܐ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܒܐ ܘܡܢ ܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܀
3I am thankful to God, whom I serve from [my] forefathers with pure conscience, how unceasingly I have the remembrance of thee in my supplications night and day,
3ܡܘܕܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܗܘ ܕܠܗ ܡܫܡܫ ܐܢܐ ܡܢ ܐܒܗܬܝ ܒܬܐܪܬܐ ܕܟܝܬܐ ܕܐܡܝܢܐܝܬ ܡܬܕܟܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟ ܒܨܠܘܬܝ ܕܠܠܝܐ ܘܕܐܝܡܡܐ ܀
4earnestly desiring to see thee, remembering thy tears, that I may be filled with joy;
4ܘܤܘܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܡܚܙܝܟ ܘܡܬܕܟܪ ܐܢܐ ܕܡܥܝܟ ܕܐܬܡܠܐ ܚܕܘܬܐ ܀
5calling to mind the unfeigned faith which [has been] in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and in thy mother Eunice, and I am persuaded that in thee also.
5ܒܥܘܗܕܢܐ ܕܗܘܐ ܠܝ ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܟ ܫܪܝܪܬܐ ܗܝ ܕܫܪܬ ܠܘܩܕܡ ܒܐܡܐ ܕܐܡܟ ܠܘܐܝܤ ܘܒܐܡܟ ܐܘܢܝܩܐ ܡܦܤ ܐܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܐܦ ܒܟ ܀
6For which cause I put thee in mind to rekindle the gift of God which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.
6ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܡܥܗܕ ܐܢܐ ܠܟ ܕܬܥܝܪ ܡܘܗܒܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܗܝ ܕܐܝܬ ܒܟ ܒܤܝܡ ܐܝܕܝ ܀
7For God has not given us a spirit of cowardice, but of power, and of love, and of wise discretion.
7ܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܝܗܒ ܠܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܪܘܚܐ ܕܕܚܠܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܕܚܝܠܐ ܘܕܚܘܒܐ ܘܕܡܪܬܝܢܘܬܐ ܀
8Be not therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner; but suffer evil along with the glad tidings, according to the power of God;
8ܠܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܬܒܗܬ ܒܤܗܕܘܬܗ ܕܡܪܢ ܐܦܠܐ ܒܝ ܒܐܤܝܪܗ ܐܠܐ ܫܩܘܠ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܥܡ ܐܘܢܓܠܝܘܢ ܒܚܝܠܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀
9who has saved us, and has called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to [his] own purpose and grace, which [was] given to us in Christ Jesus before [the] ages of time,
9ܗܘ ܕܐܚܝܢ ܘܩܪܢ ܒܩܪܝܢܐ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܠܘ ܐܝܟ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܐܠܐ ܐܝܟ ܨܒܝܢܗ ܘܛܝܒܘܬܗ ܗܝ ܕܐܬܝܗܒܬ ܠܢ ܒܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܙܒܢܐ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܀
10but has been made manifest now by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who has annulled death, and brought to light life and incorruptibility by the glad tidings;
10ܘܐܬܓܠܝܬ ܗܫܐ ܒܓܠܝܢܗ ܕܡܚܝܢܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܕܒܛܠ ܠܡܘܬܐ ܘܚܘܝ ܚܝܐ ܘܠܐ ܡܬܚܒܠܢܘܬܐ ܒܐܘܢܓܠܝܘܢ ܀
11to which *I* have been appointed a herald and apostle and teacher of [the] nations.
11ܗܘ ܕܐܬܬܤܝܡܬ ܒܗ ܐܢܐ ܟܪܘܙܐ ܘܫܠܝܚܐ ܘܡܠܦܢܐ ܕܥܡܡܐ ܀
12For which cause also I suffer these things; but I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep for that day the deposit I have entrusted to him.
12ܡܛܠ ܗܕܐ ܡܤܝܒܪ ܐܢܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܘܠܐ ܒܗܬ ܐܢܐ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܒܡܢ ܗܝܡܢܬ ܘܡܦܤ ܐܢܐ ܕܡܛܝܐ ܒܐܝܕܘܗܝ ܓܘܥܠܢܝ ܠܡܛܪ ܠܝ ܠܝܘܡܐ ܗܘ ܀
13Have an outline of sound words, which [words] thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which [are] in Christ Jesus.
13ܢܗܘܝܢ ܠܟ ܚܘܪܐ ܡܠܐ ܚܠܝܡܬܐ ܕܫܡܥܬ ܡܢܝ ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܘܒܚܘܒܐ ܕܒܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܀
14Keep, by the Holy Spirit which dwells in us, the good deposit entrusted.
14ܓܘܥܠܢܐ ܛܒܐ ܛܪ ܒܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ ܗܝ ܕܥܡܪܬ ܒܢ ܀
15Thou knowest this, that all who [are] in Asia, of whom is Phygellus and Hermogenes, have turned away from me.
15ܝܕܥ ܐܢܬ ܗܕܐ ܕܗܦܟܘ ܡܢܝ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܒܐܤܝܐ ܕܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܦܘܓܠܘܤ ܘܗܪܡܓܢܘܤ ܀
16The Lord grant mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, for he has often refreshed me, and has not been ashamed of my chain;
16ܢܬܠ ܡܪܢ ܪܚܡܐ ܠܒܝܬܗ ܕܐܢܤܝܦܘܪܘܤ ܕܙܒܢܝܢ ܤܓܝܐܢ ܐܢܝܚܢܝ ܘܒܫܫܠܬܐ ܕܐܤܘܪܝ ܠܐ ܒܗܬ ܀
17but being in Rome sought me out very diligently, and found [me] --
17ܐܠܐ ܐܦ ܟܕ ܐܬܐ ܠܪܗܘܡܝ ܒܚܦܝܛܘܬܐ ܒܥܢܝ ܘܐܫܟܚܢܝ ܀
18the Lord grant to him to find mercy from [the] Lord in that day -- and how much service he rendered in Ephesus *thou* knowest best.
18ܢܬܠ ܠܗ ܡܪܢ ܕܢܫܟܚ ܪܚܡܐ ܠܘܬ ܡܪܢ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܗܘ ܘܟܡܐ ܕܫܡܫܢܝ ܒܐܦܤܘܤ ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܬ ܀
