1I testify before God and Christ Jesus, who is about to judge living and dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom,
1ܡܤܗܕ ܐܢܐ ܠܟ ܩܕܡ ܐܠܗܐ ܘܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܗܘ ܕܥܬܝܕ ܠܡܕܢ ܚܝܐ ܘܡܝܬܐ ܒܓܠܝܢܐ ܕܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܀
2proclaim the word; be urgent in season [and] out of season, convict, rebuke, encourage, with all longsuffering and doctrine.
2ܐܟܪܙ ܡܠܬܐ ܘܩܘܡ ܒܚܦܝܛܘܬܐ ܒܙܒܢܐ ܘܕܠܐ ܙܒܢܐ ܐܟܤ ܘܟܘܢ ܒܟܠܗ ܡܓܪܬ ܪܘܚܐ ܘܝܘܠܦܢܐ ܀
3For the time shall be when they will not bear sound teaching; but according to their own lusts will heap up to themselves teachers, having an itching ear;
3ܢܗܘܐ ܓܝܪ ܙܒܢܐ ܕܠܝܘܠܦܢܐ ܚܠܝܡܐ ܠܐ ܢܫܬܡܥܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܐܝܟ ܪܓܝܓܬܗܘܢ ܢܤܓܘܢ ܠܢܦܫܗܘܢ ܡܠܦܢܐ ܒܚܘܬܚܬܐ ܕܡܫܡܥܬܗܘܢ ܀
4and they will turn away their ear from the truth, and will have turned aside to fables.
4ܘܡܢ ܫܪܪܐ ܢܗܦܟܘܢ ܐܕܢܗܘܢ ܠܫܘܥܝܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܢܤܛܘܢ ܀
5But *thou*, be sober in all things, bear evils, do [the] work of an evangelist, fill up the full measure of thy ministry.
5ܐܢܬ ܕܝܢ ܗܘܝܬ ܥܝܪ ܒܟܠܡܕܡ ܘܤܝܒܪ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܘܥܒܕܐ ܥܒܕ ܕܡܤܒܪܢܐ ܘܬܫܡܫܬܟ ܫܠܡ ܀
6For *I* am already being poured out, and the time of my release is come.
6ܐܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܡܟܝܠ ܡܬܢܩܐ ܐܢܐ ܘܙܒܢܐ ܕܐܫܬܪܐ ܡܛܐ ܀
7I have combated the good combat, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
7ܐܓܘܢܐ ܫܦܝܪܐ ܐܬܟܬܫܬ ܘܪܗܛܝ ܫܠܡܬ ܘܗܝܡܢܘܬܝ ܢܛܪܬ ܀
8Henceforth the crown of righteousness is laid up for me, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will render to me in that day; but not only to me, but also to all who love his appearing.
8ܘܡܢ ܗܫܐ ܢܛܝܪ ܠܝ ܟܠܝܠܐ ܕܟܐܢܘܬܐ ܕܢܦܪܥܝܘܗܝ ܠܝ ܡܪܝ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܗܘ ܕܗܘܝܘ ܕܝܢܐ ܟܐܢܐ ܠܐ ܕܝܢ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܠܝ ܐܠܐ ܐܦ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܚܒܘ ܠܓܠܝܢܗ ܀
9Use diligence to come to me quickly;
9ܢܬܒܛܠ ܠܟ ܕܬܐܬܐ ܠܘܬܝ ܒܥܓܠ ܀
10for Demas has forsaken me, having loved the present age, and is gone to Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia.
10ܕܡܐ ܓܝܪ ܫܒܩܢܝ ܘܐܚܒ ܥܠܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܘܐܙܠ ܠܗ ܠܬܤܠܘܢܝܩܐ ܩܪܤܩܘܤ ܠܓܠܛܝܐ ܛܛܘܤ ܠܕܠܡܛܝܐ ܀
11Luke alone is with me. Take Mark, and bring [him] with thyself, for he is serviceable to me for ministry.
11ܠܘܩܐ ܗܘ ܒܠܚܘܕܘܗܝ ܥܡܝ ܠܡܪܩܘܤ ܕܒܪ ܘܐܝܬܝܗܝ ܥܡܟ ܥܗܢ ܠܝ ܓܝܪ ܠܬܫܡܫܬܐ ܀
12But Tychicus I have sent to Ephesus.
12ܠܛܘܟܝܩܘܤ ܕܝܢ ܫܕܪܬ ܠܐܦܤܘܤ ܀
13The cloak which I left behind [me] in Troas at Carpus's, bring when thou comest, and the books, especially the parchments.
13ܒܝܬ ܟܬܒܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܫܒܩܬ ܒܛܪܘܐܘܤ ܠܘܬ ܩܪܦܘܤ ܡܐ ܕܐܬܐ ܐܢܬ ܐܝܬܝܗܝ ܘܟܬܒܐ ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܟܪܟܐ ܕܡܓܠܐ ܀
14Alexander the smith did many evil things against me. The Lord will render to him according to his works.
14ܐܠܟܤܢܕܪܤ ܩܝܢܝܐ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܤܓܝܐܬܐ ܚܘܝܢܝ ܦܪܥ ܠܗ ܡܪܢ ܐܝܟ ܥܒܕܘܗܝ ܀
15Against whom be *thou* also on thy guard, for he has greatly withstood our words.
15ܐܦ ܐܢܬ ܕܝܢ ܐܙܕܗܪ ܡܢܗ ܛܒ ܓܝܪ ܙܩܝܦ ܠܘܩܒܠ ܡܠܝܢ ܀
16At my first defence no man stood with me, but all deserted me. May it not be imputed to them.
16ܒܡܦܩ ܒܪܘܚܝ ܩܕܡܝܐ ܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܗܘܐ ܥܡܝ ܐܠܐ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܫܒܩܘܢܝ ܠܐ ܬܬܚܫܒ ܠܗܘܢ ܗܕܐ ܀
17But the Lord stood with [me], and gave me power, that through me the proclamation might be fully made, and all [those of] the nations should hear; and I was delivered out of the lion's mouth.
17ܡܪܝ ܕܝܢ ܩܡ ܠܝ ܘܚܝܠܢܝ ܕܒܝ ܟܪܘܙܘܬܐ ܬܫܬܠܡ ܘܢܫܡܥܘܢ ܥܡܡܐ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܕܐܬܦܨܝܬ ܡܢ ܦܘܡܐ ܕܐܪܝܐ ܀
18The Lord shall deliver me from every wicked work, and shall preserve [me] for his heavenly kingdom; to whom [be] glory for the ages of ages. Amen.
18ܘܢܦܨܝܢܝ ܡܪܝ ܡܢ ܟܠ ܥܒܕ ܒܝܫ ܘܢܚܝܢܝ ܒܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܕܒܫܡܝܐ ܕܠܗ ܫܘܒܚܐ ܠܥܠܡ ܥܠܡܝܢ ܐܡܝܢ ܀
19Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the house of Onesiphorus.
19ܗܒ ܫܠܡܐ ܠܦܪܝܤܩܠܐ ܘܠܐܩܠܘܤ ܘܠܒܝܬܐ ܕܐܢܤܝܦܘܪܘܤ ܀
20Erastus remained in Corinth, but Trophimus I left behind in Miletus sick.
20ܐܪܤܛܘܤ ܦܫ ܠܗ ܒܩܘܪܢܬܘܤ ܛܪܘܦܝܡܘܤ ܕܝܢ ܫܒܩܬܗ ܟܕ ܟܪܝܗ ܒܡܝܠܝܛܘܤ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܀
21Use diligence to come before winter. Eubulus salutes thee, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and the brethren all.
21ܢܬܒܛܠ ܠܟ ܕܩܕܡ ܤܬܘܐ ܬܐܬܐ ܫܐܠ ܒܫܠܡܟ ܐܘܒܘܠܘܤ ܘܦܘܕܤ ܘܠܝܢܘܤ ܘܩܠܘܕܝܐ ܘܐܚܐ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܀
22The Lord Jesus Christ [be] with your spirit. Grace [be] with you.
22ܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܥܡ ܪܘܚܟ ܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܥܡܟ ܐܡܝܢ ܀
