1A k-n-ssutreɣ ɣef wudem n Ṛebbi d Ɛisa Lmasiḥ ara iḥasben wid yeddren d wid yemmuten, i lmend n wass n tuɣalin-is ț-țgeldit-is.
1I testify before God and Christ Jesus, who is about to judge living and dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom,
2Becceṛ awal n Sidi Ṛebbi ama di teswiɛt yelhan ama di teswiɛt iweɛṛen, ssefhem, lumm, enhu, sselmed s ṣṣbeṛ d leɛqel.
2proclaim the word; be urgent in season [and] out of season, convict, rebuke, encourage, with all longsuffering and doctrine.
3Axaṭer a d-yaweḍ lweqt anda kra n yemdanen ur zemmren ara ad slen i uselmed n tideț, lameɛna ad tebɛen lebɣi n tnefsit-nsen, a d-sbedden lecyux ara sen-d-ihedṛen ayen kan i sen-iɛeǧben ;
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;
4ad sɛuẓẓgen iman nsen ɣef tideț, ad rren ddehn-nsen ɣer tmucuha.
4and they will turn away their ear from the truth, and will have turned aside to fables.
5Ma d kečč ḥekkem deg iman-ik di kullec, ṣṣbeṛ i cedda d leɛtab, becceṛ lexbaṛ n lxiṛ , txedmeḍ lwaǧeb-ik n uqeddac n Sidi Ṛebbi akken ilaq.
5But *thou*, be sober in all things, bear evils, do [the] work of an evangelist, fill up the full measure of thy ministry.
6Ma d nekk yewweḍ-ed lweqt i deg ilaq ad sebbleɣ iman-iw, yewweḍ-ed lweqt i deg ara ṛuḥeɣ.
6For *I* am already being poured out, and the time of my release is come.
7Kfiɣ ccɣel-iw yerna ṭṭfeɣ di liman ar tura, nnuɣeɣ imenɣi n tideț armi ț-țaggara.
7I have combated the good combat, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
8Tura yețṛaǧu-yi lḥeqq n lxedma-w ara yi-d-yefk Bab n lḥeqq deg ass n lḥisab, yerna mačči i nekk kan, lameɛna i wid meṛṛa i t-iḥemmlen yețṛaǧun ass n tuɣalin-is.
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.
9Exdem lmeǧhud-ik iwakken ur tețɛeṭṭileḍ ara a d-taseḍ ɣuṛ-i.
9Use diligence to come to me quickly;
10Gma-tneɣ Dimas yeǧǧa-yi, yewwi-t zzhu n ddunit, iṛuḥ ɣer temdint n Tisalunik. Gma-tneɣ Krisis iṛuḥ ɣer tmurt n Galasya, ma d gma-tneɣ Tit iṛuḥ ɣer tmurt n Dalmasya.
10for Demas has forsaken me, having loved the present age, and is gone to Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia.
11Anagar gma-tneɣ Luqa i geqqimen yid-i. Awi-d yid-ek gma tneɣ Maṛqus iwakken ad iyi-iɛawen di lxedma-w.
11Luke alone is with me. Take Mark, and bring [him] with thyself, for he is serviceable to me for ministry.
12Ma d gma-tneɣ Ticik atan ceggɛeɣ-t ɣer temdint n Ifasus.
12But Tychicus I have sent to Ephesus.
13M'ara d-taseḍ, awi-d yid-ek abeṛnus-nni i ǧǧiɣ deg wexxam n Karbus di temdint n Truwas, awi-d yid-ek daɣen idlisen, abeɛda wid yețwaxedmen s weglim.
13The cloak which I left behind [me] in Troas at Carpus's, bring when thou comest, and the books, especially the parchments.
14Alixandru aḥeddad iḍuṛṛ-iyi, ixdem-iyi aṭas n cceṛ meɛna ayen yexdem a t-yaf ɣer Sidi Ṛebbi.
14Alexander the smith did many evil things against me. The Lord will render to him according to his works.
15Ula d kečč ḥader iman-ik seg-s, axaṭer yețxaṣam-aɣ-d daymen deg wayen i nețbecciṛ.
15Against whom be *thou* also on thy guard, for he has greatly withstood our words.
16Ass amezwaru i deg d-beddeɣ ɣer ccṛeɛ ur ufiɣ ula d yiwen ɣer tama-w, ǧǧan-iyi akk ; lameɛna a wer ten-iḥaseb Ṛebbi ɣef wayagi !
16At my first defence no man stood with me, but all deserted me. May it not be imputed to them.
17D Sidi Ṛebbi i yi-iɛawnen, i yi-isǧehden, iwakken lexbaṛ n lxiṛ ad ițțubecceṛ s lekmal-is i leǧnas nniḍen meṛṛa yerna isellek-iyi-d seg imi n yizmawen.
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.
18Sidi Ṛebbi mazal a yi-iḥader ɣef wayen akk n diri yerna ad iyi-isellek iwakken ad kecmeɣ tagelda-ines yellan deg igenwan. I nețța tamanegt si lǧil ɣer lǧil ! Amin !
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.
19Sellem ɣef Briska d Akilas akk-d țwacult n Unisifur.
19Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the house of Onesiphorus.
20Gma-tneɣ Irast yeqqim di temdint n Kurintus, ma d Trufim ǧǧiɣ-t di temdint n Milet mazal-it yehlek.
20Erastus remained in Corinth, but Trophimus I left behind in Miletus sick.
21Exdem lmeǧhud-ik iwakken a d taseḍ uqbel ccetwa. Bulus, Buden, Linus, Kludya d watmaten akk nniḍen țsellimen-d fell-ak.
21Use diligence to come before winter. Eubulus salutes thee, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and the brethren all.
22Sidi Ṛebbi ad yili yid-ek ! Ṛṛeḥma-s a d-ters fell-awen ! Amin.
22The Lord Jesus Christ [be] with your spirit. Grace [be] with you.
