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.
1Thou, therefore, my child, be strong in the grace that [is] in Christ Jesus,
2Ary izay zavatra efa renao tamiko teo anatrehan'ny vavolombelona maro dia atolory ny olona mahatoky, izay hahay mampianatra ny sasany kosa.
2and the things that thou didst hear from me through many witnesses, these things be committing to stedfast men, who shall be sufficient also others to teach;
3Miaraha miaritra ny mafy amiko ianao tahaka ny miaramila tsaran'i Kristy Jesosy.
3thou, therefore, suffer evil as a good soldier of Jesus Christ;
4Ny miaramila manafika dia tsy mba misy maningo-tena amin'ny raharahan'izao fiainana izao. mba hahafaly izay efa nifidy azy ho miaramila.
4no one serving as a soldier did entangle himself with the affairs of life, that him who did enlist him he may please;
5Ary raha misy manezaka amin'ny filalaovana, dia tsy satrohana satro-boninahitra izy, raha tsy manezaka araka ny lalàna.
5and if also any one may strive, he is not crowned, except he may strive lawfully;
6Ny mpiasa tany izay misasatra no tokony ho voalohany handray ny vokatra.
6the labouring husbandman it behoveth first of the fruits to partake;
7Diniho izay lazaiko, fa homen'ny Tompo fahazavan-tsaina ny amin'ny zavatra rehetra ianao.
7be considering what things I say, for the Lord give to thee understanding in all things.
8Tsarovy Jesosy Kristy Izay natsangana tamin'ny maty, dia Ilay avy tamin'ny taranak'i Davida, araka ny filazantsarako,
8Remember Jesus Christ, raised out of the dead, of the seed of David, according to my good news,
9izay iaretako fahoriana hatramin'ny fatorana aza, hoatra ny mpanao ratsy; nefa ny tenin'Andriamanitra dia tsy mba voafatotra.
9in which I suffer evil -- unto bonds, as an evil-doer, but the word of God hath not been bound;
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.
10because of this all things do I endure, because of the choice ones, that they also salvation may obtain that [is] in Christ Jesus, with glory age-during.
11Mahatoky izao teny izao: Fa raha miara-maty aminy isika, dia hiara-belona aminy koa;
11Stedfast [is] the word: For if we died together -- we also shall live together;
12raha miaritra isika, dia hiara-manjaka aminy; raha mandà Azy isika, Izy kosa handà antsika;
12if we do endure together -- we shall also reign together; if we deny [him], he also shall deny us;
13fa na dia tsy matoky Azy aza isika, dia mbola mahatoky ihany Izy, fa tsy mahazo mandà ny tenany.
13if we are not stedfast, he remaineth stedfast; to deny himself he is not able.
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,
14These things remind [them] of, testifying fully before the Lord -- not to strive about words to nothing profitable, but to the subversion of those hearing;
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']
15be diligent to present thyself approved to God -- a workman irreproachable, rightly dividing the word of the truth;
16Fa halaviro ny fibedibedena foana; fa mbola handroso amin'ny haratsiam-panahy ihany izy ireny,
16and the profane vain talkings stand aloof from, for to more impiety they will advance,
17ary ny teniny dia handany tahaka ny aretina mihady; isan ireny Hymeneo sy Fileto, [ Gr. gangrena]
17and their word as a gangrene will have pasture, of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus,
18izay nania tamin'ny marina ka milaza fa efa lasa sahady ny fitsanganan'ny maty, dia mamadika ny finoan'ny sasany.
18who concerning the truth did swerve, saying the rising again to have already been, and do overthrow the faith of some;
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."
19sure, nevertheless, hath the foundation of God stood, having this seal, `The Lord hath known those who are His,' and `Let him depart from unrighteousness -- every one who is naming the name of Christ.'
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.
20And in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth, and some to honour, and some to dishonour:
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.
21if, then, any one may cleanse himself from these, he shall be a vessel to honour, sanctified and profitable to the master -- to every good work having been prepared,
22Fa mandosira ny filan'ny tanora fanahy; ary miezaha mitady fahamarinana, finoana, fitiavana, fihavanana amin'izay miantso ny Tompo amin'ny fo madio.
22and the youthful lusts flee thou, and pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace, with those calling upon the Lord out of a pure heart;
23Fa mandava ny fanontaniana adaladala tsy misy antony, satria fantatrao fa mahatonga ady izany.
23and the foolish and uninstructed questions be avoiding, having known that they beget strife,
24Ary tsy mety raha miady ny mpanompon'ny Tompo, fa ho malemy fanahy amin'ny olona rehetra, mahay mampianatra, mahalefitra,
24and a servant of the Lord it behoveth not to strive, but to be gentle unto all, apt to teach, patient under evil,
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]
25in meekness instructing those opposing -- if perhaps God may give to them repentance to an acknowledging of the truth,
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]
26and they may awake out of the devil's snare, having been caught by him at his will.
