¹[Ny amin'ny fihemorana any am-parany,] Fa aoka ho fantatrao izao: fa any am-parany any dia hisy andro mahory.

¹And this know thou, that in the last days there shall come perilous times,

²Fa ny olona ho tia tena, ho tia vola, ho mpandoka tena, mpiavonavona, miteny ratsy, tsy manoa ray sy reny, tsy misaotra, tsy manaja izay masina, [ Gr. manao blasfemia; izahao Mat. 9,3]

²for men shall be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, evil-speakers, to parents disobedient, unthankful, unkind,

³tsy manam-pitiavana, mpanontolo fo, mpanendrikendrika, tsy mahonom-po, lozabe, tsy tia ny tsara,

³without natural affection, implacable, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, not lovers of those who are good,

⁴mpamadika, kirina, mpieboebo, tia ny fahafinaretana mihoatra noho ny fitiavany an'Andriamanitra,

⁴traitors, heady, lofty, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God,

⁵manana ny endriky ny toe-panahy araka an'Andriamanitra, nefa nandà ny heriny; ireny koa dia halaviro.

⁵having a form of piety, and its power having denied; and from these be turning away,

⁶Fa isan'ireny izay misokosoko miditra any an-tranon'ny sasany ka mahalasa ho babo ny vehivavy adaladala, vesaran'ny fahotana, entin'ny filàna maro,

⁶for of these there are those coming into the houses and leading captive the silly women, laden with sins, led away with desires manifold,

⁷mianatra mandrakariva, nefa tsy mahatratra ny fahalalana ny marina.

⁷always learning, and never to a knowledge of truth able to come,

⁸Ary tahaka ny nanoheran'i Jana sy Jambra an'i Mosesy no anoheran'ireo koa ny fahamarinana, dia olona maloto saina sady tsy manam-pinoana marina.

⁸and, even as Jannes and Jambres stood against Moses, so also these do stand against the truth, men corrupted in mind, disapproved concerning the faith;

⁹Kanefa tsy handroso intsony izy; fa ny hadalany dia haseho amin'ny olona rehetra, tahaka ny an'ireo koa.

⁹but they shall not advance any further, for their folly shall be manifest to all, as theirs also did become.

¹⁰[Famporisihana an'i Timoty handroso tsara araka ny efa nataony ihany] Fa ianao kosa dia efa nanaraka tsara ny fampianarako, ny fitondran-tenako, ny fisainako, ny finoako, ny fandeferako, ny fitiavako, ny faharetako,

¹⁰And thou -- thou hast followed after my teaching, manner of life, purpose, faith, long-suffering, love, endurance,

¹¹ny nanenjehana ahy, ny fahoriana izay nanjo ahy tany Antiokia, tany Ikonioma, tany Lystra, dia ny fanenjehana izay niaretako; ary ny Tompo nahafaka ahy tamin'izany rehetra izany.

¹¹the persecutions, the afflictions, that befel me in Antioch, in Iconium, in Lystra; what persecutions I endured, and out of all the Lord did deliver me,

¹²Eny, izay rehetra te-ho velona amin'ny toe-panahy araka an'Andriamanitra, izay ao amin'i Kristy Jesosy, dia henjehina.

¹²and all also who will to live piously in Christ Jesus shall be persecuted,

¹³Fa ny ratsy fanahy sy ny mpanoloky kosa dia handroso hiharatsiratsy kokoa sady mamitaka no fitahina.

¹³and evil men and impostors shall advance to the worse, leading astray and being led astray.

¹⁴Fa ianao kosa dia mahareta amin'izay zavatra nianaranao sy nampinoana anao, satria fantatrao izay nampianatra anao izany;

¹⁴And thou -- be remaining in the things which thou didst learn and wast entrusted with, having known from whom thou didst learn,

¹⁵fa hatry ny fony vao zaza ianao dia efa nahalala ny Soratra Masina, izay mampahahendry anao ho amin'ny famonjena amin'ny finoana izay ao amin'i Kristy Jesosy.

¹⁵and because from a babe the Holy Writings thou hast known, which are able to make thee wise -- to salvation, through faith that [is] in Christ Jesus;

¹⁶Izay soratra rehetra nomen'ny tsindrimandrin'Andriamanitra dia mahasoa koa ho fampianarana, ho fandresen-dahatra, ho fanitsiana izay diso, ho fitaizana amin'ny fahamarinana,mba ho tanteraka ny olon'Andriamanitra, ho vonona tsara ho amin'ny asa tsara rehetra.

¹⁶every Writing [is] God-breathed, and profitable for teaching, for conviction, for setting aright, for instruction that [is] in righteousness,

¹⁷mba ho tanteraka ny olon'Andriamanitra, ho vonona tsara ho amin'ny asa tsara rehetra.

¹⁷that the man of God may be fitted -- for every good work having been completed.
