1ܦܘܠܘܤ ܫܠܝܚܐ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܒܨܒܝܢܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܒܡܘܠܟܢܐ ܕܚܝܐ ܕܒܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܀
1Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, according to the promise of the life which is in Christ Jesus,
2ܠܛܝܡܬܐܘܤ ܒܪܐ ܚܒܝܒܐ ܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܘܪܚܡܐ ܘܫܠܡܐ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܒܐ ܘܡܢ ܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܀
2to Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3ܡܘܕܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܗܘ ܕܠܗ ܡܫܡܫ ܐܢܐ ܡܢ ܐܒܗܬܝ ܒܬܐܪܬܐ ܕܟܝܬܐ ܕܐܡܝܢܐܝܬ ܡܬܕܟܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟ ܒܨܠܘܬܝ ܕܠܠܝܐ ܘܕܐܝܡܡܐ ܀
3I thank God, whom I serve as my forefathers did, with a pure conscience. How unceasing is my memory of you in my petitions, night and day
4ܘܤܘܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܡܚܙܝܟ ܘܡܬܕܟܪ ܐܢܐ ܕܡܥܝܟ ܕܐܬܡܠܐ ܚܕܘܬܐ ܀
4longing to see you, remembering your tears, that I may be filled with joy;
5ܒܥܘܗܕܢܐ ܕܗܘܐ ܠܝ ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܟ ܫܪܝܪܬܐ ܗܝ ܕܫܪܬ ܠܘܩܕܡ ܒܐܡܐ ܕܐܡܟ ܠܘܐܝܤ ܘܒܐܡܟ ܐܘܢܝܩܐ ܡܦܤ ܐܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܐܦ ܒܟ ܀
5having been reminded of the sincere faith that is in you; which lived first in your grandmother Lois, and your mother Eunice, and, I am persuaded, in you also.
6ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܡܥܗܕ ܐܢܐ ܠܟ ܕܬܥܝܪ ܡܘܗܒܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܗܝ ܕܐܝܬ ܒܟ ܒܤܝܡ ܐܝܕܝ ܀
6For this cause, I remind you that you should stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.
7ܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܝܗܒ ܠܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܪܘܚܐ ܕܕܚܠܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܕܚܝܠܐ ܘܕܚܘܒܐ ܘܕܡܪܬܝܢܘܬܐ ܀
7For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.
8ܠܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܬܒܗܬ ܒܤܗܕܘܬܗ ܕܡܪܢ ܐܦܠܐ ܒܝ ܒܐܤܝܪܗ ܐܠܐ ܫܩܘܠ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܥܡ ܐܘܢܓܠܝܘܢ ܒܚܝܠܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀
8Therefore don’t be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner; but endure hardship for the Good News according to the power of God,
9ܗܘ ܕܐܚܝܢ ܘܩܪܢ ܒܩܪܝܢܐ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܠܘ ܐܝܟ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܐܠܐ ܐܝܟ ܨܒܝܢܗ ܘܛܝܒܘܬܗ ܗܝ ܕܐܬܝܗܒܬ ܠܢ ܒܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܙܒܢܐ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܀
9who saved us and 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 times eternal,
10ܘܐܬܓܠܝܬ ܗܫܐ ܒܓܠܝܢܗ ܕܡܚܝܢܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܕܒܛܠ ܠܡܘܬܐ ܘܚܘܝ ܚܝܐ ܘܠܐ ܡܬܚܒܠܢܘܬܐ ܒܐܘܢܓܠܝܘܢ ܀
10but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light through the Good News.
11ܗܘ ܕܐܬܬܤܝܡܬ ܒܗ ܐܢܐ ܟܪܘܙܐ ܘܫܠܝܚܐ ܘܡܠܦܢܐ ܕܥܡܡܐ ܀
11For this, I was appointed as a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.
12ܡܛܠ ܗܕܐ ܡܤܝܒܪ ܐܢܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܘܠܐ ܒܗܬ ܐܢܐ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܒܡܢ ܗܝܡܢܬ ܘܡܦܤ ܐܢܐ ܕܡܛܝܐ ܒܐܝܕܘܗܝ ܓܘܥܠܢܝ ܠܡܛܪ ܠܝ ܠܝܘܡܐ ܗܘ ܀
12For this cause I also suffer these things. Yet I am not ashamed, for I know him whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to guard that which I have committed to him against that day.
13ܢܗܘܝܢ ܠܟ ܚܘܪܐ ܡܠܐ ܚܠܝܡܬܐ ܕܫܡܥܬ ܡܢܝ ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܘܒܚܘܒܐ ܕܒܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܀
13Hold the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
14ܓܘܥܠܢܐ ܛܒܐ ܛܪ ܒܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ ܗܝ ܕܥܡܪܬ ܒܢ ܀
14That good thing which was committed to you, guard through the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.
15ܝܕܥ ܐܢܬ ܗܕܐ ܕܗܦܟܘ ܡܢܝ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܒܐܤܝܐ ܕܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܦܘܓܠܘܤ ܘܗܪܡܓܢܘܤ ܀
15This you know, that all who are in Asia turned away from me; of whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.
16ܢܬܠ ܡܪܢ ܪܚܡܐ ܠܒܝܬܗ ܕܐܢܤܝܦܘܪܘܤ ܕܙܒܢܝܢ ܤܓܝܐܢ ܐܢܝܚܢܝ ܘܒܫܫܠܬܐ ܕܐܤܘܪܝ ܠܐ ܒܗܬ ܀
16May the Lord grant mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain,
17ܐܠܐ ܐܦ ܟܕ ܐܬܐ ܠܪܗܘܡܝ ܒܚܦܝܛܘܬܐ ܒܥܢܝ ܘܐܫܟܚܢܝ ܀
17but when he was in Rome, he sought me diligently, and found me
18ܢܬܠ ܠܗ ܡܪܢ ܕܢܫܟܚ ܪܚܡܐ ܠܘܬ ܡܪܢ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܗܘ ܘܟܡܐ ܕܫܡܫܢܝ ܒܐܦܤܘܤ ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܬ ܀
18(the Lord grant to him to find the Lord’s mercy in that day); and in how many things he served at Ephesus, you know very well.
