¹ܗܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܗܘܝܬ ܝܕܥ ܕܒܝܘܡܬܐ ܐܚܪܝܐ ܢܐܬܘܢ ܙܒܢܐ ܩܫܝܐ ܀

¹But know this, that in the last days, grievous times will come.

²ܘܢܗܘܘܢ ܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܪܚܡܝ ܢܦܫܗܘܢ ܘܪܚܡܝ ܟܤܦܐ ܫܒܗܪܢܐ ܪܡܐ ܡܓܕܦܢܐ ܕܠܐܢܫܝܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܡܬܛܦܝܤܝܢ ܟܦܪܝ ܒܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܪܫܝܥܐ ܀

²For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

³ܐܟܠܝ ܩܪܨܐ ܡܫܥܒܕܝ ܠܪܓܬܐ ܒܥܪܝܪܝܐ ܤܢܝܝ ܛܒܬܐ ܀

³without natural affection, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, no lovers of good,

⁴ܡܫܠܡܢܐ ܡܤܪܗܒܐ ܚܬܝܪܐ ܪܚܡܝ ܪܓܝܓܬܐ ܛܒ ܡܢ ܚܘܒܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀

⁴traitors, headstrong, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God;

⁵ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܤܟܡܐ ܕܕܚܠܬ ܐܠܗܐ ܘܡܢ ܚܝܠܗ ܪܚܝܩܝܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܗܟܢܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܚܘܩ ܐܢܘܢ ܡܢܟ ܀

⁵holding a form of godliness, but having denied its power. Turn away from these, also.

⁶ܡܢܗܘܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܡܚܠܕܝܢ ܒܝܬ ܒܬܐ ܘܫܒܝܢ ܢܫܐ ܕܛܡܝܪܢ ܒܚܛܗܐ ܘܡܬܕܒܪܢ ܠܪܓܝܓܬܐ ܡܫܚܠܦܬܐ ܀

⁶For some of these are people who creep into houses, and take captive gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts,

⁷ܕܒܟܠܙܒܢ ܝܠܦܢ ܘܡܡܬܘܡ ܠܝܕܥܬܐ ܕܫܪܪܐ ܠܡܐܬܐ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܀

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

⁸ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܝܢܤ ܘܝܡܒܪܝܤ ܩܡܘ ܠܘܩܒܠ ܡܘܫܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܦ ܗܢܘܢ ܩܝܡܝܢ ܠܘܩܒܠ ܫܪܪܐ ܐܢܫܐ ܕܡܚܒܠ ܪܥܝܢܗܘܢ ܘܤܠܝܢ ܡܢ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܀

⁸Even as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so do these also oppose the truth; men corrupted in mind, who concerning the faith, are rejected.

⁹ܐܠܐ ܠܐ ܢܐܬܘܢ ܠܩܕܡܝܗܘܢ ܫܛܝܘܬܗܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܡܬܝܕܥܐ ܗܝ ܠܟܠܢܫ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܦ ܕܗܢܘܢ ܐܬܝܕܥܬ ܀

⁹But they will proceed no further. For their folly will be evident to all men, as theirs also came to be.

¹⁰ܐܢܬ ܕܝܢ ܐܬܝܬ ܒܬܪ ܝܘܠܦܢܝ ܘܒܬܪ ܕܘܒܪܝ ܘܒܬܪ ܨܒܝܢܝ ܘܒܬܪ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܝ ܘܒܬܪ ܢܓܝܪܘܬ ܪܘܚܝ ܘܒܬܪ ܚܘܒܝ ܘܒܬܪ ܡܤܝܒܪܢܘܬܝ ܀

¹⁰But you did follow my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, love, steadfastness,

¹¹ܘܒܬܪ ܪܕܝܦܘܬܝ ܘܒܬܪ ܚܫܝ ܘܝܕܥ ܐܢܬ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܤܝܒܪܬ ܒܐܢܛܝܟܝܐ ܘܒܐܝܩܢܘܢ ܘܒܠܘܤܛܪܐ ܐܝܕܐ ܪܕܝܦܘܬܐ ܤܝܒܪܬ ܘܡܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܦܨܝܢܝ ܡܪܝ ܀

¹¹persecutions, and sufferings: those things that happened to me at Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. I endured those persecutions. Out of them all the Lord delivered me.

¹²ܘܟܠܗܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܨܒܝܢ ܒܕܚܠܬ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܢܚܘܢ ܒܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܡܬܪܕܦܝܢ ܀

¹²Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.

¹³ܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܒܝܫܐ ܘܡܛܥܝܢܐ ܢܘܤܦܘܢ ܥܠ ܒܝܫܘܬܗܘܢ ܟܕ ܛܥܝܢ ܘܡܛܥܝܢ ܀

¹³But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.

¹⁴ܐܢܬ ܕܝܢ ܩܘܐ ܒܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܝܠܦܬ ܘܐܫܬܪܪܬ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܬ ܓܝܪ ܡܢ ܡܢܘ ܝܠܦܬ ܀

¹⁴But you remain in the things which you have learned and have been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them.

¹⁵ܘܕܡܢ ܛܠܝܘܬܟ ܤܦܪܐ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܝܠܝܦ ܐܢܬ ܕܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܕܢܚܟܡܘܢܟ ܠܚܝܐ ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܀

¹⁵From infancy, you have known the holy Scriptures which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith, which is in Christ Jesus.

¹⁶ܟܠ ܟܬܒ ܕܒܪܘܚܐ ܐܬܟܬܒ ܡܘܬܪܢܐ ܗܘ ܠܝܘܠܦܢܐ ܘܠܟܘܘܢܐ ܘܠܬܘܪܨܐ ܘܠܡܪܕܘܬܐ ܕܒܟܐܢܘܬܐ ܀

¹⁶Every Scripture is God-breathed and or, Every writing inspired by God is profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness,

¹⁷ܕܢܗܘܐ ܓܡܝܪ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܠܟܠ ܥܒܕ ܛܒ ܡܫܠܡܢ ܀

¹⁷that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
