1ܡܤܗܕ ܐܢܐ ܠܟ ܩܕܡ ܐܠܗܐ ܘܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܗܘ ܕܥܬܝܕ ܠܡܕܢ ܚܝܐ ܘܡܝܬܐ ܒܓܠܝܢܐ ܕܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܀
1I command you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at his appearing and his Kingdom:
2ܐܟܪܙ ܡܠܬܐ ܘܩܘܡ ܒܚܦܝܛܘܬܐ ܒܙܒܢܐ ܘܕܠܐ ܙܒܢܐ ܐܟܤ ܘܟܘܢ ܒܟܠܗ ܡܓܪܬ ܪܘܚܐ ܘܝܘܠܦܢܐ ܀
2preach the word; be urgent in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with all patience and teaching.
3ܢܗܘܐ ܓܝܪ ܙܒܢܐ ܕܠܝܘܠܦܢܐ ܚܠܝܡܐ ܠܐ ܢܫܬܡܥܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܐܝܟ ܪܓܝܓܬܗܘܢ ܢܤܓܘܢ ܠܢܦܫܗܘܢ ܡܠܦܢܐ ܒܚܘܬܚܬܐ ܕܡܫܡܥܬܗܘܢ ܀
3For the time will come when they will not listen to the sound doctrine, but, having itching ears, will heap up for themselves teachers after their own lusts;
4ܘܡܢ ܫܪܪܐ ܢܗܦܟܘܢ ܐܕܢܗܘܢ ܠܫܘܥܝܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܢܤܛܘܢ ܀
4and will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn aside to fables.
5ܐܢܬ ܕܝܢ ܗܘܝܬ ܥܝܪ ܒܟܠܡܕܡ ܘܤܝܒܪ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܘܥܒܕܐ ܥܒܕ ܕܡܤܒܪܢܐ ܘܬܫܡܫܬܟ ܫܠܡ ܀
5But you be sober in all things, suffer hardship, do the work of an evangelist, and fulfill your ministry.
6ܐܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܡܟܝܠ ܡܬܢܩܐ ܐܢܐ ܘܙܒܢܐ ܕܐܫܬܪܐ ܡܛܐ ܀
6For I am already being offered, and the time of my departure has come.
7ܐܓܘܢܐ ܫܦܝܪܐ ܐܬܟܬܫܬ ܘܪܗܛܝ ܫܠܡܬ ܘܗܝܡܢܘܬܝ ܢܛܪܬ ܀
7I have fought the good fight. I have finished the course. I have kept the faith.
8ܘܡܢ ܗܫܐ ܢܛܝܪ ܠܝ ܟܠܝܠܐ ܕܟܐܢܘܬܐ ܕܢܦܪܥܝܘܗܝ ܠܝ ܡܪܝ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܗܘ ܕܗܘܝܘ ܕܝܢܐ ܟܐܢܐ ܠܐ ܕܝܢ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܠܝ ܐܠܐ ܐܦ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܚܒܘ ܠܓܠܝܢܗ ܀
8From now on, there is stored up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give to me on that day; and not to me only, but also to all those who have loved his appearing.
9ܢܬܒܛܠ ܠܟ ܕܬܐܬܐ ܠܘܬܝ ܒܥܓܠ ܀
9Be diligent to come to me soon,
10ܕܡܐ ܓܝܪ ܫܒܩܢܝ ܘܐܚܒ ܥܠܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܘܐܙܠ ܠܗ ܠܬܤܠܘܢܝܩܐ ܩܪܤܩܘܤ ܠܓܠܛܝܐ ܛܛܘܤ ܠܕܠܡܛܝܐ ܀
10for Demas left me, having loved this present world, and went to Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, and Titus to Dalmatia.
11ܠܘܩܐ ܗܘ ܒܠܚܘܕܘܗܝ ܥܡܝ ܠܡܪܩܘܤ ܕܒܪ ܘܐܝܬܝܗܝ ܥܡܟ ܥܗܢ ܠܝ ܓܝܪ ܠܬܫܡܫܬܐ ܀
11Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with you, for he is useful to me for service.
12ܠܛܘܟܝܩܘܤ ܕܝܢ ܫܕܪܬ ܠܐܦܤܘܤ ܀
12But I sent Tychicus to Ephesus.
13ܒܝܬ ܟܬܒܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܫܒܩܬ ܒܛܪܘܐܘܤ ܠܘܬ ܩܪܦܘܤ ܡܐ ܕܐܬܐ ܐܢܬ ܐܝܬܝܗܝ ܘܟܬܒܐ ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܟܪܟܐ ܕܡܓܠܐ ܀
13Bring the cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus when you come, and the books, especially the parchments.
14ܐܠܟܤܢܕܪܤ ܩܝܢܝܐ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܤܓܝܐܬܐ ܚܘܝܢܝ ܦܪܥ ܠܗ ܡܪܢ ܐܝܟ ܥܒܕܘܗܝ ܀
14Alexander, the coppersmith, did much evil to me. The Lord will repay him according to his works,
15ܐܦ ܐܢܬ ܕܝܢ ܐܙܕܗܪ ܡܢܗ ܛܒ ܓܝܪ ܙܩܝܦ ܠܘܩܒܠ ܡܠܝܢ ܀
15of whom you also must beware; for he greatly opposed our words.
16ܒܡܦܩ ܒܪܘܚܝ ܩܕܡܝܐ ܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܗܘܐ ܥܡܝ ܐܠܐ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܫܒܩܘܢܝ ܠܐ ܬܬܚܫܒ ܠܗܘܢ ܗܕܐ ܀
16At my first defense, no one came to help me, but all left me. May it not be held against them.
17ܡܪܝ ܕܝܢ ܩܡ ܠܝ ܘܚܝܠܢܝ ܕܒܝ ܟܪܘܙܘܬܐ ܬܫܬܠܡ ܘܢܫܡܥܘܢ ܥܡܡܐ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܕܐܬܦܨܝܬ ܡܢ ܦܘܡܐ ܕܐܪܝܐ ܀
17But the Lord stood by me, and strengthened me, that through me the message might be fully proclaimed, and that all the Gentiles might hear; and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.
18ܘܢܦܨܝܢܝ ܡܪܝ ܡܢ ܟܠ ܥܒܕ ܒܝܫ ܘܢܚܝܢܝ ܒܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܕܒܫܡܝܐ ܕܠܗ ܫܘܒܚܐ ܠܥܠܡ ܥܠܡܝܢ ܐܡܝܢ ܀
18And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me for his heavenly Kingdom; to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
19ܗܒ ܫܠܡܐ ܠܦܪܝܤܩܠܐ ܘܠܐܩܠܘܤ ܘܠܒܝܬܐ ܕܐܢܤܝܦܘܪܘܤ ܀
19Greet Prisca and Aquila, and the house of Onesiphorus.
20ܐܪܤܛܘܤ ܦܫ ܠܗ ܒܩܘܪܢܬܘܤ ܛܪܘܦܝܡܘܤ ܕܝܢ ܫܒܩܬܗ ܟܕ ܟܪܝܗ ܒܡܝܠܝܛܘܤ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܀
20Erastus remained at Corinth, but I left Trophimus at Miletus sick.
21ܢܬܒܛܠ ܠܟ ܕܩܕܡ ܤܬܘܐ ܬܐܬܐ ܫܐܠ ܒܫܠܡܟ ܐܘܒܘܠܘܤ ܘܦܘܕܤ ܘܠܝܢܘܤ ܘܩܠܘܕܝܐ ܘܐܚܐ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܀
21Be diligent to come before winter. Eubulus salutes you, as do Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brothers.
22ܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܥܡ ܪܘܚܟ ܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܥܡܟ ܐܡܝܢ ܀
22The Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.
