¹You therefore, my child, be strengthened in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

¹Hi bada, ene semé, fortificadi Iesus Christ baithan den gratián:

²The things which you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit the same to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also.

²Eta anhitz testimonioren artean eneganic ençun dituan gauçác, iracats ietzec gende fideley, cein bercen-ere iracasteco sufficient içanen baitirade.

³You therefore must endure hardship, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.

³Hic bada trabaillu suffri eçac Iesus Christen gendarmés on anço.

⁴No soldier on duty entangles himself in the affairs of life, that he may please him who enrolled him as a soldier.

⁴Eztuc nehor guerlán empatchatzen vicitzeco eguitecoéz, guerla eguiteco hautatu duenaren gogaraco dençát.

⁵Also, if anyone competes in athletics, he isn’t crowned unless he has competed by the rules.

⁵Halaber baldin nehorc combatic eguiten badu, eztuc coroatzen baldin bidezqui combatitu ezpada.

⁶The farmers who labor must be the first to get a share of the crops.

⁶Laborariac trabaillatu behar dic fructuric recebi deçan baino lehen.

⁷Consider what I say, and may the Lord give you understanding in all things.

⁷Consideraitzac erraiten ditudan gauçác: Iaunac bada eman dieçála adimendu gauça gucietan.

⁸Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, of the seed of David, according to my Good News,

⁸Aicén orhoit Iesus Christ resuscitatu içan dela hiletaric, Dauid-en hacitic celaric, ene Euangelioaren araura:

⁹in which I suffer hardship to the point of chains as a criminal. But God’s word isn’t chained.

⁹Ceinetan, gaizquiguile anço, affligitzen bainaiz estecailluetarano: baina Iaunaren hitza eztuc estecatua.

¹⁰Therefore I endure all things for the chosen ones’ sake, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

¹⁰Halacotz gauça guciac suffritzen citiát elegituacgatic, hec-ere obteni deçatençát Iesus Christ Iaunean den saluamendua, gloria eternalarequin.

¹¹This saying is faithful: “For if we died with him, we will also live with him.

¹¹Hitz segura duc haur: Ecen baldin harequin hil içan bagara, harequin vicico-ere garela.

¹²If we endure, we will also reign with him. If we deny him, he also will deny us.

¹²Baldin suffritzen badugu, regnaturen-ere harequin diagu: baldin vkatzen badugu, harc-ere gu vkaturen guiaitic:

¹³If we are faithless, he remains faithful. He can’t deny himself.”

¹³Baldin desleyal bagara, hura ordea fidel diagoc, vka bere buruä ecin ceçaquec.

¹⁴Remind them of these things, charging them in the sight of the Lord, that they don’t argue about words, to no profit, to the subverting of those who hear.

¹⁴Arramberritzac gauça hauc, protestatzen dualaric Iaunaren aitzinean ezteçan nehorc hitzez iharduqui, baita probetchuric batre ekarten eztuen gauça, aitzitic ençuleac erautzen dituena.

¹⁵Give diligence to present yourself approved by God, a workman who doesn’t need to be ashamed, properly handling the Word of Truth.

¹⁵Diligentadi eure buruären Iaincoari approbatu presentatzera, confusione gabeco obrero, artezqui eguiaren hitza ebaquiten duála.

¹⁶But shun empty chatter, for it will go further in ungodliness,

¹⁶Oihu vanoac eta profanoac reprimitzac: ceren impietate handiagotara auançaturen baitirade.

¹⁷and those words will consume like gangrene, of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;

¹⁷Eta hayén hitza gangrená beçala alhaco duc, ceinetaric baitirade Hymeneo eta Phileto:

¹⁸men who have erred concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection is already past, and overthrowing the faith of some.

¹⁸Cein eguiatic erauci içan baitirade, erraiten dutela ia resurrectionea eguin içan dela, eta erautzen dié edocein batzuén fedea.

¹⁹However God’s firm foundation stands, having this seal, “The Lord knows those who are his,” Numbers 16:5 and, “Let every one who names the name of the Lord TR reads “Christ” instead of “the Lord” depart from unrighteousness.”

¹⁹Alabaina Iaincoaren fundamenta fermu diagoc, cigulu haur duelaric, Eçagutzen ditu Iaunac cein diraden harenac: eta, Retira bedi iniustitiataric Christen icena inuocatzen duen gucia.

²⁰Now in a large house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of clay. Some are for honor, and some for dishonor.

²⁰Eta etche handi batetan eztuc solament vrrhezco eta cilharrezco vnciric, baina çurezcoric eta lurrezcoric-ere: eta batzu ohoretacotz, eta berceac desohoretacotz.

²¹If anyone therefore purges himself from these, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified, and suitable for the master’s use, prepared for every good work.

²¹Bada nehorc baldin bere buruä hautaric chahu badeça, içanen duc vnci ohoretacotz sanctificatua, eta Iaunaren vsegetacotz carazcoa, eta Iaunaren obra on orotara appaindua.

²²Flee from youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

²²Gaztetassunaren guthiciey-ere ihes eguiéc, eta iarreiqui aquió iustitiari, fedeari, charitateari, baqueari bihotz purez Iauna inuocatzen dutenequin.

²³But refuse foolish and ignorant questionings, knowing that they generate strife.

²³Eta questione erhoac, eta instructione gabetacoac iraizquic, daquialaric ecen hec gudu engendratzen dutela.

²⁴The Lord’s servant must not quarrel, but be gentle towards all, able to teach, patient,

²⁴Bada Iaunaren cerbitzariac eztic reuoltari içan behar, baina eme gucietara, iracasteco carazco, patientqui gaichtoac supportatzen dituelaric:

²⁵in gentleness correcting those who oppose him: perhaps God may give them repentance leading to a full knowledge of the truth,

²⁵Emetassunequin iracasten dituelaric opinione contrariotaco diradenac: eya noizpait Iaincoac vrriquimendu eman dieçaqueenez eguiaren eçagutzeco,

²⁶and they may recover themselves out of the devil’s snare, having been taken captive by him to his will.

²⁶Eta emenda ditecen, haren vorondatearen eguiteco, itzuriric deabruaren laçotic, ceinez hatzamanac baitaude.
