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

¹Ilaq aț-țeẓred belli ɣer taggara n ddunit a d-asen wussan iweɛṛen.

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

²Imdanen ad țxemmimen ɣef yiman-nsen kan, ad ṭṭamaɛen deg idrimen, ad ssemɣuṛen iman-nsen, ad țzuxxun, ad reggmen di Ṛebbi, ad țɛaṣin imawlan-nsen, ad nekkṛen lxiṛ, ad tekksen sser ɣef wayen yesɛan lḥeṛma,

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

³ur seɛɛun ṛṛeḥma ur seɛɛun leḥnana deg ulawen-nsen, ad skiddiben ɣef wiyaḍ, ur zemmren ara ad ḥekmen deg iman-nsen, ulawen nsen qquṛen, d iɛdawen n lxiṛ,

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

⁴d ixeddaɛen, a ten-isderɣel zzux, ad ḥemmlen lebɣi n tnefsit-nsen wala lebɣi n Sidi Ṛebbi ;

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

⁵ad tebɛen abrid n Sidi Ṛebbi s wawal kan meɛna ad nekkṛen tazmert yellan deg-s. Ihi xḍu-k i yemdanen am wigi.

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

⁶Kra seg-sen keččmen ɣer kra n yexxamen, țkellixen tilawin ur nesɛi ara lḥeṛma i gețțawi zzhu n ddunit ;

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

⁷țqellibent daymen ad fehment, lameɛna leɛmeṛ țțawḍent ɣer tmusni n tideț.

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

⁸Am akken i xulfen Yanes d Yambris Sidna Musa, f+ akken daɣen ara xalfen tideț yemdanen-agi, aț-țeɛwej lefhama-nsen, ad ffɣen i webrid n liman.

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

⁹Meɛna ur țțawḍen ɣer wacemma axaṭer imdanen meṛṛa a ten-ɛeqlen belli ffɣen i webrid am akken tedṛa d Yanes d Yambris.

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

¹⁰Ma d kečč tettebɛeḍ akken ilaq ayen i k-slemdeɣ, tikli-inu, ixemmimen-iw, liman-iw, ṣṣbeṛ-iw, leḥmala-inu d ẓẓwara-inu,

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.

¹¹leqheṛ i țwaqehṛeɣ akk-d leɛtab-iw. Teẓriḍ lemḥayen i gɛeddan fell-i di temdinin n Antyuc, n Ikunyum d Listra ? Anwa leqheṛ iwumi ur ṣbiṛeɣ ara ? Meɛna Sidi Ṛebbi isellek-iyi seg-sen meṛṛa.

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

¹²Kra n win yebɣan ad iddu di liman n Ɛisa Lmasiḥ ad ițțuqehheṛ.

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

¹³Ma d imcumen ixeddaɛen, ad țkemmilen dayem di cceṛ-nsen, ad ɣuṛṛen wiyaḍ, ad rnun iman-nsen.

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

¹⁴Ma d kečč eḥrez ayen i tlemdeḍ s wayes i tesqenɛeḍ ; teẓriḍ anwa i k-islemden.

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

¹⁵Seg asmi telliḍ d ameẓyan i tessneḍ tira iqedsen ; yis-sent ara tesɛuḍ lefhama yețțawin ɣer leslak s liman di Ɛisa Lmasiḥ.

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,

¹⁶Yal tira iqedsen s ɣuṛ Ṛebbi i d-tekka yerna twulem i uselmed, i usefhem, i nehhu akk-d țṛebga deg webrid n lḥeqq,

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

¹⁷iwakken yal aqeddac n Sidi Ṛebbi ad yili d amdan ikemlen i gwulmen i yal ccɣel yelhan.
