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:
1A k-n-ssutreɣ ɣef wudem n Ṛebbi d Ɛisa Lmasiḥ ara iḥasben wid yeddren d wid yemmuten, i lmend n wass n tuɣalin-is ț-țgeldit-is.
2preach the word; be urgent in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with all patience and teaching.
2Becceṛ awal n Sidi Ṛebbi ama di teswiɛt yelhan ama di teswiɛt iweɛṛen, ssefhem, lumm, enhu, sselmed s ṣṣbeṛ d leɛqel.
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;
3Axaṭer a d-yaweḍ lweqt anda kra n yemdanen ur zemmren ara ad slen i uselmed n tideț, lameɛna ad tebɛen lebɣi n tnefsit-nsen, a d-sbedden lecyux ara sen-d-ihedṛen ayen kan i sen-iɛeǧben ;
4and will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn aside to fables.
4ad sɛuẓẓgen iman nsen ɣef tideț, ad rren ddehn-nsen ɣer tmucuha.
5But you be sober in all things, suffer hardship, do the work of an evangelist, and fulfill your ministry.
5Ma d kečč ḥekkem deg iman-ik di kullec, ṣṣbeṛ i cedda d leɛtab, becceṛ lexbaṛ n lxiṛ , txedmeḍ lwaǧeb-ik n uqeddac n Sidi Ṛebbi akken ilaq.
6For I am already being offered, and the time of my departure has come.
6Ma d nekk yewweḍ-ed lweqt i deg ilaq ad sebbleɣ iman-iw, yewweḍ-ed lweqt i deg ara ṛuḥeɣ.
7I have fought the good fight. I have finished the course. I have kept the faith.
7Kfiɣ ccɣel-iw yerna ṭṭfeɣ di liman ar tura, nnuɣeɣ imenɣi n tideț armi ț-țaggara.
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.
8Tura yețṛaǧu-yi lḥeqq n lxedma-w ara yi-d-yefk Bab n lḥeqq deg ass n lḥisab, yerna mačči i nekk kan, lameɛna i wid meṛṛa i t-iḥemmlen yețṛaǧun ass n tuɣalin-is.
9Be diligent to come to me soon,
9Exdem lmeǧhud-ik iwakken ur tețɛeṭṭileḍ ara a d-taseḍ ɣuṛ-i.
10for Demas left me, having loved this present world, and went to Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, and Titus to Dalmatia.
10Gma-tneɣ Dimas yeǧǧa-yi, yewwi-t zzhu n ddunit, iṛuḥ ɣer temdint n Tisalunik. Gma-tneɣ Krisis iṛuḥ ɣer tmurt n Galasya, ma d gma-tneɣ Tit iṛuḥ ɣer tmurt n Dalmasya.
11Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with you, for he is useful to me for service.
11Anagar gma-tneɣ Luqa i geqqimen yid-i. Awi-d yid-ek gma tneɣ Maṛqus iwakken ad iyi-iɛawen di lxedma-w.
12But I sent Tychicus to Ephesus.
12Ma d gma-tneɣ Ticik atan ceggɛeɣ-t ɣer temdint n Ifasus.
13Bring the cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus when you come, and the books, especially the parchments.
13M'ara d-taseḍ, awi-d yid-ek abeṛnus-nni i ǧǧiɣ deg wexxam n Karbus di temdint n Truwas, awi-d yid-ek daɣen idlisen, abeɛda wid yețwaxedmen s weglim.
14Alexander, the coppersmith, did much evil to me. The Lord will repay him according to his works,
14Alixandru aḥeddad iḍuṛṛ-iyi, ixdem-iyi aṭas n cceṛ meɛna ayen yexdem a t-yaf ɣer Sidi Ṛebbi.
15of whom you also must beware; for he greatly opposed our words.
15Ula d kečč ḥader iman-ik seg-s, axaṭer yețxaṣam-aɣ-d daymen deg wayen i nețbecciṛ.
16At my first defense, no one came to help me, but all left me. May it not be held against them.
16Ass amezwaru i deg d-beddeɣ ɣer ccṛeɛ ur ufiɣ ula d yiwen ɣer tama-w, ǧǧan-iyi akk ; lameɛna a wer ten-iḥaseb Ṛebbi ɣef wayagi !
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.
17D Sidi Ṛebbi i yi-iɛawnen, i yi-isǧehden, iwakken lexbaṛ n lxiṛ ad ițțubecceṛ s lekmal-is i leǧnas nniḍen meṛṛa yerna isellek-iyi-d seg imi n yizmawen.
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.
18Sidi Ṛebbi mazal a yi-iḥader ɣef wayen akk n diri yerna ad iyi-isellek iwakken ad kecmeɣ tagelda-ines yellan deg igenwan. I nețța tamanegt si lǧil ɣer lǧil ! Amin !
19Greet Prisca and Aquila, and the house of Onesiphorus.
19Sellem ɣef Briska d Akilas akk-d țwacult n Unisifur.
20Erastus remained at Corinth, but I left Trophimus at Miletus sick.
20Gma-tneɣ Irast yeqqim di temdint n Kurintus, ma d Trufim ǧǧiɣ-t di temdint n Milet mazal-it yehlek.
21Be diligent to come before winter. Eubulus salutes you, as do Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brothers.
21Exdem lmeǧhud-ik iwakken a d taseḍ uqbel ccetwa. Bulus, Buden, Linus, Kludya d watmaten akk nniḍen țsellimen-d fell-ak.
22The Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.
22Sidi Ṛebbi ad yili yid-ek ! Ṛṛeḥma-s a d-ters fell-awen ! Amin.
