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

¹[Famporisihana an'Timoty haharitra tsara, na dia azom-pahoriana aza] Koa ianao, anaka, dia aoka hihahery amin'ny fahasoavana izay ao amin'i Kristy Jesosy.

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.

²Ary izay zavatra efa renao tamiko teo anatrehan'ny vavolombelona maro dia atolory ny olona mahatoky, izay hahay mampianatra ny sasany kosa.

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

³Miaraha miaritra ny mafy amiko ianao tahaka ny miaramila tsaran'i Kristy Jesosy.

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

⁴Ny miaramila manafika dia tsy mba misy maningo-tena amin'ny raharahan'izao fiainana izao. mba hahafaly izay efa nifidy azy ho miaramila.

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

⁵Ary raha misy manezaka amin'ny filalaovana, dia tsy satrohana satro-boninahitra izy, raha tsy manezaka araka ny lalàna.

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

⁶Ny mpiasa tany izay misasatra no tokony ho voalohany handray ny vokatra.

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

⁷Diniho izay lazaiko, fa homen'ny Tompo fahazavan-tsaina ny amin'ny zavatra rehetra ianao.

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

⁸Tsarovy Jesosy Kristy Izay natsangana tamin'ny maty, dia Ilay avy tamin'ny taranak'i Davida, araka ny filazantsarako,

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

⁹izay iaretako fahoriana hatramin'ny fatorana aza, hoatra ny mpanao ratsy; nefa ny tenin'Andriamanitra dia tsy mba voafatotra.

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.

¹⁰Izany no iaretako ny zavatra rehetra noho ny amin'ny olom-boafidy, mba hahazoan'ireny koa famonjena. dia izay ao amin'i Kristy Jesosy. mbamin'ny voninahitra mandrakizay.

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

¹¹Mahatoky izao teny izao: Fa raha miara-maty aminy isika, dia hiara-belona aminy koa;

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

¹²raha miaritra isika, dia hiara-manjaka aminy; raha mandà Azy isika, Izy kosa handà antsika;

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

¹³fa na dia tsy matoky Azy aza isika, dia mbola mahatoky ihany Izy, fa tsy mahazo mandà ny tenany.

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.

¹⁴[Ny mety hataon'i Timoty noho ny fisian'ny mpampianatra sandoka] Izany zavatra izany no ampahatsiarovy ny olona, ka anaro mafy eo anatrehan'ny Tompo izy mba tsy hiady teny, satria tsy mahasoa akory izany, fa mamadika ny mpihaino,

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

¹⁵Mazotoa manolotra ny tenanao amin'Andriamanitra ho olona voazaha toetra, dia mpiasa tsy mahazo henatra, mizara tsara ny teny fahamarinana. [ Na: mamoaka tsara; na: mizotra mahitsy amin']

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

¹⁶Fa halaviro ny fibedibedena foana; fa mbola handroso amin'ny haratsiam-panahy ihany izy ireny,

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

¹⁷ary ny teniny dia handany tahaka ny aretina mihady; isan ireny Hymeneo sy Fileto, [ Gr. gangrena]

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

¹⁸izay nania tamin'ny marina ka milaza fa efa lasa sahady ny fitsanganan'ny maty, dia mamadika ny finoan'ny sasany.

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.”

¹⁹Kanefa ny fanorenana mafy nataon'Andriamanitra dia miorina tsara sady manana izao tombo-kase izao: "Ny Tompo mahalala ny azy", ary koa: "Aoka ny olona rehetra izay manonona ny anaran'ny Tompo hiala amin'ny ratsy."

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.

²⁰Fa ao an-trano lehibe, tsy dia fanaka volamena sy volafotsy ihany no ao, fa fanaka hazo sy tany koa, ny sasany homem-boninahitra, ary ny sasany halam-baraka.

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.

²¹Koa raha misy olona manadio ny tenany ho afaka amin'ireny, dia ho fanaka homem-boninahitra izy, efa nohamasinina ka mahasoa ho an'ny Tompo, voavoatra ho amin'ny asa tsara rehetra.

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

²²Fa mandosira ny filan'ny tanora fanahy; ary miezaha mitady fahamarinana, finoana, fitiavana, fihavanana amin'izay miantso ny Tompo amin'ny fo madio.

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

²³Fa mandava ny fanontaniana adaladala tsy misy antony, satria fantatrao fa mahatonga ady izany.

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

²⁴Ary tsy mety raha miady ny mpanompon'ny Tompo, fa ho malemy fanahy amin'ny olona rehetra, mahay mampianatra, mahalefitra,

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

²⁵mananatra ny mpanohitra amin'ny fahamoram-panahy; fa angamba Andriamanitra hanome azy fibebahana hahalalany tsara ny marina,ka hody ny sainy ho afaka amin'ny fandriky ny devoly, izay nanao azy sambo-belona hanao ny sitrapony. [ Na: ka hody ny sainy - ho afaka amin'ny fandriky ny devoly, izay nanao azy sambo-belona - hanao ny sitrapon'Andriamanitra; na: fa ataon'ny mpanompon'ny Tompo sambo-belona izay hanao ny sitrapon'Andriamanitra]

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

²⁶ka hody ny sainy ho afaka amin'ny fandriky ny devoly, izay nanao azy sambo-belona hanao ny sitrapony. [ Na: ka hody ny sainy - ho afaka amin'ny fandriky ny devoly, izay nanao azy sambo-belona - hanao ny sitrapon'Andriamanitra; na: fa ataon'ny mpanompon'ny Tompo sambo-belona izay hanao ny sitrapon'Andriamanitra]
