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:

¹Eo anatrehan'Andriamanitra sy Kristy Jesosy, Izay hitsara ny velona sy ny maty, ary noho ny amin'ny fisehoany sy ny fanjakany, no ananarako anao mafy:

²preach the word; be urgent in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with all patience and teaching.

²mitoria ny teny, mazotoa, na amin'ny fotoana, na tsy amin'ny fotoana, mandrese lahatra, mamporisiha, mananara mafy amin'ny fahari-po sy ny fampianarana rehetra.

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;

³Fa ho avy ny andro izay tsy hahazakan'ny olona ny fampianarana tsy misy kilema; fa hangidihidy sofina izy, dia hamory mpampianatra ho azy araka ny filany; [ Gr. salama]

⁴and will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn aside to fables.

⁴ary hampiala ny sofiny amin'ny teny marina tokoa izy ka hivily ho amin'ny anganongano.

⁵But you be sober in all things, suffer hardship, do the work of an evangelist, and fulfill your ministry.

⁵Fa ianao kosa mahonona tena amin'ny zavatra rehetra, miareta fahoriana, ataovy ny asan'ny evanjelista, tanteraho ny fanompoanao.

⁶For I am already being offered, and the time of my departure has come.

⁶Fa izaho dia efa hatolotra sahady, ary efa mba akaiky ny andro fialàko. [ Gr. haidina ho fanatitra aidina]

⁷I have fought the good fight. I have finished the course. I have kept the faith.

⁷Efa niady ny ady tsara aho; nahatanteraka ny fihazakazahana aho; nitahiry ny finoana aho;

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.

⁸hatrizao dia tehirizina ho ahy ny satro-boninahitry ny fahamarinana, izay homen ny Tompo, Mpitsara marina, ho ahy amin izay andro izay; ary tsy ho ahy ihany, fa ho an'izay rehetra tia ny fisehoany koa.

⁹Be diligent to come to me soon,

⁹[Fanaovam-beloma sy hafatra] Mazotoa hankatỳ amiko faingana ianao;

¹⁰for Demas left me, having loved this present world, and went to Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, and Titus to Dalmatia.

¹⁰fa Demasy efa nandao ahy, satria tia izao fiainana izao izy ka lasa nankany Tesalonika; Kreska nankany Galatia, Titosy nankany Dalmatia.

¹¹Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with you, for he is useful to me for service.

¹¹Lioka ihany no ato amiko. Alao Marka, ka ento miaraka aminao, fa mahasoa ahy amin'ny fanompoana izy.

¹²But I sent Tychicus to Ephesus.

¹²Tykiko dia nirahiko ho any Efesosy.

¹³Bring the cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus when you come, and the books, especially the parchments.

¹³Ilay kapôty navelako tany Troasy tao amin'i Karpo, dia ento, raha mankaty ianao, ary ny boky, indrindra fa ireo boky hoditra.

¹⁴Alexander, the coppersmith, did much evil to me. The Lord will repay him according to his works,

¹⁴Aleksandro, mpanefy varahina, efa nanisy ratsy ahy be loatra; ny Tompo hamaly azy araka ny asany;

¹⁵of whom you also must beware; for he greatly opposed our words.

¹⁵tandremonao ihany izy iny, fa nanohitra fatratra ny teninay.

¹⁶At my first defense, no one came to help me, but all left me. May it not be held against them.

¹⁶Tamin'ny nandaharako voalohany hanala tsiny ny tenako dia tsy nisy nomba ahy, fa nandao ahy avokoa izy rehetra (aza mba isaina ho helony anie izany).

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.

¹⁷Kanefa ny Tompo nitsangana teo anilako ka nampahery ahy, mba hotanterahina tokoa amin'ny ataoko ny fitorian-teny, ary mba ho ren'ny jentilisa rehetra izany; ary izaho novonjena tao am-bavan'ny liona.

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.

¹⁸Ary ny Tompo hanafaka ahy amin'ny asa ratsy rehetra ka hamonjy ahy ho any amin'ny fanjakany any an-danitra; ho Azy anie ny voninahitra mandrakizay mandrakizay. Amena.

¹⁹Greet Prisca and Aquila, and the house of Onesiphorus.

¹⁹Manaova veloma amin'i Prisila sy Akoila mbamin'ny ankohonan'i Onesiforosy;

²⁰Erastus remained at Corinth, but I left Trophimus at Miletus sick.

²⁰Erasto nitoetra tany Korinto; fa Trofimo nilaozako tany Mileto, satria narary izy.

²¹Be diligent to come before winter. Eubulus salutes you, as do Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brothers.

²¹Mazotoa hankatỳ alohan'ny ririnina. Manao veloma anao Eobolo sy Poda sy Lino sy Klaodia mbamin'ny rahalahy rehetra.Ho amin'ny fanahinao anie ny Tompo. Ho aminareo anie ny fahasoavana.

²²The Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.

²²Ho amin'ny fanahinao anie ny Tompo. Ho aminareo anie ny fahasoavana.
