2 Timothy 2

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

1 فَتَقَوَّ أَنْتَ يَا ٱبْنِي بِٱلنِّعْمَةِ ٱلَّتِي فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ.

2 And the things that you have heard me say among many witnesses, entrust these to faithful men who will be qualified to teach others as well.

2 وَمَا سَمِعْتَهُ مِنِّي بِشُهُودٍ كَثِيرِينَ، أَوْدِعْهُ أُنَاسًا أُمَنَاءَ، يَكُونُونَ أَكْفَاءً أَنْ يُعَلِّمُوا آخَرِينَ أَيْضًا.

3 Join me in suffering, like a good soldier of Christ Jesus.

3 فَٱشْتَرِكْ أَنْتَ فِي ٱحْتِمَالِ ٱلْمَشَقَّاتِ كَجُنْدِيٍّ صَالِحٍ لِيَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ.

4 A soldier refrains from entangling himself in civilian affairs, in order to please the one who enlisted him.

4 لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ وَهُوَ يَتَجَنَّدُ يَرْتَبِكُ بِأَعْمَالِ ٱلْحَيَاةِ لِكَيْ يُرْضِيَ مَنْ جَنَّدَهُ.

5 Likewise, a competitor does not receive the crown unless he competes according to the rules.

5 وَأَيْضًا إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ يُجَاهِدُ، لَا يُكَلَّلُ إِنْ لَمْ يُجَاهِدْ قَانُونِيًّا.

6 The hardworking farmer should be the first to partake of the crops.

6 يَجِبُ أَنَّ ٱلْحَرَّاثَ ٱلَّذِي يَتْعَبُ، يَشْتَرِكُ هُوَ أَوَّلًا فِي ٱلْأَثْمَارِ.

7 Consider what I am saying, for the Lord will give you insight into all things.

7 ٱفْهَمْ مَا أَقُولُ. فَلْيُعْطِكَ ٱلرَّبُّ فَهْمًا فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ.

8 Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, descended from David, as proclaimed by my gospel,

8 اُذْكُرْ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحَ ٱلْمُقَامَ مِنَ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ، مِنْ نَسْلِ دَاوُدَ بِحَسَبِ إِنْجِيلِي،

9 for which I suffer to the extent of being chained like a criminal. But the word of God cannot be chained!

9 ٱلَّذِي فِيهِ أَحْتَمِلُ ٱلْمَشَقَّاتِ حَتَّى ٱلْقُيُودَ كَمُذْنِبٍ. لَكِنَّ كَلِمَةَ ٱللهِ لَا تُقَيَّدُ.

10 For this reason I endure all things for the sake of the elect, so that they too may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory.

10 لِأَجْلِ ذَلِكَ أَنَا أَصْبِرُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ لِأَجْلِ ٱلْمُخْتَارِينَ، لِكَيْ يَحْصُلُوا هُمْ أَيْضًا عَلَى ٱلْخَلَاصِ ٱلَّذِي فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ، مَعَ مَجْدٍ أَبَدِيٍّ.

11 This is a trustworthy saying: If we died with Him, we will also live with Him;

11 صَادِقَةٌ هِيَ ٱلْكَلِمَةُ: أَنَّهُ إِنْ كُنَّا قَدْ مُتْنَا مَعَهُ فَسَنَحْيَا أَيْضًا مَعَهُ.

12 if we endure, we will also reign with Him; if we deny Him, He will also deny us;

12 إِنْ كُنَّا نَصْبِرُ فَسَنَمْلِكُ أَيْضًا مَعَهُ. إِنْ كُنَّا نُنْكِرُهُ فَهُوَ أَيْضًا سَيُنْكِرُنَا.

13 if we are faithless, He remains faithful, for He cannot deny Himself.

13 إِنْ كُنَّا غَيْرَ أُمَنَاءَ فَهُوَ يَبْقَى أَمِينًا، لَنْ يَقْدِرَ أَنْ يُنْكِرَ نَفْسَهُ.

14 Remind the believers of these things, charging them before God to avoid quarreling over words, which succeeds only in leading the listeners to ruin.

14 فَكِّرْ بِهَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورِ، مُنَاشِدًا قُدَّامَ ٱلرَّبِّ أَنْ لَا يَتَمَاحَكُوا بِٱلْكَلَامِ. ٱلْأَمْرُ غَيْرُ ٱلنَّافِعِ لِشَيْءٍ، لِهَدْمِ ٱلسَّامِعِينَ.

15 Make every effort to present yourself approved to God, an unashamed workman who accurately handles the word of truth.

15 ٱجْتَهِدْ أَنْ تُقِيمَ نَفْسَكَ لِلهِ مُزَكًّى، عَامِلًا لَا يُخْزَى، مُفَصِّلًا كَلِمَةَ ٱلْحَقِّ بِٱلِٱسْتِقَامَةِ.

16 But avoid irreverent, empty chatter, which will only lead to more ungodliness,

16 وَأَمَّا ٱلْأَقْوَالُ ٱلْبَاطِلَةُ ٱلدَّنِسَةُ فَٱجْتَنِبْهَا، لِأَنَّهُمْ يَتَقَدَّمُونَ إِلَى أَكْثَرِ فُجُورٍ،

17 and the talk of such men will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus,

17 وَكَلِمَتُهُمْ تَرْعَى كَآكِلَةٍ. ٱلَّذِينَ مِنْهُمْ هِيمِينَايُسُ وَفِيلِيتُسُ،

18 who have deviated from the truth. They say that the resurrection has already occurred, and they undermine the faith of some.

18 ٱللَّذَانِ زَاغَا عَنِ ٱلْحَقِّ، قَائِلَيْنِ: «إِنَّ ٱلْقِيَامَةَ قَدْ صَارَتْ» فَيَقْلِبَانِ إِيمَانَ قَوْمٍ.

19 Nevertheless, God’s firm foundation stands, bearing this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord must turn away from iniquity.”

19 وَلَكِنَّ أَسَاسَ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّاسِخَ قَدْ ثَبَتَ، إِذْ لَهُ هَذَا ٱلْخَتْمُ: «يَعْلَمُ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ لَهُ». وَ«لْيَتَجَنَّبِ ٱلْإِثْمَ كُلُّ مَنْ يُسَمِّي ٱسْمَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ».

20 A large house contains not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay. Some indeed are for honorable use, but others are for common use.

20 وَلَكِنْ فِي بَيْتٍ كَبِيرٍ لَيْسَ آنِيَةٌ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ وَفِضَّةٍ فَقَطْ، بَلْ مِنْ خَشَبٍ وَخَزَفٍ أَيْضًا، وَتِلْكَ لِلْكَرَامَةِ وَهَذِهِ لِلْهَوَانِ.

21 So if anyone cleanses himself of what is unfit, he will be a vessel for honor: sanctified, useful to the Master, and prepared for every good work.

21 فَإِنْ طَهَّرَ أَحَدٌ نَفْسَهُ مِنْ هَذِهِ، يَكُونُ إِنَاءً لِلْكَرَامَةِ، مُقَدَّسًا، نَافِعًا لِلسَّيِّدِ، مُسْتَعَدًّا لِكُلِّ عَمَلٍ صَالِحٍ.

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

22 أَمَّا ٱلشَّهَوَاتُ ٱلشَّبَابِيَّةُ فَٱهْرُبْ مِنْهَا، وَٱتْبَعِ ٱلْبِرَّ وَٱلْإِيمَانَ وَٱلْمَحَبَّةَ وَٱلسَّلَامَ مَعَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ ٱلرَّبَّ مِنْ قَلْبٍ نَقِيٍّ.

23 But reject foolish and ignorant speculation, for you know that it breeds quarreling.

23 وَٱلْمُبَاحَثَاتُ ٱلْغَبِيَّةُ وَٱلسَّخِيفَةُ ٱجْتَنِبْهَا، عَالِمًا أَنَّهَا تُوَلِّدُ خُصُومَاتٍ،

24 And a servant of the Lord must not be quarrelsome, but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, and forbearing.

24 وَعَبْدُ ٱلرَّبِّ لَا يَجِبُ أَنْ يُخَاصِمَ، بَلْ يَكُونُ مُتَرَفِّقًا بِٱلْجَمِيعِ، صَالِحًا لِلتَّعْلِيمِ، صَبُورًا عَلَى ٱلْمَشَقَّاتِ،

25 He must gently reprove those who oppose him, in the hope that God may grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth.

25 مُؤَدِّبًا بِٱلْوَدَاعَةِ ٱلْمُقَاوِمِينَ، عَسَى أَنْ يُعْطِيَهُمُ ٱللهُ تَوْبَةً لِمَعْرِفَةِ ٱلْحَقِّ،

26 Then they will come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, who has taken them captive to his will.

26 فَيَسْتَفِيقُوا مِنْ فَخِّ إِبْلِيسَ إِذْ قَدِ ٱقْتَنَصَهُمْ لِإِرَادَتِهِ.
