2 Timothy 4

1 I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of His appearing and His kingdom:

1 أَطْلُبُ مِنْكَ فِي حَضْرَةِ اللهِ وَالْمَسِيحِ الَّذِي سَيَدِينُ الأَحْيَاءَ وَالأَمْوَاتَ، بِعَوْدَتِهِ الْعَلَنِيَّةِ وَمَلَكُوتِهِ،

2 Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and encourage with every form of patient instruction.

2 أَنْ تُنَادِيَ بِالْكَلِمَةِ مُنْشَغِلاً بِها كُلِّيًّا، فِي الْفُرَصِ الْمُنَاسِبَةِ وَغَيْرِ الْمُنَاسِبَةِ عَلَى السَّوَاءِ، وَأَنْ تُوَبِّخَ وَتُنْذِرَ وَتُشَجِّعَ بِكُلِّ صَبْرٍ فِي التَّعْلِيمِ.

3 For the time will come when men will not tolerate sound doctrine, but with itching ears they will gather around themselves teachers to suit their own desires.

3 فَإِنَّهُ سَيَأْتِي زَمَانٌ لَا يُطِيقُ النَّاسُ فِيهِ التَّعْلِيمَ الصَّحِيحَ، بَلْ تَبَعاً لِشَهْوَاتِهِمِ الْخَاصَّةِ يُكَدِّسُونَ لأَنْفُسِهِمْ مُعَلِّمِينَ (يَقُولُونَ لَهُمْ كَلاماً) يُدَاعِبُ الآذَانَ.

4 So they will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.

4 فَيُحَوِّلُونَ آذَانَهُمْ بَعِيداً عَنِ الحَقِّ، مُنْحَرِفِينَ إِلَى الْخُرَافَاتِ.

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

5 أَمَّا أَنْتَ، فَكُنْ بَصِيراً فِي كُلِّ أَمْرٍ، وَتَحَمَّلِ الْمَشَقَّاتِ، وَاعْمَلْ عَمَلَ الْمُبَشِّرِ، وَأَكْمِلْ خِدْمَتَكَ إِلَى التَّمَامِ!

6 For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time of my departure is at hand.

6 وَأَمَّا أَنَا، فَهَا إِنَّ حَيَاتِي بَدَأَتْ تُسْكَبُ سَكِيباً، وَمَوْعِدُ رَحِيلِي قَدِ اقْتَرَبَ.

7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.

7 قَدْ جَاهَدْتُ الْجِهَادَ الْحَسَنَ، قَدْ بَلَغْتُ نِهَايَةَ الشَّوْطِ، قَدْ حَافَظْتُ عَلَى الإِيمَانِ.

8 From now on there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but to all who crave His appearing.

8 إِنَّمَا يَنْتَظِرُنِي الآنَ إِكْلِيلُ الْبِرِّ الْمَحْفُوظُ لِي، وَالَّذِي سَيَهَبُهُ لِي الرَّبُّ الدَّيَّانُ الْعَادِلُ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ؛ وَلَنْ يُوْهَبَ لِي وَحْدِي، بَلْ أَيْضاً لِجَمِيعِ الَّذِينَ يُحِبُّونَ ظُهُورَهُ.

9 Make every effort to come to me quickly,

9 اجْتَهِدْ أَنْ تَأْتِيَ إِلَيَّ سَرِيعاً،

10 because Demas, in his love of this world, has deserted me and gone to Thessalonica. Crescens has gone to Galatia, and Titus to Dalmatia.

10 لأَنَّ دِيمَاسَ، إِذْ أَحَبَّ الْحَيَاةَ الْحَاضِرَةَ، تَرَكَنِي وَذَهَبَ إِلَى مَدِينَةِ تَسَالُونِيكِي. أَمَّا كِرِيسْكِيسُ، فَقَدْ ذَهَبَ إِلَى مُقَاطَعَةِ غَلاطِيَّةَ، وَتِيطُسُ إِلَى دَلْمَاطِيَّةَ

11 Only Luke is with me. Get Mark and bring him with you, because he is useful to me in the ministry.

11 وَلَمْ يَبْقَ مَعِي إِلَّا لُوقَا وَحْدَهُ. مُرَّ بِمَرْقُسَ وَأَحْضِرْهُ مَعَكَ، فَهُوَ يَنْفَعُنِي فِي الْخِدْمَةِ.

12 Tychicus, however, I have sent to Ephesus.

12 أَمَّا تِيخِيكُسُ، فَقَدْ أَرْسَلْتُهُ إِلَى مَدِينَةِ أَفَسُسَ.

13 When you come, bring the cloak that I left with Carpus at Troas, and my scrolls, especially the parchments.

13 وَعِنْدَمَا تَجِيءُ، أَحْضِرْ مَعَكَ رِدَائِي الَّذِي تَرَكْتُهُ عِنْدَ كَارْبُسَ فِي تَرُوَاسَ، وَكَذلِكَ كُتُبِي، وَبِخَاصَّةٍ الرُّقُوقَ الْمَخْطُوطَةَ.

14 Alexander the coppersmith did great harm to me. The Lord will repay him according to his deeds.

14 إِنَّ إِسْكَنْدَرَ النَّحَّاسَ قَدْ أَسَاءَ إِلَيَّ إِسَاءَاتٍ كَثِيرَةً، سَيُجَازِيهِ الرَّبُّ حَسَبَ أَعْمَالِهِ.

15 You too should beware of him, for he has vigorously opposed our message.

15 فَاحْتَرِسْ مِنْهُ أَنْتَ أَيْضاً، لأَنَّهُ قَاوَمَ كَلامَنَا مُقَاوَمَةً شَدِيدَةً.

16 At my first defense, no one stood with me, but everyone deserted me. May it not be charged against them.

16 عِنْدَمَا دَافَعْتُ عَنْ نَفْسِي فِي مُحَاكَمَتِي أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ، لَمْ يَقِفْ أَحَدٌ بِجَانِبِي، بَلْ تَرَكَنِي الْجَمِيعُ، لَا حَاسَبَهُمُ اللهُ عَلَى ذلِكَ!

17 But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, so that through me the message would be fully proclaimed, and all the Gentiles would hear it. So I was delivered from the mouth of the lion.

17 إِلَّا أَنَّ الرَّبَّ وَقَفَ بِجَانِبِي وَأَمَدَّنِي بِالْقُوَّةِ، لِكَيْ تَتِمَّ بِي الْمُنَادَاةُ بِالْبِشَارَةِ، فَيَسْمَعَهَا جَمِيعُ مَنْ هُمْ مِنَ الأُمَمِ؛ وَقَدْ نَجَوْتُ مِنْ فَمِ الأَسَدِ.

18 And the Lord will rescue me from every evil action and bring me safely into His heavenly kingdom. To Him be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

18 وَسَيُنَجِّينِي الرَّبُّ مِنْ كُلِّ عَمَلٍ شِرِّيرٍ وَيَحْفَظُنِي سَالِماً لِمَلَكُوتِهِ السَّمَاوِيِّ. فَلَهُ الْمَجْدُ إِلَى أَبَدِ الآبِدِينَ. آمِين!

19 Greet Prisca and Aquila, as well as the household of Onesiphorus.

19 سَلِّمْ عَلَى بِرِسْكِلا وَأَكِيلا، وَعَائِلَةِ أُونِيسِيفُورُسَ.

20 Erastus has remained at Corinth, and Trophimus I left sick in Miletus.

20 أَرَاسْتُسُ مَازَالَ فِي مَدِينَةِ كُورِنْثُوسَ. أَمَّا تُرُوفِيمُوسُ، فَقَدْ تَرَكْتُهُ فِي مِيلِيتُسَ مَرِيضاً.

21 Make every effort to come to me before winter. Eubulus sends you greetings, as do Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brothers.

21 اجْتَهِدْ أَنْ تَجِيءَ إِلَيَّ قَبْلَ حُلُولِ الشِّتَاءِ. يُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْكَ إِيُوبُولُسُ، وَبُودِيسُ، وَلِينُوسُ، وَكَلُودِيَا، وَالإِخْوَةُ جَمِيعاً.

22 The Lord be with your spirit. Grace be with you all.

22 لِيَكُنِ الرَّبُّ مَعَ رُوحِكَ، وَلْتَكُنِ النِّعْمَةُ مَعَكُمْ!
