1 م ِنْ بُولُسَ الَّذي هُوَ رَسُولٌ لِلمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ بِإرادَةِ اللهِ، وَبِهَدَفِ إعلانِ وَعدِ الحُصُولِ عَلَى الحَياةِ فِي المَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ،

Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, according to the promise of life in Christ Jesus,

2 إ لَى ابنِيَ الحَبِيبِ تِيمُوثاوُسَ. لِتَكُنْ لَكَ نِعمَةٌ وَرَحمَةٌ وَسَلامٌ مِنَ اللهِ الآبِ، وَمِنَ المَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ رَبِّنا. شُكرٌ وَتَشجِيع

To Timothy, my beloved son: Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

3 أ نا أشكُرُ اللهَ الَّذِي أعبُدُهُ بِضَمِيرٍ طاهِرٍ، كَما فَعَلَ أجدادِي. أشكُرُهُ لَيلاً وَنَهاراً، كُلَّما ذَكَرتُكَ فِي صَلَواتِي.

I thank God, whom I serve with a clear conscience the way my forefathers did, as I constantly remember you in my prayers night and day,

4 أ تَذَكَّرُ دُمُوعَكَ، فَأشتاقُ إلَى لِقائِكَ لِكَيْ أمتَلِئَ بِالفَرَحِ.

longing to see you, even as I recall your tears, so that I may be filled with joy.

5 و َأتَذَكَّرُ إيمانَكَ المُخلِصَ الَّذِي كانَ أوَّلاً فِي جَدَّتِكَ لُوئِيْسَ وَأُمِّكَ أفنِيكِي. وَأنا مُتَيَقِّنٌ أنَّهُ فِيكَ أيضاً.

For I am mindful of the sincere faith within you, which first dwelt in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am sure that it is in you as well.

6 و َبِسَبَبِ هَذا، أُذَكِّرُكَ بِأنْ تُبقي نارَ مَوهِبَةُ اللهِ دائِمَةَ الاتِّقادِ، تِلكَ المَوهِبَةَ الَّتِي نِلتَها عِندَما وَضَعتُ يَدَيَّ عَلَيكَ.

For this reason I remind you to kindle afresh the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.

7 ف َالرُّوحُ الَّذِي أعطانا إيّاهُ اللهُ لا يَبعَثُ فِينا الجُبنَ، بَلْ يَمُدُّنا بِالقُوَّةِ وَالمَحَبَّةِ وَضَبطِ النَّفسِ.

For God has not given us a spirit of timidity, but of power and love and discipline.

8 ف َلا تَستَحِ بِالشَّهادَةِ لِرَبِّنا، أوْ بِي أنا أسِيرُهُ، بَلْ شارِكنِي فِي احتِمالِ المَشَقّاتِ مِنْ أجلِ البِشارَةِ، مُستَمِدّاً القُوَّةَ مِنَ اللهِ.

Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord or of me His prisoner, but join with me in suffering for the gospel according to the power of God,

9 ف َهُوَ الَّذِي خَلَّصَنا وَدَعانا إلَى حَياةٍ مُكَرَّسَةٍ لَهُ. وَلَمْ يَكُنْ هَذا بِفَضلِ أيِّ عَمَلٍ قُمنا بِهِ، بَلْ بِناءً عَلَى قَصدِهِ وَنِعمَتِهِ الَّتِي وَهَبَنا إيّاها فِي المَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ قَبلَ بَدءِ الزَّمَنِ.

who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was granted us in Christ Jesus from all eternity,

10 ل َكِنَّ نِعمَتَهُ هَذِهِ أُظهِرَتْ لَنا مَعَ مَجِيءِ المَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ، مُخَلِّصِنا. فَالمَسِيحُ هُوَ الَّذِي أبْطَلَ المَوتَ، وَكَشَفَ الحَياةَ وَالخُلُودَ بِبِشارَتِهِ المُفْرِحَةِ

but now has been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel,

11 ا لَّتي صِرتُ وَاعِظاً وَرَسُولاً وَمُعَلِّماً مِنْ أجلِ نَشْرِها،

for which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle and a teacher.

12 و َمِنْ أجلِها أُعاني ما أُعانيِ. غَيْرَ أنِّي لَستُ خَجِلاً، لِأنِّي أعرِفُ مَنْ آمَنتُ بِهِ، وَأنا مُتَيَقِّنٌ أنَّهُ قادِرٌ أنْ يَحفَظَ ما استَودَعَنِي إيّاهُ، حَتَّى يَحِينَ ذَلِكَ اليَومُ.

For this reason I also suffer these things, but I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed and I am convinced that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him until that day.

13 ف َتَمَسَّكْ بِخَطِّ التَّعلِيمِ السَّلِيمِ الَّذِي سَمِعْتَهُ مِنِّي. وَلْيَكُنْ ذَلِكَ مَصحُوباً بِالإيمانِ وَالمَحَبَّةِ اللَّذَيْنِ لَنا فِي المَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ.

Retain the standard of sound words which you have heard from me, in the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.

14 ا حرُسِ الوَدِيعَةَ الثَّمِينَةَ بِالرُّوحِ القُدُسِ السّاكِنِ فِينا.

Guard, through the Holy Spirit who dwells in us, the treasure which has been entrusted to you.

15 ف َأنتَ تَعلَمُ أنَّ جَمِيعَ الَّذِينَ مِنْ مُقاطَعَةِ أسِيّا هَجَرُونِي، بِمَنْ فِيهِمْ فِيجَلُّسُ وَهَرْمُوجانِسُ.

You are aware of the fact that all who are in Asia turned away from me, among whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.

16 أ مّا أُونسِيفُورَسُ، فَإنِّي أطلُبُ أنْ يُعطِيَ الرَّبُّ رَحمَةً لِعائِلَتِهِ، لِأنَّهُ كانَ مَصدَرَ عَزاءٍ لِي فِي أوقاتٍ كَثِيرَةٍ. كَما أنَّهُ لَمْ يَخجَلْ مِنِّي لِكَونِي فِي السِّجنِ.

The Lord grant mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me and was not ashamed of my chains;

17 ب َلْ عَلَى العَكسِ مِنْ ذَلِكَ، فَحِينَ وَصَلَ إلَى رُوما، فَتَّشَ عَنِّي بِكُلِّ جِدٍّ حَتَّى وَجَدَنِي.

but when he was in Rome, he eagerly searched for me and found me—

18 ل ِهَذا أسألُ الرَّبَّ أنْ يُعطِيَهُ رَحمَةً فِي ذَلِكَ اليَومِ! فَأنتَ تَعرِفُ كَيفَ كانَ يَخدِمُنِي عِندَما كُنتُ فِي أفَسُسَ.

the Lord grant to him to find mercy from the Lord on that day—and you know very well what services he rendered at Ephesus.
