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

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, according to the promise of the life which is 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 child: 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 as my forefathers did, with a pure conscience. How unceasing is my memory of you in my petitions, night and day

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

longing to see you, remembering your tears, 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.

having been reminded of the sincere faith that is in you; which lived first in your grandmother Lois, and your mother Eunice, and, I am persuaded, in you also.

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

For this cause, I remind you that you should stir up 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 didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.

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

Therefore don’t be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner; but endure hardship for the Good News 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 saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before times eternal,

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

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

11 ا لَّتي صِرتُ وَاعِظاً وَرَسُولاً وَمُعَلِّماً مِنْ أجلِ نَشْرِها،

For this, I was appointed as a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.

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 cause I also suffer these things. Yet I am not ashamed, for I know him whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to guard that which I have committed to him against that day.

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

Hold the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

14 ا حرُسِ الوَدِيعَةَ الثَّمِينَةَ بِالرُّوحِ القُدُسِ السّاكِنِ فِينا.

That good thing which was committed to you, guard through the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.

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

This you know, that all who are in Asia turned away from me; of 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.

May the Lord grant mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain,

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

but when he was in Rome, he sought me diligently, 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 the Lord’s mercy in that day); and in how many things he served at Ephesus, you know very well.
