1 H addaba, wiilkaygiiyow, ku xoogayso nimcada Ciise Masiix ku jirta.

So you, my son, be strong (strengthened inwardly) in the grace (spiritual blessing) that is in Christ Jesus.

2 O o waxyaalihii aad markhaatiyaal badan dhexdood igaga maqashay ku ammaanee niman aamin ah oo awooda inay kuwa kaleeto baraan.

And the which you have heard from me along with many witnesses, transmit and entrust to reliable and faithful men who will be competent and qualified to teach others also.

3 D hibaato ka qayb qaado sida askari wanaagsan oo Ciise Masiix.

Take your share of the hardships and suffering as a good (first-class) soldier of Christ Jesus.

4 N in askari ahi, si uu uga farxiyo kii isaga askari ahaanta u qortay, iskuma murgiyo axwaasha noloshan,

No soldier when in service gets entangled in the enterprises of life; his aim is to satisfy and please the one who enlisted him.

5 w eliba haddii nin galo cayaaraha loo loollamo, taaj looma saaro hadduusan sida qaynuunka ah u loollamin.

And if anyone enters competitive games, he is not crowned unless he competes lawfully (fairly, according to the rules laid down).

6 N inka beerta leh ee hawshoodaa waa inuu ahaadaa kan ugu horreeya oo midhaha ka qayb qaata.

the hard-working farmer who must be the first partaker of the fruits.

7 W axaan leeyahay ka fiirso, waayo, Rabbigu wuxuu ku siin doonaa wax walba garashadooda.

Think over these things I am saying, for the Lord will grant you full insight and understanding in everything.

8 B al xusuuso Ciise Masiix, kan kuwii dhintay ka soo sara kacay, oo Daa'uud ka soo farcamay, sida uu leeyahay injiilka aan idinku wacdiyo,

Constantly keep in mind Jesus Christ (the Messiah) risen from the dead, descended from David, according to the good news (the Gospel) that I preach.

9 k an aan u dhibtoodo oo aan u xidhnahay sidii mid wax xun falay; laakiinse erayga Ilaah ma xidhna.

For that I am suffering affliction and even wearing chains like a criminal. But the Word of God is not chained or imprisoned!

10 H addaba wax walba waxaan ugu adkaystaa kuwa la doortay aawadood inay iyana helaan badbaadada ammaanta weligeeda leh oo ku jirta Ciise Masiix.

Therefore I persevere and stand my ground with patience and endure everything for the sake of the elect, so that they too may obtain salvation which is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory.

11 H adalkanu waa dhab, Haddii aynu isaga la dhimannay, dee haddana waynu la noolaan doonnaa,

The saying is sure and worthy of confidence: If we have died with Him, we shall also live with Him.

12 h addii aynu adkaysanno, dee haddana wax baynu la xukumi doonnaa; haddii aynu isaga inkirnona, dee isna wuu ina diidi doonaa;

If we endure, we shall also reign with Him. If we deny and disown and reject Him, He will also deny and disown and reject us.

13 h addii aynu nahay aaminlaawayaal, isagu weli waa aamin; waayo, isagu isma burin karo. Kadigidda Muranka

If we are faithless, He remains true (faithful to His Word and His righteous character), for He cannot deny Himself.

14 W axyaalahan iyaga xusuusi oo Rabbiga hortiisa ku amar inayan hadal ku murmin, waayo, kaasu faa'iido ma leh, laakiinse kuwa maqla ayuu sii kharribaa.

Remind of these facts and charge them in the presence of the Lord to avoid petty controversy over words, which does no good but upsets and undermines the faith of the hearers.

15 K u dadaal inaad nafsaddaada loo bogay Ilaah siisid, adigoo ah shaqeeye aan dadka ka xishoonin, oo hadalka runta ah si hagaagsan u wada.

Study and be eager and do your utmost to present yourself to God approved (tested by trial), a workman who has no cause to be ashamed, correctly analyzing and accurately dividing the Word of Truth.

16 L aakiinse ka fogow hadalka aan micnaha lahayn, oo nijaasta ah, waayo, kuwaas waxay hore u sii wadi doonaan cibaadola'aanta,

But avoid all empty (vain, useless, idle) talk, for it will lead people into more and more ungodliness.

17 o o hadalkoodu sida waraabowgu u faafo ayuu u sii faafi doonaa; iyaga waxaa ka mid ah Humenayos iyo Fileetos,

And their teaching will eat its way like cancer or spread like gangrene. So it is with Hymenaeus and Philetus,

18 o o ah kuwa xagga runta ka gefay iyagoo leh, Sarakicidda waa horaa la soo dhaafay, oo qaar bay iimaanka ka halleeyaan.

Who have missed the mark and swerved from the truth by arguing that the resurrection has already taken place. They are undermining the faith of some.

19 H abase yeeshee aasaaskii adkaa oo Ilaah dhigay wuu taagan yahay, isagoo leh sumaddan, Rabbigu wuu yaqaan kuwiisa; oo mid kasta oo magaca Rabbiga soo qaada xaqnimola'aanta ha ka tago.

But the firm foundation of (laid by) God stands, sure and unshaken, bearing this seal (inscription): The Lord knows those who are His, and, Let everyone who names the name of the Lord give up all iniquity and stand aloof from it.

20 H addaba kuma jiraan guri weyn weelal dahab iyo lacag keliya ahi, laakiinse waxaa kaloo yaal kuwo qoryo iyo dhoobo ah; oo qaarkoodna wax sharaf leh ayay taraan, qaarna wax aan sharaf lahayn.

But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and earthenware, and some for honorable and noble and some for menial and ignoble.

21 S idaas daraaddeed haddii nin iska daahirsho kuwan, kaasu wuxuu ahaan doonaa weel sharaf leh, oo quduus laga dhigay, oo sayidka wax u tara, oo shuqul kasta oo wanaagsan loo diyaariyey.

So whoever cleanses himself will be a vessel set apart and useful for honorable and noble purposes, consecrated and profitable to the Master, fit and ready for any good work.

22 H addaba ka fogow damacyada xunxun ee dhallinyaronimada, laakiinse xaqnimo, iyo rumaysad, iyo jacayl, iyo nabad la raac kuwa Rabbiga uga yeedha qalbi daahir ah.

Shun youthful lusts and flee from them, and aim at and pursue righteousness (all that is virtuous and good, right living, conformity to the will of God in thought, word, and deed); faith, love, peace (harmony and concord with others) in fellowship with all, who call upon the Lord out of a pure heart.

23 I ska diid su'aalaha nacasnimada iyo jaahilnimada ah, adigoo og inay dagaallo dhalaan.

But refuse (shut your mind against, have nothing to do with) trifling (ill-informed, unedifying, stupid) controversies over ignorant questionings, for you know that they foster strife and breed quarrels.

24 A ddoonka Rabbigu waa inuusan ilaaqtamin, laakiin waa inuu ahaado mid dadka u wada roon, oo waxbaridda ku wanaagsan, oo dulqaadasho badan,

And the servant of the Lord must not be quarrelsome (fighting and contending). Instead, he must be kindly to everyone and mild-tempered; he must be a skilled and suitable teacher, patient and forbearing and willing to suffer wrong.

25 o o si qabow u edbiya kuwa isaga diida; mindhaa Ilaah waa siin doonaa toobadkeenid inay runtay gartaan,

He must correct his opponents with courtesy and gentleness, in the hope that God may grant that they will repent and come to know the Truth,

26 o o ay dabinka Ibliiska ka baxsadaan, iyagoo lagu qabtay si ay muraadkiisa u yeelaan.

And that they may come to their senses escape out of the snare of the devil, having been held captive by him, to do His will.
