Timotheum Ii 1
1 Paulus Apostolus Iesu Christi per voluntatem Dei, secundum promissionem vitae, quae est in Christo Iesu:
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus,
2 Timotheo charissimo filio, gratia, misericordia et pax a Deo Patre nostro, et Christo Iesu Domino nostro.
to Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 Gratias ago Deo meo, cui servio a progenitoribus meis in conscientia pura, quod sine intermissione habeam tui memoriam in orationibus meis, nocte ac die
I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with pure conscience, as without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day,
4 desiderans te videre, memor lacrymarum tuarum, ut gaudio implear,
longing to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy;
5 recordationem accipiens eius fidei, quae est in te non ficta, quae et habitavit primum in avia tua Loide, et matre tua Eunice, certus sum autem quod et in te.
when I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that it dwelleth in thee also.
6 Propter quam causam admoneo te ut resuscites gratiam Dei, quae est in te per impositionem manuum mearum.
For which cause I remind thee to stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the laying on of my hands;
7 Non enim dedit nobis Deus spiritum timoris: sed virtutis, et dilectionis, et sobrietatis.
for God gave us not the spirit of cowardice, but of power, and of love, and of admonition.
8 Noli itaque erubescere testimonium Domini nostri, neque me vinctum eius: sed collabora Evangelio secundum virtutem Dei:
Be not then ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner; but endure hardship with me for the gospel through the power of God,
9 qui nos liberavit, et vocavit vocatione sua sancta, non secundum opera nostra, sed secundum propositum suum, et gratiam, quae data est nobis in Christo Iesu ante tempora saecularia. (aiōnios g166)
who saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and the grace which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began, (aiōnios g166)
10 Manifestata est autem nunc per illuminationem Salvatoris nostri Iesu Christi, qui destruxit quidem mortem, illuminavit autem vitam, et incorruptionem per Evangelium:
but is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Christ Jesus, who abolished death, and brought life and incorruption to light through the gospel,
11 in quo positus sum ego praedicator, et Apostolus, et magister Gentium.
for which I was appointed a herald, and an apostle, and a teacher of the gentiles.
12 Ob quam causam etiam haec patior, sed non confundor. Scio enim cui credidi, et certus sum quia potens est depositum meum servare in illum diem.
For which cause I suffer also these things. But I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which he hath committed to me unto that day.
13 Formam habe sanorum verborum, quae a me audisti in fide, et in dilectione in Christo Iesu.
Hold the pattern of sound words, which thou heardest from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus;
14 Bonum depositum custodi per Spiritum sanctum, qui habitat in nobis.
the good trust committed to thee keep through the Holy Spirit which dwelleth in us.
15 Scis enim hoc, quod aversi sunt a me omnes, qui in Asia sunt, ex quibus est Philetus, et Hermogenes.
Thou knowest this, that all those in Asia turned away from me, of whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.
16 Det misericordiam Dominus Onesiphori domui: quia saepe me refrigeravit, et catenam meam non erubuit:
The Lord give mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, because he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain; but on the contrary,
17 sed cum Romam venisset, solicite me quaesivit, et invenit.
when he arrived at Rome, he sought me out very diligently, and found me.
18 Det illi Dominus invenire misericordiam a Deo in illa die. Et quanta Ephesi ministravit mihi, tu melius nosti.
The Lord grant to him that he may find mercy from the Lord in that day: and what services he rendered me at Ephesus, thou knowest very well.
