2 Timothy 4

NEW JERUSALEM	STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH
1 Before God and before Christ Jesus who is to be judge of the living and the dead, I charge you, in thename of his appearing and of his kingdom:	1 לָכֵן אֲנִי מֵעִיד בְּךָ נֶגֶד הָאֱלֹהִים וְנֶגֶד אֲדֹנֵינוּ יֵשׁוּעַ הַמָּשִׁיחַ הַבָּא לִשְׁפֹּט אֶת־הַחַיִּים וְאֶת־הַמֵּתִים בְּהוֹפָעָתוֹ וּבְמַלְכוּתוֹ
2 proclaim the message and, welcome or unwelcome, insist on it. Refute falsehood, correct error, giveencouragement -- but do all with patience and with care to instruct.	2 הַכְרֵז אֶת־הַדָּבָר וְהַתְמֵד בֵּין בְּעִתּוֹ בֵּין שֶׁלֹּא בְעִתּוֹ הוֹכַח וּגְעַר וְהַזְהֵר בְּכָל־אֹרֶךְ־רוּחַ וְהוֹרָאָה
3 The time is sure to come when people wil not accept sound teaching, but their ears wil be itching foranything new and they wil col ect themselves a whole series of teachers according to their own tastes;	3 כִּי־בוֹא תָבֹא הָעֵת אֲשֶׁר לֹא־יָכִילוּ אֶת־הַלֶּקַח הַבָּרִיא כִּי אִם־כְּאַוַּת נַפְשָׁם יִקְבְּצוּ לָהֶם מוֹרִים לְשַׁעֲשֻׁעֵי אָזְנָיִם
4 and then they will shut their ears to the truth and wil turn to myths.	4 וְיַטּוּ אָזְנֵיהֶם מִן־הָאֱמֶת וְיִפְנוּ אֶל־הַהַגָּדוֹת
5 But you must keep steady al the time; put up with suffering; do the work of preaching the gospel; fulfilthe service asked of you.	5 אֲבָל אַתָּה הֱיֵה עֵר בַּכֹּל סְבֹל הָרָעוֹת וַעֲשֵׂה מְלֶאכֶת הַמְבַשֵּׂר וּמַלֵּא אֶת־שֵׁרוּתֶךָ
6 As for me, my life is already being poured away as a libation, and the time has come for me to depart.	6 כִּי עַתָּה זֶה אֻסַּךְ נָסֶךְ וְעֵת פְּטִירָתִי הִגִּיעָה
7 I have fought the good fight to the end; I have run the race to the finish; I have kept the faith;	7 הַמִּלְחָמָה הַטּוֹבָה נִלְחָמְתִּי אֶת־הַמְּרוּצָה הִשְׁלַמְתִּי אֶת־הָאֱמוּנָה שָׁמָרְתִּי
8 al there is to come for me now is the crown of uprightness which the Lord, the upright judge, wil give tome on that Day; and not only to me but to al those who have longed for his appearing.	8 וּמֵעַתָּה שָׁמוּר לִי כֶּתֶר הַצְּדָקָה אֲשֶׁר בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא יִתְּנֶנּוּ לִי הָאָדוֹן הַשֹּׁפֵט הַצַּדִּיק וְלֹא־לִי לְבַדִּי כִּי־גַם לְכָל־אֹהֲבֵי הוֹפָעָתוֹ
9 Make every effort to come and see me as soon as you can.	9 חוּשָׁה לָבוֹא אֵלַי בִּמְהֵרָה
10 As it is, Demas has deserted me for love of this life and gone to Thessalonica, Crescens has gone toGalatia and Titus to Dalmatia;	10 כִּי־דִימָס עֲזָבַנִי בְּאַהֲבָתוֹ אֶת־הָעוֹלָם הַזֶּה וַיֵּלֶךְ־לוֹ לְתַסְלוֹנִיקִי וּקְרִיסְקִיס הָלַךְ לְגָלַטְיָא וְטִיטוֹס לְדַלְמָטְיָא
11 only Luke is with me. Bring Mark with you; I find him a useful helper in my work.	11 וְלוּקָס הוּא לְבַדּוֹ עִמָּדִי קַח אֶת־מַרְקוֹס וַהֲבִיאֵהוּ אִתָּךְ כִּי יוֹעִיל־לִּי לִמְאֹד לָעֲבוֹדָה
12 I have sent Tychicus to Ephesus.	12 אֶת־טוּכִיקוֹס שָׁלַחְתִּי לְאֶפְסוֹס
13 When you come, bring the cloak I left with Carpus in Troas, and the scrol s, especially the parchmentones.	13 אֶת־הַמְּעִיל שֶׁהִנַּחְתִּי בִטְרוֹאַס אֵצֶל קַרְפּוֹס הֲבִיאֶהוּ אִתְּךָ בְּבוֹאֶךָ וְאַף אֶת־הַסְּפָרִים וּבִפְרָט אֶת־הַמְּגִלּוֹת שֶׁל־קְלָף
14 Alexander the coppersmith has done me a lot of harm; the Lord wil repay him as his deeds deserve.	14 אֲלֶכְּסַנְדֶּר חָרַשׁ הַנְּחשֶׁת עָשָׂה לִי רָעוֹת רַבּוֹת יְשַׁלֶּם־לוֹ יְהוָֹה כְּמַעֲשָׂיו
15 Be on your guard against him yourself, because he has been bitterly contesting everything that we say.	15 וְגַם־אַתָּה הִשָּׁמֶר־לְךָ מִמֶּנּוּ כִּי־מָרוֹ מָרָה אֶת־דְּבָרֵינוּ
16 The first time I had to present my defence, no one came into court to support me. Every one of themdeserted me -- may they not be held accountable for it.	16 בְּהִצְטַדְּקוּתִי הָרִאשׁוֹנָה לֹא־הָיָה אִישׁ לְעָזְרֵנִי כִּי־כֻלָּם עֲזָבוּנִי אַל־יֵחָשֵׁב לָהֶם עָוֺן
17 But the Lord stood by me and gave me power, so that through me the message might be ful yproclaimed for al the gentiles to hear; and so I was saved from the lion's mouth.	17 אֲבָל הָאָדוֹן הוּא עֲזָרַנִי וְחִזְּקַנִי לְמַעַן תֻּשְׁלַם עַל־יָדִי הַבְּשׂוֹרָה וְיִשְׁמָעוּהָ כָּל־הַגּוֹיִם וָאֶנָּצֵל מִפִּי אַרְיֵה
18 The Lord will rescue me from all evil attempts on me, and bring me safely to his heavenly kingdom. Tohim be glory for ever and ever. Amen.	18 וְיַצִּילֵנִי הָאָדוֹן מִכָּל־מַעֲשֶׂה רָע וְיוֹשִׁיעֵנִי אֶל־מַלְכוּתוֹ שֶׁבַּשָּׁמַיִם לוֹ הַכָּבוֹד לְעוֹלְמֵי עוֹלָמִים אָמֵן
19 Greetings to Prisca and Aquila, and the family of Onesiphorus.	19 שְׁאַל לִשְׁלוֹם פְּרִיסְקָה וַעֲקִילַס וּבֵית אֳנִיסִיפוֹרוֹס
20 Erastus stayed behind at Corinth, and I left Trophimus il at Miletus.	20 אֲרַסְטוֹס נִשְׁאַר בְּקוֹרִנְתּוֹס וְאֶת־טְרוֹפִימוֹס הִנַּחְתִּי חוֹלֶה בְּמִילֵטוֹס
21 Make every effort to come before the winter. Greetings to you from Eubulus, Pudens, Linus, Claudiaand all the brothers.	21 חוּשָׁה לָבוֹא לִפְנֵי הַסְּתָיו אוֹבוּלוֹס וּפוּדִיס וְלִינוֹס וּקְלוֹדְיָה וְהָאַחִים כֻּלָּם שֹׁאֲלִים לִשְׁלוֹמֶךָ
22 The Lord be with your spirit. Grace be with you.	22 אֲדֹנֵינוּ יֵשׁוּעַ הַמָּשִׁיחַ יְהִי עִם־רוּחֶךָ הַחֶסֶד עִמָּכֶם אָמֵן
