Seconda lettera a Timoteo 4

NOVA VULGATA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Testificor coram Deo et Christo Iesu, qui iudicaturus est vivos ac mortuos, per adventum ipsius et regnum eius:	1 I testify before God, and before Jesus Christ, who shall judge the living and the dead through his return and his kingdom:
2 praedica verbum, insta opportune, importune, argue, increpa, obsecra in omni longanimitate et doctrina.	2 that you should preach the word urgently, in season and out of season: reprove, entreat, rebuke, with all patience and doctrine.
3 Erit enim tempus, cum sanam doctrinam non sustinebunt, sed ad sua desideria coacervabunt sibi magistros prurientes auribus,	3 For there shall be a time when they will not endure sound doctrine, but instead, according to their own desires, they will gather to themselves teachers, with itching ears,
4 et a veritate quidem auditum avertent, ad fabulas autem convertentur.	4 and certainly, they will turn their hearing away from the truth, and they will be turned toward fables.
5 Tu vero vigila in omnibus, labora, opus fac evangelistae, ministerium tuum imple.	5 But as for you, truly, be vigilant, laboring in all things. Do the work of an Evangelist, fulfilling your ministry. Show self-restraint.
6 Ego enim iam delibor, et tempus meae resolutionis instat.	6 For I am already being worn away, and the time of my dissolution presses close.
7 Bonum certamen certavi, cursum consummavi, fidem servavi;	7 I have fought the good fight. I have completed the course. I have preserved the faith.
8 in reliquo reposita est mihi iustitiae corona, quam reddet mihi Dominus in illa die, iustus iudex, non solum autem mihi sed et omnibus, qui diligunt adventum eius.	8 As for the remainder, a crown of justice has been reserved for me, one which the Lord, the just judge, will render to me in that day, and not only to me, but also to those who look forward to his return. Hurry to return to me soon.
9 Festina venire ad me cito.	9 For Demas has abandoned me, out of love for this age, and he has departed for Thessalonica.
10 Demas enim me dereliquit diligens hoc saeculum et abiit Thessalonicam, Crescens in Galatiam, Titus in Dalmatiam;	10 Crescens has gone to Galatia; Titus to Dalmatia.
11 Lucas est mecum solus. Marcum assumens adduc tecum, est enim mihi utilis in ministerium.	11 Luke alone is with me. Take Mark and bring him with you; for he is useful to me in the ministry.
12 Tychicum autem misi Ephesum.	12 But Tychicus I have sent to Ephesus.
13 Paenulam, quam reliqui Troade apud Carpum, veniens affer, et libros, maxime autem membranas.	13 When you return, bring with you the supplies that I left with Carpus at Troas, and the books, but especially the parchments.
14 Alexander aerarius multa mala mihi ostendit. Reddet ei Dominus secundum opera eius;	14 Alexander the coppersmith has shown me much evil; the Lord will repay him according to his works.
15 quem et tu devita, valde enim restitit verbis nostris.	15 And you should also avoid him; for he has strongly resisted our words.
16 In prima mea defensione nemo mihi affuit, sed omnes me dereliquerunt. Non illis reputetur;	16 At my first defense, no one stood by me, but everyone abandoned me. May it not be counted against them!
17 Dominus autem mihi astitit et confortavit me, ut per me praedicatio impleatur, et audiant omnes gentes; et liberatus sum de ore leonis.	17 But the Lord stood with me and strengthened me, so that through me the preaching would be accomplished, and so that all the Gentiles would hear. And I was freed from the mouth of the lion.
18 Liberabit me Dominus ab omni opere malo et salvum faciet in regnum suum caeleste; cui gloria in saecula saeculorum. Amen.	18 The Lord has freed me from every evil work, and he will accomplish salvation by his heavenly kingdom. To him be glory forever and ever. Amen.
19 Saluta Priscam et Aquilam et Onesiphori domum.	19 Greet Prisca, and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus.
20 Erastus remansit Corinthi, Trophimum autem reliqui infirmum Mileti.	20 Erastus remained at Corinth. And Trophimus I left sick at Miletus.
21 Festina ante hiemem venire. Salutat te Eubulus et Pudens et Linus et Claudia et fratres omnes.	21 Hurry to arrive before winter. Eubulus, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brothers greet you.
22 Dominus cum spiritu tuo. Gratia vobiscum.	22 May the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. May grace be with you. Amen.
