1 פּוֹלוֹס שְׁלִיחַ יֵשׁוּעַ הַמָּשִׁיחַ בִּרְצוֹן הָאֱלֹהִים לְפִי הַבְטָחַת הַחַיִּים אֲשֶׁר בְּיֵשׁוּעַ הַמָּשִׁיחַ	1 Paul, an Apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, in accord with the promise of the life which is in Christ Jesus,
2 אֶל־טִימוֹתִיּוֹס בְּנוֹ הֶחָבִיב חֶסֶד וְרַחֲמִים וְשָׁלוֹם מֵאֵת אֱלֹהִים אָבִינוּ וּמֵאֵת הַמָּשִׁיחַ יֵשׁוּעַ אֲדֹנֵינוּ	2 to Timothy, most beloved son. Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and from Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 מוֹדֶה אֲנִי לֵאלֹהִים אֲשֶׁר אֲנִי עֹבֵד אוֹתוֹ מִימֵי אֲבוֹתַי בְּרוּחַ טְהוֹרָה כִּי־תָמִיד אֶזְכָּרְךָ בִּתְפִלּוֹתַי לַיְלָה וְיוֹמָם	3 I give thanks to God, whom I serve, as my forefathers did, with a pure conscience. For without ceasing I hold the remembrance of you in my prayers, night and day,
4 וְנִכְסַפְתִּי לִרְאוֹתְךָ בְּזָכְרִי אֶת־דִּמְעוֹתֶיךָ לְמַעַן אֶמָּלֵא שִׂמְחָה	4 desiring to see you, recalling your tears so as to be filled with joy,
5 כִּי־בָאתִי לִזְכֹּר אֶת־אֱמוּנָתְךָ בִּלְתִּי־צְבוּעָה שֶׁשָּׁכְנָה כְבָר בְּלוֹאִיס זְקֵנָתְךָ וּבְאַבְנִיקָה אִמֶּךָ וּמֻבְטָח אֲנִי כִּי תִשְׁכֹּן גַּם־בָּךְ	5 calling to mind the same faith, which is in you unfeigned, which also first dwelt in your grandmother, Lois, and in your mother, Eunice, and also, I am certain, in you.
6 עַל־כֵּן אַזְכִּירְךָ שֶׁתְּעוֹרֵר אֶת־מַתְּנַת הָאֱלֹהִים הַנְּתוּנָה לְךָ בִּסְמִיכַת יָדִי	6 Because of this, I admonish you to revive the grace of God, which is in you by the imposition of my hands.
7 כִּי הָאֱלֹהִים לֹא־נָתַן לָנוּ רוּחַ אֵימָה כִּי אִם־רוּחַ גְּבוּרָה וְאַהֲבָה וּמוּסָר	7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of virtue, and of love, and of self-restraint.
8 לָכֵן אַל־תֵּבוֹשׁ לֹא מֵעֵדוּת אֲדֹנֵינוּ וְלֹא מִמֶּנִּי אֲסִירוֹ כִּי אִם־תִּסְבֹּל הָרָעוֹת גַּם־אַתָּה כָמוֹנִי עַל־הַבְּשׂוֹרָה כְּפִי־כֹחַ הָאֱלֹהִים	8 And so, do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me, his prisoner. Instead, collaborate with the Gospel in accord with the virtue of God,
9 אֲשֶׁר־הוּא הוֹשִׁיעָנוּ וּקְרָאָנוּ בִּקְרִיאָה קְדוֹשָׁה לֹא לְפִי מַעֲשֵׂינוּ כִּי אִם־לְפִי עֲצָתוֹ וְחַסְדּוֹ הַנִּתָּן לָנוּ בַּמָּשִׁיחַ יֵשׁוּעַ לִפְנֵי יְמוֹת עוֹלָם	9 who has freed us and has called us to his holy vocation, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus, before the ages of time.
10 וְעַתָּה נִגְלָה בְּהֵרָאוֹת מוֹשִׁיעֵנוּ יֵשׁוּעַ הַמָּשִׁיחַ אֲשֶׁר בִּטֵּל אֶת־הַמָּוֶת וַיּוֹצֵא לָאוֹר עַל־יְדֵי הַבְּשׂוֹרָה אֶת־הַחַיִּים וְאֵת אֲשֶׁר־אֵינֶנּוּ עוֹבֵר	10 And this has now been made manifest by the illumination of our Savior Jesus Christ, who certainly has destroyed death, and who has also illuminated life and incorruption through the Gospel.
11 אֲשֶׁר הָפְקַדְתִּי לִהְיוֹת לָהּ כָּרוֹז וְשָׁלִיחַ וּמוֹרֵה הַגּוֹיִם	11 Of this Gospel, I have been appointed a preacher, and an Apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.
12 וּבַעֲבוּר זֹאת אֶסְבֹּל כָּאֵלֶּה וְלֹא אֵבוֹשׁ כִּי־יוֹדֵעַ אָנֹכִי בְּמִי הֶאֱמַנְתִּי וּמֻבְטָח אָנֹכִי כִּי־הַיְכֹלֶת לוֹ לִשְׁמֹר אֶת־פִּקְדוֹנִי עַד־הַיּוֹם הַהוּא	12 For this reason, I also suffer these things. But I am not confounded. For I know in whom I have believed, and I am certain that he has the power to preserve what was entrusted to me, unto that day.
13 הַחֲזֵק בִּתְכוּנַת הַדְּבָרִים הַבְּרִיאִים אֲשֶׁר שָׁמַעְתָּ מִמֶּנִּי בָּאֱמוּנָה וּבָאַהֲבָה אֲשֶׁר בַּמָּשִׁיחַ יֵשׁוּעַ	13 Hold to the kind of sound words that you have heard from me in the faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
14 שְׁמֹר אֶת־הַפִּקָּדוֹן הַטּוֹב בְּעֶזְרַת רוּחַ הַקֹּדֶשׁ הַשֹּׁכֵן בָּנוּ	14 Guard the good entrusted to you through the Holy Spirit, who lives within us.
15 זֹאת אַתָּה יוֹדֵעַ כִּי־פָנוּ מִמֶּנִּי כֹּל אֲשֶׁר בְּאַסְיָא וּבְתוֹכָם פּוּגְלוֹס וְהַרְמוֹגְנִיס	15 Know this: that all those who are in Asia have turned away from me, among whom are Phigellus and Hermogenes.
16 יִתֵּן הָאָדוֹן רַחֲמִים לְבֵית אֳנִיסִיפוֹרוֹס כִּי־פְעָמִים רַבּוֹת הֵשִׁיב אֶת־נַפְשִׁי וְלֹא־בוֹשׁ מִמּוֹסֵרָי	16 May the Lord have mercy on the house of Onesiphorus, because he has often refreshed me, and he has not been ashamed of my chains.
17 כִּי אִם־בִּהְיוֹתוֹ בְרוֹמִי יָגַע לְבַקְּשֵׁנִי עַד כִּי־מְצָאָנִי	17 Instead, when he had arrived in Rome, he anxiously sought me and found me.
18 יִתֶּן־לוֹ הָאָדוֹן לִמְצֹא רַחֲמִים מִלִּפְנֵי יְהוָֹה בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא וְרֹב שֵׁרוּתוֹ אֲשֶׁר שֵׁרֵת בְּאֶפְסוֹס אַתָּה יָדַעְתָּ הֵיטֵב	18 May the Lord grant to him to obtain mercy from the Lord in that day. And you know well in how many ways he has ministered to me at Ephesus.
