2 Timothy 4

1 परमेश्वर अनि येशू ख्रीष्टको नाउँमा म तिमीलाई आदेश दिदँछु। जीवित अनि मृतहरूको न्याय गर्नु हुने एक मात्र ख्रीष्ट येशू हुनुहुन्छ। उहाँको राज्य छ अनि उहाँ प्रकट हुनुहुँदैछ। त्यसैले म तिमीलाई यो आदेश दिन्छुः

2 मानिसहरूलाई सुसमाचार भन, हर स्थितिमा यो भन। मानिसहरूलाई तिनीहरूले गर्नु पर्ने काम बताऊ। तिनीहरूको गल्ती हुँदा तिनीहरूलाई भन। तिनीहरूलाई उत्साह देऊ। यी सब कुराहरू ठूलो धैर्य र सावधान शिक्षाद्वारा गर।

3 समय आउने छ जब मानिसहरूले सत्य शिक्षा सहने छैन। तिनीहरूले धेरै शिक्षकहरू पाउनेछन् जो ती मानिसहरूको इच्छाहरूसँग तिनीहरू मिल्नेछन्। ती शिक्षकहरूले तिनीहरूलाई तिनीहरूले सुन्न चाहने कुराहरू सिकाउनेछन्।

4 मानिसहरूले सत्य सुन्न छाडनेछन्। तिनीहरू झूटा कथाहरूकै पछि लाग्नेछन्।

5 तर तिमीले सदैव आफूलाई संयम गर्नुपर्छ। यदि दुःख आइपरे त्यसलाई स्वीकार गर। सुसमाचार प्रचार गर्ने काम नछोड। परमेश्वरको सेवकले गर्नु पर्ने जे पनि छ सबै गर।

6 मेरो जीवनलाई परमेश्वर समक्ष वेदीमा वलिदान दिइँदैछ। मैले यो जीवनलाई छाडेने समय आएको छ।

7 मैले लडाईं लडेको छु र दौड सिद्धाएको छु। मैले विश्वास बचाइ राखेकोछु।

8 अब एउटा मुकुटले मलाई र्पखिबसेको छ। म परमेश्वरसँग ठिक रहेकोले गर्दा मैले त्यो धार्मिकताको मुकुट पाउने छु। हो, उहाँले मलाई त्यो मुकुट त्यस दिन दिनुहुनेछ। उहाँले त्यो मुकुट ती समस्त मानिसहरूलाई दिनुहुनेछ जसले, उहाँको आगमन चाहेकाछन् अनि जसले उहाँको प्रतिक्षा गरेकाछन्।

9 जति चाँडो सम्भव हुन्छ, मकहाँ आउने कोशिश गर।

10 डेमसले संसारलाई खूबै प्रेम गर्थ्यो अनि ऊ मलाई छाडदैछ, ऊ थिस्सलोनिका गयो। क्रेसेन्स गलतिया गयो अनि तीतस डालमितियामा गए।

11 अहिले लूका मात्र मसित छ। मर्कूसलाई भेट र तिमी आउँदा उसलाई तिमीसित लिएर आऊ। उसले मलाई यहाँ मेरो काममा सघाउन सक्छ।

12 टाइकिकसलाई मैले एफिसस पठाँए।

13 म त्रोआसमा हुँदा त्यहाँ कार्पसकहाँ मैले कोट छोडें। तिमी आउँदा त्यो पनि ल्याइदिनु। ती अत्यन्त आवश्यकीय हुन्।

14 धातुकार अलेकज्याण्डरले मलाई अत्यन्त क्षति गरेको छ। प्रभुले उसलाई योग्य दण्ड दिनुहुनेछ।

15 तिमी पनि सर्तक बस ताकि उसले तिमीलाई क्षति पुर्याउन नसकोस्। हाम्रो शिक्षाको उसले तीब्र विरोध गरेकोछ।

16 पहिलो सुनवाइमा मलाई आफ्नो बचाउ गर्नु भनियो, मलाई समर्थन दिने त्यहाँ कोही थिएन। प्रत्येकले मलाई छाडे। म प्रार्थना गर्छु कि परमेश्वरले तिनीहरूलाई क्षमा गर्नेछन्।

17 तर प्रभु मेरो साथ हुनुहुन्थ्यो। उहाँले मलाई शक्तिवान तुल्याउनु भयो जसद्वारा मैले अयहूदीहरूलाई सुसमाचार व्याख्या गर्न सकें। प्रभु चाहनुहुन्थ्यो कि सबै अयहूदीहरूले सुसमाचार सुन्नु पर्छ। म सिंहको मुखबाट उम्किएँ।

18 यदि कसैले मलाई क्षति गर्न खोजे प्रभुले मलाई उद्धार गर्नु हुनेछ। उहाँले मलाई बचाउँनु हुनेछ अनि आफ्नो स्वर्गीय राज्यमा ल्याउनु हुनेछ। उहाँको महिमा सदा सर्वदा रहि- रहोस्। आमिन।

19 प्रिस्किला र अक्वीलाको साथै ओन्सिफरसको सबै परिवालाई प्रणाम छ।

20 इरास्तस कोरिन्थमै बसे। अनि मैले त्रोफिमसलाई मिलेतसमा छोडिराखे। ऊ अलिक बिसन्चो थियो।

21 शीत ऋतु भन्दा अघि नै मकहाँ आउने सक्दो कोशिश गर्नु।युबलसले तिमीलाई नमस्कार पठाउँदै छ। पुडेन्स, लिनस, क्लोदिया अनि यहाँ भएका समस्त दाज्यू-भाइ, दिदी-बहिनीहरूले आफ्ना प्रणाम पठाउँदैछन्।

22 परमेश्वर तिम्रो आत्मा साथ रहुन्। तिम्रो साथमा अनुग्रह रहोस्। 

1 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;

2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.

3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.

6 For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.

7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:

8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.

9 Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me:

10 For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia.

11 Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry.

12 And Tychicus have I sent to Ephesus.

13 The cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest, bring with thee, and the books, but especially the parchments.

14 Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord reward him according to his works:

15 Of whom be thou ware also; for he hath greatly withstood our words.

16 At my first answer no man stood with me, but all men forsook me: I pray God that it may not be laid to their charge.

17 Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.

18 And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

19 Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus.

20 Erastus abode at Corinth: but Trophimus have I left at Miletum sick.

21 Do thy diligence to come before winter. Eubulus greeteth thee, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren.

22 The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.

23 The second epistle unto Timotheus, ordained the first bishop of the church of the Ephesians, was written from Rome, when Paul was brought before Nero the second time.

1 And when Balaam saw that it pleased the Lord to bless Israel, he went not, as at other times, to seek for enchantments, but he set his face toward the wilderness.

2 And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel abiding in his tents according to their tribes; and the spirit of God came upon him.

3 And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:

4 He hath said, which heard the words of God, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open:

5 How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, and thy tabernacles, O Israel!

6 As the valleys are they spread forth, as gardens by the river’s side, as the trees of lign aloes which the Lord hath planted, and as cedar trees beside the waters.

7 He shall pour the water out of his buckets, and his seed shall be in many waters, and his king shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted.

8 God brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce them through with his arrows.

9 He couched, he lay down as a lion, and as a great lion: who shall stir him up? Blessed is he that blesseth thee, and cursed is he that curseth thee.

10 And Balak’s anger was kindled against Balaam, and he smote his hands together: and Balak said unto Balaam, I called thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast altogether blessed them these three times.

11 Therefore now flee thou to thy place: I thought to promote thee unto great honour; but, lo, the Lord hath kept thee back from honour.

12 And Balaam said unto Balak, Spake I not also to thy messengers which thou sentest unto me, saying,

13 If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the commandment of the Lord, to do either good or bad of mine own mind; but what the Lord saith, that will I speak?

14 And now, behold, I go unto my people: come therefore, and I will advertise thee what this people shall do to thy people in the latter days.

15 And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:

16 He hath said, which heard the words of God, and knew the knowledge of the most High, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open:

17 I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not nigh: there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth.

18 And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a possession for his enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly.

19 Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion, and shall destroy him that remaineth of the city.

20 And when he looked on Amalek, he took up his parable, and said, Amalek was the first of the nations; but his latter end shall be that he perish for ever.

21 And he looked on the Kenites, and took up his parable, and said, Strong is thy dwellingplace, and thou puttest thy nest in a rock.

22 Nevertheless the Kenite shall be wasted, until Asshur shall carry thee away captive.

23 And he took up his parable, and said, Alas, who shall live when God doeth this!

24 And ships shall come from the coast of Chittim, and shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber, and he also shall perish for ever.

25 And Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place: and Balak also went his way.
