Timotiyos II 4
Orthodox Jewish Bible
4 I solemnly charge you before Hashem and Moshiach Yehoshua, the imminent Shofet of the living and dead, and by the Bi’as HaMoshiach and His Malchut:
2 Attend to the hatafah (preaching) of the Dvar Hashem. Be ready in season, out of season, expose, rebuke, encourage, with all long suffering and hora’ah (teaching).
3 For there will be a time when sound charedi (orthodox) hora’ah they will not tolerate, but according to their ta’avot they will accumulate morim to tickle their ears.
4 And from HaEmes of Hashem they will turn their ear away shmad and to aggadah they will be turned aside.
5 But, you, exercise shlitah atzmi (self-control) in all things, suffer hardship, do the work of a mevaser of the Besuras HaGeulah, fully carry out your avodas kodesh ministry of kiruv rechokim (bringing near the far away ones).
6 For already I am being poured out, and the time of my avekfor (departure, see Pp 1:23) has come.
7 The milchemet tzedek (war of righteousness) I have fought, the course I have finished, the emunah [Yd 1:3] I have been shomer over.
8 Henceforth, there is laid up for me the keter hatzedakah (crown of righteousness) which Adoneinu, the Shofet Tzedek, will give to me in HaYom HaHu, and not only to me, but also to all the ones who are ohavei Bi’as HaMoshiach.
9 Have zerizut (diligence) to come to me quickly.
10 For Demas deserted me. Having loved the Olam Hazeh, he departed for Thessalonica; Crescens, to Galatia; Titos, to Dalmatia.
11 Lukas alone is with me. Get Markos and bring him with you, for he is useful to me for avodas hakodesh.
12 Now Tychicus I sent to Ephesus.
13 When you come, bring the cloak which I left behind in Troas with Carpus, and the megillos, especially the parchments.
14 Alexander the coppersmith did ra’ot rabbot (much evil) to me; Adonoi will repay him L’ISH K’MA’ASEIHU ("TO EACH AS HIS DEEDS" TEHILLIM 62:13).
15 You also watch out for him, because he greatly opposed our message [about Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach].
16 At my first hitstaddekut (defense), no one came to be with me, but all forsook me. May it not be counted against them.
17 But Adoneinu stood with me, and empowered me, that through me the hachrazah (proclamation, kerygma) of the Besuras HaGeulah might be fully preached and all the Nations might hear it. And I was rescued out of the mouth of the lion.
18 Hashem will rescue me from every evil work and thus will bring me safely into his Malchut HaShomayim. Lo haKavod l’olam va’ed. Omein.
19 Drishat Shalom to Prisca and Aquila and the bais of Onesiphorus.
20 Erastus remained in Corinth, but Trophimus, ailing, I left behind in Miletus.
21 Make haste to come before winter. Drishat Shalom to you from Eubulus and Pudens and Linus, Claudia, and all the Achim b’Moshiach.
22 Hashem be with your neshamah. Chen v’Chesed Hashem be with you.

Preach the Word
4 (A)I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, (B)who is to judge the living and the dead, and by (C)his appearing and his kingdom: 2 preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; (D)reprove, rebuke, and (E)exhort, with complete patience and teaching. 3 (F)For the time is coming when people will not endure (G)sound[a] teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, 4 and (H)will turn away from listening to the truth and (I)wander off into myths. 5 But as for you, (J)always be sober-minded, (K)endure suffering, do the work of (L)an evangelist, (M)fulfill your ministry.
6 For (N)I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my (O)departure has come. 7 (P)I have fought the good fight, (Q)I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 8 Henceforth there is (R)laid up for me (S)the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, (T)the righteous judge, will award to me on (U)that day, and not only to me but also to all (V)who have loved his appearing.
Personal Instructions
9 (W)Do your best to come to me soon. 10 For (X)Demas, (Y)in love with (Z)this present world, (AA)has deserted me and gone to Thessalonica. Crescens has gone to Galatia,[b] (AB)Titus to Dalmatia. 11 (AC)Luke alone is with me. Get (AD)Mark and bring him with you, for he is very useful to me for ministry. 12 (AE)Tychicus I have sent to Ephesus. 13 When you come, bring the cloak that I left with Carpus at Troas, also the books, and above all the parchments. 14 (AF)Alexander the coppersmith did me great harm; (AG)the Lord will repay him according to his deeds. 15 Beware of him yourself, for he strongly opposed our message. 16 At my first defense no one came to stand by me, but all deserted me. (AH)May it not be charged against them! 17 But (AI)the Lord stood by me and (AJ)strengthened me, so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and (AK)all the Gentiles might hear it. So (AL)I was rescued (AM)from the lion's mouth. 18 The Lord will rescue me from every evil deed and bring me safely into his heavenly kingdom. (AN)To him be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
Final Greetings
19 Greet (AO)Prisca and Aquila, and (AP)the household of Onesiphorus. 20 Erastus remained at Corinth, and I left (AQ)Trophimus, who was ill, at Miletus. 21 (AR)Do your best to come before winter. Eubulus sends greetings to you, as do Pudens and Linus and Claudia and all the brothers.[c]
22 The Lord be (AS)with your spirit. (AT)Grace be with you.[d]

2 Timote 4
Haitian Creole Version
4 ¶ Men sa m'ap mande ou, devan Bondye ak devan Jezikri ki gen pou vini tankou yon wa pou jije tout moun, ni sa ki vivan ni sa ki mouri:
2 Fè konnen pawòl Bondye a, mache bay li san pran souf, nan tout sikonstans, tan an te mèt bon li te mèt pa bon. Bay tout kalite prèv, rale zòrèy, bay konsèy, moutre moun yo verite a avèk pasyans nèt ale.
3 Yon lè, ou gen pou ou wè moun p'ap vle kite yo moutre yo verite a ankò, y'ap vle pou yo swiv lide pa yo. Lè sa a, y'a reyini yon bann direktè met bò kote yo ki va di yo sa yo ta renmen tande.
4 Yo p'ap vle tande verite a, y'a pito koute istwa ki pa vre.
5 Men, ou menm, kenbe tèt ou an plas nan tout sikonstans. Sipòte tout kalite soufrans. Fè travay moun k'ap anonse bòn nouvèl la. Fè devwa ou ak tout kè ou, tankou yon sèvitè Bondye.
6 Pou mwen menm, lè a rive kote yo pral ofri m' tankou bèt y'ap ofri bay Bondye, lè a vini pou m' kite lavi sa a/.
7 Mwen fin mennen batay la byen mennen, mwen rive nan bout kous mwen, mwen kenbe konfyans mwen fèm nan Bondye.
8 Koulye a, se rekonpans mwen m'ap tann pou lavi dwat mwen te mennen an. Lè gran jou a va rive, Seyè k'ap jije san patipri a ap mete rekonpans mwen an tankou yon kouwòn sou tèt mwen. Men, se pa mwen ase l'ap bay li. Tout moun k'ap tann ak tout kè yo lè la gen pou l' parèt la, va resevwa l' tou.
9 ¶ Fè posib ou vin jwenn mwen touswit.
10 Paske, Demas lage m', li te renmen bagay ki nan lemonn lan twòp. Li pati, li ale Tesalonik. Kresan pou tèt pa l' al nan peyi Galasi, Tit ale Dalmasi.
11 Se Lik sèlman ki la avèk mwen. Pran Mak avèk ou lè w'ap vini. La ban m' yon bon kout men nan travay la.
12 Mwen voye Tichik lavil Efèz.
13 Lè w'ap vini, pase pran gwo manto mwen te kite lakay Kapis, lavil Twoas, pote l' pou mwen. Pote Liv yo tou, espesyalman sa ki fèt ak po bèt yo.
14 Aleksann, bòs fòjon an, fè m' anpil tò. Seyè a va ba l' sa l' merite dapre sa l' fè a.
15 Pran prekosyon ou avè l', ou menm tou. Paske li pa t' vle tande sa n'ap di a menm.
16 ¶ pa t' gen pesonn pou ede m' premye jou mwen t'ap fè defans mwen devan chèf yo. Tout moun kite m' pou kont mwen. Mwen mande Bondye pou l' padonnen yo sa.
17 Men, Seyè a te kanpe la avè m', li ban m' fòs. Se sak fè, mwen te kapab fè konnen pawòl la nèt ale, pou tout moun ki pa jwif yo te ka tande li. Se konsa Bondye wete m' nan bouch lyon an.
18 Seyè a va toujou delivre m' nan tout move pa. L'ap konsève m' pou m' ka antre nan peyi kote li wa nan syèl la. Se pou li tout lwanj pou tout tan. Amèn.
19 Di Priska ak Akilas bonjou pou mwen, ansanm ak tout moun ki lakay Onezifò yo.
20 Eras te rete Korent. Mwen te blije kite Twofim lavil Milè paske li te malad.
21 Fè posib ou pou ou vin jwenn mwen anvan sezon fredi a rive. Ebilis, Pidans, Lenis, Klodya ak tout lòt frè yo voye bonjou pou ou.
22 Mwen mande Seyè a pou l' toujou la avèk ou. benediksyon Bondye avèk nou tout. Amèn.

New International Version
4 In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead,(A) and in view of his appearing(B) and his kingdom, I give you this charge:(C) 2 Preach(D) the word;(E) be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke(F) and encourage(G)—with great patience and careful instruction. 3 For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine.(H) Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.(I) 4 They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.(J) 5 But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship,(K) do the work of an evangelist,(L) discharge all the duties of your ministry.
6 For I am already being poured out like a drink offering,(M) and the time for my departure is near.(N) 7 I have fought the good fight,(O) I have finished the race,(P) I have kept the faith. 8 Now there is in store for me(Q) the crown of righteousness,(R) which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day(S)—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.(T)
Personal Remarks
9 Do your best to come to me quickly,(U) 10 for Demas,(V) because he loved this world,(W) has deserted me and has gone to Thessalonica.(X) Crescens has gone to Galatia,(Y) and Titus(Z) to Dalmatia. 11 Only Luke(AA) is with me.(AB) Get Mark(AC) and bring him with you, because he is helpful to me in my ministry. 12 I sent Tychicus(AD) to Ephesus.(AE) 13 When you come, bring the cloak that I left with Carpus at Troas,(AF) and my scrolls, especially the parchments.
14 Alexander(AG) the metalworker did me a great deal of harm. The Lord will repay him for what he has done.(AH) 15 You too should be on your guard against him, because he strongly opposed our message.
16 At my first defense, no one came to my support, but everyone deserted me. May it not be held against them.(AI) 17 But the Lord stood at my side(AJ) and gave me strength,(AK) so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and all the Gentiles might hear it.(AL) And I was delivered from the lion’s mouth.(AM) 18 The Lord will rescue me from every evil attack(AN) and will bring me safely to his heavenly kingdom.(AO) To him be glory for ever and ever. Amen.(AP)
Final Greetings
19 Greet Priscilla[a] and Aquila(AQ) and the household of Onesiphorus.(AR) 20 Erastus(AS) stayed in Corinth, and I left Trophimus(AT) sick in Miletus.(AU) 21 Do your best to get here before winter.(AV) Eubulus greets you, and so do Pudens, Linus, Claudia and all the brothers and sisters.[b]
22 The Lord be with your spirit.(AW) Grace be with you all.(AX)
