1:3
Χάριν ἔχω τῷ θεῷ, ᾧ λατρεύω ἀπὸ προγόνων ἐν καθαρᾷ συνειδήσει, ὡς ἀδιάλειπτον ἔχω τὴν περὶ σοῦ μνείαν ἐν ταῖς δεήσεσίν μου νυκτὸς καὶ ἡμέρας,
Gratias ago Deo, cui servio a progenitoribus in conscientia pura, quod sine intermissione habeam tui memoriam in orationibus meis, nocte ac die

I thank God, whom I serve as my forefathers did, with a pure conscience. How unceasing is my memory of you in my petitions, night and day

having been reminded of the sincere faith that is in you, which lived first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, in you also.
1:6
Δι’ ἣν αἰτίαν ἀναμιμνῄσκω σε ἀναζωπυρεῖν τὸ χάρισμα τοῦ θεοῦ, ὅ ἐστιν ἐν σοὶ διὰ τῆς ἐπιθέσεως τῶν χειρῶν μου·
Propter quam causam admoneo te ut resuscites gratiam Dei, quae est in te per impositionem manuum mearum.

For this cause, I remind you that you should stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.
1:7
οὐ γὰρ ἔδωκεν ἡμῖν ὁ θεὸς πνεῦμα δειλίας, ἀλλὰ δυνάμεως καὶ ἀγάπης καὶ σωφρονισμοῦ.
Non enim dedit nobis Deus spiritum timoris : sed virtutis, et dilectionis, et sobrietatis.
እስመ አኮ መንፈሰ ፍርሀት ዘወሀበነ እግዚአብሔር ዘእንበለ መንፈሰ ኀይል ወንጽሕ ወተፋቅሮ ወጥበብ።
For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.
1:8
μὴ οὖν ἐπαισχυνθῇς τὸ μαρτύριον τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν μηδὲ ἐμὲ τὸν δέσμιον αὐτοῦ, ἀλλὰ συνκακοπάθησον τῷ εὐαγγελίῳ κατὰ δύναμιν θεοῦ,
Noli itaque erubescere testimonium Domini nostri, neque me vinctum ejus : sed collabora Evangelio secundum virtutem Dei :

Therefore don’t be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner; but endure hardship for the Good News according to the power of God,
1:9
τοῦ σώσαντος ἡμᾶς καὶ καλέσαντος κλήσει ἁγίᾳ, οὐ κατὰ τὰ ἔργα ἡμῶν ἀλλὰ κατὰ ἰδίαν πρόθεσιν καὶ χάριν, τὴν δοθεῖσαν ἡμῖν ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ πρὸ χρόνων αἰωνίων,
qui nos liberavit, et vocavit vocatione sua sancta, non secundum opera nostra, sed secundum propositum suum, et gratiam, quae data est nobis in Christo Jesu ante tempora saecularia.
ወአኮ በከመ ምግባሪነ ዳእሙ በከመ ፈቃዱ ወጸጋሁ ዘተውህበ ለነ በኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ እምቅድመ ዓለም።
who saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before times eternal,
1:10
φανερωθεῖσαν δὲ νῦν διὰ τῆς ἐπιφανείας τοῦ σωτῆρος ἡμῶν Χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ, καταργήσαντος μὲν τὸν θάνατον φωτίσαντος δὲ ζωὴν καὶ ἀφθαρσίαν διὰ τοῦ εὐαγγελίου,
Manifestata est autem nunc per illuminationem Salvatoris nostri Jesu Christi, qui destruxit quidem mortem, illuminavit autem vitam, et incorruptionem per Evangelium :
ወአስተርአየ ይእዜ በምጽአቱ ለእግዚእነ ኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ መድኀኒነ ዘሰዐሮ ለሞት ወአብርሃ ለሕይወት ወአሰሰለ ሙስና በትምህርተ ወንጌሉ።
but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light through the Good News.
1:11
εἰς ὃ ἐτέθην ἐγὼ κῆρυξ καὶ ἀπόστολος καὶ διδάσκαλος.

ዘሎቱ ተሠየምኩ ሐዋርያ ወዐዋዴ ወመምህረ ለአሕዛብ።
For this I was appointed as a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.
1:12
δι’ ἣν αἰτίαν καὶ ταῦτα πάσχω, ἀλλ’ οὐκ ἐπαισχύνομαι, οἶδα γὰρ ᾧ πεπίστευκα, καὶ πέπεισμαι ὅτι δυνατός ἐστιν τὴν παραθήκην μου φυλάξαι εἰς ἐκείνην τὴν ἡμέραν.
Ob quam causam etiam haec patior, sed non confundor. Scio enim cui credidi, et certus sum quia potens est depositum meum servare in illum diem.

For this cause I also suffer these things. Yet I am not ashamed, for I know him whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to guard that which I have committed to him against that day.
1:13
ὑποτύπωσιν ἔχε ὑγιαινόντων λόγων ὧν παρ’ ἐμοῦ ἤκουσας ἐν πίστει καὶ ἀγάπῃ τῇ ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ·
Formam habe sanorum verborum, quae a me audisti in fide, et in dilectione in Christo Jesu.
ወይኩን ለከ አርኣያ ውእቱ ቃለ ሕይወት ዘሰማዕከ በኀቤየ በሃይማኖት ወበፍቅረ ኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ።
Hold the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
1:14

Bonum depositum custodi per Spiritum Sanctum, qui habitat in nobis.
ዕቀብ ማሕፀንተከ ሠናየ በመንፈስ ቅዱስ ዘኅዱር ላዕሌከ።
That good thing which was committed to you, guard through the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.
1:15
Οἶδας τοῦτο, ὅτι ἀπεστράφησάν με πάντες οἱ ἐν τῇ Ἀσίᾳ, ὧν ἐστιν Φύγελος καὶ Ἑρμογένης.
Scis hoc, quod aversi sunt a me omnes, qui in Asia sunt, ex quibus est Phigellus, et Hermogenes.
ወዘንተኒ ተአምር ከመ ዐለዉኒ ኵሎሙ እለ በእስያ እለ ፊሎጎስ ወኤርዋኔጌስ።
This you know, that all who are in Asia turned away from me, of whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.
1:16
δῴη ἔλεος ὁ κύριος τῷ Ὀνησιφόρου οἴκῳ, ὅτι πολλάκις με ἀνέψυξεν καὶ τὴν ἅλυσίν μου οὐκ ἐπαισχύνθη,
Det misericordiam Dominus Onesiphori domui : quia saepe me refrigeravit, et catenam meam non erubuit :

May the Lord grant mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain,
1:17
ἀλλὰ γενόμενος ἐν Ῥώμῃ σπουδαίως ἐζήτησέν με καὶ εὗρεν
sed cum Romam venisset, sollicite me quaesivit, et invenit.
ወበጺሖ ኀበ ሮሜ ፍጡነ ኀሠሠኒ ወረከበኒ ሙቁሕየ።
but when he was in Rome, he sought me diligently and found me
1:18
δῴη αὐτῷ ὁ κύριος εὑρεῖν ἔλεος παρὰ κυρίου ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ. καὶ ὅσα ἐν Ἐφέσῳ διηκόνησεν, Βέλτιον σὺ γινώσκεις.
Det illi Dominus invenire misericordiam a Domino in illa die. Et quanta Ephesi ministravit mihi, tu melius nosti.
የሀቦ እግዚአብሔር ይርከብ ሣህለ በኀበ እግዚእነ በይእቲ ዕለት ወመጠነ ተልእከኒ ሠናየ በኤፌሶን ለሊከ ተአምር።
(the Lord grant to him to find the Lord’s mercy in that day); and in how many things he served at Ephesus, you know very well.
