The Bible in Basic English BBE
Orthodox Jewish Bible OJB
1 But the Spirit says clearly that in later times some will be turned away from the faith, giving their minds to spirits of deceit, and the teachings of evil spirits,
1
Now the Ruach HaKodesh says befeirush (explicitly) that in the acharit hayamim some will become meshummad (apostate) from the emunah [of Moshiach], giving heed to deceitful ruchot (spirits, 1Yn 4:1) and teachings of shedim,
2 Through the false ways of men whose words are untrue, whose hearts are burned as with a heated iron;
2
Through the tzevi’ut (hypocrisy) of ones [morei sheker] speaking sheker, the matzpun of whom is seared as with a branding iron.
3 Who keep men from being married and from taking food which God made to be taken with praise by those who have faith and true knowledge.
3
Such will forbid nisu’im (marriage), commanding an isser (prohibition) against that ma’akhal which Hashem created for partaking with hodayah by the ma’aminim in Moshiach and by the ones who have da’as of HaEmes,
4 Because everything which God has made is good, and nothing is evil, if it is taken with praise:
4
Because the whole Bri’ah (Creation) that Hashem has created is tov [BERESHIS 1:4, 10, 12, 18, 21, 25, 31] and nothing is to be rejected that is received with hodayah.
5 For it is made holy by the word of God and by prayer.
5
For it is being set apart as kodesh through the dvar Hashem and tefillos and brachot.
6 If you keep these things before the minds of the brothers, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, trained in the words of the faith and of the right teaching which has been your guide:
6
By presenting these things to the Achim [in Moshiach] you will be a good k’li kodesh (minister) of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua, you will be one nourished with the divrei haemunah and the torah yeshara (good, straight Orthodox Jewish teaching) which you have followed.
7 But have nothing to do with unclean and foolish stories. Give yourself training in religion:
7
But the worldly aggadot and bubbemeises (old wives tales), refuse. Rather, train yourself [1:4] for chasidus [in Moshiach].
8 For the training of the body is of profit for a little, but religion is of profit in every way, giving hope for the life which now is, and for that which is to come.
8
For hitammelut (bodily exercise or training) is kedai (profitable) a bissle, but chasidus [in Moshiach] is profitable in every way, holding havtachah (promise) of Chayyim now in the Olam Hazeh, and, later, of Olam Habah.
9 This is a true saying, in which all may put their faith.
9
This dvar torah is trustworthy and worthy of all acceptance.
10 And this is the purpose of all our work and our fighting, because our hope is in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, and specially of those who have faith.
10
For to this end we labor and strive at the melachah (task), because we have set tikvateynu in the EL CHAI [YEHOSHUA 3:10] who is Moshi’a (Savior) of kol Bnei Adam, that is, the ma’aminim [in Moshiach Adoneinu].
11 Let these be your orders and your teaching.
11
On these things insist and say shiurim.
12 Let no one make little of you because you are young, but be an example to the church in word, in behaviour, in love, in faith, in holy living.
12
Let no one regard with contempt your tza’irut (youth), but become a mofet (example) for the ma’aminim [in Moshiach] in loshon (speech), in hitnahagut (conduct), in ahavah, in emunah, and in lev tahor.
13 Till I come, give attention to the reading of the holy Writings, to comforting the saints, and to teaching.
13
Until I come, attend to the kri’ah betzibbur (congregational public reading) of the Kitvei Hakodesh, attend to the Messianic hatafah (preaching) and to the Messianic hora’ah (instruction, teaching).
14 Make use of that grace in you, which was given to you by the word of the prophets, when the rulers of the church put their hands on you.
14
Do not neglect the matanah (gift) in you which was given to you by means of dvar hanevu’ah (prophecy) with the s’michah administered by the Ziknei HaKehillah.
15 Have a care for these things; give yourself to them with all your heart, so that all may see how you go forward.
15
Put these things into practice, that your progress in shomer masoret (religious devotion) may be manifest to all.
16 Give attention to yourself and your teaching. Go on in these things; for in doing so you will get salvation for yourself and for those who give hearing to you.
16
Be shomer both toward yourself and toward your Messianic hora’ah (instruction), and be arain getun (engrossed), torud (completely absorbed and involved) in them. For by so doing this, you will come to Yeshu’at Eloheynu, and this means not only you yourself but also those who hear your hatafah [about Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach].
