Pāvila 2. Vēstule Timotejam 1
1 Pāvils, caur Dieva prātu Jēzus Kristus apustulis, aicināts sludināt to dzīvību iekš Kristus Jēzus,
From Paul who, by the will of God, is an apostle of Christ Jesus, charged to proclaim the life that comes from union with Christ Jesus,
2 Timotejam, tam mīļam dēlam: žēlastība, apžēlošana, miers no Dieva, Tā Tēva, un no Kristus Jēzus, mūsu Kunga.
to Timothy, my dear child: may God, the Father, and Christ Jesus, our Lord, bless you, and be merciful to you, and give you peace.
3 Es pateicos Dievam, kam kalpoju no tēvu tēviem ar skaidru zināmu sirdi, tā kā es bez mitēšanās tevi savās lūgšanās pieminu naktīm dienām,
I am thankful to God, whom I serve, as my ancestors did, with a clear conscience, when I remember you, as I never fail to do, in my prayers – night and day alike,
4 Ilgodamies tevi redzēt, pieminēdams tavas asaras, lai es topu piepildīts ar prieku,
as I think of your tears, longing to see you, that my happiness may be completed,
5 Kad pieminu tavu bezviltīgo ticību, kas jau papriekš ir mājojusi iekš tavas mātes mātes Loidas un iekš tavas mātes Eunikas, un es stipri ceru, ka arī iekš tevis.
now that I have been reminded of the sincere faith that you have shown. That faith was seen first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and is now, I am convinced, in you also.
6 Tāpēc es tev atgādināju, atkal pamodināt to Dieva žēlastības dāvanu, kas ir iekš tevis caur manu roku uzlikšanu.
And that is my reason for reminding you to stir into flame that gift of God, which is yours through your ordination at my hands.
7 Jo Dievs mums nav devis bailības garu, bet spēka un mīlestības un savaldības garu.
For the Spirit which God gave us was not a spirit of cowardice, but a spirit of power, love, and self-control.
8 Tad nu nekaunies par mūsu Kunga liecību, nedz par mani, Viņa saistīto; bet ciet līdz to grūtumu par evaņģēliju pēc Dieva spēka,
Do not, therefore, be ashamed of the testimony which we have to bear to our Lord, or of me imprisoned for his sake; but join with me in suffering for the good news, as far as God enables you.
9 Kas mūs izglābis un aicinājis ar svētu aicināšanu ne pēc mūsu darbiem, bet pēc Savas īpašas apņemšanās un žēlastības, kas mums dota iekš Kristus Jēzus no mūžīgiem laikiem, (aiōnios g166)
It was God who saved us, and from him we received our solemn call – not as a reward for anything that we had done, but in fulfilment of his own loving purpose. For that love was extended to us, through Christ Jesus, before time began, (aiōnios g166)
10 Un tagad ir parādīta caur mūsu Pestītāja Jēzus Kristus atspīdēšanu, kas nāvi izdeldējis un dzīvību un neiznīcību gaismā vedis caur evaņģēliju,
and has now been made apparent through the appearing of our Saviour, Christ Jesus; who has made an end of death, and has brought life and immortality to light by that good news,
11 Uz ko es esmu iecelts par sludinātāju un apustuli un mācītāju pagāniem.
of which I was myself appointed a herald, apostle, and teacher.
12 Tādēļ es arī to ciešu, bet es nekaunos; jo es zinu, kam esmu ticējis, un stipri ceru, ka Viņš ir spēcīgs, to man novēlēto mantu pasargāt līdz viņai dienai.
That is why I am undergoing these sufferings; yet I feel no shame, for I know in whom I have put my faith, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him until that day.
13 Paturi tās veselīgās mācības priekšzīmi, ko tu esi dzirdējis no manis, iekš ticības un mīlestības, kas ir iekš Kristus Jēzus.
Keep before you, as an example of sound teaching, all that you learnt from me as you listened with that faith and love which come from union with Christ Jesus.
14 Šo labo mantu glabā caur To Svēto Garu, kas iekš mums mājo.
Guard by the help of the Holy Spirit, who is within us, the glorious trust that has been committed to you.
15 To tu zini, ka visi, kas ir iekš Āzijas, no manis ir nogriezušies; starp tiem ir Fiģels un Hermoģens.
You know, of course, that all our friends in Roman Asia turned their backs on me, including Phygellus and Hermogenes.
16 Lai Tas Kungs dod žēlastību Onesifora namam; jo tas mani daudzkārtīgi atspirdzinājis un nav kaunējies par manām ķēdēm;
May the Lord show mercy to the household of Onesiphorus; for he often cheered me and was not ashamed of my chains.
17 Bet Romā nācis tas mani rūpīgi ir meklējis un atradis.
On the contrary, when he arrived in Rome, he sought eagerly for me until he found me.
18 Lai Tas Kungs tam dod, žēlastību atrast pie Tā Kunga viņā dienā; un cik tas man Efesū kalpojis, to tu jo labi zini.
The Lord grant that he may find mercy at the hands of the Lord on that day. The many services that he rendered at Ephesus you have the best means of knowing.
