1 Timothy 4
1 But the Spirit says expressly that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons,
Duh torej izrecno govori, da bodo v poznejših časih nekateri odšli od vere in dajali pozornost zapeljivim duhovom in hudičevim naukom;
2 through the hypocrisy of liars, branded in their own conscience as with a hot iron;
v hinavščini govoreč laži; ki imajo svojo vest ožgano z vročim železom;
3 forbidding marriage and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.
prepovedovali bodo poročanje in zapovedovali vzdržati se jedi, ki jih je Bog ustvaril, da bi bile sprejete z zahvaljevanjem teh, ki verujejo in poznajo resnico.
4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected, if it is received with thanksgiving.
Kajti vsako Božje bitje je dobro in nič naj ne bo odklonjeno, če je to sprejeto z zahvaljevanjem,
5 For it is sanctified through the word of God and prayer.
kajti posvečeno je z Božjo besedo in molitvijo.
6 If you instruct the brothers of these things, you will be a good servant of Messiah Jesus, nourished in the words of the faith, and of the good doctrine which you have followed.
Če brate spominjaš na te stvari, boš dober služabnik Jezusa Kristusa, hranjen z besedami vere in zdravega nauka, ki si mu sledil.
7 But have nothing to do with irreverent and silly myths. And train yourself for godliness.
Toda zavrni bajke oskrunjenih in starih žensk ter se raje uri v bogaboječnosti.
8 For bodily exercise has some value, but godliness has value in all things, having the promise of the life which is now, and of that which is to come.
Kajti telesno urjenje malo koristi, toda bogaboječnost je koristna za vse stvari, ki ima obljubo življenja, ki je sedaj in tega, ki pride.
9 This saying is faithful and worthy of all acceptance.
To je zvest izrek in vreden popolnega sprejetja.
10 For to this end we both labor and strive, because we have set our trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all people, especially of those who believe.
Kajti zato se tako trudimo, kakor prenašamo grajo, ker zaupamo v živega Boga, ki je Odrešenik vseh ljudi, zlasti teh, ki verujejo.
11 Command and teach these things.
Te stvari zapoveduj in uči.
12 Let no one despise your youth; but be an example to those who believe, in word, in your way of life, in love, in faith, and in purity.
Ne dopusti, da kdorkoli prezira tvojo mladost; temveč bodi zgled vernikom v besedi, vedênju, v ljubezni, v duhu, v veri, v čistosti.
13 Until I come, pay attention to reading, to exhortation, and to teaching.
Dokler ne pridem, daj pozornost branju, spodbujanju [in] nauku.
14 Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the elders.
Ne zanemarjaj daru, ki je v tebi, ki ti je bil dan po prerokbi, s polaganjem rok zbora starešin.
15 Be diligent in these things. Give yourself wholly to them, that your progress may be revealed to all.
Premišljuj o teh stvareh; v celoti se jim izroči; da bo tvoj napredek lahko viden vsem.
16 Pay attention to yourself, and to your teaching. Continue in these things, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you.
Pazi nase in na nauk; nadaljuj v njih, kajti s takšnim ravnanjem boš rešil tako sebe kakor tudi tiste, ki te poslušajo.
