2 Timothy 1

1 Paul, an apostle of Messiah Jesus through the will of God, according to the promise of the life which is in Messiah Jesus,

Pavel, po Božji volji apostol Jezusa Kristusa, glede na obljubo življenja, ki je v Kristusu Jezusu,

2 to Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Messiah Jesus our Lord.

Timóteju, mojemu srčno ljubljenemu sinu: ›Milost, usmiljenje in mir od Boga Očeta in Kristusa Jezusa, našega Gospoda.‹

3 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

Zahvaljujem se Bogu, ki mu služim s čisto vestjo od svojih pradedov, da se te brez prenehanja, noč in dan, spominjam v svojih molitvah

4 longing to see you, remembering your tears, that I may be filled with joy;

in silno si želim, da te vidim, zavedajoč se tvojih solz, da bom lahko izpolnjen z radostjo;

5 having been reminded of the unfeigned faith that is in you; which lived first in your grandmother Lois, and your mother Eunice, and, I am persuaded, in you also.

ko se spominjam nehlinjene vere, ki je v tebi, ki je najprej prebivala v tvoji stari materi Loídi in tvoji materi Evníki; in prepričan sem, da tudi v tebi.

6 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.

Zatorej te spominjam, da razvnameš Božji dar, ki je v tebi po polaganju mojih rok.

7 For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power and love and of a sound mind.

Kajti Bog nam ni dal duha strahu, temveč moči, ljubezni in zdravega razuma.

8 Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner; but endure hardship for the gospel according to the power of God,

Ti se torej ne sramuj pričevanja o našem Gospodu niti o meni, njegovem jetniku, temveč bodi soudeleženec trpljenj evangelija glede na Božjo moč;

9 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 Messiah Jesus before time began, (aiōnios g166)

ki nas je rešil in nas poklical s sveto poklicanostjo, ne glede na naša dela, temveč glede na svoj lastni namen in milost, ki nam je bila dana v Kristusu Jezusu pred začetkom sveta, (aiōnios g166)

10 but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior, Messiah Jesus, who abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.

toda sedaj je prikazana s pojavitvijo našega Odrešenika Jezusa Kristusa, ki je odpravil smrt in po evangeliju prinesel življenje in nesmrtnost na svetlobo.

11 For this, I was appointed a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher.

Kateremu sem bil jaz določen za pridigarja in apostola in učitelja poganov.

12 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.

Zaradi tega razloga tudi trpim te stvari. Pa vendar nisem osramočen, ker vem, komu sem veroval in prepričan sem, da je on zmožen obdržati to, kar sem mu izročil, za tisti dan.

13 Hold the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which is in Messiah Jesus.

Trdno drži vzorec zdravih besed, ki si jih slišal od mene, v veri in ljubezni, ki je v Kristusu Jezusu.

14 That good thing which was committed to you, guard through the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.

To dobro stvar, ki ti je bila zaupana, varuj s Svetim Duhom, ki prebiva v nas.

15 This you know, that all who are in Asia turned away from me; of whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.

To veš, da so se vsi, ki so v Aziji, obrnili proč od mene; izmed katerih sta Figel in Hermógen.

16 May the Lord grant mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain,

Gospod naj da usmiljenje Onezíforjevi hiši, kajti pogosto me je poživil in ni bil osramočen zaradi mojih verig.

17 but when he was in Rome, he sought me diligently, and found me

Toda ko je bil v Rimu, me je zelo marljivo iskal in me našel.

18 (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.

Gospod naj mu zagotovi, da bo na tisti dan lahko našel usmiljenje od Gospoda. In ti zelo dobro veš, v kako mnogih stvareh mi je služil v Efezu.
