1 Timothy 1
1 From Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the appointment of God, our Savior, and Christ Jesus, our hope.
Pavel, apostol Jezusa Kristusa po zapovedi Boga, našega Odrešenika in Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa, ki je naše upanje;
2 To Timothy, my true child in the faith: May God, the Father, and Christ Jesus, our Lord, bless you, and be merciful to you, and give you peace.
Timóteju, mojemu lastnemu sinu v veri: ›Milost, usmiljenje in mir od Boga, našega Očeta in Jezusa Kristusa, našega Gospoda.‹
3 I beg you, as I did when I was on my way into Macedonia, to remain at Ephesus; so that you may instruct certain people there not to teach new and strange doctrines,
Kakor sem te rotil, ko sem odšel v Makedonijo, da še ostaneš v Efezu, da bi lahko nekaterim naročil, da ne učijo nobenega drugega nauka,
4 nor to devote their attention to legends and interminable genealogies, which tend to give rise to argument rather than to further that divine plan which is revealed in the faith.
niti ne dajo pozornosti bajkam in neskončnim rodovnikom, kar prej podpira razprave, kakor [pa] bogaboječe izgrajevanje, ki je v veri. Tako delajte.
5 The object of all instruction is to call forth that love which comes from a pure heart, a clear conscience, and a sincere faith.
Torej namen zapovedi je ljubezen iz čistega srca in iz dobre vesti ter iz nehlinjene vere,
6 And it is because they have not aimed at these things that the attention of certain people has been diverted to unprofitable subjects.
od katere so se nekateri oddaljili in obrnili stran k praznemu blebetanju;
7 They want to be teachers of the Law, and yet do not understand either the words they use, or the subjects on which they speak so confidently.
želeč biti učitelji postave; [pa] niti ne razumejo kaj govorijo niti o čemer zatrjujejo.
8 We know, of course, that the Law is excellent, when used legitimately,
Toda mi vemo, da je postava dobra, če jo človek uporablja zakonito;
9 by one who recognizes that laws were not made for good people, but for the lawless and disorderly, for irreligious and wicked people, for those who are irreverent and profane, for those who ill-treat their fathers or mothers, for murderers,
vedoč to, da postava ni narejena za pravičnega človeka, temveč za nepostavnega in neposlušnega, za brezbožnega in za grešnike, za nesvete in oskrunjene, za morilce očetov in morilce mater, za ubijalce,
10 for the immoral, for perverts, for slave traders, for liars, for perjurers, and for whatever else is opposed to sound Christian teaching –
za vlačugarje, za tiste, ki sebe omadežujejo z možmi, za ugrabitelje ljudi, za lažnivce, za krivoprisežnike in če je katerakoli druga stvar, ki je nasprotna zdravemu nauku;
11 as is taught in the glorious good news of the ever-blessed God, with which I was entrusted.
glede na slavni evangelij blagoslovljenega Boga, ki je bil zaupan mojemu varstvu.
12 I am thankful to Christ Jesus, our Lord, who has been my strength, for showing that he thought me worthy of trust by appointing me to his ministry,
In zahvaljujem se Kristusu Jezusu, našemu Gospodu, ki me je usposobil in me postavil v službo, kajti imel me je za zvestega;
13 though I once used to blaspheme, and to persecute, and to insult. Yet mercy was shown me, because I acted in ignorance, while still an unbeliever;
ki sem bil prej bogokletnik in preganjalec ter škodljivec. Toda dosegel sem usmiljenje, ker sem to počel nevedno, v nejeveri.
14 and the loving kindness of our Lord was boundless, and filled me with that faith and love which come from union with Christ Jesus.
Milost našega Gospoda pa je bila silno bogata z vero in ljubeznijo, ki je v Kristusu Jezusu.
15 How true the saying is, and worthy of the fullest acceptance, that ‘Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners’! And there is no greater sinner than I!
To je zvest izrek in vreden popolnega sprejetja, da je Kristus Jezus prišel na svet, da reši grešnike; od katerih sem jaz vodilni.
16 Yet mercy was shown me for the express purpose that Christ Jesus might exhibit in my case, beyond all others, his exhaustless patience, as an example for those who were afterward to believe on him and attain eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Vendar sem zaradi tega razloga dosegel usmiljenje, da bi Jezus Kristus lahko vnaprej na meni pokazal vso potrpežljivost za vzor tem, ki naj bi odslej verovali vanj za večno življenje. (aiōnios g166)
17 To the eternal King, ever-living, invisible, the one God, be ascribed honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Torej Kralju, večnemu, nesmrtnemu, nevidnemu, edinemu modremu Bogu, bodi čast in slava na veke vekov. Amen. (aiōn g165)
18 This, then, is the charge that I lay on you, Timothy, my child, in accordance with what was predicted of you – Fight the good fight in the spirit of those predictions,
To naročilo sem zaupal tebi, sin Timótej, glede na prerokbe, ki so izšle poprej o tebi, da boš po njih lahko bojeval dober boj;
19 with faith, and with a clear conscience; and it is because they have thrust this aside, that, as regards the faith, some have wrecked their lives.
in obdržiš vero in dobro vest; ki so jo nekateri zavrgli in glede vere storili brodolom.
20 Hymenaeus and Alexander are instances – the men whom I delivered over to Satan so that they might be taught not to blaspheme.
Od katerih sta Himénaj in Aleksander; ki sem ju izročil Satanu, da bi se lahko naučila ne preklinjati.
