2 Timothy 1

1 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,

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

2 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.

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

3 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,

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 as I think of your tears, longing to see you, that my happiness may be completed,

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

5 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.

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 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.

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

7 For the Spirit which God gave us was not a spirit of cowardice, but a spirit of power, love, and self-control.

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

8 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.

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

9 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 fulfillment of his own loving purpose. For that love was extended to us, through Christ 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 and has now been made apparent through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus; who has made an end of death, and has brought life and immortality to light by that good news,

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

11 of which I was myself appointed a herald, apostle, and teacher.

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

12 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.

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 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.

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

14 Guard by the help of the Holy Spirit, who is within us, the glorious trust that has been committed to you.

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

15 You know, of course, that all our friends in Roman Asia turned their backs on me, including Phygellus 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 show mercy to the household of Onesiphorus; for he often cheered me and was not ashamed of my chains.

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

17 On the contrary, when he arrived in Rome, he sought eagerly for me until he found me.

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

18 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.

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.
