1 Timothy 4
1 Howbeit, the Spirit, expressly saith—that, in later seasons, some will revolt from the faith, giving heed unto seducing spirits, and unto teachings of demons—
Duh pa izrečno govori, da bodejo v poslednjih časih nekateri odpadli od vere, držeč se lažnjivih klatiduhov in naukov hudičevih,
2 in hypocrisy, speaking falsehood, [of demons] cauterised in their own conscience, —
V licemérstvu lažigovórnikov, zaznamovanih v lastni vesti,
3 Forbidding to marry, [commanding] to abstain from foods which, God, created to be received with thanksgiving by them who believe and personally know the truth;
Ki branijo ženiti se in možiti, in zapovedujejo zdrževati se jedil, katera je Bog vstvaril za uživanje sè zahvaljevanjem vernim in njim, ki so spoznali resnico.
4 Because, every creature of God, is good, and nothing to be cast away, if, with thanksgiving, it be received, —
Kajti vsaka stvar Božja je dobra in nič ni da bi se zamotalo, ako se prejemlje sè zahvaljevanjem;
5 For it is hallowed by the word of God and intercession,
Kajti posvečuje se po besedi Božji in molitvi.
6 These things, submitting to the brethren, thou shall be, a noble, minister of Christ Jesus, nourishing thyself with the words of the faith, and of the noble teaching which thou hast closely studied.
To naročajoč bratom, bodeš dober pomočnik Jezusa Kristusa, vzrejen v besedah vere, in dobrega nauka, po katerem hodiš.
7 But, from the profane and old-wives’ stories, excuse thyself, and be training thyself unto godliness;
Posvetne pa in starobabje basni zavračaj; vadi se pa v pobožnosti.
8 For, the bodily training, for little, is profitable, whereas, godliness, for all things is profitable, —having, promise, of life—the present and the coming.
Kajti telesna vaja je za malo koristna; pobožnost pa je za vse koristna, ker ima obljubo življenja sedanjega in prihodnjega.
9 Faithful, the saying! and, of all acceptance, worthy;
Resnična beseda in vsega sprejema vredna;
10 For, to this end, are we toiling and contending, because we have set our hope on a Living God, Who is Saviour of all men—specially, of such as believe.
Kajti za to se tudi trudimo in sramotimo, ker smo upanje svoje postavili v Boga živega, kateri je rešitelj vseh ljudî, sosebno vérnih.
11 Be giving these things in charge, and be teaching: —
Zapovedúj to in úči!
12 Let, no one, despise, thy youth, but, an ensample, become thou of the faithful, —in discourse, in behaviour, in love, in faith, in chastity.
Nihče naj ne zaničuje mladosti tvoje, nego zgled bodi vérnim v besedi, v vedenji, v ljubezni, v duhu, v veri, v čistosti.
13 While I am coming, be giving heed—to the reading, to the exhorting, to the teaching:
Dokler pridem, skrbi za branje, opominjanje, podučevanje.
14 Be not careless of the gift of favour, that is in thee, which was given thee through means of prophesying, along with a laying on of the hands of the eldership.
Ne zanemarjaj darú v sebi, kateri ti je bil dan po preroštvu s pokladanjem rok starejšinstva.
15 These things, be thy care, in these things, be thou, that, thine advancement, may be, manifest, unto all:
To premišljaj, v tem bivaj, da bode napredek tvoj očiten v vsem.
16 Be giving heed to thyself, and to thy teaching, —abide still in them; for, this doing, both, thyself, shalt thou save, and them that hearken to thee.
Pazi nase in na úk; stanoviten bodi v tem; kajti to delajoč rešil bodeš sebe in njé, ki te poslušajo.
