2 Timothy 1

1 [I], Paul, [am writing this letter. I am] an apostle whom Christ Jesus chose so that I would do what God wanted. He chose me [to tell people that God] has promised [that they will] live [eternally] as a result of their having a close relationship with Christ Jesus.

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

2 [I am writing to you], Timothy, whom I love [as if you were] my own son. [I pray that] God our Father and Christ Jesus our Lord will [continue to act] kindly to you, be merciful to you, and [cause you to have] inner peace,

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

3 I thank God [for all that he has done for you]. I serve him, and my ancestors [served him, too. I serve him] in a manner that I know to be right. [I thank him] while repeatedly I [pray for you] at night and during the 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 [While I am thanking God for you], I very much want to see you because I remember how you cried [MTY] [when we separated. I want to see you] in order that I may be (filled with joy/very happy).

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

5 [I thank God because] I remember that you sincerely believe [in Christ Jesus]. First, your grandmother, Lois, and your mother, Eunice, [believed in him and], I am (convinced/very sure) that you also believe in him.

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 Because [I am sure that you believe in him], I remind you to do fervently/wholeheartedly [MET] what God has (assigned for/appointed) you to do and what he has enabled you to do. [God] ([assigned for/appointed]) you to do it as a result of my putting my hands [on you to show/indicate that he had chosen you to do his work].

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

7 Remember that God has put [his Spirit] within us. [His Spirit does not cause us to be] afraid. Instead, [he causes us to be] powerful [to work for God], and he helps us to love [others] and [to] control what we say and do.

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

8 So never be ashamed/reluctant to tell others the message about our Lord. And do not [be ashamed] of me, [even though I am] a prisoner [because I preach about] him. Instead, [be willing to] suffer as I do as you proclaim the message about Christ. [Endure what you will suffer] by letting God empower [you to endure it].

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

9 [God] saved us and chose us to conduct our lives in a pure way. It was not our doing good deeds/actions [that caused him to do this for us—something] that we did not deserve. Instead, before (time began/he created the world) he purposed/planned to [be kind to us] as a result of what Christ Jesus [would do for us]. (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 Now, as a result of our Savior Christ Jesus having come, it has been revealed {he has shown} [that he acts kindly toward us. Specifically, Christ Jesus] has declared that we [will not remain dead after we] die! He has also revealed that, as a result of [our hearing and accepting] the message [about Christ, we] will live [forever in bodies that will] not decay!

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

11 I was chosen {Christ chose me} to go as an apostle to many places and proclaim that message to people.

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

12 So, even though I suffer [here in this prison], I am not ashamed [of being here] (OR, I am very confident), because I know [Christ Jesus], the one whom I have trusted, and I am convinced/sure that he is able to keep safe the good message that he has entrusted to me (OR, the things that I have entrusted [to him]), and that he will reward me at the time [MTY] [when he comes again].

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 Be sure that you tell others the same correct message that you heard from me. [And as you tell it], keep trusting [in Christ Jesus] and keep loving [others] as Christ Jesus [enables you to do].

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

14 Do not let anyone persuade you to change the [good message that] God has entrusted/given to you. Allow the Holy Spirit who lives in us to [direct what you say].

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

15 You know that [almost] all [the believers] in Asia [province] have (turned away from/abandoned) me, including Phygelus and Hermogenes.

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

16 [But I pray that] the Lord will be kind to the family of Onesiphorus for the following reasons: Often he cheered me up and, [even though] I was a prisoner [MTY], he was not ashamed (of me/[to admit he was] my [friend]).

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

17 On the contrary, when he came here to Rome, he diligently searched for me until he found me.

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

18 [I pray that] the Lord will be kind to him on that day [MTY] [when he, the Lord, will judge people]. And how much Onesiphorus served [me] in Ephesus [city], 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.
