2 Timothy 2
1 You [are like a] son to me. So I urge also that you [let God] empower you [spiritually] as a result of Christ Jesus acting kindly toward you.
Ti torej, moj sin, bodi močan v milosti, ki je v Kristusu Jezusu.
2 [As you do that], remembering that [the message] that you heard from me is the same message that other people have affirmed/declared to you, you must entrust/give that message to people whom you can trust, people who will be competent/able/qualified to teach others.
Stvari pa, ki si jih med mnogimi pričami slišal od mene, iste izroči zvestim ljudem, ki bodo zmožni tudi druge poučiti.
3 Endure as I do what we suffer for Christ Jesus, like a good soldier [endures what he suffers].
Ti torej prenašaj trdoto kot dober vojak Jezusa Kristusa.
4 [You know that] soldiers, in order to please their captain, do not (become involved in civilian affairs/spend time doing other kinds of work) [MET]. [So, like soldiers, do not let other matters (distract you as you serve/hinder you from serving]) [Christ Jesus]!
Noben človek, ki se bojuje, se ne zapleta z zadevami tega življenja, da lahko ugodi njemu, ki ga je izbral, da bi bil vojak.
5 [Similarly, you know that] athletes who do not obey the rules of the contest will not be given {not win} the prize [MET]. [So, like athletes, do all that Christ Jesus has commanded so that God will reward you]!
In če si človek prav tako prizadeva za zmago, kljub temu ni okronan, razen če si ne prizadeva zakonito.
6 [You also know that] a hard-working farmer should be the first to receive some of the harvest [MET]. [So, like farmers, work hard for Christ Jesus and expect that God will reward you]!
Poljedelec, ki dela, mora biti prvi udeleženec sadov.
7 Think about what I have just written, because, [if you do], the Lord will enable you to understand everything [that you need to understand].
Preudari, kar pravim in Gospod naj ti da razumevanje v vseh stvareh.
8 [Endure everything by] remembering how Jesus Christ [endured it when he suffered]. Remember that he came back to life {God raised him from the dead} and [God affirmed/declared him to be king as] his ancestor [King] David was. Those are things that I tell to people when I tell them the message [about Christ].
Spominjaj se, da je bil Jezus Kristus, iz Davidovega semena, obujen od mrtvih glede na moj evangelij,
9 I am suffering [here in prison] because [some people oppose] the good message [that I tell]. They have even put me in chains as if I were a criminal. Nevertheless, the message from God is not chained {nothing is preventing [MET] [others from proclaiming] the message from God}.
za katerega prenašam stisko kakor hudodelec, celó do vezi; toda Gospodova beseda ni zvezana.
10 Therefore I [willingly] endure all [that I am suffering] for the sake of those [whom God has] chosen. [I do this] in order that Christ Jesus will save them, too, and that they will be forever with [him in the] glorious [place where he is]. (aiōnios g166)
Zato zaradi izvoljenih prenašam vse stvari, da bi lahko tudi oni dosegli rešitev duš, ki je v Kristusu Jezusu z večno slavo. (aiōnios g166)
11 [Endure everything as you remember] that these words [that we all say/sing] (OR, [that we teach people]) [are trustworthy]: Since we have stopped behaving as we did in the past, as though we died when he died, we shall also live with him.
To je zvest izrek: ›Kajti če smo z njim umrli, bomo z njim tudi živeli.
12 Since we are also patiently enduring what we suffer, we shall also rule with him. But if we say that we do not know him, he also will say that he does not know us.
Če trpimo, bomo z njim tudi kraljevali. Če ga zatajimo, nas bo tudi on zatajil.
13 If we (are unfaithful/stop doing what he tells us to do), he will treat us just like he promised to do, because he (can never be untrue to himself/always does what he says that he will do).
Če ne verujemo, vendar on ostaja zvest; sebe ne more zatajiti.‹
14 [Those whom you appointed to teach others] God’s truth, keep reminding them about these things that [I have told you]. Tell them strongly that, since God knows what they are doing (OR, that God [will judge them for everything that is wrong that they do, and therefore]) they must not quarrel (about words/about matters that are not important), [because, when teachers quarrel, it helps] no one, [and because, when they quarrel, they spiritually] destroy those who hear them (OR, they cause those who hear [them to] quit (being committed [to Christ]/believing [in Christ]).)
Spominjaj jih o teh stvareh in naročaj jim pred Gospodom, da se ne pričkajo glede besed, kar ne koristi, temveč spodkopava poslušalce.
15 (Do your best/Try hard) to be the kind of person that God will approve of. [Be like a] good worker as you teach the true message accurately. If a worker works well, he will not need to be ashamed of (OR, will be pleased about) [what he does].
Prizadevaj si, da se pokažeš potrjenega Bogu, delavca, ki se mu ni treba sramovati, ki pravilno razdeljuje besedo resnice.
16 (Stay away from/Do not talk with) [those who talk foolishly and] ([godlessly/say things that displease God]), because [those who talk foolishly] will become even more (ungodly/displeasing to God),
Toda izogibaj se oskrunjenih in praznih blebetanj, ker se bodo okrepila k večji brezbožnosti.
17 and [because] their message will [harm people] [SIM] [like] gangrene/cancer does. [You know] Hymenaeus and Philetus. They are [two] such people [who talk in this manner].
In njihova beseda bo razjedala kakor rak; izmed katerih sta Himénaj in Filét,
18 [Specifically], they teach a wrong message; [that is], they say [wrongly that God will not cause dead people to live again because] he has already given us [spiritual] life. [They claim that our spiritual life is the only new life that we will receive. By saying that], they cause some people
ki sta zašla glede resnice, rekoč, da je vstajenje že minilo; in zrušila vero nekaterih.
19 not to continue to believe [in Christ]. However, [the congregations of] God are strong [MET]. [They are like] a strong foundation on which is written: “The Lord knows the people who really belong to him,” and “Every person who calls Jesus [MTY] ‘Lord’ must stop doing wicked things”.
Kljub temu Božji temelj trdno stoji in ima ta pečat: »Gospod pozna te, ki so njegovi.« In: »Naj se vsak, kdor imenuje Kristusovo ime, odreče krivičnosti.«
20 In a wealthy person’s house there are not only utensils made of gold and of silver, but also utensils made of wood and of clay. The gold and silver [utensils are used] at special [occasions/events], and the others are used at ordinary [occasions. Similarly, in a congregation there are those who] ([are ready/desire]) [to do great things for the Lord Jesus, and there are those like the teachers of false doctrines/teachings who are not].
Toda v veliki hiši niso samo posode iz zlata in iz srebra, temveč tudi iz lesa in iz ila; in nekatere v čast, nekatere pa v nečast.
21 Therefore, those who rid themselves of [what is evil in their lives] will be able to [work well for the Lord. They will be like] utensils [MET] used at special [occasions], set apart for and especially useful to the owner [of the big house. They will be like fine utensils] that have been prepared {are ready} to do any kind of good work.
Če se človek torej očisti od le-teh, bo postal posoda v čast, posvečena ter primerna za gospodarjevo uporabo in pripravljena za vsako dobro delo.
22 [Because of that], you [(sg)] must avoid doing the wrong actions that [many] young people desire to do. Instead, you must earnestly do right actions, believe [the true teaching], love [God and others, and you must continually be at] peace with those who ask the Lord [to help them and who are] pure in every way (OR, who serve [Jesus] faithfully).
Béži tudi pred mladostnimi poželenji, toda sledi pravičnosti, veri, ljubezni, miru, s tistimi, ki iz čistega srca kličejo h Gospodu.
23 Do not talk [with anyone who] foolishly [wants] to argue about matters that are not important. [Do not talk with them], because you know that [when people talk about foolish things], they begin to quarrel.
Toda izogibaj se nespametnih in primitivnih razprav, ker veš, da povzročajo prepire.
24 But those who serve the Lord must not quarrel. Instead, they should be kind to all people, they should be able to teach [God’s truth well], and they should be patient [with people].
In Gospodov služabnik se ne sme prepirati, temveč [mora] biti blag do vseh ljudi, zmožen za poučevanje, potrpežljiv,
25 [That is, they should] gently instruct/teach people who oppose [the true message. They should do that] in order that perhaps God will cause others to completely change what they think, so that they may acknowledge/believe the true [message].
da v krotkosti vzgaja te, ki nasprotujejo sebi; če jim bo Bog morda dal kesanje za priznanje resnice;
26 In that way they may get free from [what is like] [MET] a trap [set by] the devil. The devil has deceived them in order that [they might do] what he wants [them to do].
in da bodo lahko prišli k sebi, ven iz zanke hudiča, ki jih je ujel v svojo voljo.
