2 Timoteju 4
1 Zaklinjem te pred Bogom i Kristom Isusom, koji će suditi žive i mrtve, zaklinjem te pojavkom njegovim i kraljevstvom njegovim:
I adjure you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus who is about to judge the living and the dead - by his appearing and his kingdom, I adjure you -
2 propovijedaj Riječ, uporan budi - bilo to zgodno ili nezgodno - uvjeravaj, prijeti, zapovijedaj sa svom strpljivošću i poukom.
proclaim the message, be urgent in season and out of season; convince, rebuke, encourage, with never-failing patience and teaching.
3 Jer doći će vrijeme kad ljudi neće podnositi zdrava nauka nego će sebi po vlastitim požudama nagomilavati učitelje kako im godi ušima;
For a time will come when they will not listen to wholesome teaching, but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will heap up for themselves teachers upon teachers to satisfy their own fancies.
4 od istine će uho odvraćati, a bajkama se priklanjati.
They will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn aside to myths.
5 Ti, naprotiv, budi trijezan u svemu, zlopati se, djelo izvrši blagovjesničko, služenje svoje posve ispuni!
But as for you, be always self-controlled, face hardships, do the work of a missionary, discharge all the duties of your ministry.
6 Jer ja se već prinosim za žrtvu ljevanicu, prispjelo je vrijeme moga odlaska.
I for my part am a libation already being poured in sacrifice; and the time of my unmooring is at hand.
7 Dobar sam boj bio, trku završio, vjeru sačuvao.
I have fought in the glorious contest; I have run the race; I have kept the faith.
8 Stoga, pripravljen mi je vijenac pravednosti kojim će mi u onaj Dan uzvratiti Gospodin, pravedan sudac; ne samo meni, nego i svima koji s ljubavlju čekaju njegov pojavak.
Henceforth there is laid up for me the garland of righteousness which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that Day, and not to me only, but also to all those who have loved his appearing.
9 Nastoj što prije doći k meni!
Do your best to come to me speedily,
10 Jer Dema me, zaljubljen u sadašnji svijet, napustio i otišao u Solun; Krescencije u Galaciju, Tit u Dalmaciju. (aiōn g165)
for Demas has deserted me for love of this present world, and is gone to Thessalonica; Crescens is gone to Galatia; Titus to Dalmatia. (aiōn g165)
11 Luka je jedini sa mnom. Marka uzmi i dovedi sa sobom jer mi je koristan za služenje.
Luke only is with me. Pick up Mark, and bring him with you, for he is useful to me in my ministry.
12 Tihika sam poslao u Efez.
Tychicus I have sent to Ephesus.
13 Kabanicu koju ostavih u Troadi kod Karpa, kada dođeš, donesi. I knjige, osobito pergamene.
When you come, bring the cloak I left in Troas with Carpus; also my books, but especially my parchments.
14 Aleksandar kovač nanio mi je mnogo zla. Uzvratio mu Gospodin po njegovim djelima!
Alexander, the coppersmith, manifested bitter hostility toward me. The Lord will requite him according to his works.
15 Njega se i ti čuvaj jer se veoma usprotivio našim riječima.
Be also on your guard against him, for he has violently opposed my arguments.
16 Za prve moje obrane nitko ne bijaše uza me, svi me napustiše. Ne uračunalo im se!
At the time of my first defense no one stood by me; on the contrary they all deserted me - may it not be laid to their charge!
17 Ali Gospodin je stajao uza me, on me krijepio da se po meni potpuno razglasi Poruka te je čuju svi narodi; i izbavljen sam iz usta lavljih.
Nevertheless the Lord Jesus stood by me, and strengthened my heart, that through me full proclamation of the gospel might be made, and the Gentiles might hear it; and I was rescued from the lion’s jaws.
18 Izbavit će me Gospodin od svakoga zla djela i spasiti za svoje nebesko kraljevstvo. Njemu slava u vijeke vjekova! Amen! (aiōn g165)
And the Lord will rescue me from every evil assault, and will preserve me for his heavenly kingdom. To him be the glory forever and ever! Amen! (aiōn g165)
19 Pozdravi Prisku i Akvilu i Oneziforov dom!
Give my greetings to Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus.
20 Erast osta u Korintu, a Trofima ostavih u Miletu bolesna.
Erastus remained at Corinth; Trophimus I left behind me ill at Miletus.
21 Nastoj doći prije zime. Pozdravlja te Eubul, Pudencije, Lino, Klaudija i sva braća.

22 Gospodin s duhom tvojim. Milost s vama!
The Lord Jesus be with your spirit. Grace be with you all.
