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 solemnly implore you, in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus who is about to judge the living and the dead, and by His Appearing and His Kingship:
2 propovijedaj Riječ, uporan budi - bilo to zgodno ili nezgodno - uvjeravaj, prijeti, zapovijedaj sa svom strpljivošću i poukom.
proclaim God's message, be zealous in season and out of season; convince, rebuke, encourage, with the utmost patience as a teacher.
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 is coming when they will not tolerate wholesome instruction, but, wanting to have their ears tickled, they will find a multitude of teachers to satisfy their own fancies;
4 od istine će uho odvraćati, a bajkama se priklanjati.
and will turn away from listening to the truth and will turn aside to fables.
5 Ti, naprotiv, budi trijezan u svemu, zlopati se, djelo izvrši blagovjesničko, služenje svoje posve ispuni!
But as for you, you must exercise habitual self-control, and not live a self-indulgent life, but do the duty of an evangelist and fully discharge the obligations of your office.
6 Jer ja se već prinosim za žrtvu ljevanicu, prispjelo je vrijeme moga odlaska.
I for my part am like a drink-offering which is already being poured out; and the time for my departure is now close at hand.
7 Dobar sam boj bio, trku završio, vjeru sačuvao.
I have gone through the glorious contest; I have run the race; I have guarded 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.
From this time onward there is reserved for me the crown of righteousness which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day, and not only to me, but also to all who love the thought of His Appearing.
9 Nastoj što prije doći k meni!
Make an effort 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--loving, as he does, the present age--and has gone to Thessalonica; Crescens has gone to Galatia, and Titus to Dalmatia. (aiōn g165)
11 Luka je jedini sa mnom. Marka uzmi i dovedi sa sobom jer mi je koristan za služenje.
Luke is the only friend I now have with me. Call for Mark on your way and bring him with you, for he is a great help 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 with you the cloak which I left behind at Troas at the house of Carpus, and the books, but especially the parchments.
14 Aleksandar kovač nanio mi je mnogo zla. Uzvratio mu Gospodin po njegovim djelima!
Alexander the metal-worker showed bitter hostility towards me: the Lord will requite him according to his doings.
15 Njega se i ti čuvaj jer se veoma usprotivio našim riječima.
You also should beware of him; for he has violently opposed our preaching.
16 Za prve moje obrane nitko ne bijaše uza me, svi me napustiše. Ne uračunalo im se!
At my first defence I had no one at my side, but 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.
The Lord, however, stood by me and filled me with inward strength, that through me the Message might be fully proclaimed and that all 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)
The Lord will deliver me from every cruel attack and will keep me safe in preparation for His heavenly Kingdom. To Him be the glory until the Ages of the Ages! Amen. (aiōn g165)

20 Erast osta u Korintu, a Trofima ostavih u Miletu bolesna.
Erastus stayed in Corinth; Trophimus I left behind me at Miletus, ill.

Make an effort to come before winter. Eubulus greets you, and so do Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brethren.
22 Gospodin s duhom tvojim. Milost s vama!
The Lord be with your spirit. Grace be with you all.
