2 Timoteovi 4
1 Protož já osvědčuji před obličejem Božím a Pána Jezukrista, kterýž má souditi živé i mrtvé v den zjevení svého a království svého,
Christ Jesus [is going to come back and] judge those who are living [when he comes] and those who will have died. He will judge them [concerning what rewards they deserve, and] he will rule everyone. So, [knowing that] he and God are watching [everything that we do], I solemnly/earnestly command you
2 Kaž slovo Boží, ponoukej včas nebo nevčas, tresci, žehři, napomínej, ve vší tichosti a učení.
that you proclaim the [true] message to people. Always be ready/prepared [to proclaim it], whether people want to hear it or not. [Some people are saying things that are not correct]; (refute their teaching/show why their teaching is wrong). Rebuke them when they are doing wrong. Tell them what they ought to do. Be very patient while you teach them.
3 Nebo přijde čas, že zdravého učení nebudou přijímati, ale majíce svrablavé uši, podle svých vlastních žádostí shromažďovati sami sobě budou učitele.
[Do these things] because there will be a time when people will not listen to good teaching. Instead, they will bring in many teachers for themselves who will tell them just what they want to hear [IDM]. [The reason that they will bring in such teachers is] that they want to do the evil things that they desire.
4 A odvrátíť uši od pravdy, a k básněm obrátí.
That is, they will not listen to [MTY] what is true, but will listen instead to [strange] stories from our ancestors.
5 Ale ty ve všem buď bedliv, protivenství snášej, dílo kazatele konej, dokazuj toho dostatečně, že jsi věrný Kristův služebník.
[Furthermore, I command that] you always control what you think and do. [Be willing] to endure hardships/suffering. Your work should be telling people the message [about Christ Jesus]. As you serve [the Lord], do everything that [God has told] you to do.
6 Neb já se již k tomu blížím, abych obětován byl, a čas rozdělení mého nastává.
[Timothy, I say these things to] you because as for me, [it is as though] [MET] [they are now about to kill me. It is as though my blood will] be poured out {they will kill me} [as a sacrifice on the altar]; that is, [I know] that it is the time for me to die [EUP].
7 Boj výborný bojoval jsem, běh jsem dokonal, víru jsem zachoval.
[And as to telling people the] good [message and defending it], I have (exerted myself thoroughly/done it with all my energy) [MET], [like a boxer does. As to doing] the work that God gave me to do, I have completed it, [like a runner who finishes] [MET] the race. [As to] what we believe, I (have been loyal to it/continue to believe it).
8 Již za tím odložena jest mi koruna spravedlnosti, kterouž dá mi v onen den Pán, ten spravedlivý soudce, a netoliko mně, ale i všechněm těm, kteříž milují příští jeho.
[So, like people award] a prize [MET] [to the winner of a race], the Lord, who judges rightly, will give me a reward [because I have lived] righteously. He will give me that reward when [MTY] [he judges people]. And not only [will he reward] me, but he will also reward all those who very much want him to come back.
9 Přičiň se k tomu, abys ke mně brzo přišel.
(Do your best/Try hard) to come to me soon.
10 Nebo Démas mne opustil, zamilovav tento svět, a šel do Tessaloniky, Krescens do Galacie, Titus do Dalmacie. (aiōn g165)
[I say that] because Demas has left me. He wanted very much [the good things that he might enjoy] [MTY] in this world [right now], and so he went to Thessalonica [city]. Crescens [went to serve the Lord] in Galatia [province], and Titus went to Dalmatia [district]. (aiōn g165)
11 Sám toliko Lukáš se mnou jest. Marka vezmi s sebou; nebo jest mi velmi potřebný k službě.
Luke is the only one who is still with me [of those who were helping me. And when you come], bring Mark with you, because he is useful to help me in my work.
12 Tychikať jsem poslal do Efezu.
Tychicus [cannot help me because] I sent him to Ephesus [city].
13 Truhličku, kteréž jsem nechal v Troadě u Karpa, když půjdeš, přines s sebou, i knihy, zvláště pergamén.
And when you come, bring the coat that I left with Carpus in Troas [city]. Also, bring the books, but (most of all/especially) [I want] (the parchments/the animal skins) [on which important things are written].
14 Alexander kotlář mnoho mi zlého způsobil; odplatiž jemu Pán podle skutků jeho.
Alexander, the man who makes things from metal, did many evil/harmful things to me. The Lord will punish him for what he did.
15 Kteréhož i ty se vystříhej; nebo velmi se protivil řečem našim.
So you, too, must beware of him. [He will try to destroy your work if he can], because he very much opposes the message that we [proclaim].
16 Při prvním mém odpovídání žádný se mnou nebyl, ale všickni mne opustili. Nebudiž jim to počítáno za hřích.
When I first defended myself [in court here], no one came along [to help defend] me. Instead, they all left me. [I pray] that it will not be counted against {[God] will forgive} them [LIT] [for leaving me].
17 Pán pak byl se mnou a posilnil mne, aby skrze mne utvrzeno bylo kázání o Kristu, a aby je slyšeli všickni národové. I vytržen jsem byl z úst lva.
Nevertheless, the Lord was with me and strengthened me. He enabled me to fully preach the message, and all the non-Jewish people [in the court] (OR, people from many nations) heard it. And I was rescued [by the Lord] {[the Lord] rescued me} [from great danger, as if I were taken] [MET] out of a lion’s (OR, wild animal’s) mouth.
18 A vysvobodíť mne Pán od každého skutku zlého a zachová k království svému nebeskému, jemuž sláva na věky věků. Amen. (aiōn g165)
[Therefore, I am sure that] the Lord will rescue me from everything that is truly evil and will bring me safely to heaven, where he rules. Praise him forever! (Amen!/May it be so!) (aiōn g165)
19 Pozdrav Prišky a Akvile, i Oneziforova domu.
Greet [for me] Priscilla and [her husband] Aquila and the family of Onesiphorus.
20 Erastus zůstal v Korintu, Trofima pak nechal jsem v Milétu nemocného.
Erastus stayed in Corinth [city]. Trophimus, I left in Miletus [city] because he was sick.
21 Pospěš před zimou přijíti ke mně. Pozdravuje tebe Eubulus a Pudens a Línus a Klaudia, i všickni bratří.
(Do your best/Try hard) to come to me before (the stormy season/winter). Eubulus, Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and many other fellow believers [in this city] (send their greetings to/say that they are thinking affectionately about) you.
22 Pán Ježíš Kristus budiž s duchem tvým. Milost Boží s vámi. Amen. List tento druhý psán jest z Říma k Timoteovi, (kterýž první v Efezu za biskupa skrze vzkládání rukou zřízen byl, ) když Pavel opět po druhé se stavěl před císařem Neronem.
[I pray that] the Lord will [help you in] your spirit, [Timothy, and] that [he] will act kindly toward all of you [believers who are there].
