< 1 Timothy 1 >
1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to a command of God our Savior, and of the Lord Jesus Christ our hope,
Pavel, apostol Jezusa Kristusa po zapovedi Boga, našega Odrešenika in Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa, ki je naše upanje;
2 to Timotheus—genuine child in faith: Grace, kindness, peace, from God our Father and Christ Jesus our Lord!
Timóteju, mojemu lastnemu sinu v veri: ›Milost, usmiljenje in mir od Boga, našega Očeta in Jezusa Kristusa, našega Gospoda.‹
3 According as I exhorted you to remain in Ephesus—I going on to Macedonia—that you might charge certain [ones] not to teach any other thing,
Kakor sem te rotil, ko sem odšel v Makedonijo, da še ostaneš v Efezu, da bi lahko nekaterim naročil, da ne učijo nobenega drugega nauka,
4 nor to give heed to fables and endless genealogies, that cause questions rather than [the] stewardship of God which [is] in faith.
niti ne dajo pozornosti bajkam in neskončnim rodovnikom, kar prej podpira razprave, kakor [pa] bogaboječe izgrajevanje, ki je v veri. Tako delajte.
5 And the end of the charge is love out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of unhypocritical faith,
Torej namen zapovedi je ljubezen iz čistega srca in iz dobre vesti ter iz nehlinjene vere,
6 from which certain [men], having swerved, turned aside to vain discourse,
od katere so se nekateri oddaljili in obrnili stran k praznemu blebetanju;
7 willing to be teachers of law, not understanding either the things they say, nor concerning what they confidently assert,
želeč biti učitelji postave; [pa] niti ne razumejo kaj govorijo niti o čemer zatrjujejo.
8 and we have known that the Law [is] good, if anyone may use it lawfully;
Toda mi vemo, da je postava dobra, če jo človek uporablja zakonito;
9 having known this, that law is not set for a righteous man, but for lawless and insubordinate persons, ungodly and sinners, impious and profane, murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, manslayers,
vedoč to, da postava ni narejena za pravičnega človeka, temveč za nepostavnega in neposlušnega, za brezbožnega in za grešnike, za nesvete in oskrunjene, za morilce očetov in morilce mater, za ubijalce,
10 whoremongers, homosexuals, enslavers, liars, perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is adverse to sound doctrine,
za vlačugarje, za tiste, ki sebe omadežujejo z možmi, za ugrabitelje ljudi, za lažnivce, za krivoprisežnike in če je katerakoli druga stvar, ki je nasprotna zdravemu nauku;
11 according to the good news of the glory of the blessed God, with which I was entrusted.
glede na slavni evangelij blagoslovljenega Boga, ki je bil zaupan mojemu varstvu.
12 And I give thanks to Him who enabled me—Christ Jesus our Lord—that He reckoned me steadfast, having put [me] to the ministry,
In zahvaljujem se Kristusu Jezusu, našemu Gospodu, ki me je usposobil in me postavil v službo, kajti imel me je za zvestega;
13 who before was speaking slander, and persecuting, and insulting, but I found kindness, because, being ignorant, I did [it] in unbelief,
ki sem bil prej bogokletnik in preganjalec ter škodljivec. Toda dosegel sem usmiljenje, ker sem to počel nevedno, v nejeveri.
14 and the grace of our Lord exceedingly abounded, with faith and love that [is] in Christ Jesus.
Milost našega Gospoda pa je bila silno bogata z vero in ljubeznijo, ki je v Kristusu Jezusu.
15 The word [is] steadfast, and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am first;
To je zvest izrek in vreden popolnega sprejetja, da je Kristus Jezus prišel na svet, da reši grešnike; od katerih sem jaz vodilni.
16 but because of this I found kindness, that Jesus Christ might first show forth all long-suffering in me, for a pattern of those about to believe on Him to continuous life. (aiōnios )
Vendar sem zaradi tega razloga dosegel usmiljenje, da bi Jezus Kristus lahko vnaprej na meni pokazal vso potrpežljivost za vzor tem, ki naj bi odslej verovali vanj za večno življenje. (aiōnios )
17 And to the King of the ages, the incorruptible, invisible, only wise God, [is] honor and glory through the ages of the ages! Amen. (aiōn )
Torej Kralju, večnemu, nesmrtnemu, nevidnemu, edinemu modremu Bogu, bodi čast in slava na veke vekov. Amen. (aiōn )
18 I commit to you this charge, child Timotheus, according to the prophecies that went before on you, that you may war in them the good warfare,
To naročilo sem zaupal tebi, sin Timótej, glede na prerokbe, ki so izšle poprej o tebi, da boš po njih lahko bojeval dober boj;
19 having faith and a good conscience, which some having thrust away, made shipwreck concerning the faith,
in obdržiš vero in dobro vest; ki so jo nekateri zavrgli in glede vere storili brodolom.
20 of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I delivered to Satan, that they might be instructed not to speak evil.
Od katerih sta Himénaj in Aleksander; ki sem ju izročil Satanu, da bi se lahko naučila ne preklinjati.
