1 Timothy 6
1 Let as many as are slaves under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honor, that the name of God and the doctrine not be blasphemed.
Toliko služabnikov, kot jih je podjarmljenih, naj imajo svoje lastne gospodarje za vredne vse časti, da se zoper Božje ime in njegov nauk ne bi izrekalo bogokletje.
2 Those who have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brothers, but rather let them serve them, because those who partake of the benefit are believing and beloved. Teach and exhort these things.
In tisti, ki imajo verne gospodarje, naj jih ne prezirajo zato, ker so bratje; temveč naj jim raje služijo, ker so zvesti in ljubljeni, soudeleženci dobička. Te stvari úči in spodbujaj.
3 If anyone teaches a different doctrine, and does not consent to sound words, the words of our Lord Yeshua Meshikha, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness,
Če katerikoli človek uči drugače in ne pritrjuje zdravim besedam, celó besedam našega Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa in nauku, ki je glede na bogaboječnost;
4 he is conceited, knowing nothing, but obsessed with arguments, disputes, and word battles, from which come envy, strife, reviling, evil suspicions,
je ponosen in ničesar ne ve, marveč boleha glede vprašanj in besednih prepirov, od česar prihajajo zavist, prepir, posmehovanja, hudobna domnevanja,
5 constant friction of people of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain.
sprevržena razpravljanja ljudi izprijenih misli in oropanih resnice, ki mislijo, da je bogaboječnost [vir] dobička. Od takšnih se umaknite.
6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.
Toda bogaboječnost je, skupaj z zadovoljstvom, velik dobiček.
7 For we brought nothing into the world, so neither can we carry anything out.
Kajti ničesar nismo prinesli na ta svet in nedvomno je, [da] ničesar ne moremo odnesti.
8 But having food and clothing, we will be content with that.
In bodimo zadovoljni s tem, da imamo hrano in obleko.
9 But those who are determined to be rich fall into a temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful lusts, such as plunge people into ruin and destruction.
Toda tisti, ki hočejo biti bogati, padejo v skušnjavo in zanko ter v mnoga nespametna in škodljiva poželenja, ki ljudi potopijo v uničenje in pogubo.
10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some have been led astray from the faith in their greed, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
Kajti ljubezen do denarja je korenina vsega zla; za katerim so nekateri zahlepeli, zašli od vere in se prebodli z mnogimi bridkostmi.
11 But you, man of God, flee these things, and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, and gentleness.
Toda ti, oh Božji mož, beži od teh stvari in si prizadevaj za pravičnost, bogaboječnost, vero, ljubezen, potrpežljivost in krotkost.
12 Fight the good fight of faith. Lay hold of the everlasting life to which you were called, and you confessed the good confession in the sight of many witnesses. (aiōnios g166)
Bojuj dober boj vere, oprimi se večnega življenja, kamor si tudi poklican in si pred mnogimi pričami izpovedal dobro izpoved. (aiōnios g166)
13 I command you before God, who gives life to all things, and before Meshikha Yeshua, who before Pontius Pilate testified the good confession,
Dajem ti naročilo v očeh Boga, ki oživlja vse stvari in pred Kristusom Jezusom, ki je pred Poncijem Pilatom pričeval dobro priznanje;
14 that you keep the commandment without spot, blameless, until the appearing of our Lord Yeshua Meshikha;
da ohraniš to zapoved brez madeža, brezgrajno do pojavitve našega Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa,
15 which in its own times he will show, who is the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
ki jo bo ob svojih časih pokazal, ki je blagoslovljen in edini Vladar, Kralj kraljev in Gospod gospodov;
16 who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light; whom no human has seen, nor can see: to whom be honor and eternal power. Amen. (aiōnios g166)
ki ima edini nesmrtnost in prebiva v svetlobi, ki sem mu noben človek ne more približati; katerega noben človek ni videl niti ne more videti; njemu bodi čast in večna oblast. Amen. (aiōnios g166)
17 Charge those who are rich in this present world that they not be haughty, nor have their hope set on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy; (aiōn g165)
Naročajte tem, ki so na tem svetu bogati, da naj ne bodo vzvišeni niti naj ne zaupajo v negotova bogastva, temveč v živega Boga, ki nam bogato daje v uživanje vse stvari; (aiōn g165)
18 that they do good, that they be rich in good works, that they be ready to distribute, willing to communicate;
da delajo dobro, da bodo bogati v dobrih delih, pripravljeni za razdeljevanje, voljni za posredovanje;
19 laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold of that which is truly life.
in si v shrambi privarčevali dober temelj za čas, ki pride, da se bodo lahko oprijeli večnega življenja.
20 Timothy, guard that which is committed to you, turning away from the empty chatter and oppositions of the knowledge which is falsely so called;
Oh Timótej, varuj to, kar je zaupano tvojemu varstvu, izogibajoč se oskrunjenih in praznih blebetanj ter tako imenovanih lažnih znanstvenih oporekanj,
21 which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with you.
ki so jih nekateri izpovedovali in zašli glede vere. Milost bodi s teboj. Amen. [Prvo Timóteju je bilo napisano iz Laodikeje, ki je glavno mesto Frigije Pacatiane.]
