2 Timothy 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus,
Pavao, apostol Krista Isusa voljom Božjom, po obećanju života, života u Kristu Isusu,
2 to Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
Timoteju, ljubljenom sinu: milost, milosrđe i mir od Boga Oca i Krista Isusa, Gospodina našega.
3 I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with pure conscience, as without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day,
Zahvalan sam Bogu, kojemu onamo od predaka čiste savjesti služim, dok te se neprestano spominjem u svojim molitvama noć i dan.
4 longing to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy;
Sjetim se tvojih suza i zaželim vidjeti te da se napunim radosti
5 when I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that it dwelleth in thee also.
imajući na pameti neprijetvornu vjeru koja je u tebi - onu vjeru koja je najprije prebivala u tvojoj baki Loidi i tvojoj majci Euniki, a uvjeren sam, i u tebi.
6 For which cause I remind thee to stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the laying on of my hands;
Poradi toga podsjećam te: raspiruj milosni dar Božji koji je u tebi po polaganju mojih ruku.
7 for God gave us not the spirit of cowardice, but of power, and of love, and of admonition.
Jer nije nam Bog dao duha bojažljivosti, nego snage, ljubavi i razbora.
8 Be not then ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner; but endure hardship with me for the gospel through the power of God,
Ne stidi se stoga svjedočanstva za Gospodina našega, ni mene, sužnja njegova. Nego zlopati se zajedno sa mnom za evanđelje, po snazi Boga
9 who saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and the grace which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began, (aiōnios g166)
koji nas je spasio i pozvao pozivom svetim - ne po našim djelima, nego po svojem naumu i milosti koja nam je dana u Kristu Isusu prije vremena vjekovječnih, (aiōnios g166)
10 but is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Christ Jesus, who abolished death, and brought life and incorruption to light through the gospel,
a očitovana je sada pojavkom Spasitelja našega Krista Isusa, koji obeskrijepi smrt i učini da zasja život i neraspadljivost - po evanđelju
11 for which I was appointed a herald, and an apostle, and a teacher of the gentiles.
za koje sam ja postavljen propovjednikom, apostolom i učiteljem.
12 For which cause I suffer also these things. But I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which he hath committed to me unto that day.
Poradi toga i ovo trpim, ali se ne stidim jer znam komu sam povjerovao i uvjeren sam da je on moćan poklad moj sačuvati za onaj Dan.
13 Hold the pattern of sound words, which thou heardest from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus;
Uzorom neka ti budu zdrave riječi koje si od mene čuo u vjeri i ljubavi u Kristu Isusu.
14 the good trust committed to thee keep through the Holy Spirit which dwelleth in us.
Lijepi poklad čuvaj po Duhu Svetom koji prebiva u nama.
15 Thou knowest this, that all those in Asia turned away from me, of whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.
Napustiše me, to znaš, svi u Aziji, među njima i Figel i Hermogen.
16 The Lord give mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, because he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain; but on the contrary,
Neka Gospodin milosrđem podari Oneziforov dom jer me često osvježivao i nije se stidio mojih okova,
17 when he arrived at Rome, he sought me out very diligently, and found me.
nego kad je bio u Rimu, brižljivo me potražio i našao.
18 The Lord grant to him that he may find mercy from the Lord in that day: and what services he rendered me at Ephesus, thou knowest very well.
Dao mu Gospodin naći milosrđe u Gospodina u onaj Dan! A koliko je usluga u Efezu iskazao, to ti najbolje znaš.
