1 Timothy 6
1 As for slaves [DOU] [who are believers, teach them that they] should consider that it is right for them to honor their masters in every way. If they do that, people will not speak (against/evil about) God [MTY] and they will not speak (against/evil about) that which [we apostles] teach, [because they will see that the slaves are being respectful of their masters].
Wszyscy słudzy, którzy są pod jarzmem, niech uważają swych panów [za] godnych wszelkiej czci, aby nie bluźniono imieniu Boga i nauce.
2 [Slaves] who have masters who believe [in Christ] must not be disrespectful to their masters just because their masters are fellow believers. Instead, they should serve [their masters] even better because [their masters] are fellow believers whom [God] loves and who benefit when [the slaves] serve them well. As you teach these things [to your congregation], exhort/urge [people] that they do them.
A ci, którzy mają panów wierzących, niech [ich] nie lekceważą dlatego, że są braćmi, ale tym bardziej niech [im] służą, bo są wiernymi i umiłowanymi, uczestnikami dobrodziejstwa. Tego nauczaj i [do tego] zachęcaj.
3 Some people teach things that are different. What they teach (does not agree with/is not like) the correct teaching that our Lord Jesus Christ [taught] (OR, that is about our Lord Jesus Christ). They do not say that we should conduct our lives (in a [godly manner/] a [manner that pleases God]).
Jeśli ktoś inaczej naucza i nie trzyma się zdrowych słów naszego Pana Jezusa Chrystusa i nauki zgodnej z pobożnością;
4 Such people are very proud and do not understand anything [HYP]. Instead, they abnormally/wrongly desire to [argue about unimportant] matters and about certain words. As a result, [people who listen to them] (envy [others/] to have what others have). They quarrel [with others and with one another]. They say bad things about [others. They] suspect/think that [others] have evil ([motives/reasons for doing what they do]).
[Ten] jest nadęty i nic nie wie, lecz ma chorobliwą skłonność do dociekań i sporów o słowa, z których rodzą się zawiść, spory, złorzeczenia, złośliwe podejrzenia;
5 Their whole way of thinking has become completely wrong [because] they have rejected the true [doctrine/teaching]. As a result, they [mistakenly] think that (by practicing religion/by saying that they believe in God) they will gain a lot of [money].
Przewrotne spory ludzi o wypaczonym umyśle, pozbawionych prawdy, [którzy] uważają, że pobożność jest zyskiem [cielesnym]. Strońcie od takich.
6 [Well, we] truly do gain great [benefit] when we conduct our lives (in a [godly manner/] a [manner that pleases God]) and we are content [with what we have].
Wielkim zaś zyskiem jest pobożność wraz z poprzestawaniem na tym, co się ma.
7 We brought nothing into the world [when we were born], and we cannot take anything out [of it when we die],
Niczego bowiem nie przynieśliśmy na ten świat, z pewnością też niczego wynieść nie możemy.
8 so if we have food and clothing, we should be satisfied with these.
Mając natomiast jedzenie i ubranie, poprzestawajmy na tym.
9 But some people strongly desire to be rich. As a result, they [do wrong things to get money, and this will cause them to] be caught/trapped [MET] as animals get caught in traps. They foolishly desire many things, and those desires cause them to get hurt. And God will completely reject [them]!
A ci, którzy chcą być bogaci, wpadają w pokusy i w sidła oraz w wiele głupich i szkodliwych pożądliwości, które pogrążają ludzi w zgubie i zatraceniu.
10 All kinds of bad things will happen to people who [PRS] desire to have a lot of money. Because some people longed for money, they have stopped believing the doctrine/teaching [that all of us believe] and they have caused themselves much grief/sadness.
Korzeniem bowiem wszelkiego zła jest miłość do pieniędzy; niektórzy, pragnąc ich, zboczyli z [drogi] wiary i poprzebijali się wieloma boleściami.
11 But as for you, who are a man who [serves God], (keep completely away from such love of money/do not be like the people who love money). Decide that you will do what is right, and that you will (be godly/do what pleases God). Decide that you will trust [God], and that you will love [others]. Endure [difficult circumstances]. Always be gentle [with people].
Ty zaś, człowieku Boży, uciekaj od tego wszystkiego, a podążaj za sprawiedliwością, pobożnością, wiarą, miłością, cierpliwością, łagodnością.
12 Try earnestly and with all your energy/strength [MET] to live in accordance with what you believe. [Continue to do your tasks well in order that] you will know for sure that you will live eternally. Remember that [God] chose you to [live with him], and that when many elders were listening you said strongly ([what you believe/that you trust in Christ]). (aiōnios g166)
Staczaj dobrą walkę wiary, uchwyć się życia wiecznego, do którego też zostałeś powołany i o którym złożyłeś dobre wyznanie wobec wielu świadków. (aiōnios g166)
13 God, who gives life to all things, knows everything that you do. Christ Jesus also knows everything that you do. He strongly declared what was true when [he was on trial before] Pontius Pilate.
Nakazuję ci przed Bogiem, który ożywia wszystko, i przed Chrystusem Jezusem, który złożył dobre wyznanie przed Poncjuszem Piłatem;
14 I command you that as you keep all that in mind, in every way you (hold fast/obey) to what Christ has commanded us [DOU]. (Hold fast/obey) to those teachings in a way that our Lord Jesus Christ cannot (criticize you about/say that what you did was wrong), until he comes again.
Abyś zachował to przykazanie bez skazy i bez zarzutu aż do objawienia się naszego Pana Jezusa Chrystusa;
15 [Remember that God] will cause Jesus to come again at the proper time. God is awesome! He is the only Ruler! He rules over all other people who rule!
Które we właściwym czasie ukaże błogosławiony i jedyny Władca, Król królów i Pan panów;
16 He is the only one who will never die, [and he lives in heaven surrounded by] light [that is so bright that] no one can approach it! He is the one whom no person has ever seen and whom no person is able to see! My desire is that all people will honor him and that he [will rule] powerfully [MTY] forever! (May it be so!/Amen!) (aiōnios g166)
Jedyny mający nieśmiertelność [i] mieszkający w światłości niedostępnej, którego żaden z ludzi nie widział ani widzieć nie może; jemu [niech będzie] cześć i moc wieczna. Amen. (aiōnios g166)
17 Tell [the believers] who are rich here in this present world that they should not be proud, and that they should not trust in their many [possessions], because they cannot be certain [how long they will have them]. Teach them that instead of [trusting in their wealth, they should trust] in God. He is the one who generously gives us everything we have in order that we may enjoy it. (aiōn g165)
Bogaczom tego świata nakazuj, aby się nie wynosili i nie pokładali nadziei w niepewnym bogactwie, lecz w Bogu żywym, który nam wszystkiego obficie udziela, abyśmy z tego korzystali. (aiōn g165)
18 Also, tell them that their good deeds must be as plentiful [as their money]. Specifically, they should share very generously with others [what they have].
Niech [innym] dobrze czynią, bogacą się w dobre uczynki, chętnie dają i dzielą się [z innymi];
19 If they do that, [Jesus will give them a great reward. It will be as though] they are piling up [in heaven] treasure for themselves that will (be a good [basis on which they may rely] for/result in their) receiving a great reward in the future (OR, which will be [as] solid [as] the foundation [MET] [of a house]). By doing this they will experience what real life is like.
Gromadząc sobie skarby [jako] dobry fundament na przyszłość, aby uchwycić się życia wiecznego.
20 Timothy, faithfully proclaim/protect the true message (OR, do the work) that [Jesus] has given [to you]. (Avoid/Do not listen to) [people who want to] chatter about things that are not important to God. (Avoid/Do not listen to) [people who claim/say that they have] ‘true knowledge’ but who say things that oppose/contradict [our true teaching].
Tymoteuszu, strzeż [tego], co ci powierzono, unikaj pospolitej, czczej gadaniny i sprzecznych twierdzeń rzekomej wiedzy;
21 ([Keep completely away from/Reject completely]) [such teaching. Remember that] some people who claim [to have this ‘knowledge’] have stopped believing what [all of us] believe. ([I desire that/May]) [God continue to act] kindly toward you all.
Którą się niektórzy szczycąc, pobłądzili w wierze. Łaska [niech będzie] z tobą. Amen.
