< 2 Timothy 1 >
1 [I], Paul, [am writing this letter. I am] an apostle whom Christ Jesus chose so that I would do what God wanted. He chose me [to tell people that God] has promised [that they will] live [eternally] as a result of their having a close relationship with Christ Jesus.
Dari Paulus, rasul Kristus Yesus oleh kehendak Allah untuk memberitakan janji tentang hidup dalam Kristus Yesus,
2 [I am writing to you], Timothy, whom I love [as if you were] my own son. [I pray that] God our Father and Christ Jesus our Lord will [continue to act] kindly to you, be merciful to you, and [cause you to have] inner peace,
kepada Timotius, anakku yang kekasih: kasih karunia, rahmat dan damai sejahtera dari Allah Bapa dan Kristus Yesus, Tuhan kita, menyertai engkau.
3 I thank God [for all that he has done for you]. I serve him, and my ancestors [served him, too. I serve him] in a manner that I know to be right. [I thank him] while repeatedly I [pray for you] at night and during the day.
Aku mengucap syukur kepada Allah, yang kulayani dengan hati nurani yang murni seperti yang dilakukan nenek moyangku. Dan selalu aku mengingat engkau dalam permohonanku, baik siang maupun malam.
4 [While I am thanking God for you], I very much want to see you because I remember how you cried [MTY] [when we separated. I want to see you] in order that I may be (filled with joy/very happy).
Dan apabila aku terkenang akan air matamu yang kaucurahkan, aku ingin melihat engkau kembali supaya penuhlah kesukaanku.
5 [I thank God because] I remember that you sincerely believe [in Christ Jesus]. First, your grandmother, Lois, and your mother, Eunice, [believed in him and], I am (convinced/very sure) that you also believe in him.
Sebab aku teringat akan imanmu yang tulus ikhlas, yaitu iman yang pertama-tama hidup di dalam nenekmu Lois dan di dalam ibumu Eunike dan yang aku yakin hidup juga di dalam dirimu.
6 Because [I am sure that you believe in him], I remind you to do fervently/wholeheartedly [MET] what God has (assigned for/appointed) you to do and what he has enabled you to do. [God] ([assigned for/appointed]) you to do it as a result of my putting my hands [on you to show/indicate that he had chosen you to do his work].
Karena itulah kuperingatkan engkau untuk mengobarkan karunia Allah yang ada padamu oleh penumpangan tanganku atasmu.
7 Remember that God has put [his Spirit] within us. [His Spirit does not cause us to be] afraid. Instead, [he causes us to be] powerful [to work for God], and he helps us to love [others] and [to] control what we say and do.
Sebab Allah memberikan kepada kita bukan roh ketakutan, melainkan roh yang membangkitkan kekuatan, kasih dan ketertiban.
8 So never be ashamed/reluctant to tell others the message about our Lord. And do not [be ashamed] of me, [even though I am] a prisoner [because I preach about] him. Instead, [be willing to] suffer as I do as you proclaim the message about Christ. [Endure what you will suffer] by letting God empower [you to endure it].
Jadi janganlah malu bersaksi tentang Tuhan kita dan janganlah malu karena aku, seorang hukuman karena Dia, melainkan ikutlah menderita bagi Injil-Nya oleh kekuatan Allah.
9 [God] saved us and chose us to conduct our lives in a pure way. It was not our doing good deeds/actions [that caused him to do this for us—something] that we did not deserve. Instead, before (time began/he created the world) he purposed/planned to [be kind to us] as a result of what Christ Jesus [would do for us]. (aiōnios )
Dialah yang menyelamatkan kita dan memanggil kita dengan panggilan kudus, bukan berdasarkan perbuatan kita, melainkan berdasarkan maksud dan kasih karunia-Nya sendiri, yang telah dikaruniakan kepada kita dalam Kristus Yesus sebelum permulaan zaman (aiōnios )
10 Now, as a result of our Savior Christ Jesus having come, it has been revealed {he has shown} [that he acts kindly toward us. Specifically, Christ Jesus] has declared that we [will not remain dead after we] die! He has also revealed that, as a result of [our hearing and accepting] the message [about Christ, we] will live [forever in bodies that will] not decay!
dan yang sekarang dinyatakan oleh kedatangan Juruselamat kita Yesus Kristus, yang oleh Injil telah mematahkan kuasa maut dan mendatangkan hidup yang tidak dapat binasa.
11 I was chosen {Christ chose me} to go as an apostle to many places and proclaim that message to people.
Untuk Injil inilah aku telah ditetapkan sebagai pemberita, sebagai rasul dan sebagai guru.
12 So, even though I suffer [here in this prison], I am not ashamed [of being here] (OR, I am very confident), because I know [Christ Jesus], the one whom I have trusted, and I am convinced/sure that he is able to keep safe the good message that he has entrusted to me (OR, the things that I have entrusted [to him]), and that he will reward me at the time [MTY] [when he comes again].
Itulah sebabnya aku menderita semuanya ini, tetapi aku tidak malu; karena aku tahu kepada siapa aku percaya dan aku yakin bahwa Dia berkuasa memeliharakan apa yang telah dipercayakan-Nya kepadaku hingga pada hari Tuhan.
13 Be sure that you tell others the same correct message that you heard from me. [And as you tell it], keep trusting [in Christ Jesus] and keep loving [others] as Christ Jesus [enables you to do].
Peganglah segala sesuatu yang telah engkau dengar dari padaku sebagai contoh ajaran yang sehat dan lakukanlah itu dalam iman dan kasih dalam Kristus Yesus.
14 Do not let anyone persuade you to change the [good message that] God has entrusted/given to you. Allow the Holy Spirit who lives in us to [direct what you say].
Peliharalah harta yang indah, yang telah dipercayakan-Nya kepada kita, oleh Roh Kudus yang diam di dalam kita.
15 You know that [almost] all [the believers] in Asia [province] have (turned away from/abandoned) me, including Phygelus and Hermogenes.
Engkau tahu bahwa semua mereka yang di daerah Asia Kecil berpaling dari padaku; termasuk Figelus dan Hermogenes.
16 [But I pray that] the Lord will be kind to the family of Onesiphorus for the following reasons: Often he cheered me up and, [even though] I was a prisoner [MTY], he was not ashamed (of me/[to admit he was] my [friend]).
Tuhan kiranya mengaruniakan rahmat-Nya kepada keluarga Onesiforus yang telah berulang-ulang menyegarkan hatiku. Ia tidak malu menjumpai aku di dalam penjara.
17 On the contrary, when he came here to Rome, he diligently searched for me until he found me.
Ketika di Roma, ia berusaha mencari aku dan sudah juga menemui aku.
18 [I pray that] the Lord will be kind to him on that day [MTY] [when he, the Lord, will judge people]. And how much Onesiphorus served [me] in Ephesus [city], you know very well.
Kiranya Tuhan menunjukkan rahmat-Nya kepadanya pada hari-Nya. Betapa banyaknya pelayanan yang ia lakukan di Efesus engkau lebih mengetahuinya dari padaku.
