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.
Mesih İsa'daki yaşam vaadi uyarınca Tanrı'nın isteğiyle Mesih İsa'nın elçisi atanan ben Pavlus'tan sevgili oğlum Timoteos'a selam! Baba Tanrı'dan ve Rabbimiz Mesih İsa'dan sana lütuf, merhamet ve esenlik olsun.
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,
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.
Durmadan, gece gündüz dualarımda seni anarak atalarım gibi temiz vicdanla kulluk ettiğim Tanrı'ya şükrediyorum.
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).
Gözyaşlarını anımsıyor, sevinçle dolmak için seni görmeyi özlemle bekliyorum.
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.
Sendeki içten imanı anımsıyorum. Önce büyükannen Lois'in ve annen Evniki'nin sahip olduğu imana şimdi senin de sahip olduğuna eminim.
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].
Bu nedenle, ellerimi senin üzerine koymamla Tanrı'nın sana verdiği armağanı alevlendirmen gerektiğini hatırlatıyorum.
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.
Çünkü Tanrı bize korkaklık ruhu değil, güç, sevgi ve özdenetim ruhu vermiştir.
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].
Bunun için Rabbimiz'e tanıklık etmekten de O'nun uğruna tutuklu bulunan benden de utanma. Tanrı'nın gücüyle Müjde uğruna benimle birlikte sıkıntıya göğüs ger.
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 g166)
Tanrı bizi yaptıklarımıza göre değil, kendi amacına ve lütfuna göre kurtarıp kutsal bir yaşama çağırdı. Bu lütuf bize zamanın başlangıcından önce Mesih İsa'da bağışlanmış, (aiōnios g166)
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!
şimdi de O'nun gelişiyle açığa çıkarılmıştır. Kurtarıcımız Mesih İsa ölümü etkisiz kılmış, yaşamı ve ölümsüzlüğü Müjde aracılığıyla ışığa çıkarmıştır.
11 I was chosen {Christ chose me} to go as an apostle to many places and proclaim that message to people.
Ben Müjde'nin habercisi, elçisi ve öğretmeni atandım.
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].
Bu acıları çekmemin nedeni de budur. Ama bundan utanmıyorum. Çünkü kime inandığımı biliyorum. O'nun bana emanet ettiğini o güne dek koruyacak güçte olduğuna eminim.
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].
Benden işitmiş olduğun doğru sözleri örnek alarak imanla ve Mesih İsa'da olan sevgiyle bunlara bağlı kal.
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].
Sana emanet edilen iyi öğretileri içimizde yaşayan Kutsal Ruh aracılığıyla koru.
15 You know that [almost] all [the believers] in Asia [province] have (turned away from/abandoned) me, including Phygelus and Hermogenes.
Biliyorsun, Asya İli'ndekilerin hepsi beni terk edip gittiler. Figelos'la Hermogenis de bunlardandır.
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]).
Rab, Onisiforos'un ev halkına merhamet etsin. Çünkü o çok kez içimi ferahlattı ve zincire vurulmuş olmamdan utanmadı.
17 On the contrary, when he came here to Rome, he diligently searched for me until he found me.
Tersine, Roma'ya geldiğinde beni gayretle arayıp buldu.
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.
O gün Rab'den merhamet bulmasını dilerim. Efes'te onun bana ne kadar hizmet ettiğini sen de çok iyi bilirsin.
