2 Timothy 2
1 You [are like a] son to me. So I urge also that you [let God] empower you [spiritually] as a result of Christ Jesus acting kindly toward you.
Tvou silou, můj synu, ať je Kristova moc.
2 [As you do that], remembering that [the message] that you heard from me is the same message that other people have affirmed/declared to you, you must entrust/give that message to people whom you can trust, people who will be competent/able/qualified to teach others.
Co jsi se naučil ode mne, předávej spolehlivým a schopným lidem, kteří budou šířit pravdu dál.
3 Endure as I do what we suffer for Christ Jesus, like a good soldier [endures what he suffers].
Jako řádný bojovník Ježíše Krista ochotně snášej nepohodlí a útrapy.
4 [You know that] soldiers, in order to please their captain, do not (become involved in civilian affairs/spend time doing other kinds of work) [MET]. [So, like soldiers, do not let other matters (distract you as you serve/hinder you from serving]) [Christ Jesus]!
Kdo stojí v boji, nemá čas na soukromé záležitosti, nechce-li upadnout v nelibost u velitele.
5 [Similarly, you know that] athletes who do not obey the rules of the contest will not be given {not win} the prize [MET]. [So, like athletes, do all that Christ Jesus has commanded so that God will reward you]!
I sportovec musí dodržovat pravidla, nemá-li být diskvalifikován.
6 [You also know that] a hard-working farmer should be the first to receive some of the harvest [MET]. [So, like farmers, work hard for Christ Jesus and expect that God will reward you]!
Pracuj pilně jako rolník, který sklidí úrodu jen tehdy, když ji zaléval svým potem.
7 Think about what I have just written, because, [if you do], the Lord will enable you to understand everything [that you need to understand].
Přemýšlej, co tím chci říci. Pán ti jistě pomůže zaujmout ke všemu správný postoj.
8 [Endure everything by] remembering how Jesus Christ [endured it when he suffered]. Remember that he came back to life {God raised him from the dead} and [God affirmed/declared him to be king as] his ancestor [King] David was. Those are things that I tell to people when I tell them the message [about Christ].
Nikdy nezapomeň, že Ježíš Kristus jako člověk pochází z královského Davidova rodu. Zároveň však svým zmrtvýchvstáním dokázal, že je Bohem.
9 I am suffering [here in prison] because [some people oppose] the good message [that I tell]. They have even put me in chains as if I were a criminal. Nevertheless, the message from God is not chained {nothing is preventing [MET] [others from proclaiming] the message from God}.
Jenom proto, že jsem tyto velké pravdy hlásal, jsem teď přikován ve vězení jako nějaký zločinec. Ale Boží slovo nikdo neuváže na řetěz jako mne.
10 Therefore I [willingly] endure all [that I am suffering] for the sake of those [whom God has] chosen. [I do this] in order that Christ Jesus will save them, too, and that they will be forever with [him in the] glorious [place where he is]. (aiōnios g166)
A tak to s radostí snáším pro ty, kterým chce Bůh dát záchranu a věčnou slávu v Kristu Ježíši. (aiōnios g166)
11 [Endure everything as you remember] that these words [that we all say/sing] (OR, [that we teach people]) [are trustworthy]: Since we have stopped behaving as we did in the past, as though we died when he died, we shall also live with him.
Utěšuje mne vědomí, že trpět a zemřít pro Krista znamená taky žít s ním na věčnosti,
12 Since we are also patiently enduring what we suffer, we shall also rule with him. But if we say that we do not know him, he also will say that he does not know us.
a kdo vydrží s ním všechna utrpení zde, bude s ním jednou vládnout. Kdo se ho však tady zřekne, toho se zřekne i on.
13 If we (are unfaithful/stop doing what he tells us to do), he will treat us just like he promised to do, because he (can never be untrue to himself/always does what he says that he will do).
Ale i když my zklameme jeho důvěru, on nám věrně stojí po boku, protože neumí být nevěrný.
14 [Those whom you appointed to teach others] God’s truth, keep reminding them about these things that [I have told you]. Tell them strongly that, since God knows what they are doing (OR, that God [will judge them for everything that is wrong that they do, and therefore]) they must not quarrel (about words/about matters that are not important), [because, when teachers quarrel, it helps] no one, [and because, when they quarrel, they spiritually] destroy those who hear them (OR, they cause those who hear [them to] quit (being committed [to Christ]/believing [in Christ]).)
Připomínej to vždycky znovu a v Boží autoritě umlčuj hádky o slovíčka; nepřispívají k ničemu, leda ke zmatku u posluchačů.
15 (Do your best/Try hard) to be the kind of person that God will approve of. [Be like a] good worker as you teach the true message accurately. If a worker works well, he will not need to be ashamed of (OR, will be pleased about) [what he does].
Snaž se být užitečným Božím pracovníkem, Boží pravdy hlásej čistě a jasně, abys mohl své dílo odevzdat bez obav, že propadne.
16 (Stay away from/Do not talk with) [those who talk foolishly and] ([godlessly/say things that displease God]), because [those who talk foolishly] will become even more (ungodly/displeasing to God),
Vyhýbej se lidem, kteří si libují v planých diskusích a tím odvádějí od Boha.
17 and [because] their message will [harm people] [SIM] [like] gangrene/cancer does. [You know] Hymenaeus and Philetus. They are [two] such people [who talk in this manner].
Jejich bludy působí zhoubně jako rakovina. Patří k nim i Hymenaios a Filétos,
18 [Specifically], they teach a wrong message; [that is], they say [wrongly that God will not cause dead people to live again because] he has already given us [spiritual] life. [They claim that our spiritual life is the only new life that we will receive. By saying that], they cause some people
kteří řadu křesťanů pomátli učením, že vzkříšení mrtvých už nastalo.
19 not to continue to believe [in Christ]. However, [the congregations of] God are strong [MET]. [They are like] a strong foundation on which is written: “The Lord knows the people who really belong to him,” and “Every person who calls Jesus [MTY] ‘Lord’ must stop doing wicked things”.
Ale Boží pravda stojí pevně jako skála, kterou nic neotřese, jako základní kámen, na němž je napsáno: „Bůh zná ty, kdo mu patří“a „Kdo vyznává Boha, odvrať se od bezbožností“.
20 In a wealthy person’s house there are not only utensils made of gold and of silver, but also utensils made of wood and of clay. The gold and silver [utensils are used] at special [occasions/events], and the others are used at ordinary [occasions. Similarly, in a congregation there are those who] ([are ready/desire]) [to do great things for the Lord Jesus, and there are those like the teachers of false doctrines/teachings who are not].
V zámožných domácnostech bývá zlaté a stříbrné nádobí pro slavnostní příležitosti; dřevěné a hliněné se užívá jen v kuchyni nebo na odpadky.
21 Therefore, those who rid themselves of [what is evil in their lives] will be able to [work well for the Lord. They will be like] utensils [MET] used at special [occasions], set apart for and especially useful to the owner [of the big house. They will be like fine utensils] that have been prepared {are ready} to do any kind of good work.
Když si s těmi bludaři nezadáš, zůstaneš vzácnou nádobou, kterou bude sám Kristus moci použít pro své vznešené účely.
22 [Because of that], you [(sg)] must avoid doing the wrong actions that [many] young people desire to do. Instead, you must earnestly do right actions, believe [the true teaching], love [God and others, and you must continually be at] peace with those who ask the Lord [to help them and who are] pure in every way (OR, who serve [Jesus] faithfully).
Buď na stráži před nebezpečími, která obkličují mladého člověka. Pěstuj v sobě víru a lásku ve společenství s těmi, kdo Pána milují z čistého srdce.
23 Do not talk [with anyone who] foolishly [wants] to argue about matters that are not important. [Do not talk with them], because you know that [when people talk about foolish things], they begin to quarrel.
Znovu ti připomínám, nepouštěj se do takových debat, které lidi jen rozeštvávají.
24 But those who serve the Lord must not quarrel. Instead, they should be kind to all people, they should be able to teach [God’s truth well], and they should be patient [with people].
Kristův služebník se nesmí hádat; musí být taktní a trpělivě
25 [That is, they should] gently instruct/teach people who oppose [the true message. They should do that] in order that perhaps God will cause others to completely change what they think, so that they may acknowledge/believe the true [message].
poučovat toho, kdo se mýlí. Když ti někdo odporuje, zůstaň přesto vlídný;
26 In that way they may get free from [what is like] [MET] a trap [set by] the devil. The devil has deceived them in order that [they might do] what he wants [them to do].
možná, že ho tím s Boží pomocí snáze přesvědčíš o jeho omylu a on unikne z ďábelské léčky.
