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.
Vahvistu siis, poikani, siinä armossa, joka on Kristuksessa Jeesuksessa.
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.
Ja minkä olet kuullut minulta ja minkä monet ovat todistaneet, usko se luotettaville miehille, jotka sitten ovat soveliaita muitakin opettamaan.
3 Endure as I do what we suffer for Christ Jesus, like a good soldier [endures what he suffers].
Kärsi vaivaa niinkuin ainakin jalo Kristuksen Jeesuksen sotamies.
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]!
Ei kukaan, joka sodassa palvelee, sekaannu elatuksen toimiin, sillä hän tahtoo olla mieliksi sille, joka on hänet palkannut.
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]!
Eihän sitäkään, joka kilpailee, seppelöidä, ellei hän kilpaile sääntöjen mukaisesti.
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]!
Peltomiehen, joka vaivaa näkee, tulee ennen muita päästä osalliseksi hedelmistä.
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].
Tarkkaa, mitä sanon; Herra on antava sinulle ymmärrystä kaikkeen.
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].
Muista Jeesusta Kristusta, joka on kuolleista herätetty ja on Daavidin siementä minun evankeliumini mukaan,
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}.
jonka julistamisessa minä kärsin vaivaa, kahleisiin asti, niinkuin pahantekijä; mutta Jumalan sana ei ole kahlehdittu.
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)
Siitä syystä minä kärsin kaikki valittujen tähden, että hekin saavuttaisivat pelastuksen, joka on Kristuksessa Jeesuksessa, ynnä iankaikkisen kirkkauden. (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.
Varma on tämä sana; sillä: jos olemme kuolleet yhdessä hänen kanssaan, saamme myös hänen kanssaan elää;
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.
jos kärsimme yhdessä, saamme hänen kanssaan myös hallita; jos kiellämme hänet, on hänkin kieltävä meidät;
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).
jos me olemme uskottomat, pysyy kuitenkin hän uskollisena; sillä itseänsä kieltää hän ei saata.
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]).)
Muistuta tästä, ja teroita heille Jumalan edessä, etteivät kiistelisi sanoista, mikä ei ole miksikään hyödyksi, vaan niiden turmioksi, jotka kuulevat.
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].
Pyri osoittautumaan Jumalalle semmoiseksi, joka koetukset kestää, työntekijäksi, joka ei työtään häpeä, joka oikein jakelee totuuden sanaa.
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),
Mutta pysy erilläsi epäpyhistä ja tyhjistä puheista, sillä niiden puhujat menevät yhä pitemmälle jumalattomuudessa,
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].
ja heidän puheensa jäytää ympäristöään niinkuin syöpä. Niitä ovat Hymeneus ja Filetus,
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
jotka ovat totuudesta eksyneet, kun sanovat, että ylösnousemus jo on tapahtunut, ja he turmelevat useiden uskon.
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”.
Kuitenkin Jumalan vahva perustus pysyy lujana, ja siinä on tämä sinetti: "Herra tuntee omansa", ja: "Luopukoon vääryydestä jokainen, joka Herran nimeä mainitsee".
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].
Mutta suuressa talossa ei ole ainoastaan kulta-ja hopea-astioita, vaan myös puu-ja saviastioita, ja toiset ovat jaloa, toiset halpaa käyttöä varten.
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.
Jos nyt joku puhdistaa itsensä tämänkaltaisista, tulee hänestä astia jaloa käyttöä varten, pyhitetty, isännälleen hyödyllinen, kaikkiin hyviin tekoihin valmis.
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).
Pakene nuoruuden himoja, harrasta vanhurskautta, uskoa, rakkautta, rauhaa niiden kanssa, jotka huutavat avuksensa Herraa puhtaasta sydämestä.
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.
Mutta vältä tyhmiä ja taitamattomia väittelyjä, sillä tiedäthän, että ne synnyttävät riitoja.
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].
Mutta Herran palvelijan ei sovi riidellä, vaan hänen tulee olla lempeä kaikkia kohtaan, kyetä opettamaan ja pahaa kärsimään;
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].
hänen tulee sävyisästi ojentaa vastustelijoita; ehkäpä Jumala antaa heille mielenmuutoksen, niin että tulevat tuntemaan totuuden
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].
ja selviävät perkeleen pauloista, joka on heidät vanginnut tahtoansa tekemään.
