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.
Então, meu filho, cresça forte na graça que há em Cristo Jesus.
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.
Compartilhe tudo o que você me ouviu dizer na frente de muitas testemunhas com aqueles que são dignos de confiança e que podem ensinar a palavra de Deus para outros também.
3 Endure as I do what we suffer for Christ Jesus, like a good soldier [endures what he suffers].
Sofra comigo, como um bom soldado de Cristo Jesus.
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]!
Um soldado, quando está servindo, não fica preso a assuntos da vida cotidiana. Ele quer agradar ao seu comandante.
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]!
Igualmente, os atletas que disputam uma competição não ganham o prêmio caso não sigam as regras.
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]!
O fazendeiro que faz todo o trabalho pesado deve ser o primeiro a se beneficiar da colheita.
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].
Pense sobre o que estou lhe dizendo. O Senhor o ajudará a compreender tudo isso.
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].
Foque o seu pensamento em Jesus Cristo, descendente de Davi, que ressuscitou dos mortos. Este é o meu evangelho.
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}.
E é por causa dele que estou aqui sofrendo por estar aprisionado, como se eu fosse um criminoso. Mas, a palavra de Deus não está presa.
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)
Apesar disso, eu suporto tudo pelo bem do povo de Deus. Assim, eles podem conseguir a salvação de Cristo Jesus, que é a glória eterna. (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.
O que direi a seguir é digno de confiança: “Se nós morrermos com ele, também viveremos com ele.
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.
Se nós seguirmos adiante com ele, também reinaremos com ele. Se nós o negarmos, ele também nos negará.
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).
Se nós não formos confiáveis, ele ainda assim é digno de confiança, pois ele não pode ser falso para si mesmo.”
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]).)
É isso que você deve recomendar. Fale para as pessoas, diante de Deus, que não devem ter discussões sem sentido por causa de palavras. Pois isso apenas faz mal aos que ouvem as discussões.
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].
Faça todo o possível para que você consiga a completa aprovação de Deus. Seja um trabalhador que não tem do que se envergonhar, pois usa a palavra da verdade da maneira correta.
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),
Evite conversas inúteis, pois as pessoas que fazem isso estão se afastando de Deus.
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].
O que elas ensinam é tão destrutivo quanto a gangrena, que destrói a saúde da carne. Himeneu e Fileto são pessoas desse tipo.
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
Eles se desviaram da verdade, ao dizer que a ressurreição já aconteceu, o que acabou destruindo a fé de algumas pessoas em Deus.
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”.
Mas, a fundação sólida e confiável de Deus continua firme com estes dizeres: “O Senhor conhece aqueles que pertencem a ele” e: “Todos os que dizem pertencer ao Senhor devem se afastar de tudo que é mau.”
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].
Em uma grande casa não há apenas cálices e tigelas feitos de ouro e de prata. Também há os que são feitos de madeira e de barro. Alguns são feitos para um uso especial, enquanto outros são usados no dia a dia.
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.
Então, se você se livrar do que é mau, se tornará um cálice ou uma tigela que é sagrada e especial, útil ao Senhor e pronto para fazer tudo o que é bom.
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).
Fuja de tudo que acende os desejos da juventude. Corra atrás do que é justo e digno de confiança. Vá atrás do amor e da paz, juntamente com aqueles que são cristãos fiéis e puros.
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.
Evite discussões tolas e infantis, pois você sabe que elas só levam a brigas.
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].
Saiba que o servo do Senhor não deve viver brigando, mas ser gentil com todos, capaz de ensinar, ser paciente,
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].
e de, gentilmente, corrigir quem é contrário a ele. Talvez Deus possa fazer com que essas pessoas venham a se arrepender e a entender a verdade.
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].
Assim, elas podem cair em si e escapar da armadilha do diabo. Pois o Maligno capturou essas pessoas e as obriga a fazer o que ele quer.
