2 Timothy 3
1 [You need to] realize that during the last days [MTY] [before Christ returns, evil people will make] it difficult [for believers to behave as they should].
Mutta tiedä se, että viimeisinä päivinä on tuleva vaikeita aikoja.
2 This is because [such evil] people will be habitually loving themselves and loving money. They will habitually boast [about themselves], they will be proud, and will often say bad things [about others. They] will disobey [their] parents. They will not be thankful, nor will they respect [anything that is good].
Sillä ihmiset ovat silloin itserakkaita, rahanahneita, kerskailijoita, ylpeitä, herjaajia, vanhemmilleen tottelemattomia, kiittämättömiä, epähurskaita,
3 They will not [even] love their own family, nor agree with [anybody] (OR, [they never forgive anyone]). They will tell lies about people. They will not control what they say and do, nor allow anyone to control them. They will not love [anything that is] good.
rakkaudettomia, epäsopuisia, panettelijoita, hillittömiä, raakoja, hyvän vihamiehiä,
4 They will (betray others/hand others over to their enemies) and act foolishly. They will be overly/very proud of themselves, and they will love to please themselves instead of loving God.
pettureita, väkivaltaisia, pöyhkeitä, hekumaa enemmän kuin Jumalaa rakastavia;
5 [And, although they will] pretend that they worship God, they will not let [God’s Spirit] work powerfully [in their lives]. Do not associate with such people (OR, Do not let such people join [your congregation]),
heissä on jumalisuuden ulkokuori, mutta he kieltävät sen voiman. Senkaltaisia karta.
6 because some such [people, even now], subtly/deceivingly persuade foolish women to let them come into their houses, and then they deceive those women [so that they control what those women think. These women] have been burdened with sins {have sinned very much} and they have been led to do {they do} the many [evil] things that they strongly desire to do.
Sillä niitä ovat ne, jotka tungettelevat taloihin ja pauloihinsa kietovat syntien rasittamia ja monenlaisten himojen heiteltäviä naisparkoja,
7 [Even though] they are always [wanting to] learn new things, they are never able to recognize what is true.
jotka aina ovat opetusta ottamassa, eivätkä koskaan voi päästä totuuden tuntemiseen.
8 Just like Jannes and Jambres [long ago] very much opposed Moses, so also some [people] now oppose the true [message. Those] people think only what is evil. God rejects them [because they do not] believe [what is true].
Ja niinkuin Jannes ja Jambres vastustivat Moosesta, niin nuokin vastustavat totuutta, nuo mieleltään turmeltuneet ihmiset, jotka eivät uskonkoetuksissa kestä.
9 Nevertheless, they will not continue to succeed, because most [HYP] people will understand clearly that such people are foolish, just like people also realized [clearly that Jannes and Jambres were foolish].
Mutta he eivät pitemmälle edisty, sillä heidän mielettömyytensä on käyvä ilmeiseksi kaikille, niinkuin noidenkin mielettömyys kävi ilmi.
10 But as for yourself, you have fully known what I have taught. You have known [and imitated] the way in which I conducted my life, [and] what I have been trying to do. [You have] trusted [God as] I have. You have been patient as I have been. [You have] loved people [as] I have, and [you have] endured [as you suffered like] I have [suffered].
Mutta sinä olet seurannut minun opetustani, vaellustani, aivoitustani, uskoani, pitkämielisyyttäni, rakkauttani, kärsivällisyyttäni,
11 [You know how I endured many times when people] harmed me. [They] caused me to suffer at Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra [cities]. [But although they caused me to suffer], I endured it; and every time [they] did those things to me, the Lord rescued me.
vainoissa ja kärsimyksissä, samanlaisissa kuin minun osakseni tuli Antiokiassa, Ikonionissa ja Lystrassa. Mimmoisia vainoja olenkaan kärsinyt, ja kaikista Herra on minut pelastanut!
12 (Indeed/You know that), for us [(inc)] who want to live (in a [godly manner/] a [manner that pleases God]), we will always be persecuted {there will always be people who will cause us to suffer} because we [have a close relationship with] Christ Jesus.
Ja kaikki, jotka tahtovat elää jumalisesti Kristuksessa Jeesuksessa, joutuvat vainottaviksi.
13 Evil people (OR, And those) who deceive other people will (get worse/teach things that are more and more wrong). [Specifically, they will] deceive other people, and [those who hear them will] deceive others.
Mutta pahat ihmiset ja petturit menevät yhä pitemmälle pahuudessa, eksyttäen ja eksyen.
14 But you, in contrast, must continue [to believe] what you have learned and (been assured of/firmly believe). [I know that you are confident/sure that it is true because] you know that you have learned it from all [of us who taught you] ([God’s truth/what is right]).
Mutta pysy sinä siinä, minkä olet oppinut ja mistä olet varma, koska tiedät, keiltä olet sen oppinut,
15 From [the time when you were] a child you have known the holy writings/Scriptures. [You now know that] they enabled you to become wise so that God saved you because of your believing in Christ Jesus.
ja koska jo lapsuudestasi saakka tunnet pyhät kirjoitukset, jotka voivat tehdä sinut viisaaksi, niin että pelastut uskon kautta, joka on Kristuksessa Jeesuksessa.
16 God (inspired/put into men’s minds) everything [that is written] in the Scriptures {they [wrote] in the holy writings}, and those writings are all useful to teach [us what is true], to cause us to know [when we are] wrong and then (to correct us/to show us what we have done that is wrong), and to train/teach us to do what is right.
Jokainen kirjoitus, joka on syntynyt Jumalan Hengen vaikutuksesta, on myös hyödyllinen opetukseksi, nuhteeksi, ojennukseksi, kasvatukseksi vanhurskaudessa,
17 What [is written] {they wrote} is useful to help us who [serve] God to be ready/prepared to do all that we should do. By means of it, we are equipped {God gives us what we need} in order to do every [kind of] good deeds.
että Jumalan ihminen olisi täydellinen, kaikkiin hyviin tekoihin valmistunut.
