< 2 Timothy 4 >
1 Christ Jesus [is going to come back and] judge those who are living [when he comes] and those who will have died. He will judge them [concerning what rewards they deserve, and] he will rule everyone. So, [knowing that] he and God are watching [everything that we do], I solemnly/earnestly command you
Protož já osvědčuji před oblíčejem Božím a Pána Jezukrista, kterýž má souditi živé i mrtvé v příchodu svém slavném a království svém,
2 that you proclaim the [true] message to people. Always be ready/prepared [to proclaim it], whether people want to hear it or not. [Some people are saying things that are not correct]; (refute their teaching/show why their teaching is wrong). Rebuke them when they are doing wrong. Tell them what they ought to do. Be very patient while you teach them.
Kaž slovo Boží, ponoukej v čas neb ne v čas, tresci, žehři, napomínej, ve vší tichosti a učení.
3 [Do these things] because there will be a time when people will not listen to good teaching. Instead, they will bring in many teachers for themselves who will tell them just what they want to hear [IDM]. [The reason that they will bring in such teachers is] that they want to do the evil things that they desire.
Nebo přijde čas, že zdravého učení nebudou trpěti, ale majíce svrablavé uši, podlé svých vlastních žádostí shromažďovati sami sobě budou učitele.
4 That is, they will not listen to [MTY] what is true, but will listen instead to [strange] stories from our ancestors.
A odvrátíť uši od pravdy, a k básněm obrátí.
5 [Furthermore, I command that] you always control what you think and do. [Be willing] to endure hardships/suffering. Your work should be telling people the message [about Christ Jesus]. As you serve [the Lord], do everything that [God has told] you to do.
Ale ty ve všem buď bedliv, protivenství snášej, dílo kazatele konej, dokazuj toho dostatečně, že jsi věrný služebník.
6 [Timothy, I say these things to] you because as for me, [it is as though] [MET] [they are now about to kill me. It is as though my blood will] be poured out {they will kill me} [as a sacrifice on the altar]; that is, [I know] that it is the time for me to die [EUP].
Nebo já se již k tomu blížím, abych obětován byl, a čas rozdělení mého nastává.
7 [And as to telling people the] good [message and defending it], I have (exerted myself thoroughly/done it with all my energy) [MET], [like a boxer does. As to doing] the work that God gave me to do, I have completed it, [like a runner who finishes] [MET] the race. [As to] what we believe, I (have been loyal to it/continue to believe it).
Boj výborný bojoval jsem, běh jsem dokonal, víru jsem zachoval.
8 [So, like people award] a prize [MET] [to the winner of a race], the Lord, who judges rightly, will give me a reward [because I have lived] righteously. He will give me that reward when [MTY] [he judges people]. And not only [will he reward] me, but he will also reward all those who very much want him to come back.
Již za tím odložena jest mi koruna spravedlnosti, kterouž dá mi v onen den Pán, ten spravedlivý soudce, a netoliko mně, ale i všechněm těm, kteříž milují to slavné příští jeho.
9 (Do your best/Try hard) to come to me soon.
Přičiň se k tomu, abys ke mně brzo přišel.
10 [I say that] because Demas has left me. He wanted very much [the good things that he might enjoy] [MTY] in this world [right now], and so he went to Thessalonica [city]. Crescens [went to serve the Lord] in Galatia [province], and Titus went to Dalmatia [district]. (aiōn )
Nebo Démas mne opustil, zamilovav tento svět, a šel do Tessaloniky, Krescens do Galacie, Titus do Dalmacie. (aiōn )
11 Luke is the only one who is still with me [of those who were helping me. And when you come], bring Mark with you, because he is useful to help me in my work.
Sám toliko Lukáš se mnou jest. Marka vezmi s sebou; nebo jest mi velmi potřebný k službě.
12 Tychicus [cannot help me because] I sent him to Ephesus [city].
Tychikať jsem poslal do Efezu.
13 And when you come, bring the coat that I left with Carpus in Troas [city]. Also, bring the books, but (most of all/especially) [I want] (the parchments/the animal skins) [on which important things are written].
Truhličku, kteréž jsem nechal v Troadě u Karpa, když půjdeš, přines, i knihy, zvláště pargamén.
14 Alexander, the man who makes things from metal, did many evil/harmful things to me. The Lord will punish him for what he did.
Alexander kotlář mnoho mi zlého způsobil; odplatiž jemu Pán podlé skutků jeho.
15 So you, too, must beware of him. [He will try to destroy your work if he can], because he very much opposes the message that we [proclaim].
Kteréhož i ty se vystříhej; nebo velmi se protivil řečem našim.
16 When I first defended myself [in court here], no one came along [to help defend] me. Instead, they all left me. [I pray] that it will not be counted against {[God] will forgive} them [LIT] [for leaving me].
Při prvním mém odpovídání žádný se mnou nebyl, ale všickni mne opustili. Nebudiž jim to počítáno.
17 Nevertheless, the Lord was with me and strengthened me. He enabled me to fully preach the message, and all the non-Jewish people [in the court] (OR, people from many nations) heard it. And I was rescued [by the Lord] {[the Lord] rescued me} [from great danger, as if I were taken] [MET] out of a lion’s (OR, wild animal’s) mouth.
Pán pak byl se mnou, a posilnil mne, aby skrze mne utvrzeno bylo kázaní, a slyšeli je všickni národové. I vytržen jsem byl z úst lva.
18 [Therefore, I am sure that] the Lord will rescue me from everything that is truly evil and will bring me safely to heaven, where he rules. Praise him forever! (Amen!/May it be so!) (aiōn )
A vysvobodíť mne Pán od každého skutku zlého, a zachovává k království svému nebeskému, jemuž sláva na věky věků. Amen. (aiōn )
19 Greet [for me] Priscilla and [her husband] Aquila and the family of Onesiphorus.
Pozdrav Prišky a Akvile, i Oneziforova domu.
20 Erastus stayed in Corinth [city]. Trophimus, I left in Miletus [city] because he was sick.
Erastus zůstal v Korintu, Trofima pak nechal jsem v Milétu nemocného.
21 (Do your best/Try hard) to come to me before (the stormy season/winter). Eubulus, Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and many other fellow believers [in this city] (send their greetings to/say that they are thinking affectionately about) you.
Pospěš před zimou přijíti. Pozdravuje tebe Eubulus a Pudens a Línus a Klaudia, i všickni bratří.
22 [I pray that] the Lord will [help you in] your spirit, [Timothy, and] that [he] will act kindly toward all of you [believers who are there].
Pán Ježíš Kristus s duchem tvým. Milost Boží s vámi. Amen.
