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
Rotim torej jaz pred Bogom in Gospodom Jezusom Kristusom, kateri bode kdaj sodil žive in mrtve po prihodu svojem in po kraljestvu svojem,
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.
Razglašaj besedo, ne odjenjaj o priliki, nepriliki; svári, kaznuj, opominjaj v vsej potrpežljivosti in uku.
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.
Kajti bode čas, ko ne bodo prenašali zdravega uka, nego po lastnem poželenji kopičili si učitelje, ker jih ušesa srbé.
4 That is, they will not listen to [MTY] what is true, but will listen instead to [strange] stories from our ancestors.
In od resnice bodo odvračali ušesa in obračali se k basnim.
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.
Ti pa bodi trezen v vsem, trpi, delo opravljaj evangelista, izpolnjuj službo svojo.
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].
Kajti jaz bodem skoraj žrtvovan, in ločitve moje čas je blizu.
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).
Bojeval sem lepi boj, dopolnil ték, ohranil vero;
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.
Že mi je pripravljen venec pravice, katerega mi podelí Gospod tisti dan, pravični sodnik; ne pa meni samo, nego tudi vsem, kateri so ljubili prihod njegov.
9 (Do your best/Try hard) to come to me soon.
Prizadeni si, da prideš skoraj k meni.
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 g165)
Kajti Dema me je zapustil iz ljubezni do tega sveta, in potoval je v Tesaloniko; Krescent v Galacijo, Tit v Dalmacijo; (aiōn g165)
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.
Luka je sam pri meni. Marka vzemi in pripelji sè seboj, kajti koristen mi je za pomočnika.
12 Tychicus [cannot help me because] I sent him to Ephesus [city].
Tihika pa sem poslal v Efez.
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].
Plašč, ki sem ga pustil v Troadi pri Karpu, prinesi gredé, in knjige, zlasti pergamene.
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.
Aleksander kovač mi je storil mnogo hudega; povrni mu Gospod po delih njegovih!
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].
Njega se tudi tí pazi, ker silno nasprotuje besedam 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].
O prvem zagovarjanji mojem ni mi bilo nikogar na strani, nego vsi so me bili zapustili; naj se jim ne všteva!
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.
Gospod pa mi je bil na pómoč in ojačil me, da se po meni zvrši oznanilo, in ga čujejo vsi pogani; in otét sem bil levu iz žrela.
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 g165)
In otél me bode Gospod vsakega hudega dela in rešil v kraljestvo svoje nebeško; njemu slava na vekov veke! Amen. (aiōn g165)
19 Greet [for me] Priscilla and [her husband] Aquila and the family of Onesiphorus.
Pozdravi Prisko in Akvilo, in Onezifora hišo.
20 Erastus stayed in Corinth [city]. Trophimus, I left in Miletus [city] because he was sick.
Erast je ostal v Korintu; Trofima pa sem pustil bolnega v Miletu.
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.
Prizadeni si, da prideš pred zimo. Pozdravlja te Evbúl in Pudent in Lin in Klavdija in bratje vsi.
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].
Gospod Jezus Kristus z duhom tvojim! Milost z vami! Amen. Timoteju list drugi, prvemu glavarju izvoljenemu občine Efežanske, pisan iz Rima, ko je bil Pavel v drugič pred cesarjem Neronom.
