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
Tanrı'nın ve dirilerle ölüleri yargılayacak olan Mesih İsa'nın önünde, O'nun gelişi ve egemenliği hakkı için sana buyuruyorum: Tanrı sözünü duyur. Zaman uygun olsun olmasın, bu görevi sürdür. İnsanları tam bir sabırla eğiterek ikna et, uyar, isteklendir.
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.
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.
Çünkü öyle bir zaman gelecek ki, sağlam öğretiye katlanamayacaklar. Kulaklarını okşayan sözler duymak için çevrelerine kendi arzularına uygun öğretmenler toplayacaklar.
4 That is, they will not listen to [MTY] what is true, but will listen instead to [strange] stories from our ancestors.
Kulaklarını gerçeğe tıkayıp masallara sapacaklar.
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.
Ama sen her durumda ayık ol, sıkıntıya göğüs ger, müjdeci olarak işini yap, görevini tamamla.
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].
Çünkü kanım adak şarabı gibi dökülmek üzere. Benim için ayrılma zamanı geldi.
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).
Yüce mücadeleyi sürdürdüm, yarışı bitirdim, imanı korudum.
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.
Bundan böyle doğruluk tacı benim için hazır duruyor. Adil yargıç olan Rab o gün bu tacı bana, yalnız bana değil, O'nun gelişini özlemle beklemiş olanların hepsine verecektir.
9 (Do your best/Try hard) to come to me soon.
Yanıma tez gelmeye gayret et.
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)
Çünkü Dimas bu dünyayı sevdiği için beni terk edip Selanik'e gitti. Kriskis Galatya'ya, Titus Dalmaçya'ya gitti. (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.
Yanımda yalnız Luka var. Markos'u alıp beraberinde getir, yapacağım hizmette bana yardım eder.
12 Tychicus [cannot help me because] I sent him to Ephesus [city].
Tihikos'u Efes'e gönderdim.
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].
Troas'ta Karp'ın yanında bıraktığım abayı, kitapları, özellikle yazı derilerini gelirken beraberinde getir.
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.
Bakırcı İskender bana çok kötülük etti. Rab ona yaptıklarının karşılığını verecektir.
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].
Sen de ondan sakın. Çünkü söylediklerimize şiddetle karşı koydu.
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].
İlk savunmamda benden yana çıkan olmadı, hepsi beni terk etti. Bunun hesabı onlardan sorulmasın.
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.
Ama Tanrı bildirisi aracılığımla tam olarak açıklansın, bütün uluslar bunu duysun diye Rab yardımıma gelip beni güçlendirdi. Aslanın ağzından böyle kurtuldum!
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)
Rab beni her kötülükten kurtarıp güvenlik içinde göksel egemenliğine ulaştıracak. Sonsuzlara dek O'na yücelik olsun! Amin. (aiōn g165)
19 Greet [for me] Priscilla and [her husband] Aquila and the family of Onesiphorus.
Priska, Akvila ve Onisiforos'un ev halkına selam söyle.
20 Erastus stayed in Corinth [city]. Trophimus, I left in Miletus [city] because he was sick.
Erastus, Korint'te kaldı. Trofimos'u da Milet'te hasta bıraktım.
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.
Kış bastırmadan gelmeye gayret et. Evvulus, Pudens, Linus, Klavdiya ve bütün kardeşler sana selam ederler.
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].
Rab ruhunla birlikte olsun. Tanrı'nın lütfu sizlerle olsun.
