1 Timothy 6
1 Let all who are under the yoke as slaves regard their own masters as worthy of all honor. They should do this so that the name of God and the teaching might not be blasphemed.
Toliko služabnikov, kot jih je podjarmljenih, naj imajo svoje lastne gospodarje za vredne vse časti, da se zoper Božje ime in njegov nauk ne bi izrekalo bogokletje.
2 The slaves who have believing masters should not disrespect them because they are brothers. Instead, they should serve them all the more. For the masters who are helped by their work are believers and are loved. Teach and declare these things.
In tisti, ki imajo verne gospodarje, naj jih ne prezirajo zato, ker so bratje; temveč naj jim raje služijo, ker so zvesti in ljubljeni, soudeleženci dobička. Te stvari úči in spodbujaj.
3 If anyone teaches something that does not agree with the reliable instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ and to godly teaching,
Če katerikoli človek uči drugače in ne pritrjuje zdravim besedam, celó besedam našega Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa in nauku, ki je glede na bogaboječnost;
4 he is proud and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy interest in controversies and arguments about words that result in envy, strife, insults, evil suspicions,
je ponosen in ničesar ne ve, marveč boleha glede vprašanj in besednih prepirov, od česar prihajajo zavist, prepir, posmehovanja, hudobna domnevanja,
5 and constant conflict between people with depraved minds. They have lost the truth and they think that godliness is a way to get more money.
sprevržena razpravljanja ljudi izprijenih misli in oropanih resnice, ki mislijo, da je bogaboječnost [vir] dobička. Od takšnih se umaknite.
6 Now godliness with contentment is great gain.
Toda bogaboječnost je, skupaj z zadovoljstvom, velik dobiček.
7 For we have brought nothing into the world. Neither are we able to take out anything.
Kajti ničesar nismo prinesli na ta svet in nedvomno je, [da] ničesar ne moremo odnesti.
8 Instead, let us be satisfied with food and clothing.
In bodimo zadovoljni s tem, da imamo hrano in obleko.
9 Now those who want to become wealthy fall into temptation, into a trap. They fall into many foolish and harmful passions, and into whatever else makes people sink into ruin and destruction.
Toda tisti, ki hočejo biti bogati, padejo v skušnjavo in zanko ter v mnoga nespametna in škodljiva poželenja, ki ljudi potopijo v uničenje in pogubo.
10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people who desire it have been mislead away from the faith and have pierced themselves with much grief.
Kajti ljubezen do denarja je korenina vsega zla; za katerim so nekateri zahlepeli, zašli od vere in se prebodli z mnogimi bridkostmi.
11 But you, man of God, flee from these things. Pursue righteousness, godliness, faithfulness, love, endurance, and gentleness.
Toda ti, oh Božji mož, beži od teh stvari in si prizadevaj za pravičnost, bogaboječnost, vero, ljubezen, potrpežljivost in krotkost.
12 Fight the good fight of faith. Take hold of the everlasting life to which you were called, and about which you gave the good confession before many witnesses. (aiōnios g166)
Bojuj dober boj vere, oprimi se večnega življenja, kamor si tudi poklican in si pred mnogimi pričami izpovedal dobro izpoved. (aiōnios g166)
13 I give you this command before God, who causes all things to live, and before Christ Jesus, who spoke what is true to Pontius Pilate:
Dajem ti naročilo v očeh Boga, ki oživlja vse stvari in pred Kristusom Jezusom, ki je pred Poncijem Pilatom pričeval dobro priznanje;
14 Keep the commandment without spot or blame until the appearance of our Lord Jesus Christ.
da ohraniš to zapoved brez madeža, brezgrajno do pojavitve našega Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa,
15 God will reveal Christ's appearing at the right time—God, the blessed and only Sovereign, the King who reigns and the Lord who rules.
ki jo bo ob svojih časih pokazal, ki je blagoslovljen in edini Vladar, Kralj kraljev in Gospod gospodov;
16 Only he has immortality and dwells in inapproachable light. No man sees him or is able to view him. To him be honor and eternal power. Amen. (aiōnios g166)
ki ima edini nesmrtnost in prebiva v svetlobi, ki sem mu noben človek ne more približati; katerega noben človek ni videl niti ne more videti; njemu bodi čast in večna oblast. Amen. (aiōnios g166)
17 Tell the rich in this world not to be proud, and not to hope in riches, which are uncertain. Instead, they should hope in God. He offers to us all the true riches to enjoy. (aiōn g165)
Naročajte tem, ki so na tem svetu bogati, da naj ne bodo vzvišeni niti naj ne zaupajo v negotova bogastva, temveč v živega Boga, ki nam bogato daje v uživanje vse stvari; (aiōn g165)
18 Tell them to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous, and willing to share.
da delajo dobro, da bodo bogati v dobrih delih, pripravljeni za razdeljevanje, voljni za posredovanje;
19 In that way, they will store up for themselves a good foundation for what is to come, so that they will take hold of real life.
in si v shrambi privarčevali dober temelj za čas, ki pride, da se bodo lahko oprijeli večnega življenja.
20 Timothy, protect what was given to you. Avoid the foolish talk and conflicting ideas of what is falsely called knowledge.
Oh Timótej, varuj to, kar je zaupano tvojemu varstvu, izogibajoč se oskrunjenih in praznih blebetanj ter tako imenovanih lažnih znanstvenih oporekanj,
21 Some men proclaim these things and so they have missed the faith. May grace be with you.
ki so jih nekateri izpovedovali in zašli glede vere. Milost bodi s teboj. Amen. [Prvo Timóteju je bilo napisano iz Laodikeje, ki je glavno mesto Frigije Pacatiane.]
