2 Timothy 4
1 I charge [thee] therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;
Zato te rotim pred Bogom in Gospodom Jezusom Kristusom, ki bo sodil žive in mrtve ob njegovi pojavitvi in njegovem kraljestvu:
2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long-suffering and doctrine.
oznanjuj besedo, bodi takojšen v sezoni, izven sezone, grajaj, oštevaj, spodbujaj z vso potrpežljivostjo in naukom.
3 For the time will come, when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts will they multiply to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
Kajti prišel bo čas, ko ne bodo hoteli prenašati zdravega nauka, ampak si bodo po svojih lastnih poželenjih, ker imajo željna ušesa, kopičili učitelje
4 And they will turn away [their] ears from the truth, and will be turned to fables.
in svoja ušesa bodo odvračali od resnice in zapeljani bodo v bajke.
5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.
Toda ti pazi v vseh stvareh, pretrpi stiske, opravi delo evangelista, naredi popoln dokaz svoje službe.
6 For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.
Kajti sedaj sem pripravljen, da bom žrtvovan in čas mojega odhoda je blizu.
7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished [my] course, I have kept the faith:
Bojeval sem dober boj, zaključil svoj tek, vero ohranil.
8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me at that day: and not to me only, but to all them also that love his appearing.
Odslej je zame prihranjena krona pravičnosti, ki mi jo bo na tisti dan dal Gospod, pravičen sodnik; in ne samo meni, temveč tudi vsem tem, ki ljubijo njegovo pojavitev.
9 Do thy diligence to come shortly to me:
Uporabi svojo prizadevnost, da v kratkem prideš k meni,
10 For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and hath departed to Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia. (aiōn g165)
kajti Demá me je zapustil, ker je vzljubil ta sedanji svet in je odpotoval v Tesaloníko; Kreskens v Galatijo, Tit v Dalmacijo. (aiōn g165)
11 Luke only is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry.
Samo Luka je z menoj. Vzemi Marka in ga privedi s seboj, kajti koristen mi je za službo.
12 And Tychicus have I sent to Ephesus.
Tihika pa sem poslal v Efez.
13 The cloke that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest, bring [with thee], and the books, [but] especially the parchments.
Ko prideš, prinesi s seboj ogrinjalo, ki sem ga pustil v Troádi, pri Karpu in knjige in še posebej pergamente.
14 Alexander the copper-smith did me much evil: the Lord reward him according to his works:
Kotlar Aleksander mi je storil mnogo hudega. Gospod ga nagradi glede na njegova dela.
15 Of whom be thou aware also; for he hath greatly withstood our words.
Njega se tudi ti pazi, kajti silno se je upiral našim besedam.
16 At my first answer no man stood with me, but all [men] forsook me: [I pray God] that it may not be laid to their charge.
Ob mojem prvem zagovoru noben človek ni stal z menoj, temveč so me vsi ljudje zapustili. Prosim Boga, da to ne bo prišlo v poštev k njihovi obtožnici.
17 Notwithstanding, the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and [that] all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.
Vendar je z menoj stal Gospod in me krepil, da bi lahko po meni postalo oznanjevanje popolnoma znano in da bi vsi pogani lahko slišali; in rešen sem bil iz levjih ust.
18 And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve [me] to his heavenly kingdom; to whom [be] glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
In Gospod me bo osvobodil iz vsakega zlega dela in me ohranil za svoje nebeško kraljestvo. Njemu bodi slava na veke vekov. Amen. (aiōn g165)
19 Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus.
Pozdravi Prisko in Ákvila ter Onezíforjevo družino.
20 Erastus abode at Corinth: but Trophimus I have left at Miletum sick.
Erást je ostal v Korintu, le Trofima sem bolnega pustil v Miletu.
21 Do thy diligence to come before winter. Eubulus greeteth thee, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren.
Uporabi svojo prizadevnost, da prideš pred zimo. Pozdravljajo te Evbúl in Pudent in Lin in Klavdija ter vsi bratje.
22 The Lord Jesus Christ [be] with thy spirit. Grace [be] with you. Amen.
Gospod Jezus Kristus bodi s tvojim duhom. Milost bodi z vami. Amen. [Druga poslanica Timóteju, prvemu določenemu duhovnemu nadzorniku cerkve Efežanov, je bila napisana iz Rima, ko je bil Pavel drugič priveden pred Nerona.]
