Pāvila 2. Vēstule Timotejam 3
1 Bet to tev būs zināt, ka pēdīgās dienās briesmīgi laiki nāks.
[You need to] realize that during the last days [MTY] [before Christ returns, evil people will make] it difficult [for believers to behave as they should].
2 Jo cilvēki būs pašu mīļotāji, naudas kārīgi, lielīgi, lepni, zaimotāji, vecākiem nepaklausīgi, nepateicīgi, nesvēti,
This is because [such evil] people will be habitually loving themselves and loving money. They will habitually boast [about themselves], they will be proud, and will often say bad things [about others. They] will disobey [their] parents. They will not be thankful, nor will they respect [anything that is good].
3 Bez mīlestības, nesaderīgi, apmelotāji, kas nesavaldās, kas briesmīgi, kas labu nemīl,
They will not [even] love their own family, nor agree with [anybody] (OR, [they never forgive anyone]). They will tell lies about people. They will not control what they say and do, nor allow anyone to control them. They will not love [anything that is] good.
4 Nodevēji, nebēdnieki, uzpūsti, kas vairāk mīļo kārības nekā Dievu;
They will (betray others/hand others over to their enemies) and act foolishly. They will be overly/very proud of themselves, and they will love to please themselves instead of loving God.
5 Kas liekās dievbijāšanu cienījuši, bet viņas spēku aizliedz, - un no tādiem atkāpies.
[And, although they will] pretend that they worship God, they will not let [God’s Spirit] work powerfully [in their lives]. Do not associate with such people (OR, Do not let such people join [your congregation]),
6 No tādiem ir tie, kas namos ielavās un gūsta tās sieviņas, kas ar grēkiem apkrautas un no dažādām iekārošanām top valdītas,
because some such [people, even now], subtly/deceivingly persuade foolish women to let them come into their houses, and then they deceive those women [so that they control what those women think. These women] have been burdened with sins {have sinned very much} and they have been led to do {they do} the many [evil] things that they strongly desire to do.
7 Kas arvienu mācās un nekad nevar nākt pie patiesības atzīšanas.
[Even though] they are always [wanting to] learn new things, they are never able to recognize what is true.
8 Bet kā Jannes un Jambres Mozum stāvēja pretī, tāpat arī šie stāv pretī patiesībai, cilvēki, kas savā prātā samaitāti, nederīgi pie ticības lietām.
Just like Jannes and Jambres [long ago] very much opposed Moses, so also some [people] now oppose the true [message. Those] people think only what is evil. God rejects them [because they do not] believe [what is true].
9 Bet šie tālu netiks; jo šo trakums taps visiem zināms, tā kā arī pie viņiem notika.
Nevertheless, they will not continue to succeed, because most [HYP] people will understand clearly that such people are foolish, just like people also realized [clearly that Jannes and Jambres were foolish].
10 Bet tu esi dzinies pakaļ manai mācībai, vadīšanai, nodomam, ticībai, lēnprātībai, mīlestībai, pacietībai,
But as for yourself, you have fully known what I have taught. You have known [and imitated] the way in which I conducted my life, [and] what I have been trying to do. [You have] trusted [God as] I have. You have been patient as I have been. [You have] loved people [as] I have, and [you have] endured [as you suffered like] I have [suffered].
11 Tām vajāšanām, ciešanām, kas man ir notikušas Antioķijā, Ikonijā, Listrā; tādas vajāšanas es esmu panesis, un Tas Kungs mani no visām ir izrāvis.
[You know how I endured many times when people] harmed me. [They] caused me to suffer at Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra [cities]. [But although they caused me to suffer], I endured it; and every time [they] did those things to me, the Lord rescued me.
12 Un visi, kas dievbijīgi grib dzīvot iekš Kristus Jēzus, tie taps vajāti.
(Indeed/You know that), for us [(inc)] who want to live (in a [godly manner/] a [manner that pleases God]), we will always be persecuted {there will always be people who will cause us to suffer} because we [have a close relationship with] Christ Jesus.
13 Bet tie ļaunie cilvēki un viltnieki pieaugs ļaunumā, pievildami un pievilti.
Evil people (OR, And those) who deceive other people will (get worse/teach things that are more and more wrong). [Specifically, they will] deceive other people, and [those who hear them will] deceive others.
14 Bet tu paliec iekš tā, ko tu esi mācījies, un kas tev ir uzticēts, zinādams, no kā tu to esi mācījies,
But you, in contrast, must continue [to believe] what you have learned and (been assured of/firmly believe). [I know that you are confident/sure that it is true because] you know that you have learned it from all [of us who taught you] ([God’s truth/what is right]).
15 Un ka tu no mazām dienām svētos rakstus zini, kas tevi var darīt gudru uz debes' prieku caur to ticību, kas ir iekš Kristus Jēzus.
From [the time when you were] a child you have known the holy writings/Scriptures. [You now know that] they enabled you to become wise so that God saved you because of your believing in Christ Jesus.
16 Viss raksts no Dieva iedots ir arī derīgs pie mācīšanas, pie pārliecināšanas, pie norāšanas, pie pamācīšanas iekš taisnības,
God (inspired/put into men’s minds) everything [that is written] in the Scriptures {they [wrote] in the holy writings}, and those writings are all useful to teach [us what is true], to cause us to know [when we are] wrong and then (to correct us/to show us what we have done that is wrong), and to train/teach us to do what is right.
17 Lai tas Dieva cilvēks ir pilnīgs, uz ikvienu labu darbu pilnīgi sataisīts.
What [is written] {they wrote} is useful to help us who [serve] God to be ready/prepared to do all that we should do. By means of it, we are equipped {God gives us what we need} in order to do every [kind of] good deeds.
