< Pāvila 2. Vēstule Timotejam 1 >
1 Pāvils, caur Dieva prātu Jēzus Kristus apustulis, aicināts sludināt to dzīvību iekš Kristus Jēzus,
[I], Paul, [am writing this letter. I am] an apostle whom Christ Jesus chose so that I would do what God wanted. He chose me [to tell people that God] has promised [that they will] live [eternally] as a result of their having a close relationship with Christ Jesus.
2 Timotejam, tam mīļam dēlam: žēlastība, apžēlošana, miers no Dieva, Tā Tēva, un no Kristus Jēzus, mūsu Kunga.
[I am writing to you], Timothy, whom I love [as if you were] my own son. [I pray that] God our Father and Christ Jesus our Lord will [continue to act] kindly to you, be merciful to you, and [cause you to have] inner peace,
3 Es pateicos Dievam, kam kalpoju no tēvu tēviem ar skaidru zināmu sirdi, tā kā es bez mitēšanās tevi savās lūgšanās pieminu naktīm dienām,
I thank God [for all that he has done for you]. I serve him, and my ancestors [served him, too. I serve him] in a manner that I know to be right. [I thank him] while repeatedly I [pray for you] at night and during the day.
4 Ilgodamies tevi redzēt, pieminēdams tavas asaras, lai es topu piepildīts ar prieku,
[While I am thanking God for you], I very much want to see you because I remember how you cried [MTY] [when we separated. I want to see you] in order that I may be (filled with joy/very happy).
5 Kad pieminu tavu bezviltīgo ticību, kas jau papriekš ir mājojusi iekš tavas mātes mātes Loidas un iekš tavas mātes Eunikas, un es stipri ceru, ka arī iekš tevis.
[I thank God because] I remember that you sincerely believe [in Christ Jesus]. First, your grandmother, Lois, and your mother, Eunice, [believed in him and], I am (convinced/very sure) that you also believe in him.
6 Tāpēc es tev atgādināju, atkal pamodināt to Dieva žēlastības dāvanu, kas ir iekš tevis caur manu roku uzlikšanu.
Because [I am sure that you believe in him], I remind you to do fervently/wholeheartedly [MET] what God has (assigned for/appointed) you to do and what he has enabled you to do. [God] ([assigned for/appointed]) you to do it as a result of my putting my hands [on you to show/indicate that he had chosen you to do his work].
7 Jo Dievs mums nav devis bailības garu, bet spēka un mīlestības un savaldības garu.
Remember that God has put [his Spirit] within us. [His Spirit does not cause us to be] afraid. Instead, [he causes us to be] powerful [to work for God], and he helps us to love [others] and [to] control what we say and do.
8 Tad nu nekaunies par mūsu Kunga liecību, nedz par mani, Viņa saistīto; bet ciet līdz to grūtumu par evaņģēliju pēc Dieva spēka,
So never be ashamed/reluctant to tell others the message about our Lord. And do not [be ashamed] of me, [even though I am] a prisoner [because I preach about] him. Instead, [be willing to] suffer as I do as you proclaim the message about Christ. [Endure what you will suffer] by letting God empower [you to endure it].
9 Kas mūs izglābis un aicinājis ar svētu aicināšanu ne pēc mūsu darbiem, bet pēc Savas īpašas apņemšanās un žēlastības, kas mums dota iekš Kristus Jēzus no mūžīgiem laikiem, (aiōnios )
[God] saved us and chose us to conduct our lives in a pure way. It was not our doing good deeds/actions [that caused him to do this for us—something] that we did not deserve. Instead, before (time began/he created the world) he purposed/planned to [be kind to us] as a result of what Christ Jesus [would do for us]. (aiōnios )
10 Un tagad ir parādīta caur mūsu Pestītāja Jēzus Kristus atspīdēšanu, kas nāvi izdeldējis un dzīvību un neiznīcību gaismā vedis caur evaņģēliju,
Now, as a result of our Savior Christ Jesus having come, it has been revealed {he has shown} [that he acts kindly toward us. Specifically, Christ Jesus] has declared that we [will not remain dead after we] die! He has also revealed that, as a result of [our hearing and accepting] the message [about Christ, we] will live [forever in bodies that will] not decay!
11 Uz ko es esmu iecelts par sludinātāju un apustuli un mācītāju pagāniem.
I was chosen {Christ chose me} to go as an apostle to many places and proclaim that message to people.
12 Tādēļ es arī to ciešu, bet es nekaunos; jo es zinu, kam esmu ticējis, un stipri ceru, ka Viņš ir spēcīgs, to man novēlēto mantu pasargāt līdz viņai dienai.
So, even though I suffer [here in this prison], I am not ashamed [of being here] (OR, I am very confident), because I know [Christ Jesus], the one whom I have trusted, and I am convinced/sure that he is able to keep safe the good message that he has entrusted to me (OR, the things that I have entrusted [to him]), and that he will reward me at the time [MTY] [when he comes again].
13 Paturi tās veselīgās mācības priekšzīmi, ko tu esi dzirdējis no manis, iekš ticības un mīlestības, kas ir iekš Kristus Jēzus.
Be sure that you tell others the same correct message that you heard from me. [And as you tell it], keep trusting [in Christ Jesus] and keep loving [others] as Christ Jesus [enables you to do].
14 Šo labo mantu glabā caur To Svēto Garu, kas iekš mums mājo.
Do not let anyone persuade you to change the [good message that] God has entrusted/given to you. Allow the Holy Spirit who lives in us to [direct what you say].
15 To tu zini, ka visi, kas ir iekš Āzijas, no manis ir nogriezušies; starp tiem ir Fiģels un Hermoģens.
You know that [almost] all [the believers] in Asia [province] have (turned away from/abandoned) me, including Phygelus and Hermogenes.
16 Lai Tas Kungs dod žēlastību Onesifora namam; jo tas mani daudzkārtīgi atspirdzinājis un nav kaunējies par manām ķēdēm;
[But I pray that] the Lord will be kind to the family of Onesiphorus for the following reasons: Often he cheered me up and, [even though] I was a prisoner [MTY], he was not ashamed (of me/[to admit he was] my [friend]).
17 Bet Romā nācis tas mani rūpīgi ir meklējis un atradis.
On the contrary, when he came here to Rome, he diligently searched for me until he found me.
18 Lai Tas Kungs tam dod, žēlastību atrast pie Tā Kunga viņā dienā; un cik tas man Efesū kalpojis, to tu jo labi zini.
[I pray that] the Lord will be kind to him on that day [MTY] [when he, the Lord, will judge people]. And how much Onesiphorus served [me] in Ephesus [city], you know very well.
