1 Timoteju 4
1 Duh torej izrecno govori, da bodo v poznejših časih nekateri odšli od vere in dajali pozornost zapeljivim duhovom in hudičevim naukom;
Howbeit, the Spirit, expressly saith—that, in later seasons, some will revolt from the faith, giving heed unto seducing spirits, and unto teachings of demons—
2 v hinavščini govoreč laži; ki imajo svojo vest ožgano z vročim železom;
in hypocrisy, speaking falsehood, [of demons] cauterised in their own conscience, —
3 prepovedovali bodo poročanje in zapovedovali vzdržati se jedi, ki jih je Bog ustvaril, da bi bile sprejete z zahvaljevanjem teh, ki verujejo in poznajo resnico.
Forbidding to marry, [commanding] to abstain from foods which, God, created to be received with thanksgiving by them who believe and personally know the truth;
4 Kajti vsako Božje bitje je dobro in nič naj ne bo odklonjeno, če je to sprejeto z zahvaljevanjem,
Because, every creature of God, is good, and nothing to be cast away, if, with thanksgiving, it be received, —
5 kajti posvečeno je z Božjo besedo in molitvijo.
For it is hallowed by the word of God and intercession,
6 Če brate spominjaš na te stvari, boš dober služabnik Jezusa Kristusa, hranjen z besedami vere in zdravega nauka, ki si mu sledil.
These things, submitting to the brethren, thou shall be, a noble, minister of Christ Jesus, nourishing thyself with the words of the faith, and of the noble teaching which thou hast closely studied.
7 Toda zavrni bajke oskrunjenih in starih žensk ter se raje uri v bogaboječnosti.
But, from the profane and old-wives’ stories, excuse thyself, and be training thyself unto godliness;
8 Kajti telesno urjenje malo koristi, toda bogaboječnost je koristna za vse stvari, ki ima obljubo življenja, ki je sedaj in tega, ki pride.
For, the bodily training, for little, is profitable, whereas, godliness, for all things is profitable, —having, promise, of life—the present and the coming.
9 To je zvest izrek in vreden popolnega sprejetja.
Faithful, the saying! and, of all acceptance, worthy;
10 Kajti zato se tako trudimo, kakor prenašamo grajo, ker zaupamo v živega Boga, ki je Odrešenik vseh ljudi, zlasti teh, ki verujejo.
For, to this end, are we toiling and contending, because we have set our hope on a Living God, Who is Saviour of all men—specially, of such as believe.
11 Te stvari zapoveduj in uči.
Be giving these things in charge, and be teaching: —
12 Ne dopusti, da kdorkoli prezira tvojo mladost; temveč bodi zgled vernikom v besedi, vedênju, v ljubezni, v duhu, v veri, v čistosti.
Let, no one, despise, thy youth, but, an ensample, become thou of the faithful, —in discourse, in behaviour, in love, in faith, in chastity.
13 Dokler ne pridem, daj pozornost branju, spodbujanju [in] nauku.
While I am coming, be giving heed—to the reading, to the exhorting, to the teaching:
14 Ne zanemarjaj daru, ki je v tebi, ki ti je bil dan po prerokbi, s polaganjem rok zbora starešin.
Be not careless of the gift of favour, that is in thee, which was given thee through means of prophesying, along with a laying on of the hands of the eldership.
15 Premišljuj o teh stvareh; v celoti se jim izroči; da bo tvoj napredek lahko viden vsem.
These things, be thy care, in these things, be thou, that, thine advancement, may be, manifest, unto all:
16 Pazi nase in na nauk; nadaljuj v njih, kajti s takšnim ravnanjem boš rešil tako sebe kakor tudi tiste, ki te poslušajo.
Be giving heed to thyself, and to thy teaching, —abide still in them; for, this doing, both, thyself, shalt thou save, and them that hearken to thee.
