1 Timoteju 6
1 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.
Let, as many as are servants under a yoke, be counting, their own masters, worthy, of all honour, lest, the name of God and the teaching, be defamed.
2 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.
They, however, that have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are, brethren but, the more, be doing them service, because, believing and beloved, are they who, from the good workmanship, receive advantage. These things, be teaching, and exhorting: —
3 Če katerikoli človek uči drugače in ne pritrjuje zdravim besedam, celó besedam našega Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa in nauku, ki je glede na bogaboječnost;
If anyone doth otherwise teach, and doth not adhere to healthful discourses—those of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the teaching that is, according to godliness,
4 je ponosen in ničesar ne ve, marveč boleha glede vprašanj in besednih prepirov, od česar prihajajo zavist, prepir, posmehovanja, hudobna domnevanja,
He is beclouded, knowing, nothing, rightly, but is diseased about questionings, and word-battles—out of which spring envy, strife, defamations, wicked surmising,
5 sprevržena razpravljanja ljudi izprijenih misli in oropanih resnice, ki mislijo, da je bogaboječnost [vir] dobička. Od takšnih se umaknite.
incessant quarrellings of men wholly corrupt in their mind and bereft of the truth, —supposing godliness to be, a means of gain!
6 Toda bogaboječnost je, skupaj z zadovoljstvom, velik dobiček.
Now it is a great means of gain—godliness, with a sufficiency of one’s own;
7 Kajti ničesar nismo prinesli na ta svet in nedvomno je, [da] ničesar ne moremo odnesti.
For, nothing, brought we into the world, neither, to take anything out, are we able; —
8 In bodimo zadovoljni s tem, da imamo hrano in obleko.
And, having sustenance and covering, we shall be content;
9 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.
But, they who are determined to be rich, fall into temptation, and a snare, and many foolish and hurtful covetings, the which, sink men into ruin and destruction, —
10 Kajti ljubezen do denarja je korenina vsega zla; za katerim so nekateri zahlepeli, zašli od vere in se prebodli z mnogimi bridkostmi.
For, a root of all the vices, is the love of money, which, some, being eager for, have been seduced from the faith, and have pierced, themselves, about with many pangs.
11 Toda ti, oh Božji mož, beži od teh stvari in si prizadevaj za pravičnost, bogaboječnost, vero, ljubezen, potrpežljivost in krotkost.
But, thou, O man of God! from these things, flee! and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance, meekness;
12 Bojuj dober boj vere, oprimi se večnega življenja, kamor si tudi poklican in si pred mnogimi pričami izpovedal dobro izpoved. (aiōnios g166)
Be contesting the noble contest of the faith, —lay hold of the age-abiding life—unto which thou wast called, and didst make the noble confession before many witnesses. (aiōnios g166)
13 Dajem ti naročilo v očeh Boga, ki oživlja vse stvari in pred Kristusom Jezusom, ki je pred Poncijem Pilatom pričeval dobro priznanje;
I charge thee, before God, who engendereth life in all things, and Christ Jesus, who, before Pontius Pilate, witnessed the noble confession,
14 da ohraniš to zapoved brez madeža, brezgrajno do pojavitve našega Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa,
That thou keep the commandment without spot, free from reproach, until the forthshining of our Lord Jesus Christ—
15 ki jo bo ob svojih časih pokazal, ki je blagoslovljen in edini Vladar, Kralj kraljev in Gospod gospodov;
Which, in its own fit times, the happy and only Potentate will shew—the King of them that reign, and Lord of them that wield lordship,
16 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)
Who alone hath immortality, dwelling in light unapproachable, —Whom no man hath seen—nor can see: unto whom, be honour and might age-abiding. Amen. (aiōnios g166)
17 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)
Upon them who are rich in the present age, lay thou charge—not to be high-minded, nor to have set their hope on, riches’, uncertainty, —but on God, who offereth us all things richly for enjoying, (aiōn g165)
18 da delajo dobro, da bodo bogati v dobrih delih, pripravljeni za razdeljevanje, voljni za posredovanje;
To be doing good, to be rich in noble works, to be, generous in giving, ready for fellowship, —
19 in si v shrambi privarčevali dober temelj za čas, ki pride, da se bodo lahko oprijeli večnega življenja.
Treasuring up for themselves a good foundation for the future, that they may lay hold on the life [which is life] indeed.
20 Oh Timótej, varuj to, kar je zaupano tvojemu varstvu, izogibajoč se oskrunjenih in praznih blebetanj ter tako imenovanih lažnih znanstvenih oporekanj,
O Timothy! that which hath been entrusted, do thou guard, avoiding the profane pratings and oppositions of falsely named knowledge, —
21 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.]
Which, some professing, concerning the faith, have missed the mark! Favour be with you.
