1 Timoteju 1
1 Pavel, apostol Jezusa Kristusa po zapovedi Boga, našega Odrešenika in Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa, ki je naše upanje;
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ according to the commandment of God our Saviour and the Lord Jesus Christ our hope,
2 Timóteju, mojemu lastnemu sinu v veri: ›Milost, usmiljenje in mir od Boga, našega Očeta in Jezusa Kristusa, našega Gospoda.‹
to Timothy, my true child in faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God our Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 Kakor sem te rotil, ko sem odšel v Makedonijo, da še ostaneš v Efezu, da bi lahko nekaterim naročil, da ne učijo nobenega drugega nauka,
As I urged you when I was going into Macedonia, stay at Ephesus that you might command certain men not to teach a different doctrine,
4 niti ne dajo pozornosti bajkam in neskončnim rodovnikom, kar prej podpira razprave, kakor [pa] bogaboječe izgrajevanje, ki je v veri. Tako delajte.
and not to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which cause disputes rather than God’s stewardship, which is in faith.
5 Torej namen zapovedi je ljubezen iz čistega srca in iz dobre vesti ter iz nehlinjene vere,
But the goal of this command is love from a pure heart, a good conscience, and sincere faith,
6 od katere so se nekateri oddaljili in obrnili stran k praznemu blebetanju;
from which things some, having missed the mark, have turned away to vain talking,
7 želeč biti učitelji postave; [pa] niti ne razumejo kaj govorijo niti o čemer zatrjujejo.
desiring to be teachers of the law, though they understand neither what they say nor about what they strongly affirm.
8 Toda mi vemo, da je postava dobra, če jo človek uporablja zakonito;
But we know that the law is good if a person uses it lawfully,
9 vedoč to, da postava ni narejena za pravičnega človeka, temveč za nepostavnega in neposlušnega, za brezbožnega in za grešnike, za nesvete in oskrunjene, za morilce očetov in morilce mater, za ubijalce,
as knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
10 za vlačugarje, za tiste, ki sebe omadežujejo z možmi, za ugrabitelje ljudi, za lažnivce, za krivoprisežnike in če je katerakoli druga stvar, ki je nasprotna zdravemu nauku;
for the sexually immoral, for homosexuals, for slave-traders, for liars, for perjurers, and for any other thing contrary to the sound doctrine,
11 glede na slavni evangelij blagoslovljenega Boga, ki je bil zaupan mojemu varstvu.
according to the Good News of the glory of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
12 In zahvaljujem se Kristusu Jezusu, našemu Gospodu, ki me je usposobil in me postavil v službo, kajti imel me je za zvestega;
I thank him who enabled me, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he counted me faithful, appointing me to service,
13 ki sem bil prej bogokletnik in preganjalec ter škodljivec. Toda dosegel sem usmiljenje, ker sem to počel nevedno, v nejeveri.
although I used to be a blasphemer, a persecutor, and insolent. However, I obtained mercy because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.
14 Milost našega Gospoda pa je bila silno bogata z vero in ljubeznijo, ki je v Kristusu Jezusu.
The grace of our Lord abounded exceedingly with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
15 To je zvest izrek in vreden popolnega sprejetja, da je Kristus Jezus prišel na svet, da reši grešnike; od katerih sem jaz vodilni.
The saying is faithful and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.
16 Vendar sem zaradi tega razloga dosegel usmiljenje, da bi Jezus Kristus lahko vnaprej na meni pokazal vso potrpežljivost za vzor tem, ki naj bi odslej verovali vanj za večno življenje. (aiōnios g166)
However, for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first, Jesus Christ might display all his patience for an example of those who were going to believe in him for eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
17 Torej Kralju, večnemu, nesmrtnemu, nevidnemu, edinemu modremu Bogu, bodi čast in slava na veke vekov. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honour and glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
18 To naročilo sem zaupal tebi, sin Timótej, glede na prerokbe, ki so izšle poprej o tebi, da boš po njih lahko bojeval dober boj;
I commit this instruction to you, my child Timothy, according to the prophecies which were given to you before, that by them you may wage the good warfare,
19 in obdržiš vero in dobro vest; ki so jo nekateri zavrgli in glede vere storili brodolom.
holding faith and a good conscience, which some having thrust away made a shipwreck concerning the faith,
20 Od katerih sta Himénaj in Aleksander; ki sem ju izročil Satanu, da bi se lahko naučila ne preklinjati.
of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I delivered to Satan that they might be taught not to blaspheme.
