< 2 Timoteju 1 >

1 Pavel, po Božji volji apostol Jezusa Kristusa, glede na obljubo življenja, ki je v Kristusu Jezusu,
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, according to the promise of the life which is in Christ Jesus,
2 Timóteju, mojemu srčno ljubljenemu sinu: ›Milost, usmiljenje in mir od Boga Očeta in Kristusa Jezusa, našega Gospoda.‹
to Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 Zahvaljujem se Bogu, ki mu služim s čisto vestjo od svojih pradedov, da se te brez prenehanja, noč in dan, spominjam v svojih molitvah
I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers in a pure conscience, how unceasing is my remembrance of thee in my supplications, night and day
4 in silno si želim, da te vidim, zavedajoč se tvojih solz, da bom lahko izpolnjen z radostjo;
longing to see thee, remembering thy tears, that I may be filled with joy;
5 ko se spominjam nehlinjene vere, ki je v tebi, ki je najprej prebivala v tvoji stari materi Loídi in tvoji materi Evníki; in prepričan sem, da tudi v tebi.
having been reminded of the unfeigned faith that is in thee; which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and, I am persuaded, in thee also.
6 Zatorej te spominjam, da razvnameš Božji dar, ki je v tebi po polaganju mojih rok.
For which cause I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee through the laying on of my hands.
7 Kajti Bog nam ni dal duha strahu, temveč moči, ljubezni in zdravega razuma.
For God gave us not a spirit of fearfulness; but of power and love and discipline.
8 Ti se torej ne sramuj pričevanja o našem Gospodu niti o meni, njegovem jetniku, temveč bodi soudeleženec trpljenj evangelija glede na Božjo moč;
Be not ashamed therefore of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but suffer hardship with the gospel according to the power of God;
9 ki nas je rešil in nas poklical s sveto poklicanostjo, ne glede na naša dela, temveč glede na svoj lastni namen in milost, ki nam je bila dana v Kristusu Jezusu pred začetkom sveta, (aiōnios g166)
who saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before times eternal, (aiōnios g166)
10 toda sedaj je prikazana s pojavitvijo našega Odrešenika Jezusa Kristusa, ki je odpravil smrt in po evangeliju prinesel življenje in nesmrtnost na svetlobo.
but hath now been manifested by the appearing of our Saviour Christ Jesus, who abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel,
11 Kateremu sem bil jaz določen za pridigarja in apostola in učitelja poganov.
whereunto I was appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher.
12 Zaradi tega razloga tudi trpim te stvari. Pa vendar nisem osramočen, ker vem, komu sem veroval in prepričan sem, da je on zmožen obdržati to, kar sem mu izročil, za tisti dan.
For which cause I suffer also these things: yet I am not ashamed; for I know him whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to guard that which I have committed unto him against that day.
13 Trdno drži vzorec zdravih besed, ki si jih slišal od mene, v veri in ljubezni, ki je v Kristusu Jezusu.
Hold the pattern of sound words which thou hast heard from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
14 To dobro stvar, ki ti je bila zaupana, varuj s Svetim Duhom, ki prebiva v nas.
That good thing which was committed unto [thee] guard through the Holy Spirit which dwelleth in us.
15 To veš, da so se vsi, ki so v Aziji, obrnili proč od mene; izmed katerih sta Figel in Hermógen.
This thou knowest, that all that are in Asia turned away from me; of whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.
16 Gospod naj da usmiljenje Onezíforjevi hiši, kajti pogosto me je poživil in ni bil osramočen zaradi mojih verig.
The Lord grant mercy unto the house of Onesiphorus: for he oft refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain;
17 Toda ko je bil v Rimu, me je zelo marljivo iskal in me našel.
but, when he was in Rome, he sought me diligently, and found me
18 Gospod naj mu zagotovi, da bo na tisti dan lahko našel usmiljenje od Gospoda. In ti zelo dobro veš, v kako mnogih stvareh mi je služil v Efezu.
(the Lord grant unto him to find mercy of the Lord in that day); and in how many things he ministered at Ephesus, thou knowest very well.
