1 Timoteju 1
1 Pavel apostelj Jezusa Kristusa, po povelji Boga rešitelja in Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa, upanja našega,
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the appointment of God our Savior, and the Lord Jesus Christ our hope,
2 Timoteju, pravemu otroku v veri: milost, usmiljenje, mir od Boga očeta našega in Kristusa Jezusa, našega Gospoda!
to Timothy, my true son in the faith; grace, mercy, peace from God our Father, and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 Kakor sem te prosil, da ostani v Efezu, potujoč v Macedonijo, da zapoveš nekim, naj ne učé drugače,
As, on going into Macedonia, I besought you to remain in Ephesus, that you might charge some that they teach no other thing,
4 In naj se ne ubijajo z basnimi in rodopisi brez konca, kateri napravljajo bolj prepire nego izpodbujevanje Božje v veri.
nor give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which produce disputes rather than godly edification, which is in faith;
5 Namen pa zapovedi je ljubezen iz srca čistega in dobre vesti in vere nehinavske;
(Now the end of the commandment is love out of a pure heart, and out of a good conscience, and out of faith unfeigned:
6 Kar so nekateri izgrešivši obrnili se v prazno besedovanje,
which things some not having aimed at, have turned aside to idle disputation,
7 Hoteč biti postavouki, dasi ne umejo, ne kaj govoré, ne kaj trdijo.
desiring to be teachers of law, though understanding neither what they say nor of what they boldly affirm.
8 Vemo pa, da je postava dobra, če jo kdo postavno rabi,
But we know that the law is good, if any one use it lawfully;
9 Vedóč to, da za pravičnega ni postavljena postava, nego za nepostavne in uporne, brezbožne in grešnike, nesvete in posvetne, očeta in matere ubijalce, ljudomorce,
knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for the unholy and for scorners, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for man-slayers,
10 Kurbirje, moželežnike, ljudokradeže, lažnike, krivoprisežnike, in kar druzega nasprotuje zdravemu uku,
for lewd persons, for sodomites, for men-stealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and for whatever other thing is opposed to sound teaching,
11 Po evangelji slave Boga blaženega, kateri se je meni izročil.
according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which has been intrusted to me.
12 In hvaležen sem njemu, ki me krepčá, Kristusu Jezusu Gospodu našemu, da me je za zvestega imel in postavil me v službo,
And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me power, because he counted me faithful, and put me into the ministry;
13 Ki sem bil prej preklinjalec in preganjalec in silovitnik; ali usmiljenje sem zadobil, ker sem neveden delal v neveri;
me, I say, who before was a reviler and a persecutor and an overbearing man. But I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief:
14 Preobila pa je bila milost Gospoda našega z vero in ljubeznijo v Kristusu Jezusu.
and the grace of our Lord was very abundant with faith, and love which is in Christ Jesus.
15 Resnična beseda in vsega sprejema vredna, da je Kristus Jezus prišel na svet, grešnike rešit, katerih prvi sem jaz.
Assuredly true and worthy of all acceptation is this saying: that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.
16 Ali za to sem usmiljenje zadobil, da bi v meni prvem Kristus pokazal vso svojo potrpežljivost za zgled njim, ki bodo verovali vanj za večno življenje. (aiōnios g166)
But for this reason I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show all long-suffering, for an example to those who might afterward believe on him in order to life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
17 Kralju pa svetov, neminljivemu, nevidnemu, samemu modremu Bogu, čast in slava na vekov veke! Amen. (aiōn g165)
Now to the King of the ages, the incorruptible, invisible, only wise God, be honor and glory from age to age. Amen.) (aiōn g165)
18 To zapoved ti naročam, Timotej otrok, po predhodnjih prerokovanjih o tebi, da biješ v njih lepi boj,
This charge I commit to you, son Timothy, in accordance with the preceding prophecies concerning you, that by them you may war the good warfare,
19 Imajoč vero in dobro vest, katero so nekateri od sebe pahnili ter ponesrečili se v veri;
holding faith and a good conscience, which some having thrust from them, as it respects faith have made shipwreck; of whom are Hymenæus and Alexander,
20 Med katerimi je Himenej in Aleksander, katera sem izročil satanu, da se učita ne preklinjati.
whom I have delivered to Satan, that they may learn not to revile.
