1 Timoteju 4
1 Duh pa izrečno govori, da bodejo v poslednjih časih nekateri odpadli od vere, držeč se lažnjivih klatiduhov in naukov hudičevih,
NOW the Spirit speaketh expresly, that in the latter days some will apostatise from the faith, giving heed to spirits of delusion, and doctrines of devils;
2 V licemérstvu lažigovórnikov, zaznamovanih v lastni vesti,
men who teach lies with hypocrisy; and have their own consciences cauterised;
3 Ki branijo ženiti se in možiti, in zapovedujejo zdrževati se jedil, katera je Bog vstvaril za uživanje sè zahvaljevanjem vernim in njim, ki so spoznali resnico.
prohibiting marriage, and enjoining abstinence from particular meats, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by the faithful, and those who acknowledge the truth.
4 Kajti vsaka stvar Božja je dobra in nič ni da bi se zamotalo, ako se prejemlje sè zahvaljevanjem;
For every creature of God is good, and none to be rejected, if used with thanksgiving:
5 Kajti posvečuje se po besedi Božji in molitvi.
for it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
6 To naročajoč bratom, bodeš dober pomočnik Jezusa Kristusa, vzrejen v besedah vere, in dobrega nauka, po katerem hodiš.
If thou suggest these truths to the brethren, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and sound doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.
7 Posvetne pa in starobabje basni zavračaj; vadi se pa v pobožnosti.
But profane and antiquated fables reject, but exercise thyself unto godliness.
8 Kajti telesna vaja je za malo koristna; pobožnost pa je za vse koristna, ker ima obljubo življenja sedanjega in prihodnjega.
For bodily exercise is of little advantage, but godliness is profitable for all things, having the promise of the life which now is, and of that which is to come.
9 Resnična beseda in vsega sprejema vredna;
This is a faithful saying, and deserving all acceptance.
10 Kajti za to se tudi trudimo in sramotimo, ker smo upanje svoje postavili v Boga živega, kateri je rešitelj vseh ljudî, sosebno vérnih.
For therefore do we labour and are exposed to abuse, because we have hoped in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, especially of the faithful.
11 Zapovedúj to in úči!
Announce and teach these things.
12 Nihče naj ne zaničuje mladosti tvoje, nego zgled bodi vérnim v besedi, v vedenji, v ljubezni, v duhu, v veri, v čistosti.
Let no man despise thy youth; but be a pattern of the faithful, in discourse; in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity.
13 Dokler pridem, skrbi za branje, opominjanje, podučevanje.
Till I come, apply to reading, to exhortation, to teaching.
14 Ne zanemarjaj darú v sebi, kateri ti je bil dan po preroštvu s pokladanjem rok starejšinstva.
Neglect not the gift which is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with imposition of the hands of the presbytery.
15 To premišljaj, v tem bivaj, da bode napredek tvoj očiten v vsem.
Let these things be thy care; be wholly devoted to them; that thy progress may be evident to all men.
16 Pazi nase in na úk; stanoviten bodi v tem; kajti to delajoč rešil bodeš sebe in njé, ki te poslušajo.
Take heed unto thyself, and to thy doctrine; abide in them: for so doing thou shalt both save thyself, and those who hear thee.
