2 Timothy, 1

1. Paul, an Apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, in accord with the promise of the life which is in Christ Jesus,

1. Pavao, apostol Krista Isusa voljom Božjom, po obeæanju života, života u Kristu Isusu,

2. to Timothy, most beloved son. Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and from Christ Jesus our Lord.

2. Timoteju, ljubljenom sinu: milost, milosrðe i mir od Boga Oca i Krista Isusa, Gospodina našega.

3. I give thanks to God, whom I serve, as my forefathers did, with a pure conscience. For without ceasing I hold the remembrance of you in my prayers, night and day,

3. Zahvalan sam Bogu, kojemu onamo od predaka èiste savjesti služim, dok te se neprestano spominjem u svojim molitvama noæ i dan.

4. desiring to see you, recalling your tears so as to be filled with joy,

4. Sjetim se tvojih suza i zaželim vidjeti te da se napunim radosti

5. calling to mind the same faith, which is in you unfeigned, which also first dwelt in your grandmother, Lois, and in your mother, Eunice, and also, I am certain, in you.

5. imajuæi na pameti neprijetvornu vjeru koja je u tebi - onu vjeru koja je najprije prebivala u tvojoj baki Loidi i tvojoj majci Euniki, a uvjeren sam, i u tebi.

6. Because of this, I admonish you to revive the grace of God, which is in you by the imposition of my hands.

6. Poradi toga podsjeæam te: raspiruj milosni dar Božji koji je u tebi po polaganju mojih ruku.

7. For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of virtue, and of love, and of self-restraint.

7. Jer nije nam Bog dao duha bojažljivosti, nego snage, ljubavi i razbora.

8. And so, do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me, his prisoner. Instead, collaborate with the Gospel in accord with the virtue of God,

8. Ne stidi se stoga svjedoèanstva za Gospodina našega, ni mene, sužnja njegova. Nego zlopati se zajedno sa mnom za evanðelje, po snazi Boga

9. who has freed us and has called us to his holy vocation, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus, before the ages of time.

9. koji nas je spasio i pozvao pozivom svetim - ne po našim djelima, nego po svojem naumu i milosti koja nam je dana u Kristu Isusu prije vremena vjekovjeènih,

10. And this has now been made manifest by the illumination of our Savior Jesus Christ, who certainly has destroyed death, and who has also illuminated life and incorruption through the Gospel.

10. a oèitovana je sada pojavkom Spasitelja našega Krista Isusa, koji obeskrijepi smrt i uèini da zasja život i neraspadljivost - po evanðelju

11. Of this Gospel, I have been appointed a preacher, and an Apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.

11. za koje sam ja postavljen propovjednikom, apostolom i uèiteljem.

12. For this reason, I also suffer these things. But I am not confounded. For I know in whom I have believed, and I am certain that he has the power to preserve what was entrusted to me, unto that day.

12. Poradi toga i ovo trpim, ali se ne stidim jer znam komu sam povjerovao i uvjeren sam da je on moæan poklad moj saèuvati za onaj Dan.

13. Hold to the kind of sound words that you have heard from me in the faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

13. Uzorom neka ti budu zdrave rijeèi koje si od mene èuo u vjeri i ljubavi u Kristu Isusu.

14. Guard the good entrusted to you through the Holy Spirit, who lives within us.

14. Lijepi poklad èuvaj po Duhu Svetom koji prebiva u nama.

15. Know this: that all those who are in Asia have turned away from me, among whom are Phigellus and Hermogenes.

15. Napustiše me, to znaš, svi u Aziji, meðu njima i Figel i Hermogen.

16. May the Lord have mercy on the house of Onesiphorus, because he has often refreshed me, and he has not been ashamed of my chains.

16. Neka Gospodin milosrðem podari Oneziforov dom jer me èesto osvježivao i nije se stidio mojih okova,

17. Instead, when he had arrived in Rome, he anxiously sought me and found me.

17. nego kad je bio u Rimu, brižljivo me potražio i našao.

18. May the Lord grant to him to obtain mercy from the Lord in that day. And you know well in how many ways he has ministered to me at Ephesus.

18. Dao mu Gospodin naæi milosrðe u Gospodina u onaj Dan! A koliko je usluga u Efezu iskazao, to ti najbolje znaš.
