II Timothy 4

Zaklinjem te pred Bogom i Kristom Isusom, koji će suditi žive i mrtve, zaklinjem te pojavkom njegovim i kraljevstvom njegovim:

I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;

propovijedaj Riječ, uporan budi - bilo to zgodno ili nezgodno - uvjeravaj, prijeti, zapovijedaj sa svom strpljivošću i poukom.

Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.

Jer doći će vrijeme kad ljudi neće podnositi zdrava nauka nego će sebi po vlastitim požudama nagomilavati učitelje kako im godi ušima;

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

od istine će uho odvraćati, a bajkama se priklanjati.

And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

Ti, naprotiv, budi trijezan u svemu, zlopati se, djelo izvrši blagovjesničko, služenje svoje posve ispuni!

But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.

Jer ja se već prinosim za žrtvu ljevanicu, prispjelo je vrijeme moga odlaska.

For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.

Dobar sam boj bio, trku završio, vjeru sačuvao.

I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:

Stoga, pripravljen mi je vijenac pravednosti kojim će mi u onaj Dan uzvratiti Gospodin, pravedan sudac; ne samo meni, nego i svima koji s ljubavlju čekaju njegov pojavak.

Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.

Nastoj što prije doći k meni!

Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me:

Jer Dema me, zaljubljen u sadašnji svijet, napustio i otišao u Solun; Krescencije u Galaciju, Tit u Dalmaciju.

For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia.

Luka je jedini sa mnom. Marka uzmi i dovedi sa sobom jer mi je koristan za služenje.

Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry.

Tihika sam poslao u Efez.

And Tychicus have I sent to Ephesus.

Kabanicu koju ostavih u Troadi kod Karpa, kada dođeš, donesi. I knjige, osobito pergamene.

The cloke that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest, bring with thee, and the books, but especially the parchments.

Aleksandar kovač nanio mi je mnogo zla. Uzvratio mu Gospodin po njegovim djelima!

Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord reward him according to his works:

Njega se i ti čuvaj jer se veoma usprotivio našim riječima.

Of whom be thou ware also; for he hath greatly withstood our words.

Za prve moje obrane nitko ne bijaše uza me, svi me napustiše. Ne uračunalo im se!

At my first answer no man stood with me, but all men forsook me: I pray God that it may not be laid to their charge.

Ali Gospodin je stajao uza me, on me krijepio da se po meni potpuno razglasi Poruka te je čuju svi narodi; i izbavljen sam iz usta lavljih.

Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.

Izbavit će me Gospodin od svakoga zla djela i spasiti za svoje nebesko kraljevstvo. Njemu slava u vijeke vjekova! Amen!

And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Pozdravi Prisku i Akvilu i Oneziforov dom!

Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus.

Erast osta u Korintu, a Trofima ostavih u Miletu bolesna.

Erastus abode at Corinth: but Trophimus have I left at Miletum sick.

Nastoj doći prije zime. Pozdravlja te Eubul, Pudencije, Lino, Klaudija i sva braća.

Do thy diligence to come before winter. Eubulus greeteth thee, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren.

Gospodin s duhom tvojim. Milost s vama!

The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit. Grace be with you. Amen. The second epistle unto Timotheus, ordained the first bishop of the church of the Ephesians, was written from Rome, when Paul was brought before Nero the second time.
