1Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus,
1Paulus, Kristuse Jeesuse apostel Jumala tahtmisel selle elu tõotust mööda, mis on Kristuses Jeesuses, -
2To Timothy, my dearly beloved son: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
2armsale pojale Timoteosele: Armu, halastust ja rahu Jumalalt Isalt ja Kristuselt Jeesuselt, meie Issandalt!
3I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with pure conscience, that without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day;
3Ma olen tänulik Jumalale, keda ma oma esivanemate viisil puhta südametunnistusega teenin, alatasa meenutades sind oma eestpalvetes ööl ja päeval,
4Greatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy;
4ning igatsedes sind näha, kui mulle tulevad meelde sinu pisarad, et ma saaksin täis rõõmu,
5When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also.
5mäletades sinu siirast usku, mis esmalt elas sinu vanaemas Loises ja sinu emas Eunikes ja nüüd - selles olen ma veendunud - elab ka sinus.
6Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.
6Sel põhjusel tuletan ma sulle meelde, et sa taas õhutaksid lõkkele Jumala ande, mis on sinus minu käte pealepanemise kaudu.
7For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
7Jumal ei ole meile ju andnud arguse vaimu, vaid väe ja armastuse ja mõistlikkuse vaimu.
8Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God;
8Ära siis häbene tunnistamast meie Issandat ega mind, tema vangi, vaid kannata koos minuga kurja evangeeliumi pärast Jumala väe abil,
9Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,
9kes on meid päästnud ja kutsunud püha kutsega, mitte meie tegude järgi, vaid omaenese kavatsuse ja armu järgi, mis meile on antud Kristuses Jeesuses enne igavesi aegu,
10But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:
10nüüd on aga saanud avalikuks meie Päästja Kristuse Jeesuse ilmumise läbi, kes on kõrvaldanud surma ning on evangeeliumi kaudu toonud valge ette elu ja kadumatuse,
11Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.
11mille kuulutajaks ja apostliks ning õpetajaks mind on seatud.
12For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.
12Sel põhjusel ma ka kannatan. Ent ma ei häbene, sest ma tean, kellesse ma olen uskuma hakanud ja olen veendunud, et tema on vägev hoidma minu hoolde usaldatut oma päevani.
13Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
13Võta terve õpetuse eeskujuks see, mida sa minult oled kuulnud usus ja armastuses, mis on Kristuses Jeesuses!
14That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us.
14Seda head, mis su hoolde on usaldatud, hoia Püha Vaimu abil, kes meis elab.
15This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia be turned away from me; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.
15Sa tead seda, et mulle on pööranud selja kõik, kes on Aasias, nende seas Fügelos ja Hermogenes.
16The Lord give mercy unto the house of Onesiphorus; for he oft refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain:
16Issand andku halastust Onesiforose kodule, sest tema on mind sagedasti kosutanud ega ole häbenenud mu ahelaid,
17But, when he was in Rome, he sought me out very diligently, and found me.
17vaid kui ta juhtus Rooma, otsis ta mind hoolega ning leidis üles.
18The Lord grant unto him that he may find mercy of the Lord in that day: and in how many things he ministered unto me at Ephesus, thou knowest very well.
18Issand andku talle leida halastust Issanda käest oma päeval! Ja kui palju ta on abistanud mind Efesoses, tead sina kõige paremini.
