¹Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, according to the promise of the life which is in Christ Jesus,

¹Paulus, Kristuse Jeesuse apostel Jumala tahtmisel selle elu tõotust mööda, mis on Kristuses Jeesuses, -

²to Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, 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 in a pure conscience, how unceasing is my remembrance of thee in my supplications, night and day

³Ma olen tänulik Jumalale, keda ma oma esivanemate viisil puhta südametunnistusega teenin, alatasa meenutades sind oma eestpalvetes ööl ja päeval,

⁴longing to see thee, remembering thy tears, that I may be filled with joy;

⁴ning igatsedes sind näha, kui mulle tulevad meelde sinu pisarad, et ma saaksin täis rõõmu,

⁵having been reminded of the unfeigned faith that is in thee; which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and, I am persuaded, 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.

⁶For which cause I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee through the laying 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 gave us not a spirit of fearfulness; but of power and love and discipline.

⁷Jumal ei ole meile ju andnud arguse vaimu, vaid väe ja armastuse ja mõistlikkuse vaimu.

⁸Be not ashamed therefore of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but suffer hardship with 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 saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before times eternal,

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 hath now been manifested by the appearing of our Saviour Christ Jesus, who abolished death, and 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 was appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher.

¹¹mille kuulutajaks ja apostliks ning õpetajaks mind on seatud.

¹²For which cause I suffer also these things: yet I am not ashamed; for I know him whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to guard 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 the pattern of sound words which thou hast heard from 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] guard through the Holy Spirit which dwelleth in us.

¹⁴Seda head, mis su hoolde on usaldatud, hoia Püha Vaimu abil, kes meis elab.

¹⁵This thou knowest, that all that are in Asia turned away from me; of whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.

¹⁵Sa tead seda, et mulle on pööranud selja kõik, kes on Aasias, nende seas Fügelos ja Hermogenes.

¹⁶The Lord grant 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 diligently, and found me

¹⁷vaid kui ta juhtus Rooma, otsis ta mind hoolega ning leidis üles.

¹⁸(the Lord grant unto him to find mercy of the Lord in that day); and in how many things he ministered 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.
