1 Corinthians 7
1 Now concerning the things about which you wrote to me: it is good for a man not to touch a woman.
A za ono što mi pisaste: dobro je èovjeku da se ne dohvata do žene:
2 But, because of sexual immoralities, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.
Ali zbog kurvarstva svaki da ima svoju ženu, i svaka žena da ima svojega muža;
3 Let the husband give his wife the affection owed her, and likewise also the wife her husband.
Muž da èini ženi dužnu ljubav, tako i žena mužu.
4 The wife doesn’t have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise also the husband doesn’t have authority over his own body, but the wife does.
Žena nije gospodar od svojega tijela, nego muž; tako i muž nije gospodar od svojega tijela, nego žena.
5 Don’t deprive one another, unless it is by consent for a season, that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer, and may be together again, that Satan doesn’t tempt you because of your lack of self-control.
Ne zabranjujte se jedno od drugoga, veæ ako u dogovoru za vrijeme, da se postite i molite Bogu; i opet da se sastanete, da vas sotona ne iskuša vašijem neuzdržanjem.
6 But this I say by way of concession, not of commandment.
Ali ovo govorim po svjetu a ne po zapovijesti;
7 Yet I wish that all men were like me. However, each man has his own gift from God, one of this kind, and another of that kind.
Jer hoæu da svi ljudi budu kao i ja; ali svaki ima svoj dar od Boga: ovaj dakle ovako a onaj onako.
8 But I say to the unmarried and to widows, it is good for them if they remain even as I am.
A neoženjenijem i udovicama velim: dobro im je ako ostanu kao i ja što sam.
9 But if they don’t have self-control, let them marry. For it’s better to marry than to burn with passion.
Ako li se ne uzdrže, neka se žene i udaju; jer je bolje ženiti se negoli upaljivati se.
10 But to the married I command—not I, but the Lord—that the wife not leave her husband
A oženjenijem zapovijedam, ne ja nego Gospod, da se žena od muža ne razdvaja
11 (but if she departs, let her remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband not leave his wife.
Ako li se pak i razdvoji, da se više ne udaje, ili da se pomiri sa svojijem mužem i muž da ne pušæa žene.
12 But to the rest I—not the Lord—say, if any brother has an unbelieving wife, and she is content to live with him, let him not leave her.
A ostalima govorim ja a ne Gospod: ako koji brat ima ženu nekrštenu i ona se privoli življeti s njim, da je ne ostavlja.
13 The woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he is content to live with her, let her not leave her husband.
I žena ako ima muža nekrštena i on se privoli življeti s njom, da ga ne ostavlja.
14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified in the husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are holy.
Jer se posveti muž nekršten ženom krštenom, i posveti se žena nekrštena od muža krštenoga; jer inaèe djeca vaša bila bi neèista, a sad su sveta.
15 Yet if the unbeliever departs, let there be separation. The brother or the sister is not under bondage in such cases, but God has called us in peace.
Ako li se nekršteni razdvaja, neka se razdvoji; jer se brat ili sestra u takovom dogaðaju ne zarobi; jer nas na mir dozva Gospod Bog.
16 For how do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?
Jer šta znaš, ženo, da ako muža spaseš? ili šta znaš, mužu, da ako ženu spaseš?
17 Only, as the Lord has distributed to each man, as God has called each, so let him walk. So I command in all the assemblies.
Samo kao što je Bog razdijelio svakome, i kao što je svakoga pozvao Gospod onako neka živi. I tako zapovijedam po svijem crkvama.
18 Was anyone called having been circumcised? Let him not become uncircumcised. Has anyone been called in uncircumcision? Let him not be circumcised.
Je li ko pozvat obrezan, neka se ne gradi neobrezan; ako li je ko pozvat neobrezan, neka se ne obrezuje.
19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but what matters is keeping God’s commandments.
Obrezanje je ništa, i neobrezanje je ništa; nego držanje zapovijesti Božijeh.
20 Let each man stay in that calling in which he was called.
Svaki neka ostane u onome zvanju u kome je pozvan.
21 Were you called being a bondservant? Don’t let that bother you, but if you get an opportunity to become free, use it.
Jesi li pozvan rob, ne brini se; nego ako i možeš svoj biti, još radije budi.
22 For he who was called in the Lord being a bondservant is the Lord’s free man. Likewise he who was called being free is Christ’s bondservant.
Jer koji je pozvan u Gospodu rob, slobodnjak je Gospodnji, tako i koji je pozvan slobodnjak, rob je Hristov.
23 You were bought with a price. Don’t become bondservants of men.
Kupljeni ste skupo, ne budite robovi ljudima.
24 Brothers, let each man, in whatever condition he was called, stay in that condition with God.
Svaki, braæo, u èemu je ko pozvan u onome neka ostane pred Gospodom.
25 Now concerning virgins, I have no commandment from the Lord, but I give my judgment as one who has obtained mercy from the Lord to be trustworthy.
A za djevojke nemam zapovijesti Gospodnje, nego dajem svjet, kao koji sam pomilovan od Gospoda, da budem vjeran.
26 Therefore I think that because of the distress that is on us, it’s good for a man to remain as he is.
Mislim dakle ovo da æe biti dobro za sadašnju nevolju da je èovjeku dobro tako biti.
27 Are you bound to a wife? Don’t seek to be freed. Are you free from a wife? Don’t seek a wife.
Jesi li se privezao za ženu, ne traži da se razdriješiš; jesi li se odriješio od žene, ne traži žene.
28 But if you marry, you have not sinned. If a virgin marries, she has not sinned. Yet such will have oppression in the flesh, and I want to spare you.
A ako li se i oženiš, nijesi sagriješio; i djevojka ako se uda, nije sagriješila: ali æe imati takovi nevolje tjelesne; a ja vas žalim.
29 But I say this, brothers: the time is short. From now on, both those who have wives may be as though they had none;
A ovo govorim, braæo, jer je ostalo vrijeme prekraæeno, da æe i oni koji imaju žene biti kao oni koji nemaju;
30 and those who weep, as though they didn’t weep; and those who rejoice, as though they didn’t rejoice; and those who buy, as though they didn’t possess;
I koji plaèu kao koji ne plaèu; i koji se raduju kao koji se ne raduju; i koji kupuju kao koji nemaju;
31 and those who use the world, as not using it to the fullest. For the mode of this world passes away.
I koji ovaj svijet upotrebljavaju kao da ga ne upotrebljavaju: jer prolazi oblièje ovoga svijeta.
32 But I desire to have you to be free from cares. He who is unmarried is concerned for the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord;
A ja hoæu da ste vi bezbrižni. Ko je neoženjen brine se za Gospodnje, kako æe ugoditi Gospodu;
33 but he who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how he may please his wife.
A koji je oženjen brine se za svjetsko, kako æe ugoditi ženi. Drugo je žena, a drugo je djevojka.
34 There is also a difference between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman cares about the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But she who is married cares about the things of the world—how she may please her husband.
Koja je neudata brine se za Gospodnje, kako æe ugoditi Gospodu, da bude sveta i tijelom i duhom; a koja je udata brine se za svjetsko, kako æe ugoditi mužu.
35 This I say for your own benefit, not that I may ensnare you, but for that which is appropriate, and that you may attend to the Lord without distraction.
A ovo govorim na korist vama samijem, ne da vam nametnem zamku na vrat, nego za lijepu i pristojnu službu Gospodu bez smetnje.
36 But if any man thinks that he is behaving inappropriately toward his virgin, if she is past the flower of her age, and if need so requires, let him do what he desires. He doesn’t sin. Let them marry.
Ako li pak ko misli da je sramota za njegovu djevojku kad ostane usidjelica, i ne može drukèije biti, neka èini šta hoæe, ne griješi ako se uda.
37 But he who stands steadfast in his heart, having no urgency, but has power over his own will, and has determined in his own heart to keep his own virgin, does well.
A koji stoji tvrdo u srcu, i nema nevolje, a ima vlast nad svojom voljom, i ovo je rasudio u srcu svojemu da zadrži djevojku, dobro èini.
38 So then both he who gives his own virgin in marriage does well, and he who doesn’t give her in marriage does better.
Tako i onaj koji udaje svoju djevojku dobro èini; ali koji ne udaje bolje èini.
39 A wife is bound by law for as long as her husband lives; but if the husband is dead, she is free to be married to whomever she desires, only in the Lord.
Žena je privezana zakonom dokle joj god živi muž; a ako joj umre muž, slobodna je za koga hoæe da se uda, samo u Gospodu.
40 But she is happier if she stays as she is, in my judgment, and I think that I also have God’s Spirit.
Ali je blaženija ako ostane tako po mojemu svjetu; jer mislim da i ja imam Duha Božijega.
