1 Timothy 6
1 Whoever are servants under the yoke, let them consider their masters to be worthy of every honor, lest the name and doctrine of the Lord be blasphemed.
Robovi koji su god pod jarmom da pokazuju svaku èast svojijem gospodarima, da se ne huli na ime Božije i na nauku.
2 But those who have believing masters, let them not despise them because they are brothers, but rather serve them all the more because they are believing and beloved, participants of the same service. Teach and exhort these things.
A koji imaju krštene gospodare, da ne postaju nemarljivi za njih što su braæa, nego još bolje da služe, jer su vjerni i ljubazni, zajednièari u blagodati. Ovo uèi i svjetuj.
3 If anyone teaches otherwise, and does not consent to the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to that doctrine which is in accord with piety,
Ako li ko drukèije uèi, i ne pristaje na zdrave rijeèi Gospoda našega Isusa Hrista i na nauku pobožnu,
4 then he is arrogant, knowing nothing, yet languishing amid the questions and quarrels of words. From these arise envy, contention, blasphemy, evil suspicions:
Nadu se ne znajuæi ništa, nego bolujuæi od zapitkivanja i praznijeh prepiranja, oda šta postaje zavist, svaða, huljenje, zle misli,
5 the conflicts of men who have been corrupted in mind and deprived of truth, who consider profit to be piety.
Zaludna prepiranja onakovijeh ljudi koji imaju um izopaèen i nemaju istine, koji misle da je pobožnost trgovina. Kloni se takovijeh.
6 But piety with sufficiency is great gain.
Ali jest velika trgovina pobožnost sa zadovoljstvom.
7 For we brought nothing into this world, and there is no doubt that we can take nothing away.
Jer ništa ne donesosmo na ovaj svijet, dakle ne možemo ništa ni odnijeti.
8 But, having nourishment and some kind of covering, we should be content with these.
A kad imamo hranu i odjeæu, ovijem da budemo dovoljni.
9 For those who want to become rich fall into temptation and into the snare of the devil and into many useless and harmful desires, which submerge men in destruction and in perdition.
A koji hoæe da se obogate oni upadaju u napasti i zamke, i u mnoge lude škodljive želje, koje potapaju èovjeka u propast i pogibao.
10 For desire is the root of all evils. Some persons, hungering in this way, have strayed from the faith and have entangled themselves in many sorrows.
Jer je korijen sviju zala srebroljublje kojemu neki predavši se zaðoše od vjere i na sebe navukoše muke velike.
11 But you, O man of God, flee from these things, and truly pursue justice, piety, faith, charity, patience, meekness.
A ti, o èovjeèe Božij! bjegaj od ovoga, a idi za pravdom, pobožnosti, vjerom, ljubavi, trpljenjem, krotosti.
12 Fight the good fight of faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you have been called, and make a good profession of faith in the sight of many witnesses. (aiōnios g166)
Bori se u dobroj borbi vjere, muèi se za vjeèni život na koji si i pozvan, i priznao si dobro priznanje pred mnogijem svjedocima. (aiōnios g166)
13 I charge you, in the sight of God, who enlivens all things, and in the sight of Christ Jesus, who gave the testimony of a good profession under Pontius Pilate,
Zapovijedam ti pred Bogom koji sve oživljuje, i Hristom Isusom koji svjedoèi za vladanja Pontija Pilata dobro priznanje,
14 to observe the commandment, immaculately, irreproachably, unto the return of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Da držiš zapovijest èistu i nezazornu do dolaska Gospoda našega Isusa Hrista,
15 For at the proper time, he shall reveal the blessed and only Power, the King of kings and the Lord of lords,
Koji æe u svoje vrijeme pokazati blaženi i jedini silni car nad carevima i gospodar nad gospodarima,
16 who alone holds immortality, and who inhabits the inaccessible light, whom no man has seen, nor even is able to see, to whom is honor and everlasting dominion. Amen. (aiōnios g166)
Koji sam ima besmrtnost, i živi u svjetlosti kojoj se ne može pristupiti, kojega niko od ljudi nije vidio, niti može vidjeti, kojemu èast i država vjeèna. Amin. (aiōnios g166)
17 Instruct the wealthy of this age not to have a superior attitude, nor to hope in the uncertainty of riches, but in the living God, who offers us everything in abundance to enjoy, (aiōn g165)
Bogatima na ovome svijetu zapovijedaj da se ne ponose niti uzdaju u bogatstvo propadljivo, nego u Boga živoga, koji nam sve daje izobilno za užitak; (aiōn g165)
18 and to do good, to become rich in good works, to donate readily, to share,
Neka dobro èine, neka se bogate u dobrijem djelima, neka budu podašni, zajednièni,
19 to gather for themselves the treasure of a good foundation for the future, so that they may obtain true life.
Sabirajuæi sebi temelj dobar za unapredak, da prime život vjeèni.
20 O Timothy, guard what has been deposited with you, avoiding the voice of profane novelties and of opposing ideas, which are falsely called knowledge.
O Timotije! saèuvaj što ti je predano, kloni se poganijeh praznijeh razgovora i prepiranja lažno nazvanoga razuma,
21 Certain persons, promising these things, have perished from the faith. May grace be with you. Amen.
Kojijem se neki hvaleæi otpadoše od vjere. Blagodat s tobom. Amin.
