1 Timothy 4

1 But the Spirit says expressly that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons,

A Duh razgovijetno govori da æe u pošljednja vremena otstupiti neki od vjere slušajuæi lažne duhove i nauke ðavolske,

2 through the hypocrisy of liars, branded in their own conscience as with a hot iron;

U licemjerju laža, žigosanijeh na svojoj savjesti,

3 forbidding marriage and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.

Koji zabranjuju ženiti se, i zapovijedaju uzdržavati se od jela koja Bog stvori za jelo sa zahvalnošæu vjernima i onima koji poznaše istinu.

4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected, if it is received with thanksgiving.

Jer je svako stvorenje Božije dobro i ništa nije na odmet kad se prima sa zahvalnošæu.

5 For it is sanctified through the word of God and prayer.

Jer se osveæuje rijeèju Božijom i molitvom.

6 If you instruct the brothers of these things, you will be a good servant of Messiah Jesus, nourished in the words of the faith, and of the good doctrine which you have followed.

Ovo sve kazujuæi braæi biæeš dobar sluga Isusa Hrista, odgajen rijeèima vjere i dobrom naukom koju si primio.

7 But have nothing to do with irreverent and silly myths. And train yourself for godliness.

A poganijeh i bapskijeh gatalica kloni se; a obuèavaj se u pobožnosti.

8 For bodily exercise has some value, but godliness has value in all things, having the promise of the life which is now, and of that which is to come.

Jer tjelesno obuèavanje malo je korisno, a pobožnost je korisna za svašto, imajuæi obeæanje života sadašnjega i onoga koji ide.

9 This saying is faithful and worthy of all acceptance.

Ovo je istinita rijeè i dostojna svakoga primanja.

10 For to this end we both labor and strive, because we have set our trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all people, especially of those who believe.

Jer se zato i trudimo i bivamo sramotni, jer se uzdamo u Boga živa, koji je spasitelj svima ljudima, a osobito vjernima.

11 Command and teach these things.

Ovo zapovijedaj i uèi.

12 Let no one despise your youth; but be an example to those who believe, in word, in your way of life, in love, in faith, and in purity.

Niko da ne postane nemarljiv za tvoju mladost; nego budi ugled vjernima u rijeèi, u življenju, u ljubavi, u duhu, u vjeri, u èistoti.

13 Until I come, pay attention to reading, to exhortation, and to teaching.

Dokle doðem pazi na èitanje, utješavanje i uèenje.

14 Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the elders.

Ne pusti u nemar dar u sebi koji ti je dan po proroštvu metnuvši starješine ruke na tebe.

15 Be diligent in these things. Give yourself wholly to them, that your progress may be revealed to all.

U ovom se pouèavaj, u ovom stoj, da se napredak tvoj pokaže u svemu.

16 Pay attention to yourself, and to your teaching. Continue in these things, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you.

Pazi na sebe i na nauku, i stoj u tome; jer ovo èineæi spašæeš i samoga sebe i one koji te slušaju.
