1 Timothy 6
1 Let as many as are slaves under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honor, that the name of God and the doctrine not be blasphemed.
Koji su pod jarmom, robovi, neka svoje gospodare smatraju svake časti dostojnima da se ne bi pogrđivalo ime Božje i nauk.
2 Those who have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brothers, but rather let them serve them, because those who partake of the benefit are believing and beloved. Teach and exhort these things.
A oni kojima su gospodari vjernici, neka ih ne cijene manje zato što su braća, nego neka im još više služe jer ti koji primaju njihovo dobročinstvo vjernici su i ljubljena braća. To naučavaj i preporučuj!
3 If anyone teaches a different doctrine, and does not consent to sound words, the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness,
A tko drukčije naučava i ne prianja uza zdrave riječi, riječi Gospodina našega Isusa Krista, i nauk u skladu s pobožnošću,
4 he is conceited, knowing nothing, but obsessed with arguments, disputes, and word battles, from which come envy, strife, reviling, evil suspicions,
nadut je, puka neznalica, samo boluje od raspra i rječoborstava, od kojih nastaje zavist, svađa, pogrde, zla sumnjičenja,
5 constant friction of people of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain.
razračunavanja ljudi pokvarene pameti i lišenih istine, što pobožnost smatraju dobitkom.
6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.
Pa i jest dobitak velik pobožnost, zadovoljna onim što ima!
7 For we brought nothing into the world, so neither can we carry anything out.
Ta ništa nismo donijeli na svijet te iz njega ništa ni iznijeti ne možemo!
8 But having food and clothing, we will be content with that.
Imamo li dakle hranu i odjeću, zadovoljimo se time.
9 But those who are determined to be rich fall into a temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful lusts, such as plunge people into ruin and destruction.
Jer oni koji se hoće bogatiti, upadaju u napast, zamku i mnoge nerazumne i štetne požude što ljude strovaljuju u zator i propast.
10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some have been led astray from the faith in their greed, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
Zaista, korijen svih zala jest srebroljublje; njemu odani, mnogi odlutaše od vjere i sami sebe isprobadaše mukama mnogima.
11 But you, man of God, flee these things, and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, and gentleness.
A ti se, Božji čovječe, toga kloni! Teži za pravednošću, pobožnošću, vjerom, ljubavlju, postojanošću, krotkošću!
12 Fight the good fight of faith. Lay hold of the everlasting life to which you were called, and you confessed the good confession in the sight of many witnesses. (aiōnios g166)
Bij dobar boj vjere, osvoji vječni život na koji si pozvan i radi kojega si dao ono lijepo svjedočanstvo pred mnogim svjedocima! (aiōnios g166)
13 I command you before God, who gives life to all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate testified the good confession,
Zapovijedam pred Bogom koji svemu život daje i pred Kristom Isusom koji pred Poncijem Pilatom posvjedoči lijepo svjedočanstvo:
14 that you keep the commandment without spot, blameless, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ;
čuvaj Zapovijed, neokaljano i besprijekorno, do Pojavka Gospodina našega Isusa Krista.
15 which in its own times he will show, who is the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
Njega će u svoje vrijeme pokazati On, Blaženi i jedini Vladar, Kralj kraljeva i Gospodar gospodara,
16 who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light; whom no human has seen, nor can see: to whom be honor and eternal power. Amen. (aiōnios g166)
koji jedini ima besmrtnost, prebiva u svjetlu nedostupnu, koga nitko od ljudi ne vidje niti ga vidjeti može. Njemu čast i vlast vjekovječna! Amen. (aiōnios g166)
17 Charge those who are rich in this present world that they not be haughty, nor have their hope set on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy; (aiōn g165)
Onima koji su u sadašnjem svijetu bogati zapovijedaj neka ne budu bahati i neka se ne uzdaju u nesigurno bogatstvo, nego u Boga koji nam sve bogato daje na uživanje; (aiōn g165)
18 that they do good, that they be rich in good works, that they be ready to distribute, willing to communicate;
neka dobro čine, neka se bogate dobrim djelima, neka budu darežljivi, zajedničari -
19 laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold of that which is truly life.
prikupljajući sebi lijepu glavnicu za budućnost da osvoje onaj pravi život.
20 Timothy, guard that which is committed to you, turning away from the empty chatter and oppositions of the knowledge which is falsely so called;
Timoteju, poklad čuvaj kloneći se svjetovnoga praznoglasja i proturječja nekog nazovispoznanja,
21 which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with you.
koje su neki ispovijedali pa od vjere zastranili. Milost s vama
