1 Timothy 6
1 Let as many as are servants under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honour, that the name of God and the doctrine be not blasphemed.
Robovi koji su god pod jarmom da pokazuju svaku èast svojijem gospodarima, da se ne huli na ime Božije i na nauku.
2 And they that have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brethren; but let them serve them the rather, because they that partake of the benefit are believing and beloved. These things teach and exhort.
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 any man teacheth a different doctrine, and consenteth not to sound words, [even] the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;
Ako li ko drukèije uèi, i ne pristaje na zdrave rijeèi Gospoda našega Isusa Hrista i na nauku pobožnu,
4 he is puffed up, knowing nothing, but doting about questionings and disputes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,
Nadu se ne znajuæi ništa, nego bolujuæi od zapitkivanja i praznijeh prepiranja, oda šta postaje zavist, svaða, huljenje, zle misli,
5 wranglings of men corrupted in mind and bereft of the truth, supposing that godliness is a way of gain.
Zaludna prepiranja onakovijeh ljudi koji imaju um izopaèen i nemaju istine, koji misle da je pobožnost trgovina. Kloni se takovijeh.
6 But godliness with contentment is great gain:
Ali jest velika trgovina pobožnost sa zadovoljstvom.
7 for we brought nothing into the world, for neither can we carry anything out;
Jer ništa ne donesosmo na ovaj svijet, dakle ne možemo ništa ni odnijeti.
8 but having food and covering we shall be therewith content.
A kad imamo hranu i odjeæu, ovijem da budemo dovoljni.
9 But they that desire to be rich fall into a temptation and a snare and many foolish and hurtful lusts, such as drown men in destruction and 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 the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil: which some reaching after have been led astray from the faith, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
Jer je korijen sviju zala srebroljublje kojemu neki predavši se zaðoše od vjere i na sebe navukoše muke velike.
11 But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, 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 the faith, lay hold on the life eternal, whereunto thou wast called, and didst confess the good confession 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 thee in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and of Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed the good confession;
Zapovijedam ti pred Bogom koji sve oživljuje, i Hristom Isusom koji svjedoèi za vladanja Pontija Pilata dobro priznanje,
14 that thou keep the commandment, without spot, without reproach, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:
Da držiš zapovijest èistu i nezazornu do dolaska Gospoda našega Isusa Hrista,
15 which in its own times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
Koji æe u svoje vrijeme pokazati blaženi i jedini silni car nad carevima i gospodar nad gospodarima,
16 who only hath immortality, dwelling in light unapproachable; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom [be] honour and power eternal. 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 Charge them that are rich in this present world, that they be not highminded, nor have their hope set on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who giveth us richly all things 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 that they do good, that they be rich in good works, that they be ready to distribute, willing to communicate;
Neka dobro èine, neka se bogate u dobrijem djelima, neka budu podašni, zajednièni,
19 laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on the life which is [life] indeed.
Sabirajuæi sebi temelj dobar za unapredak, da prime život vjeèni.
20 O Timothy, guard that which is committed unto [thee], turning away from the profane babblings and oppositions of the knowledge which is falsely so called;
O Timotije! saèuvaj što ti je predano, kloni se poganijeh praznijeh razgovora i prepiranja lažno nazvanoga razuma,
21 which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with you.
Kojijem se neki hvaleæi otpadoše od vjere. Blagodat s tobom. Amin.
