1 Timothy 4
1 Howbeit, the Spirit, expressly saith—that, in later seasons, some will revolt from the faith, giving heed unto seducing spirits, and unto teachings of demons—
A Duh razgovijetno govori da æe u pošljednja vremena otstupiti neki od vjere slušajuæi lažne duhove i nauke ðavolske,
2 in hypocrisy, speaking falsehood, [of demons] cauterised in their own conscience, —
U licemjerju laža, žigosanijeh na svojoj savjesti,
3 Forbidding to marry, [commanding] to abstain from foods which, God, created to be received with thanksgiving by them who believe and personally 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 Because, every creature of God, is good, and nothing to be cast away, if, with thanksgiving, it be received, —
Jer je svako stvorenje Božije dobro i ništa nije na odmet kad se prima sa zahvalnošæu.
5 For it is hallowed by the word of God and intercession,
Jer se osveæuje rijeèju Božijom i molitvom.
6 These things, submitting to the brethren, thou shall be, a noble, minister of Christ Jesus, nourishing thyself with the words of the faith, and of the noble teaching which thou hast closely studied.
Ovo sve kazujuæi braæi biæeš dobar sluga Isusa Hrista, odgajen rijeèima vjere i dobrom naukom koju si primio.
7 But, from the profane and old-wives’ stories, excuse thyself, and be training thyself unto godliness;
A poganijeh i bapskijeh gatalica kloni se; a obuèavaj se u pobožnosti.
8 For, the bodily training, for little, is profitable, whereas, godliness, for all things is profitable, —having, promise, of life—the present and the coming.
Jer tjelesno obuèavanje malo je korisno, a pobožnost je korisna za svašto, imajuæi obeæanje života sadašnjega i onoga koji ide.
9 Faithful, the saying! and, of all acceptance, worthy;
Ovo je istinita rijeè i dostojna svakoga primanja.
10 For, to this end, are we toiling and contending, because we have set our hope on a Living God, Who is Saviour of all men—specially, of such as believe.
Jer se zato i trudimo i bivamo sramotni, jer se uzdamo u Boga živa, koji je spasitelj svima ljudima, a osobito vjernima.
11 Be giving these things in charge, and be teaching: —
Ovo zapovijedaj i uèi.
12 Let, no one, despise, thy youth, but, an ensample, become thou of the faithful, —in discourse, in behaviour, in love, in faith, in chastity.
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 While I am coming, be giving heed—to the reading, to the exhorting, to the teaching:
Dokle doðem pazi na èitanje, utješavanje i uèenje.
14 Be not careless of the gift of favour, that is in thee, which was given thee through means of prophesying, along with a laying on of the hands of the eldership.
Ne pusti u nemar dar u sebi koji ti je dan po proroštvu metnuvši starješine ruke na tebe.
15 These things, be thy care, in these things, be thou, that, thine advancement, may be, manifest, unto all:
U ovom se pouèavaj, u ovom stoj, da se napredak tvoj pokaže u svemu.
16 Be giving heed to thyself, and to thy teaching, —abide still in them; for, this doing, both, thyself, shalt thou save, and them that hearken to thee.
Pazi na sebe i na nauku, i stoj u tome; jer ovo èineæi spašæeš i samoga sebe i one koji te slušaju.
