1 Timoteju 6
1 Robovi koji su god pod jarmom da pokazuju svaku èast svojijem gospodarima, da se ne huli na ime Božije i na nauku.
Let as many servants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honour, that the name of God and his doctrine may not be blasphemed.
2 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.
And they that have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brethren; but rather do them service, because they are faithful and beloved, partakers of the benefit. These things teach and exhort.
3 Ako li ko drukèije uèi, i ne pristaje na zdrave rijeèi Gospoda našega Isusa Hrista i na nauku pobožnu,
If any man teacheth otherwise, and agreeth not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the doctrine which is according to godliness;
4 Nadu se ne znajuæi ništa, nego bolujuæi od zapitkivanja i praznijeh prepiranja, oda šta postaje zavist, svaða, huljenje, zle misli,
He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, from which cometh envy, strife, railings, evil suspicions,
5 Zaludna prepiranja onakovijeh ljudi koji imaju um izopaèen i nemaju istine, koji misle da je pobožnost trgovina. Kloni se takovijeh.
Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing gain to be godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
6 Ali jest velika trgovina pobožnost sa zadovoljstvom.
But godliness with contentment is great gain.
7 Jer ništa ne donesosmo na ovaj svijet, dakle ne možemo ništa ni odnijeti.
For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
8 A kad imamo hranu i odjeæu, ovijem da budemo dovoljni.
And having food and raiment with these let us be content.
9 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.
But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
10 Jer je korijen sviju zala srebroljublje kojemu neki predavši se zaðoše od vjere i na sebe navukoše muke velike.
For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some have coveted, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
11 A ti, o èovjeèe Božij! bjegaj od ovoga, a idi za pravdom, pobožnosti, vjerom, ljubavi, trpljenjem, krotosti.
But thou, O man of God, flee from these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
12 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)
Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. (aiōnios g166)
13 Zapovijedam ti pred Bogom koji sve oživljuje, i Hristom Isusom koji svjedoèi za vladanja Pontija Pilata dobro priznanje,
I command thee in the sight of God, who maketh alive all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession;
14 Da držiš zapovijest èistu i nezazornu do dolaska Gospoda našega Isusa Hrista,
That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:
15 Koji æe u svoje vrijeme pokazati blaženi i jedini silni car nad carevima i gospodar nad gospodarima,
Who in his times he shall show, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
16 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)
Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen. (aiōnios g166)
17 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)
Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; (aiōn g165)
18 Neka dobro èine, neka se bogate u dobrijem djelima, neka budu podašni, zajednièni,
That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to share;
19 Sabirajuæi sebi temelj dobar za unapredak, da prime život vjeèni.
Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.
20 O Timotije! saèuvaj što ti je predano, kloni se poganijeh praznijeh razgovora i prepiranja lažno nazvanoga razuma,
O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:
21 Kojijem se neki hvaleæi otpadoše od vjere. Blagodat s tobom. Amin.
Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen. The first to Timothy was written from Laodicea, which is the chiefest city of Phrygia Pacatiana.
