1 Timoteju 1

1 Pavao, apostol Krista Isusa po nalogu Boga, Spasitelja našega, i Krista Isusa, nade naše,

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the command of God our Savior and Sovereign Jesus Christ our hope,

2 Timoteju, pravomu sinu u vjeri: milost, milosrđe i mir od Boga Oca i Krista Isusa, Gospodina našega!

to Timothy, true son by faith: Grace, mercy, peace from God our Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

3 Kao što sam te zamolio kad sam odlazio u Makedoniju, ostani u Efezu da zapovijediš nekima neka ne naučavaju drugih nauka

You recall that I urged you to remain in Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, in order that you should command certain persons to stop teaching a different doctrine

4 i neka se ne zanose beskrajnim bajkama i rodoslovljima, koja više pogoduju rasprama negoli rasporedbi Božjoj po vjeri.

and occupying themselves with myths and endless genealogies, which cause disputes rather than the godly training which is by faith.

5 Svrha je te zapovijedi ljubav iz čista srca, dobre savjesti i vjere neprijetvorne.

Now the goal of that command is love, out of a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith;

6 To su neki promašili i zastranili u praznorječje;

some having strayed from these have been turned aside to empty talk,

7 htjeli bi biti učitelji Zakona, a ne razumiju ni što govore ni što tvrde.

desiring to be teachers of the law, not understanding either what they say or the things that they affirm.

8 A mi znamo da je Zakon dobar ako se tko njime služi zakonito,

Now we know that the law is good if one uses it correctly,

9 svjestan toga da je Zakon tu ne za pravednika nego za bezakonike i nepokornike, nepobožnike i grešnike, bezbožnike i svetogrdnike, ocoubojice i materoubojice, koljače,

knowing that law is not made for a righteous person but for lawless and rebellious ones, for ungodly and sinners, for unholy and profane, for father-smiters and mother-smiters, for murderers,

10 bludnike, muškoložnike, trgovce ljudima, varalice, krivokletnike, i ima li još što protivno zdravom nauku -

for fornicators, for sodomites, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine

11 po evanđelju Slave blaženoga Boga koje je meni povjereno.

as defined by the Gospel of the glory of the blessed God, with which I was entrusted.

12 Zahvalan sam Onome koji mi dade snagu - Kristu Isusu, Gospodinu našemu - jer me smatrao vrijednim povjerenja, kad u službu postavi mene

I thank Christ Jesus our Lord who enables me, because He considered me faithful, putting me into a ministry;

13 koji prije bijah hulitelj, progonitelj i nasilnik. Ali pomilovan sam jer sam to u neznanju učinio, još u nevjeri.

I, who was formerly a blasphemer and a persecutor and arrogant; but I was shown mercy, because being ignorant I did it in unbelief;

14 I milost Gospodina našega preobilovala je zajedno s vjerom i ljubavlju, u Kristu Isusu.

the grace of our Lord overflowed, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.

15 Vjerodostojna je riječ i vrijedna da se posve prihvati: Isus Krist dođe na svijet spasiti grešnike, od kojih sam prvi ja.

Here is a trustworthy word, worthy of total acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am chief;

16 A pomilovan sam zato da na meni prvome Isus Krist pokaže svu strpljivost i pruži primjer svima koji će povjerovati u njega za život vječni. (aiōnios g166)

precisely for this reason I was shown mercy, that in me, the ‘chief’, Jesus Christ might display all his forbearance, as an example for those who are going to rely on Him into eternal life. (aiōnios g166)

17 A Kralju vjekova, besmrtnome, nevidljivome, jedinome Bogu čast i slava u vijeke vjekova. Amen. (aiōn g165)

Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

18 Taj ti zadatak predajem, sine Timoteju, u skladu s proroštvima nekoć nad tobom izrečenima: na njih oslonjen, bij boj plemeniti

Son Timothy, I am giving you this charge in accordance with the prophecies about you that lead the way, that in them you may wage the good warfare,

19 imajući vjeru i dobru savjest, koju su neki odbacili i doživjeli brodolom vjere.

holding on to faith and a good conscience (which some having rejected have suffered shipwreck concerning the Faith;

20 Među njima je Himenej i Aleksandar, koje sam predao Sotoni da nauče ne huliti.

of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander—whom I have handed over to Satan that they may be taught not to blaspheme).
