1 Timoteju 1
1 Pavao, apostol Krista Isusa po nalogu Boga, Spasitelja našega, i Krista Isusa, nade naše,
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ according to the command of God our Savior and the Lord Jesus Christ our hope,
2 Timoteju, pravomu sinu u vjeri: milost, milosrđe i mir od Boga Oca i Krista Isusa, Gospodina našega!
to Timothy, my true child in the faith: Grace, mercy, and 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
Just as I urged yoʋ when I was going to Macedonia, remain in Ephesus so that yoʋ may charge certain people not to teach different doctrines
4 i neka se ne zanose beskrajnim bajkama i rodoslovljima, koja više pogoduju rasprama negoli rasporedbi Božjoj po vjeri.
or to occupy themselves with myths and endless genealogies, which promote disputes rather than the plan of God that operates by faith.
5 Svrha je te zapovijedi ljubav iz čista srca, dobre savjesti i vjere neprijetvorne.
The goal of our instruction is love from a pure heart, from a good conscience, and from sincere faith.
6 To su neki promašili i zastranili u praznorječje;
Some have strayed from these and have turned aside to meaningless talk,
7 htjeli bi biti učitelji Zakona, a ne razumiju ni što govore ni što tvrde.
desiring to be teachers of the law, although they do not understand what they are talking about or what they so confidently 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 lawfully.
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,
We know that the law is not laid down for the righteous, but for the lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their father or mother, for murderers,
10 bludnike, muškoložnike, trgovce ljudima, varalice, krivokletnike, i ima li još što protivno zdravom nauku -
fornicators, homosexuals, slave traders, liars, perjurers, and whatever else is opposed to the sound teaching
11 po evanđelju Slave blaženoga Boga koje je meni povjereno.
that conforms to the gospel of the glory of the blessed God, which has been entrusted to me.
12 Zahvalan sam Onome koji mi dade snagu - Kristu Isusu, Gospodinu našemu - jer me smatrao vrijednim povjerenja, kad u službu postavi mene
I give thanks to Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me strength, because he considered me to be faithful and appointed me to serve him,
13 koji prije bijah hulitelj, progonitelj i nasilnik. Ali pomilovan sam jer sam to u neznanju učinio, još u nevjeri.
even though I was formerly a blasphemer, a persecutor, and an insolent man. But I received mercy because I had ignorantly acted in unbelief,
14 I milost Gospodina našega preobilovala je zajedno s vjerom i ljubavlju, u Kristu Isusu.
and the grace of our Lord abounded to me greatly 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.
This saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost.
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)
But I received mercy for this reason, that in me, as the foremost sinner, Jesus Christ might show complete patience, making me an example for those who would come to believe in him for 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 of the ages, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, 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
This charge I entrust to yoʋ, Timothy, my child, according to the prophecies once made about yoʋ, so that by them yoʋ may fight the good fight,
19 imajući vjeru i dobru savjest, koju su neki odbacili i doživjeli brodolom vjere.
having faith and a good conscience. By rejecting this, some have shipwrecked their faith.
20 Među njima je Himenej i Aleksandar, koje sam predao Sotoni da nauče ne huliti.
Among them are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have handed over to Satan so that they may learn not to blaspheme.
