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 commandment 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 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
As I urged you when I was going into Macedonia, stay at Ephesus that you might command certain men not to teach a different doctrine,
4 i neka se ne zanose beskrajnim bajkama i rodoslovljima, koja više pogoduju rasprama negoli rasporedbi Božjoj po vjeri.
and not to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which cause disputes rather than God’s stewardship, which is in faith.
5 Svrha je te zapovijedi ljubav iz čista srca, dobre savjesti i vjere neprijetvorne.
But the goal of this command is love from a pure heart, a good conscience, and sincere faith,
6 To su neki promašili i zastranili u praznorječje;
from which things some, having missed the mark, have turned away to vain talking,
7 htjeli bi biti učitelji Zakona, a ne razumiju ni što govore ni što tvrde.
desiring to be teachers of the law, though they understand neither what they say nor about what they strongly affirm.
8 A mi znamo da je Zakon dobar ako se tko njime služi zakonito,
But we know that the law is good if a person 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,
as knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
10 bludnike, muškoložnike, trgovce ljudima, varalice, krivokletnike, i ima li još što protivno zdravom nauku -
for the sexually immoral, for homosexuals, for slave-traders, for liars, for perjurers, and for any other thing contrary to the sound doctrine,
11 po evanđelju Slave blaženoga Boga koje je meni povjereno.
according to the Good News of the glory of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
12 Zahvalan sam Onome koji mi dade snagu - Kristu Isusu, Gospodinu našemu - jer me smatrao vrijednim povjerenja, kad u službu postavi mene
I thank him who enabled me, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he counted me faithful, appointing me to service,
13 koji prije bijah hulitelj, progonitelj i nasilnik. Ali pomilovan sam jer sam to u neznanju učinio, još u nevjeri.
although I used to be a blasphemer, a persecutor, and insolent. However, I obtained mercy because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.
14 I milost Gospodina našega preobilovala je zajedno s vjerom i ljubavlju, u Kristu Isusu.
The grace of our Lord abounded exceedingly with faith and love which is 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.
The saying is faithful and worthy of all acceptance, that 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)
However, for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first, Jesus Christ might display all his patience for an example of those who were going 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 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
I commit this instruction to you, my child Timothy, according to the prophecies which were given to you before, that by them you may wage the good warfare,
19 imajući vjeru i dobru savjest, koju su neki odbacili i doživjeli brodolom vjere.
holding faith and a good conscience, which some having thrust away made a 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 delivered to Satan that they might be taught not to blaspheme.
