1 Timoteju 6
1 Koji su pod jarmom, robovi, neka svoje gospodare smatraju svake časti dostojnima da se ne bi pogrđivalo ime Božje i nauk.
All who are under the yoke of slavery must regard their own masters as worthy of all honor, so that no one will revile God's name or his doctrine.
2 A oni kojima su gospodari vjernici, neka ih ne cijene manje zato što su braća, nego neka im još više služe jer ti koji primaju njihovo dobročinstvo vjernici su i ljubljena braća. To naučavaj i preporučuj!
Slaves who have believing masters must not despise them, for they are brothers; rather they must serve them, because those who benefit from their good service are faithful and beloved. Teach and encourage these things.
3 A tko drukčije naučava i ne prianja uza zdrave riječi, riječi Gospodina našega Isusa Krista, i nauk u skladu s pobožnošću,
If anyone teaches a different doctrine and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching that is in accordance with godliness,
4 nadut je, puka neznalica, samo boluje od raspra i rječoborstava, od kojih nastaje zavist, svađa, pogrde, zla sumnjičenja,
he is puffed up and understands nothing. Moreover, he has an unhealthy desire for controversies and quarrels about words, from which come envy, strife, slanderous words, evil suspicions,
5 razračunavanja ljudi pokvarene pameti i lišenih istine, što pobožnost smatraju dobitkom.
and constant disagreement among people who are depraved in mind and deprived of the truth, supposing that godliness is a means of gain. Keep away from such people.
6 Pa i jest dobitak velik pobožnost, zadovoljna onim što ima!
But godliness with contentment is great gain.
7 Ta ništa nismo donijeli na svijet te iz njega ništa ni iznijeti ne možemo!
For we brought nothing into the world, and it is clear that we cannot bring anything out either,
8 Imamo li dakle hranu i odjeću, zadovoljimo se time.
but if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that.
9 Jer oni koji se hoće bogatiti, upadaju u napast, zamku i mnoge nerazumne i štetne požude što ljude strovaljuju u zator i propast.
But those who wish to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many senseless and harmful desires that sink people into ruin and destruction.
10 Zaista, korijen svih zala jest srebroljublje; njemu odani, mnogi odlutaše od vjere i sami sebe isprobadaše mukama mnogima.
For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil, and in their eagerness to become rich some have wandered away from the faith, piercing themselves with many sorrows.
11 A ti se, Božji čovječe, toga kloni! Teži za pravednošću, pobožnošću, vjerom, ljubavlju, postojanošću, krotkošću!
But as for yoʋ, O man of God, flee from these things, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faithfulness, love, endurance, and gentleness.
12 Bij dobar boj vjere, osvoji vječni život na koji si pozvan i radi kojega si dao ono lijepo svjedočanstvo pred mnogim svjedocima! (aiōnios g166)
Fight the good fight of faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which yoʋ were called and concerning which yoʋ made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. (aiōnios g166)
13 Zapovijedam pred Bogom koji svemu život daje i pred Kristom Isusom koji pred Poncijem Pilatom posvjedoči lijepo svjedočanstvo:
I charge yoʋ before God, who gives life to all things, and before Christ Jesus, who made the good confession in his testimony before Pontius Pilate,
14 čuvaj Zapovijed, neokaljano i besprijekorno, do Pojavka Gospodina našega Isusa Krista.
that yoʋ obey what has been commanded without fault or reproach until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,
15 Njega će u svoje vrijeme pokazati On, Blaženi i jedini Vladar, Kralj kraljeva i Gospodar gospodara,
which God will reveal in his own time. He is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords,
16 koji jedini ima besmrtnost, prebiva u svjetlu nedostupnu, koga nitko od ljudi ne vidje niti ga vidjeti može. Njemu čast i vlast vjekovječna! Amen. (aiōnios g166)
who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has ever seen or is able to see. To him be honor and eternal power. Amen. (aiōnios g166)
17 Onima koji su u sadašnjem svijetu bogati zapovijedaj neka ne budu bahati i neka se ne uzdaju u nesigurno bogatstvo, nego u Boga koji nam sve bogato daje na uživanje; (aiōn g165)
Command those who are rich in this present age not to be haughty or to put their hope in the uncertainty of riches, but in the living God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. (aiōn g165)
18 neka dobro čine, neka se bogate dobrim djelima, neka budu darežljivi, zajedničari -
Command them to do good, to be rich in good works, and to be generous and willing to share,
19 prikupljajući sebi lijepu glavnicu za budućnost da osvoje onaj pravi život.
treasuring up for themselves a good foundation for the time to come, so that they may take hold of eternal life.
20 Timoteju, poklad čuvaj kloneći se svjetovnoga praznoglasja i proturječja nekog nazovispoznanja,
O Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to yoʋ and avoid the profane chatter and counterarguments of what is falsely called “knowledge.”
21 koje su neki ispovijedali pa od vjere zastranili. Milost s vama
By professing it, some have strayed from the faith. Grace be with yoʋ. Amen.
