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 commandment of God, our Saviour, and of 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 own son in the faith: Favor, mercy, and peace from God our Father, and from 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 entreated you to continue in Ephesus, when going into Macedonia, that you may charge some not to teach differently,
4 i neka se ne zanose beskrajnim bajkama i rodoslovljima, koja više pogoduju rasprama negoli rasporedbi Božjoj po vjeri.
nor to give heed to fables, and endless genealogies, which occasion disputes rather than godly edification, which is through faith;
5 Svrha je te zapovijedi ljubav iz čista srca, dobre savjesti i vjere neprijetvorne.
(now the end of the charge is love, from a pure heart, and a good conscience, and unfeigned faith:
6 To su neki promašili i zastranili u praznorječje;
from which things some having swerved, have turned aside to foolish talking; )
7 htjeli bi biti učitelji Zakona, a ne razumiju ni što govore ni što tvrde.
desiring to be teachers of the law, neither understanding what they say, nor the things about which they are so positive.
8 A mi znamo da je Zakon dobar ako se tko njime služi zakonito,
We know, indeed, that the law is good, if one use 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,
knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disorderly, the ungodly and sinners, the unholy and profane; murderers of fathers, and murderers of mothers, manslayers,
10 bludnike, muškoložnike, trgovce ljudima, varalice, krivokletnike, i ima li još što protivno zdravom nauku -
fornicators, sodomites, manstealers, liars, false swearers, and if any other thing be opposite to wholesome doctrine;
11 po evanđelju Slave blaženoga Boga koje je meni povjereno.
according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, with which I am intrusted.
12 Zahvalan sam Onome koji mi dade snagu - Kristu Isusu, Gospodinu našemu - jer me smatrao vrijednim povjerenja, kad u službu postavi mene
Now, I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has qualified me, that he reckoned me faithful, appointing me to the ministry,
13 koji prije bijah hulitelj, progonitelj i nasilnik. Ali pomilovan sam jer sam to u neznanju učinio, još u nevjeri.
who was formerly a defamer, and a persecutor, and an injurious person. But I received mercy, because I acted ignorantly in unbelief;
14 I milost Gospodina našega preobilovala je zajedno s vjerom i ljubavlju, u Kristu Isusu.
and the favor of the Lord has superabounded, with the faith and love which is by 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 true, and worthy of all reception, 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 received mercy, that in me, the chief of sinners, Jesus Christ might show forth all long-suffering, for a pattern to them who should believe on him, in order to everlasting 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 alone, be honor and glory, for ever 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 commit to you, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before you, concerning you, that we may carry on, through them, the good warfare;
19 imajući vjeru i dobru savjest, koju su neki odbacili i doživjeli brodolom vjere.
holding fast faith and a good conscience; which some have put away, with respect to the faith, having made shipwreck:
20 Među njima je Himenej i Aleksandar, koje sam predao Sotoni da nauče ne huliti.
of whom are Hymeneus and Alexander, whom I have delivered to the adversary, that they might be taught by chastisement not to blaspheme.
