1 Timothy 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the command of God our Savior and of Christ Jesus our hope,
Pavao, apostol Krista Isusa po nalogu Boga, Spasitelja našega, i Krista Isusa, nade naše,
2 To Timothy, my true child in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
Timoteju, pravomu sinu u vjeri: milost, milosrđe i mir od Boga Oca i Krista Isusa, Gospodina našega!
3 As I urged you on my departure to Macedonia, you should stay on at Ephesus to instruct certain men not to teach false doctrines
Kao što sam te zamolio kad sam odlazio u Makedoniju, ostani u Efezu da zapovijediš nekima neka ne naučavaju drugih nauka
4 or devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies, which promote speculation rather than the stewardship of God’s work, which is by faith.
i neka se ne zanose beskrajnim bajkama i rodoslovljima, koja više pogoduju rasprama negoli rasporedbi Božjoj po vjeri.
5 The goal of our instruction is the love that comes from a pure heart, a clear conscience, and a sincere faith.
Svrha je te zapovijedi ljubav iz čista srca, dobre savjesti i vjere neprijetvorne.
6 Some have strayed from these ways and turned aside to empty talk.
To su neki promašili i zastranili u praznorječje;
7 They want to be teachers of the law, but they do not understand what they are saying or that which they so confidently assert.
htjeli bi biti učitelji Zakona, a ne razumiju ni što govore ni što tvrde.
8 Now we know that the law is good, if one uses it legitimately.
A mi znamo da je Zakon dobar ako se tko njime služi zakonito,
9 We realize that law is not enacted for the righteous, but for the lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinful, for the unholy and profane, for killers of father or mother, for murderers,
svjestan toga da je Zakon tu ne za pravednika nego za bezakonike i nepokornike, nepobožnike i grešnike, bezbožnike i svetogrdnike, ocoubojice i materoubojice, koljače,
10 for the sexually immoral, for homosexuals, for slave traders and liars and perjurers, and for anyone else who is averse to sound teaching
bludnike, muškoložnike, trgovce ljudima, varalice, krivokletnike, i ima li još što protivno zdravom nauku -
11 that agrees with the glorious gospel of the blessed God, with which I have been entrusted.
po evanđelju Slave blaženoga Boga koje je meni povjereno.
12 I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, that He considered me faithful and appointed me to service.
Zahvalan sam Onome koji mi dade snagu - Kristu Isusu, Gospodinu našemu - jer me smatrao vrijednim povjerenja, kad u službu postavi mene
13 I was formerly a blasphemer, a persecutor, and a violent man; yet because I had acted in ignorance and unbelief, I was shown mercy.
koji prije bijah hulitelj, progonitelj i nasilnik. Ali pomilovan sam jer sam to u neznanju učinio, još u nevjeri.
14 And the grace of our Lord overflowed to me, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.
I milost Gospodina našega preobilovala je zajedno s vjerom i ljubavlju, u Kristu Isusu.
15 This is a trustworthy saying, worthy of full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the worst.
Vjerodostojna je riječ i vrijedna da se posve prihvati: Isus Krist dođe na svijet spasiti grešnike, od kojih sam prvi ja.
16 But for this very reason I was shown mercy, so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display His perfect patience as an example to those who would believe in Him for eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
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)
17 Now to the King eternal, immortal, and invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
A Kralju vjekova, besmrtnome, nevidljivome, jedinome Bogu čast i slava u vijeke vjekova. Amen. (aiōn g165)
18 Timothy, my child, I entrust you with this command in keeping with the previous prophecies about you, so that by them you may fight the good fight,
Taj ti zadatak predajem, sine Timoteju, u skladu s proroštvima nekoć nad tobom izrečenima: na njih oslonjen, bij boj plemeniti
19 holding on to faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and thereby shipwrecked their faith.
imajući vjeru i dobru savjest, koju su neki odbacili i doživjeli brodolom vjere.
20 Among them are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have handed over to Satan to be taught not to blaspheme.
Među njima je Himenej i Aleksandar, koje sam predao Sotoni da nauče ne huliti.
