1 Timothy 1
1 Paul, apostle of Jesus Christ, according to [the] command of God our Saviour, and of Christ Jesus our hope,
Pavao, apostol Krista Isusa po nalogu Boga, Spasitelja našega, i Krista Isusa, nade naše,
2 to Timotheus, [my] true child in faith: grace, mercy, peace, from God our Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
Timoteju, pravomu sinu u vjeri: milost, milosrđe i mir od Boga Oca i Krista Isusa, Gospodina našega!
3 Even as I begged thee to remain in Ephesus, [when I was] going to Macedonia, that thou mightest enjoin some not to teach other doctrines,
Kao što sam te zamolio kad sam odlazio u Makedoniju, ostani u Efezu da zapovijediš nekima neka ne naučavaju drugih nauka
4 nor to turn their minds to fables and interminable genealogies, which bring questionings rather than [further] God's dispensation, which [is] in faith.
i neka se ne zanose beskrajnim bajkama i rodoslovljima, koja više pogoduju rasprama negoli rasporedbi Božjoj po vjeri.
5 But the end of what is enjoined is love out of a pure heart and a good conscience and unfeigned faith;
Svrha je te zapovijedi ljubav iz čista srca, dobre savjesti i vjere neprijetvorne.
6 which [things] some having missed, have turned aside to vain discourse,
To su neki promašili i zastranili u praznorječje;
7 desiring to be law-teachers, not understanding either what they say or concerning what they [so] strenuously affirm.
htjeli bi biti učitelji Zakona, a ne razumiju ni što govore ni što tvrde.
8 Now we know that the law [is] good if any one uses it lawfully,
A mi znamo da je Zakon dobar ako se tko njime služi zakonito,
9 knowing this, that law has not its application to a righteous person, but to [the] lawless and insubordinate, to [the] impious and sinful, to [the] unholy and profane, to smiters of fathers and smiters of mothers; to 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 fornicators, sodomites, kidnappers, liars, perjurers; and if any other thing is opposed to sound teaching,
bludnike, muškoložnike, trgovce ljudima, varalice, krivokletnike, i ima li još što protivno zdravom nauku -
11 according to the glad tidings of the glory of the blessed God, with which I have been entrusted.
po evanđelju Slave blaženoga Boga koje je meni povjereno.
12 [And] I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me power, that he has counted me faithful, appointing to ministry him
Zahvalan sam Onome koji mi dade snagu - Kristu Isusu, Gospodinu našemu - jer me smatrao vrijednim povjerenja, kad u službu postavi mene
13 who before was a blasphemer and persecutor, and an insolent overbearing [man]: but mercy was shewn me because I did it ignorantly, in unbelief.
koji prije bijah hulitelj, progonitelj i nasilnik. Ali pomilovan sam jer sam to u neznanju učinio, još u nevjeri.
14 But the grace of our Lord surpassingly over-abounded with faith and love, which [is] in Christ Jesus.
I milost Gospodina našega preobilovala je zajedno s vjerom i ljubavlju, u Kristu Isusu.
15 Faithful [is] the word, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am [the] first.
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 reason mercy was shewn me, that in me, [the] first, Jesus Christ might display the whole long-suffering, for a delineation of those about to believe on him to life eternal. (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 of the ages, [the] incorruptible, invisible, only God, honour and glory to the ages of ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
A Kralju vjekova, besmrtnome, nevidljivome, jedinome Bogu čast i slava u vijeke vjekova. Amen. (aiōn g165)
18 This charge, [my] child Timotheus, I commit to thee, according to the prophecies as to thee preceding, in order that thou mightest war by them the good warfare,
Taj ti zadatak predajem, sine Timoteju, u skladu s proroštvima nekoć nad tobom izrečenima: na njih oslonjen, bij boj plemeniti
19 maintaining faith and a good conscience; which [last] some, having put away, have made shipwreck as to faith;
imajući vjeru i dobru savjest, koju su neki odbacili i doživjeli brodolom vjere.
20 of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have delivered to Satan, that they may be taught by discipline not to blaspheme.
Među njima je Himenej i Aleksandar, koje sam predao Sotoni da nauče ne huliti.
