< Titus 3 >

1 Put them in mind to be subject to rulers, to authorities, to be obedient to rule, to be ready to do every good work,
Opominji ih da budu pokorni i poslušni gospodarima i zapovjednicima, i gotovi na svako dobro djelo;
2 to speak evil of no one, not to be contentious, [to be] mild, shewing all meekness towards all men.
Ni na koga da ne hule, da se ne svaðaju, nego da budu mirni, svaku krotost da pokazuju svijem ljudima,
3 For we were once ourselves also without intelligence, disobedient, wandering in error, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, [and] hating one another.
Jer i mi bijasmo negda ludi, i nepokorni, i prevareni, služeæi razliènijem željama i slastima, u pakosti i zavisti živeæi, mrski buduæi i mrzeæi jedan na drugoga.
4 But when the kindness and love to man of our Saviour God appeared,
A kad se pokaza blagodat i èovjekoljublje spasa našega Boga,
5 not on the principle of works which [have been done] in righteousness which we had done, but according to his own mercy he saved us through [the] washing of regeneration and renewal of [the] Holy Spirit,
Ne za djela pravedna koja mi uèinismo, nego po svojoj milosti spase nas banjom preroðenja i obnovljenjem Duha svetoga,
6 which he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
Kojega izli na nas obilno kroz Isusa Hrista spasitelja našega,
7 that, having been justified by his grace, we should become heirs according to [the] hope of eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Da se opravdamo blagodaæu njegovom, i da budemo našljednici života vjeènoga po nadu. (aiōnios g166)
8 The word [is] faithful, and I desire that thou insist strenuously on these things, that they who have believed God may take care to pay diligent attention to good works. These things are good and profitable to men.
Sine Tite! istinita je rijeè, i u ovome hoæu da utvrðuješ, da se oni koji vjerovaše Bogu trude i staraju za dobro djelo: ovo je korisno ljudima i dobro.
9 But foolish questions, and genealogies, and strifes, and contentions about the law, shun; for they are unprofitable and vain.
A ludijeh zapitkivanja i teftera od plemena, i svaða i prepiranja o zakonu kloni se; jer je to nekorisno i prazno.
10 An heretical man after a first and second admonition have done with,
Èovjeka jeretika po prvome i drugom svjetovanju kloni se,
11 knowing that such a one is perverted, and sins, being self-condemned.
Znajuæi da se takovi izopaèio, i griješi, i sam je sebe osudio.
12 When I shall send Artemas to thee, or Tychicus, use diligence to come to me to Nicopolis; for I have decided to winter there.
Kad pošljem k tebi Artemu ili Tihika, postaraj se da doðeš k meni u Nikopolj, jer sam namislio da ondje zimujem.
13 Zenas the lawyer and Apollos set forward diligently on their way, that nothing may be lacking to them;
Zinu zakonika i Apola lijepo opremi da imaju sve što im treba.
14 and let ours also learn to apply themselves to good works for necessary wants, that they may not be unfruitful.
Ali i naši neka se uèe napredovati u dobrijem djelima, ako gdje bude od potrebe da ne budu bez roda.
15 All with me salute thee. Salute those who love us in [the] faith. Grace [be] with you all.
Pozdravljaju te svi koji su sa mnom. Pozdravi sve koji nas ljube u vjeri. Blagodat sa svima vama. Amin.
