1 Timothy 6
1 Let as many seruaunts as are vnder the yoke, count their masters worthie of all honour, that the Name of God, and his doctrine be not euill spoken of.
Koji su pod jarmom, robovi, neka svoje gospodare smatraju svake časti dostojnima da se ne bi pogrđivalo ime Božje i nauk.
2 And they which haue beleeuing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brethren, but rather doe seruice, because they are faithfull, and beloued, and partakers of the benefite. These things teach and exhort.
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!
3 If any man teach otherwise, and consenteth not to the wholesome wordes of our Lord Iesus Christ, and to the doctrine, which is according to godlinesse,
A tko drukčije naučava i ne prianja uza zdrave riječi, riječi Gospodina našega Isusa Krista, i nauk u skladu s pobožnošću,
4 He is puft vp and knoweth nothing, but doteth about questions and strife of words, whereof commeth enuie, strife, railings, euill surmisings,
nadut je, puka neznalica, samo boluje od raspra i rječoborstava, od kojih nastaje zavist, svađa, pogrde, zla sumnjičenja,
5 Frowarde disputations of men of corrupt mindes and destitute of ye trueth, which thinke that gaine is godlines: from such separate thy selfe.
razračunavanja ljudi pokvarene pameti i lišenih istine, što pobožnost smatraju dobitkom.
6 But godlinesse is great gaine, if a man be content with that he hath.
Pa i jest dobitak velik pobožnost, zadovoljna onim što ima!
7 For we brought nothing into the world, and it is certaine, that we can carie nothing out.
Ta ništa nismo donijeli na svijet te iz njega ništa ni iznijeti ne možemo!
8 Therefore when wee haue foode and raiment, let vs therewith be content.
Imamo li dakle hranu i odjeću, zadovoljimo se time.
9 For they that will be rich, fall into tentation and snares, and into many foolish and noysome lustes, which drowne men in perdition and destruction.
Jer oni koji se hoće bogatiti, upadaju u napast, zamku i mnoge nerazumne i štetne požude što ljude strovaljuju u zator i propast.
10 For the desire of money is the roote of all euill, which while some lusted after, they erred from the faith, and pearced themselues through with many sorowes.
Zaista, korijen svih zala jest srebroljublje; njemu odani, mnogi odlutaše od vjere i sami sebe isprobadaše mukama mnogima.
11 But thou, O man of God, flee these things, and follow after righteousnesse, godlines, faith, loue, patience, and meekenes.
A ti se, Božji čovječe, toga kloni! Teži za pravednošću, pobožnošću, vjerom, ljubavlju, postojanošću, krotkošću!
12 Fight the good fight of faith: lay holde of eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. (aiōnios g166)
Bij dobar boj vjere, osvoji vječni život na koji si pozvan i radi kojega si dao ono lijepo svjedočanstvo pred mnogim svjedocima! (aiōnios g166)
13 I charge thee in the sight of God, who quickeneth all thinges, and before Iesus Christ, which vnder Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession,
Zapovijedam pred Bogom koji svemu život daje i pred Kristom Isusom koji pred Poncijem Pilatom posvjedoči lijepo svjedočanstvo:
14 That thou keepe this commandement without spot, and vnrebukeable, vntill the appearing of our Lord Iesus Christ,
čuvaj Zapovijed, neokaljano i besprijekorno, do Pojavka Gospodina našega Isusa Krista.
15 Which in due time hee shall shewe, that is blessed and Prince onely, the King of Kings and Lord of Lordes,
Njega će u svoje vrijeme pokazati On, Blaženi i jedini Vladar, Kralj kraljeva i Gospodar gospodara,
16 Who onely hath immortalitie, and dwelleth in the light that none can attaine vnto, whom neuer man sawe, neither can see, vnto whome bee honour and power euerlasting, Amen. (aiōnios g166)
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)
17 Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not high minded, and that they trust not in vncertaine riches, but in the liuing God, (which giueth vs aboundantly, all things to enioy) (aiōn g165)
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)
18 That they doe good, and be riche in good woorkes, and readie to distribute, and comunicate,
neka dobro čine, neka se bogate dobrim djelima, neka budu darežljivi, zajedničari -
19 Laying vp in store for themselues a good foundation against the time to come, that they may obteine eternall life.
prikupljajući sebi lijepu glavnicu za budućnost da osvoje onaj pravi život.
20 O Timotheus, keepe that which is committed vnto thee, and auoide prophane and vaine babblings, and oppositios of science falsely so called,
Timoteju, poklad čuvaj kloneći se svjetovnoga praznoglasja i proturječja nekog nazovispoznanja,
21 Which while some professe, they haue erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee, Amen. ‘The first Epistle to Timotheus, written from Laodicea, which is the chiefest citie of Phrygia Pacaciana.’
koje su neki ispovijedali pa od vjere zastranili. Milost s vama
