1 Corinthians 7
1 And concerning the things of which you wrote to me: [it is] good for a man not to touch a woman,
A za ono što mi pisaste: dobro je èovjeku da se ne dohvata do žene:
2 and because of the whoredom let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her proper husband;
Ali zbog kurvarstva svaki da ima svoju ženu, i svaka žena da ima svojega muža;
3 to the wife let the husband render the due benevolence, and in like manner also the wife to the husband;
Muž da èini ženi dužnu ljubav, tako i žena mužu.
4 the wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband; and in like manner also, the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife.
Žena nije gospodar od svojega tijela, nego muž; tako i muž nije gospodar od svojega tijela, nego žena.
5 Do not defraud one another, except by consent for a time, that you may be free for fasting and prayer, and again may come together, that Satan may not tempt you because of your self-indulgence;
Ne zabranjujte se jedno od drugoga, veæ ako u dogovoru za vrijeme, da se postite i molite Bogu; i opet da se sastanete, da vas sotona ne iskuša vašijem neuzdržanjem.
6 and this I say by way of concurrence—not of command,
Ali ovo govorim po svjetu a ne po zapovijesti;
7 for I wish all men to be even as I myself [am]; but each has his own gift of God, one indeed thus and one thus.
Jer hoæu da svi ljudi budu kao i ja; ali svaki ima svoj dar od Boga: ovaj dakle ovako a onaj onako.
8 And I say to the unmarried and to the widows: it is good for them if they may remain even as I [am];
A neoženjenijem i udovicama velim: dobro im je ako ostanu kao i ja što sam.
9 and if they do not have continence—let them marry, for it is better to marry than to burn;
Ako li se ne uzdrže, neka se žene i udaju; jer je bolje ženiti se negoli upaljivati se.
10 and to the married I announce—not I, but the LORD—do not let a wife separate from a husband:
A oženjenijem zapovijedam, ne ja nego Gospod, da se žena od muža ne razdvaja
11 but, and if she may separate, let her remain unmarried, or let her be reconciled to the husband, and do not let a husband send a wife away.
Ako li se pak i razdvoji, da se više ne udaje, ili da se pomiri sa svojijem mužem i muž da ne pušæa žene.
12 And to the rest I speak—not the LORD—if any brother has an unbelieving wife, and she is pleased to dwell with him, do not let him send her away;
A ostalima govorim ja a ne Gospod: ako koji brat ima ženu nekrštenu i ona se privoli življeti s njim, da je ne ostavlja.
13 and a woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he is pleased to dwell with her, do not let her send him away;
I žena ako ima muža nekrštena i on se privoli življeti s njom, da ga ne ostavlja.
14 for the unbelieving husband has been sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified in the husband; otherwise your children are unclean, but now they are holy.
Jer se posveti muž nekršten ženom krštenom, i posveti se žena nekrštena od muža krštenoga; jer inaèe djeca vaša bila bi neèista, a sad su sveta.
15 And if the unbelieving separates himself—let him separate himself: the brother or the sister is not under servitude in such [cases], and in peace has God called us;
Ako li se nekršteni razdvaja, neka se razdvoji; jer se brat ili sestra u takovom dogaðaju ne zarobi; jer nas na mir dozva Gospod Bog.
16 for what, have you known, O wife, whether you will save the husband? Or what, have you known, O husband, whether you will save the wife?
Jer šta znaš, ženo, da ako muža spaseš? ili šta znaš, mužu, da ako ženu spaseš?
17 If not, as God distributed to each, as the LORD has called each—so let him walk; and thus I direct in all the assemblies:
Samo kao što je Bog razdijelio svakome, i kao što je svakoga pozvao Gospod onako neka živi. I tako zapovijedam po svijem crkvama.
18 being circumcised—was anyone called? Do not let him become uncircumcised; in uncircumcision was anyone called? Do not let him be circumcised;
Je li ko pozvat obrezan, neka se ne gradi neobrezan; ako li je ko pozvat neobrezan, neka se ne obrezuje.
19 the circumcision is nothing, and the uncircumcision is nothing—but a keeping of the commands of God.
Obrezanje je ništa, i neobrezanje je ništa; nego držanje zapovijesti Božijeh.
20 Each in the calling in which he was called—in this let him remain;
Svaki neka ostane u onome zvanju u kome je pozvan.
21 a servant—were you called? Do not be anxious; but if also you are able to become free—use [it] rather;
Jesi li pozvan rob, ne brini se; nego ako i možeš svoj biti, još radije budi.
22 for he who [is] in the LORD—having been called a servant—is the LORD’s freedman: in like manner also he the freeman, having been called, is servant of Christ:
Jer koji je pozvan u Gospodu rob, slobodnjak je Gospodnji, tako i koji je pozvan slobodnjak, rob je Hristov.
23 you were bought with a price, do not become servants of men;
Kupljeni ste skupo, ne budite robovi ljudima.
24 each, in that in which he was called, brothers, in this let him remain with God.
Svaki, braæo, u èemu je ko pozvan u onome neka ostane pred Gospodom.
25 And concerning the virgins, I do not have a command of the LORD; and I give judgment as having obtained kindness from the LORD to be faithful.
A za djevojke nemam zapovijesti Gospodnje, nego dajem svjet, kao koji sam pomilovan od Gospoda, da budem vjeran.
26 I suppose, therefore, this to be good because of the present necessity, that [it is] good for a man that the matter be thus:
Mislim dakle ovo da æe biti dobro za sadašnju nevolju da je èovjeku dobro tako biti.
27 Have you been bound to a wife? Do not seek to be loosed; have you been loosed from a wife? Do not seek a wife.
Jesi li se privezao za ženu, ne traži da se razdriješiš; jesi li se odriješio od žene, ne traži žene.
28 But, and if you may marry, you did not sin; and if the virgin may marry, she did not sin; and such will have tribulation in the flesh: and I spare you.
A ako li se i oženiš, nijesi sagriješio; i djevojka ako se uda, nije sagriješila: ali æe imati takovi nevolje tjelesne; a ja vas žalim.
29 And this I say, brothers, the time from now on is having been shortened—that both those having wives may be as not having;
A ovo govorim, braæo, jer je ostalo vrijeme prekraæeno, da æe i oni koji imaju žene biti kao oni koji nemaju;
30 and those weeping, as not weeping; and those rejoicing, as not rejoicing; and those buying, as not possessing;
I koji plaèu kao koji ne plaèu; i koji se raduju kao koji se ne raduju; i koji kupuju kao koji nemaju;
31 and those using this world, as not using [it] up; for the [present] form of this world is passing away.
I koji ovaj svijet upotrebljavaju kao da ga ne upotrebljavaju: jer prolazi oblièje ovoga svijeta.
32 And I wish you to be without anxiety; the unmarried is anxious for the things of the LORD, how he will please the LORD;
A ja hoæu da ste vi bezbrižni. Ko je neoženjen brine se za Gospodnje, kako æe ugoditi Gospodu;
33 and the married is anxious for the things of the world, how he will please the wife.
A koji je oženjen brine se za svjetsko, kako æe ugoditi ženi. Drugo je žena, a drugo je djevojka.
34 The wife and the virgin have been distinguished: the unmarried is anxious for the things of the LORD, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit, and the married is anxious for the things of the world, how she will please the husband.
Koja je neudata brine se za Gospodnje, kako æe ugoditi Gospodu, da bude sveta i tijelom i duhom; a koja je udata brine se za svjetsko, kako æe ugoditi mužu.
35 And this I say for your own profit: not that I may cast a noose on you, but for the seemliness and devotedness to the LORD, undistractedly,
A ovo govorim na korist vama samijem, ne da vam nametnem zamku na vrat, nego za lijepu i pristojnu službu Gospodu bez smetnje.
36 and if anyone thinks [it] to be unseemly to his virgin, if she may be beyond the bloom of age, and it ought to be so, what he wills let him do; he does not sin—let him marry.
Ako li pak ko misli da je sramota za njegovu djevojku kad ostane usidjelica, i ne može drukèije biti, neka èini šta hoæe, ne griješi ako se uda.
37 And he does well who has stood steadfast in the heart—not having necessity—and has authority over his own will, and he has determined this in his heart—to keep his own virgin;
A koji stoji tvrdo u srcu, i nema nevolje, a ima vlast nad svojom voljom, i ovo je rasudio u srcu svojemu da zadrži djevojku, dobro èini.
38 so that both he who is giving in marriage does well, and he who is not giving in marriage does better.
Tako i onaj koji udaje svoju djevojku dobro èini; ali koji ne udaje bolje èini.
39 A wife has been bound by law [for] as long [a] time as her husband may live, and if her husband may sleep, she is free to be married to whom she will—only in the LORD;
Žena je privezana zakonom dokle joj god živi muž; a ako joj umre muž, slobodna je za koga hoæe da se uda, samo u Gospodu.
40 and she is happier if she may so remain—according to my judgment; and I think I also have the Spirit of God.
Ali je blaženija ako ostane tako po mojemu svjetu; jer mislim da i ja imam Duha Božijega.
