1 Corinthians 16
1 Now [I will reply to another question that you asked. You asked] about the [money you are] collecting [to send] to God’s people [in Jerusalem]. Do what I told the congregations in Galatia to do.
U pogledu sabiranja za svete, i vi činite kako odredih crkvama galacijskim.
2 Every Sunday each of you should set aside [at home] some funds [EUP] [for this purpose], in proportion to how much [God] has prospered you. Then you should save it up, so that when I arrive there, you will not need to collect [any more money. Choose some men whom you approve of, to take] this money to Jerusalem.
Svakoga prvog dana u tjednu neka svaki od vas kod sebe na stranu stavlja i skuplja što uzmogne da se ne sabire istom kada dođem.
3 Then, when I arrive, I will write letters stating that you have authorized these men to take the funds there.
A kada dođem, poslat ću s preporučnicom one koje odaberete da odnesu vašu ljubav u Jeruzalem.
4 And if [you] (OR, [I]) think that it is appropriate, I will go with them.
Bude li vrijedno da i ja pođem, poći će sa mnom.
5 Now I plan to travel through Macedonia [province]. I [plan to] come to visit you, but I want to go through Macedonia first.
A k vama ću doći kad prođem Makedoniju; Makedonijom ću samo proći,
6 Perhaps I will stay with you for a short while, or I may stay with you for the whole winter, in order that you yourselves can provide some of the things [that I will need] [EUP] for my next trip.
a kod vas ću se možda zadržati ili čak zimovati da me otpratite kamo god pođem.
7 I do not want to see you just for a short time and then continue my trip. I am hoping to stay with you for a while, if the Lord [Jesus] allows me to do that.
Ne bih vas doista htio tek na prolazu vidjeti jer se nadam neko vrijeme proboraviti kod vas, dopusti li Gospodin.
8 But I will stay [here] in Ephesus [city] until [after] the Pentecost [festival].
U Efezu ću ostati do Pedesetnice
9 [I want to do that] because [God] has given me a great opportunity [MET] [to proclaim his good message here]. [As a result of my work here, God is producing] great results. I also want to stay here because there are many people here who oppose [my work, and I need to refute them].
jer vrata mi se otvoriše velika i uspješna, a protivnika mnogo.
10 When Timothy arrives [there in Corinth], treat him respectfully [LIT], because he is working for the Lord just as I am.
Ako dođe Timotej, gledajte da bude kod vas bez bojazni jer radi djelo Gospodnje kao i ja.
11 Do not let anyone despise him. And when he leaves there, give him some of the things that he needs [for his trip] [EUP] [here], and also [ask God to] bless him. I am waiting for him to come, along with the other fellow believers [who have been traveling with him].
Neka ga dakle nitko ne prezre. A ispratite ga u miru da dođe k meni jer ga s braćom iščekujem.
12 [You also asked] about our fellow believer, Apollos. I urged him strongly that he should go back to you with the three fellow believers [who came here from Corinth]. He was not at all willing to go [now], but he will go later, when he has an opportunity.
A što se tiče brata Apolona: mnogo sam ga nagovarao da ode k vama s braćom. I nikako mu ne bijaše s voljom da sada dođe, no doći će kad mu bude zgodno.
13 Be on guard [against anything that would hinder you spiritually]. You have believed [the true message]; continue believing it firmly. Be courageous. Keep strong [in your relationship with God].
Bdijte postojani u vjeri, muževni budite, čvrsti.
14 Act in a loving [way] in everything that [you do].
Sve vaše neka bude u ljubavi!
15 You know that Stephanas and his family were the first ones [there] in Achaia [province to believe in Christ] [IDM]. They have devoted themselves to helping God’s people.
Zaklinjem vas, braćo - znate dom Stefanin, da je prvina Ahaje i da se posvetiše posluživanju svetih -
16 My fellow believers, I urge you to submit yourselves to them and to people like them who do [God’s] work and who work hard.
da se i vi pokoravate takvima i svakomu tko surađuje i trudi se.
17 I was glad when Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus arrived here [from Corinth], because [they did things for] me that you were not able to do [because you were not with me].
Radujem se s dolaska Stefanina i Fortunatova i Ahajikova jer oni nadoknadiše vašu nenazočnost:
18 They comforted and encouraged me [SYN], and [I expect that this news from me] will do the same for you. You should honor [them, and you should also honor] others like them.
umiriše duh moj i vaš. Cijenite dakle takve.
19 The congregations [here] in Asia [province] (send their greetings to/say that they are thinking fondly of) you. Aquila and [his wife] Priscilla and the congregation that meets in their house (send their warm greetings to/say that they are thinking fondly of) you because both they and you belong to the Lord.
Pozdravljaju vas crkve azijske. Pozdravljaju vas mnogo u Gospodinu Akvila i Priska zajedno s Crkvom u njihovu domu.
20 All your fellow believers [here] (send their greetings to/say that they are thinking of) you. Greet each other affectionately, as fellow believers [should].
Pozdravljaju vas sva braća. Pozdravite jedni druge cjelovom svetim.
21 Now I, Paul, having taken the pen from the hand of my secretary, write with my own hand to say that I am thinking fondly of you/to give you my greetings. I do this to show you that this letter really comes from me.
Pozdrav mojom rukom, Pavlovom.
22 (I pray that God will/May God) curse/cause bad things to happen to (anyone who does not love the Lord Jesus. I pray that our Lord will come soon/May our Lord come soon)!
Ako tko ne ljubi Gospodina, neka bude proklet. Marana tha!
23 I pray that our Lord Jesus will/May our Lord Jesus (continue to act toward you all kindly/in ways that you do not deserve.)
Milost Gospodina Isusa s vama!
24 I love all of you who have a close relationship with Christ Jesus.
Ljubav moja sa svima vama u Kristu Isusu!
