1 Korinæanima 7

1 A za ono što mi pisaste: dobro je èovjeku da se ne dohvata do žene:

Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.

2 Ali zbog kurvarstva svaki da ima svoju ženu, i svaka žena da ima svojega muža;

But, because of fornications, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.

3 Muž da èini ženi dužnu ljubav, tako i žena mužu.

Let the husband render unto the wife her due: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.

4 Žena nije gospodar od svojega tijela, nego muž; tako i muž nije gospodar od svojega tijela, nego žena.

The wife hath not power over her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power over his own body, but the wife.

5 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.

Defraud ye not one the other, except it be by consent for a season, that ye may give yourselves unto prayer, and may be together again, that Satan tempt you not because of your incontinency.

6 Ali ovo govorim po svjetu a ne po zapovijesti;

But this I say by way of permission, not of commandment.

7 Jer hoæu da svi ljudi budu kao i ja; ali svaki ima svoj dar od Boga: ovaj dakle ovako a onaj onako.

Yet I would that all men were even as I myself. Howbeit each man hath his own gift from God, one after this manner, and another after that.

8 A neoženjenijem i udovicama velim: dobro im je ako ostanu kao i ja što sam.

But I say to the unmarried and to widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.

9 Ako li se ne uzdrže, neka se žene i udaju; jer je bolje ženiti se negoli upaljivati se.

But if they have not continency, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.

10 A oženjenijem zapovijedam, ne ja nego Gospod, da se žena od muža ne razdvaja

But unto the married I give charge, [yea] not I, but the Lord, That the wife depart not from her husband

11 Ako li se pak i razdvoji, da se više ne udaje, ili da se pomiri sa svojijem mužem i muž da ne pušæa žene.

(but and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband); and that the husband leave not his wife.

12 A ostalima govorim ja a ne Gospod: ako koji brat ima ženu nekrštenu i ona se privoli življeti s njim, da je ne ostavlja.

But to the rest say I, not the Lord: If any brother hath an unbelieving wife, and she is content to dwell with him, let him not leave her.

13 I žena ako ima muža nekrštena i on se privoli življeti s njom, da ga ne ostavlja.

And the woman which hath an unbelieving husband, and he is content to dwell with her, let her not leave her husband.

14 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.

For the unbelieving husband is sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified in the brother: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.

15 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.

Yet if the unbelieving departeth, let him depart: the brother or the sister is not under bondage in such [cases]: but God hath called us in peace.

16 Jer šta znaš, ženo, da ako muža spaseš? ili šta znaš, mužu, da ako ženu spaseš?

For how knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O husband, whether thou shalt save thy wife?

17 Samo kao što je Bog razdijelio svakome, i kao što je svakoga pozvao Gospod onako neka živi. I tako zapovijedam po svijem crkvama.

Only, as the Lord hath distributed to each man, as God hath called each, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all the churches.

18 Je li ko pozvat obrezan, neka se ne gradi neobrezan; ako li je ko pozvat neobrezan, neka se ne obrezuje.

Was any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Hath any been called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised.

19 Obrezanje je ništa, i neobrezanje je ništa; nego držanje zapovijesti Božijeh.

Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing; but the keeping of the commandments of God.

20 Svaki neka ostane u onome zvanju u kome je pozvan.

Let each man abide in that calling wherein he was called.

21 Jesi li pozvan rob, ne brini se; nego ako i možeš svoj biti, još radije budi.

Wast thou called being a bondservant? care not for it: but if thou canst become free, use [it] rather.

22 Jer koji je pozvan u Gospodu rob, slobodnjak je Gospodnji, tako i koji je pozvan slobodnjak, rob je Hristov.

For he that was called in the Lord, being a bondservant, is the Lord’s freedman: likewise he that was called, being free, is Christ’s bondservant.

23 Kupljeni ste skupo, ne budite robovi ljudima.

Ye were bought with a price; become not bondservants of men.

24 Svaki, braæo, u èemu je ko pozvan u onome neka ostane pred Gospodom.

Brethren, let each man, wherein he was called, therein abide with God.

25 A za djevojke nemam zapovijesti Gospodnje, nego dajem svjet, kao koji sam pomilovan od Gospoda, da budem vjeran.

Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: but I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful.

26 Mislim dakle ovo da æe biti dobro za sadašnju nevolju da je èovjeku dobro tako biti.

I think therefore that this is good by reason of the present distress, [namely], that it is good for a man to be as he is.

27 Jesi li se privezao za ženu, ne traži da se razdriješiš; jesi li se odriješio od žene, ne traži žene.

Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.

28 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.

But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Yet such shall have tribulation in the flesh: and I would spare you.

29 A ovo govorim, braæo, jer je ostalo vrijeme prekraæeno, da æe i oni koji imaju žene biti kao oni koji nemaju;

But this I say, brethren, the time is shortened, that henceforth both those that have wives may be as though they had none;

30 I koji plaèu kao koji ne plaèu; i koji se raduju kao koji se ne raduju; i koji kupuju kao koji nemaju;

and those that weep, as though they wept not; and those that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and those that buy, as though they possessed not;

31 I koji ovaj svijet upotrebljavaju kao da ga ne upotrebljavaju: jer prolazi oblièje ovoga svijeta.

and those that use the world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away.

32 A ja hoæu da ste vi bezbrižni. Ko je neoženjen brine se za Gospodnje, kako æe ugoditi Gospodu;

But I would have you to be free from cares. He that is unmarried is careful for the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord:

33 A koji je oženjen brine se za svjetsko, kako æe ugoditi ženi. Drugo je žena, a drugo je djevojka.

but he that is married is careful for the things of the world, how he may please his wife.

34 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.

And there is a difference also between the wife and the virgin. She that is unmarried is careful for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married is careful for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.

35 A ovo govorim na korist vama samijem, ne da vam nametnem zamku na vrat, nego za lijepu i pristojnu službu Gospodu bez smetnje.

And this I say for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is seemly, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction.

36 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.

But if any man thinketh that he behaveth himself unseemly toward his virgin [daughter], if she be past the flower of her age, and if need so requireth, let him do what he will; he sinneth not; let them marry.

37 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.

But he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power as touching his own will, and hath determined this in his own heart, to keep his own virgin [daughter], shall do well.

38 Tako i onaj koji udaje svoju djevojku dobro èini; ali koji ne udaje bolje èini.

So then both he that giveth his own virgin [daughter] in marriage doeth well; and he that giveth her not in marriage shall do better.

39 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.

A wife is bound for so long time as her husband liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is free to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.

40 Ali je blaženija ako ostane tako po mojemu svjetu; jer mislim da i ja imam Duha Božijega.

But she is happier if she abide as she is, after my judgment: and I think that I also have the Spirit of God.
