1 Korinæanima 7

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

Now concerning the things of which ye wrote to me: [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;

Nevertheless, [to avoid] lewdness, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.

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

Let the husband render to the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife to 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 of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of 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 with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan may not tempt you for your incontinence.

6 Ali ovo govorim po svjetu a ne po zapovijesti;

But I speak this by permission, [and] not as a commandment.

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

For I would that all men were as I myself. But every man hath his proper 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.

I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they remain 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 cannot contain, 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

And to the married I command, [yet] not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart 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 if she shall depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to [her] husband: and let not the husband put away [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 I speak, not the Lord, if any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she is pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.

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

And the woman who hath a husband that believeth not, and if he is pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.

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 by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: 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.

But if the unbelieving departeth, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such [cases]; but God hath called us to 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 man, 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.

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

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

Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not become 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 every man continue in the same calling in which he was called.

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

Art thou called [being] a servant? care not for it; but if thou mayest be made 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 is called in the Lord, [being] a servant, is the Lord's free-man: likewise also he that is called, [being] free, is Christ's servant.

23 Kupljeni ste skupo, ne budite robovi ljudima.

Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.

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

Brethren, let every man in the state in which he is called, continue in it 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: yet I give my judgment as one that hath obtained mercy from the Lord to be faithful.

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

I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, [I say], that [it is] good for a man so to be.

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

Art thou bound to 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 if thou marry, thou hast not sinned: and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless, such will have trouble in the flesh; but I 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] short. It remaineth, that both they that have wives, 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 they that weep, as though they wept not; and they that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and they that buy, as though they possessed not;

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

And they that use this 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 without anxious care. He that is unmarried, is anxious for the things that belong to 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 anxious for the things that are 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.

There is a difference [also] between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman is anxious for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy, both in body and in spirit: but she that is married, is anxious 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 speak for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is comely, 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 uncomely towards his virgin, if she hath passed the flower of [her] age, and 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.

Nevertheless, he that standeth steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power over his own will, and hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin, doeth well.

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

So then he that giveth [her] in marriage doeth well; but he that giveth [her] not in marriage doeth 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.

The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband is dead, she is at liberty 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 so remain, after my judgment; and I think also that I have the Spirit of God.
