1 Solunjanima 4
1 Dalje, braæo, molimo vas i svjetujemo u Hristu Isusu, kao što primiste od nas, kako vam treba življeti i ugaðati Bogu, kao što živite, da bivate sve izobilniji.
For the rest, brethren, we request and exhort you, in our Lord Jesus, [that], even as ye received from us, how ye must needs walk and please God, —even as ye also do walk, that ye would abound still more.
2 Jer znate kakve vam zapovijesti dadosmo kroz Gospoda Isusa.
For ye know what charges we gave you, through the Lord Jesus.
3 Jer je ovo volja Božija, svetost vaša, da se èuvate od kurvarstva,
For, this, is a thing willed of God, your sanctification, —that ye should abstain from unchastity,
4 I svaki od vas da zna držati svoj sud u svetinji i u èasti,
That ye should know, each one of you, how, of his own vessel, to possess himself in sanctification and honour:
5 A ne u slasti želja, kao i neznabošci, koji ne poznaju Boga;
Not with a passion of coveting, —just as even the nations who know not God, —
6 I da ne prestupate i zakidate u stvari brata svojega; jer æe Gospod pokajati sve to, kao što vam i prije kazasmo i posvjedoèismo.
Not over-reaching and defrauding, in the matter, his brother; because, an avenger, is the Lord, concerning all these things, —even as we before told you, and solemnly called you to witness.
7 Jer Bog nas ne dozva na neèistotu, nego u svetost.
For God did not call us, with a permission of impurity, but, in sanctification.
8 Koji dakle odbacuje, ne odbacuje èovjeka nego Boga, koji je dao svetoga Duha svojega u vas.
Therefore, indeed, he that disregardeth—it is, not a man, he disregardeth, but God, —Who giveth his Holy Spirit unto you.
9 A za bratoljublje ne trebujete da vam se piše, jer ste sami od Boga nauèeni da se ljubite meðu sobom,
But, concerning brotherly love—no need, have ye, that we be writing unto you; for, ye yourselves, are, God-taught, to the loving of one another; —
10 Jer to èinite sa svom braæom po cijeloj Maæedoniji. Ali vas molimo, braæo, da još izobilnije èinite,
And, in fact, ye are doing it unto all the brethren [who are] in the whole of Macedonia; but we exhort you, brethren, to abound still more,
11 I da se ljubazno starate da ste mirni, i da gledate svoj posao, i da radite svojijem rukama, kao što vam zapovjedismo;
And to be ambitious to be quiet, and to be attending to your own affairs, and to be working with your hands, —even as, unto you, we gave charge—
12 Da se vladate pošteno prema onima što su napolju, i da od njih ništa ne potrebujete.
That ye should walk reputably toward those without, and, of no one, have, need.
13 Neæu vam pak zatajiti, braæo, za one koji su umrli, da ne žalite kao i ostali koji nemaju nada.
But we do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them who are falling asleep, —lest ye be sorrowing, even as the rest also, who are without hope;
14 Jer ako vjerujemo da Isus umrije i vaskrse, tako æe Bog i one koji su umrli u Isusu dovesti s njim.
For, if we believe that, Jesus, died, and rose again, so, also will, God, bring forth with him, them who have fallen asleep through Jesus;
15 Jer vam ovo kazujemo rijeèju Gospodnjom da mi koji živimo i ostanemo za dolazak Gospodnji, neæemo preteæi onijeh koji su pomrli.
For, this, unto you, do we say, by a word of the Lord, —that, we, the living who are left unto the Presence of the Lord, shall in nowise get before them who have fallen asleep;
16 Jer æe sam Gospod sa zapoviješæu, s glasom aranðelovijem, i s trubom Božijom siæi s neba; i mrtvi u Hristu vaskrsnuæe najprije;
Because, the Lord himself, with a word of command, with a chief-messenger’s voice, and with a trumpet of God, shall descend from heaven, —and, the dead in Christ, shall rise, first,
17 A potom mi živi koji smo ostali, zajedno s njima biæemo uzeti u oblake na susret Gospodu na nebo, i tako æemo svagda s Gospodom biti.
After that, we, the living who are left, together with them, shall be caught away, in clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: —and, thus, evermore, with the Lord, shall we be!
18 Tako utješavajte jedan drugoga ovijem rijeèima.
So then, be consoling one another with these words.
