1 Timoteju 4
1 A Duh razgovijetno govori da æe u pošljednja vremena otstupiti neki od vjere slušajuæi lažne duhove i nauke ðavolske,
NOW the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
2 U licemjerju laža, žigosanijeh na svojoj savjesti,
Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
3 Koji zabranjuju ženiti se, i zapovijedaju uzdržavati se od jela koja Bog stvori za jelo sa zahvalnošæu vjernima i onima koji poznaše istinu.
Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
4 Jer je svako stvorenje Božije dobro i ništa nije na odmet kad se prima sa zahvalnošæu.
For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:
5 Jer se osveæuje rijeèju Božijom i molitvom.
For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
6 Ovo sve kazujuæi braæi biæeš dobar sluga Isusa Hrista, odgajen rijeèima vjere i dobrom naukom koju si primio.
If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.
7 A poganijeh i bapskijeh gatalica kloni se; a obuèavaj se u pobožnosti.
But refuse profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness.
8 Jer tjelesno obuèavanje malo je korisno, a pobožnost je korisna za svašto, imajuæi obeæanje života sadašnjega i onoga koji ide.
For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.
9 Ovo je istinita rijeè i dostojna svakoga primanja.
This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation.
10 Jer se zato i trudimo i bivamo sramotni, jer se uzdamo u Boga živa, koji je spasitelj svima ljudima, a osobito vjernima.
For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.
11 Ovo zapovijedaj i uèi.
These things command and teach.
12 Niko da ne postane nemarljiv za tvoju mladost; nego budi ugled vjernima u rijeèi, u življenju, u ljubavi, u duhu, u vjeri, u èistoti.
Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.
13 Dokle doðem pazi na èitanje, utješavanje i uèenje.
Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.
14 Ne pusti u nemar dar u sebi koji ti je dan po proroštvu metnuvši starješine ruke na tebe.
Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.
15 U ovom se pouèavaj, u ovom stoj, da se napredak tvoj pokaže u svemu.
Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.
16 Pazi na sebe i na nauku, i stoj u tome; jer ovo èineæi spašæeš i samoga sebe i one koji te slušaju.
Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.
