I Timothy 6

Koji su pod jarmom, robovi, neka svoje gospodare smatraju svake časti dostojnima da se ne bi pogrđivalo ime Božje i nauk.

Let as many servants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honour, that the name of God and his doctrine be not blasphemed.

A oni kojima su gospodari vjernici, neka ih ne cijene manje zato što su braća, nego neka im još više služe jer ti koji primaju njihovo dobročinstvo vjernici su i ljubljena braća. To naučavaj i preporučuj!

And they that have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brethren; but rather do them service, because they are faithful and beloved, partakers of the benefit. These things teach and exhort.

A tko drukčije naučava i ne prianja uza zdrave riječi, riječi Gospodina našega Isusa Krista, i nauk u skladu s pobožnošću,

If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;

nadut je, puka neznalica, samo boluje od raspra i rječoborstava, od kojih nastaje zavist, svađa, pogrde, zla sumnjičenja,

He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,

razračunavanja ljudi pokvarene pameti i lišenih istine, što pobožnost smatraju dobitkom.

Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.

Pa i jest dobitak velik pobožnost, zadovoljna onim što ima!

But godliness with contentment is great gain.

Ta ništa nismo donijeli na svijet te iz njega ništa ni iznijeti ne možemo!

For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.

Imamo li dakle hranu i odjeću, zadovoljimo se time.

And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.

Jer oni koji se hoće bogatiti, upadaju u napast, zamku i mnoge nerazumne i štetne požude što ljude strovaljuju u zator i propast.

But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.

Zaista, korijen svih zala jest srebroljublje; njemu odani, mnogi odlutaše od vjere i sami sebe isprobadaše mukama mnogima.

For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

A ti se, Božji čovječe, toga kloni! Teži za pravednošću, pobožnošću, vjerom, ljubavlju, postojanošću, krotkošću!

But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

Bij dobar boj vjere, osvoji vječni život na koji si pozvan i radi kojega si dao ono lijepo svjedočanstvo pred mnogim svjedocima!

Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.

Zapovijedam pred Bogom koji svemu život daje i pred Kristom Isusom koji pred Poncijem Pilatom posvjedoči lijepo svjedočanstvo:

I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession;

čuvaj Zapovijed, neokaljano i besprijekorno, do Pojavka Gospodina našega Isusa Krista.

That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:

Njega će u svoje vrijeme pokazati On, Blaženi i jedini Vladar, Kralj kraljeva i Gospodar gospodara,

Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;

koji jedini ima besmrtnost, prebiva u svjetlu nedostupnu, koga nitko od ljudi ne vidje niti ga vidjeti može. Njemu čast i vlast vjekovječna! Amen.

Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.

Onima koji su u sadašnjem svijetu bogati zapovijedaj neka ne budu bahati i neka se ne uzdaju u nesigurno bogatstvo, nego u Boga koji nam sve bogato daje na uživanje;

Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;

neka dobro čine, neka se bogate dobrim djelima, neka budu darežljivi, zajedničari -

That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate;

prikupljajući sebi lijepu glavnicu za budućnost da osvoje onaj pravi život.

Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.

Timoteju, poklad čuvaj kloneći se svjetovnoga praznoglasja i proturječja nekog nazovispoznanja,

O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:

koje su neki ispovijedali pa od vjere zastranili. Milost s vama

Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen. The first to Timothy was written from Laodicea, which is the chiefest city of Phrygia Pacatiana.
