II Timothy 3

A ovo znaj: u posljednjim danima nastat će teška vremena.

This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

Ljudi će doista biti sebeljupci, srebroljupci, preuzetnici, oholice, hulitelji, roditeljima neposlušni, nezahvalnici, bezbožnici,

For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

bešćutnici, nepomirljivci, klevetnici, neobuzdanici, goropadnici, neljubitelji dobra,

Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

izdajice, brzopletnici, naduti, ljubitelji užitka više nego ljubitelji Boga.

Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

Imaju obličje pobožnosti, ali snage su se njezine odrekli. I njih se kloni!

Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

Od njih su doista oni što se uvlače u kuće i zarobljuju ženice, natovarene grijesima, vodane najrazličitijim strastima:

For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,

one uvijek uče, a nikako ne mogu doći do spoznaje istine.

Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

Kao što se Janes i Jambres suprotstaviše Mojsiju, tako se i ovi, ljudi pokvarena uma, u vjeri neprokušani, suprotstavljaju istini.

Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.

Ali neće više napredovati jer bezumlje će ovih postati očito, kako se to i onima dogodilo.

But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.

A ti si pošao za nmom u poučavanju, u ponašanju, u naumu, u vjeri, u strpljivosti, u ljubavi, u postojanosti;

But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,

u progonstvima, u patnjama koje su me zadesile u Antiohiji, u Ikoniju, u Listri. Kakva li sam progonstva podnio! I iz svih me izbavio Gospodin!

Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.

A i svi koji hoće živjeti pobožno u Kristu Isusu, bit će progonjeni.

Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.

Zli pak ljudi i vračari napredovat će sve više u zlu - kao zavodnici i zavedeni.

But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

Ti, naprotiv, ostani u onome u čemu si poučen i čemu si vjeru dao, svjestan od koga si sve poučen

But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;

i da od malena poznaješ Sveta pisma koja su vrsna učiniti te mudrim tebi na spasenje po vjeri, vjeri u Kristu Isusu.

And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

Sve Pismo, bogoduho, korisno je za poučavanje, uvjeravanje, popravljanje, odgajanje u pravednosti,

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

da čovjek Božji bude vrstan, za svako dobro djelo podoban.

That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
