1 Timothy, 2

1. And so I beg you, first of all, to make supplications, prayers, petitions, and thanksgivings for all men,

1. Dakle, preporuèujem prije svega da se obavljaju prošnje, molitve, molbenice i zahvalnice za sve ljude,

2. for kings, and for all who are in high places, so that we may lead a quiet and tranquil life in all piety and chastity.

2. za kraljeve i sve koji su na vlasti, da provodimo miran i spokojan život u svoj bogoljubnosti i ozbiljnosti.

3. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,

3. To je dobro i ugodno pred Spasiteljem našim Bogom,

4. who wants all men to be saved and to arrive at an acknowledgment of the truth.

4. koji hoæe da se svi ljudi spase i doðu do spoznanja istine.

5. For there is one God, and one mediator of God and of men, the man Christ Jesus,

5. Jer jedan je Bog, jedan je i posrednik izmeðu Boga i ljudi, èovjek - Krist Isus,

6. who gave himself as a redemption for all, as a testimony in its proper time.

6. koji sebe samoga dade kao otkup za sve. To je u svoje vrijeme dano svjedoèanstvo,

7. Of this testimony, I have been appointed a preacher and an Apostle, (I speak the truth, I do not lie) as a teacher of the Gentiles, in faith and in truth.

7. za koje sam ja postavljen propovjednikom i apostolom - istinu govorim, ne lažem - uèiteljem naroda u vjeri i istini.

8. Therefore, I want men to pray in every place, lifting up pure hands, without anger or dissension.

8. Hoæu dakle da muškarci mole na svakome mjestu, podižuæi èiste ruke bez srdžbe i raspre;

9. Similarly also, women should be dressed fittingly, adorning themselves with compunction and restraint, and not with plaited hair, nor gold, nor pearls, nor costly attire,

9. isto tako žene - u doliènu držanju: neka se rese stidljivošæu i razborom, ne pletenicama i zlatom ili biserjem ili skupocjenim odijelom,

10. but in a manner proper for women who are professing piety by means of good works.

10. nego - dobrim djelima, kako dolikuje ženama koje ispovijedaju bogoljubnost.

11. Let a woman learn in silence with all subjection.

11. Žena neka u miru prima pouku sa svom podložnošæu.

12. For I do not permit a woman to teach, nor to be in authority over a man, but to be in silence.

12. Pouèavati pak ženi ne dopuštam, ni vladati nad mužem, nego - neka bude na miru.

13. For Adam was formed first, then Eve.

13. Jer prvi je oblikovan Adam, onda Eva;

14. And Adam was not seduced, but the woman, having been seduced, was in transgression.

14. i Adam nije zaveden, a žena je, zavedena, uèinila prekršaj.

15. Yet she will be saved by bearing children, if she has continued in faith and love, and in sanctification accompanied by self-restraint.

15. A spasit æe se raðanjem djece ako ustraje u vjeri, ljubavi i posveæivanju, s razborom.
