Poslanica Kološanima 3

Biblija Hrvatski	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Ako ste suuskrsli s Kristom, tražite što je gore, gdje Krist sjedi zdesna Bogu!	1 Since you have been raised up to be with Christ, you must look for the things that are above, whereChrist is, sitting at God's right hand.
2 Za onim gore težite, ne za zemaljskim!	2 Let your thoughts be on things above, not on the things that are on the earth,
3 Ta umrijeste i život je vaš skriven s Kristom u Bogu!	3 because you have died, and now the life you have is hidden with Christ in God.
4 Kad se pojavi Krist, život vaš, tada ćete se i vi s njime pojaviti u slavi.	4 But when Christ is revealed -- and he is your life-you, too, wil be revealed with him in glory.
5 Umrtvite dakle udove svoje zemaljske: bludnost, nečistoću, strasti, zlu požudu i pohlepu – to idolopoklonstvo!	5 That is why you must kill everything in you that is earthly: sexual vice, impurity, uncontrol ed passion,evil desires and especially greed, which is the same thing as worshipping a false god;
6 Zbog toga dolazi gnjev Božji na sinove neposlušne.	6 it is precisely these things which draw God's retribution upon those who resist.
7 Tim ste putom i vi nekoć hodili, kad ste u tome živjeli.	7 And these things made up your way of life when you were living among such people,
8 Ali sada i vi odložite sve! Gnjev, srdžba, opakost, hula, prostota van iz vaših usta!	8 but now you also must give up al these things: human anger, hot temper, malice, abusive language anddirty talk;
9 Ne varajte jedni druge! Jer svukoste staroga čovjeka s njegovim djelima	9 and do not lie to each other. You have stripped off your old behaviour with your old self,
10 i obukoste novoga, koji se obnavlja za spoznanje po slici svoga Stvoritelja!	10 and you have put on a new self which will progress towards true knowledge the more it is renewed inthe image of its Creator;
11 Tu više nema: Grk – Židov, obrezanje – neobrezanje, barbar – skit, rob – slobodnjak, nego sve i u svima – Krist.	11 and in that image there is no room for distinction between Greek and Jew, between the circumcisedand uncircumcised, or between barbarian and Scythian, slave and free. There is only Christ: he is everythingand he is in everything.
12 Zaodjenite se dakle – kao izabranici Božji, sveti i ljubljeni – u milosrdno srce, dobrostivost, poniznost, blagost, strpljivost	12 As the chosen of God, then, the holy people whom he loves, you are to be clothed in heartfeltcompassion, in generosity and humility, gentleness and patience.
13 te podnosite jedni druge praštajući ako tko ima protiv koga kakvu pritužbu! Kao što je Gospodin vama oprostio, tako i vi!	13 Bear with one another; forgive each other if one of you has a complaint against another. The Lord hasforgiven you; now you must do the same.
14 A povrh svega – ljubav! To je sveza savršenstva.	14 Over al these clothes, put on love, the perfect bond.
15 I mir Kristov neka upravlja srcima vašim – mir na koji ste pozvani u jednom tijelu! I zahvalni budite!	15 And may the peace of Christ reign in your hearts, because it is for this that you were cal ed together inone body. Always be thankful.
16 Riječ Kristova neka u svem bogatstvu prebiva u vama! U svakoj se mudrosti poučavajte i urazumljujte! Psalmima, hvalospjevima, pjesmama duhovnim od srca pjevajte hvalu Bogu!	16 Let the Word of Christ, in al its richness, find a home with you. Teach each other, and advise eachother, in al wisdom. With gratitude in your hearts sing psalms and hymns and inspired songs to God;
17 I sve što god riječju ili djelom činite, sve činite u imenu Gospodina Isusa, zahvaljujući Bogu Ocu po njemu!	17 and whatever you say or do, let it be in the name of the Lord Jesus, in thanksgiving to God the Fatherthrough him.
18 Žene, pokoravajte se svojim muževima kao što dolikuje u Gospodinu!	18 Wives, be subject to your husbands, as you should in the Lord.
19 Muževi, ljubite svoje žene i ne budite osorni prema njima.	19 Husbands, love your wives and do not be sharp with them.
20 Djeco, slušajte roditelje u svemu, ta to je milo u Gospodinu!	20 Children, be obedient to your parents always, because that is what will please the Lord.
21 Očevi, ne ogorčujte svoje djece da ne klonu duhom.	21 Parents, do not irritate your children or they will lose heart.
22 Robovi, slušajte u svemu svoje zemaljske gospodare! Ne naoko, kao oni koji se ulaguju ljudima, nego u jednostavnosti srca, bojeći se Gospodina.	22 Slaves, be obedient in every way to the people who, according to human reckoning, are your masters;not only when you are under their eye, as if you had only to please human beings, but wholeheartedly, out ofrespect for the Master.
23 Što god radite, zdušno činite, kao Gospodinu, a ne ljudima,	23 Whatever your work is, put your heart into it as done for the Lord and not for human beings,
24 znajući da ćete od Gospodina primiti nagradu, baštinu. Gospodinu Kristu služite.	24 knowing that the Lord wil repay you by making you his heirs. It is Christ the Lord that you are serving.
25 Doista, nepravedniku će se uzvratiti što je nepravedno učinio. Ne, nema pristranosti!	25 Anyone who does wrong wil be repaid in kind. For there is no favouritism.
