Prva poslanica Solunjanima 5

Biblija Hrvatski	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 A o vremenima i trenucima nije, braćo, potrebno pisati vam.	1 Concerning times and seasons, brothers, you have no need for anything to be written to you.
2 Ta i sami dobro znate da Dan Gospodnji dolazi baš kao kradljivac u noći.	2 For you yourselves know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief at night.
3 Dok još budu govorili: »Mir i sigurnost«, zadesit će ih iznenadna propast kao trudovi trudnicu i neće umaći.	3 When people are saying, "Peace and security," then sudden disaster comes upon them, like labor pains upon a pregnant woman,and they will not escape.
4 Ali vi, braćo, niste u tami, da bi vas Dan mogao zaskočiti kao kradljivac:	4 But you, brothers, are not in darkness, for that day to overtake you like a thief.
5 ta svi ste vi sinovi svjetlosti i sinovi dana. Nismo doista od noći ni od tame.	5 For all of you are children of the light and children of the day. We are not of the night or of darkness.
6 Onda i ne spavajmo kao ostali, nego bdijmo i trijezni budimo.	6 Therefore, let us not sleep as the rest do, but let us stay alert and sober.
7 Jer koji spavaju, noću spavaju; i koji se opijaju, noću se opijaju.	7 Those who sleep go to sleep at night, and those who are drunk get drunk at night.
8 A mi koji smo od dana, budimo trijezni, obucimo oklop vjere i ljubavi i stavimo kacigu, nadu spasenja!	8 But since we are of the day, let us be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love and the helmet that is hope for salvation.
9 Ta Bog nas nije odredio za gnjev, nego da imamo spasenje po Gospodinu našem Isusu Kristu,	9 For God did not destine us for wrath, but to gain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,
10 koji je za nas umro da – bdjeli ili spavali – zajedno s njime živimo.	10 who died for us, so that whether we are awake or asleep we may live together with him.
11 Zato, tješite se uzajamno i izgrađujte jedan drugoga, kako i činite.	11 Therefore, encourage one another and build one another up, as indeed you do.
12 Molimo vas, braćo: priznajte one koji se trude među vama, koji su vam predstojnici u Gospodinu i opominju vas;	12 We ask you, brothers, to respect those who are laboring among you and who are over you in the Lord and who admonish you,
13 s ljubavlju ih nadasve cijenite poradi njihova djela! Gajite mir među sobom!	13 and to show esteem for them with special love on account of their work. Be at peace among yourselves.
14 Potičemo vas, braćo: opominjite neuredne, sokolite malodušne, podržavajte slabe, budite velikodušni prema svima!	14 We urge you, brothers, admonish the idle, cheer the fainthearted, support the weak, be patient with all.
15 Pazite da tko komu zlo zlom ne uzvrati, nego uvijek promičite dobro jedni prema drugima i prema svima.	15 See that no one returns evil for evil; rather, always seek what is good (both) for each other and for all.
16 Uvijek se radujte!	16 Rejoice always.
17 Bez prestanka se molite!	17 Pray without ceasing.
18 U svemu zahvaljujte! Jer to je za vas volja Božja u Kristu Isusu.	18 In all circumstances give thanks, for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus.
19 Duha ne trnite,	19 Do not quench the Spirit.
20 proroštava ne prezirite!	20 Do not despise prophetic utterances.
21 Sve provjeravajte: dobro zadržite,	21 Test everything; retain what is good.
22 svake se sjene zla klonite!	22 Refrain from every kind of evil.
23 A sam Bog mira neka vas posvema posveti i cijelo vaše biće – duh vaš i duša i tijelo – neka se besprijekornim, savršenim sačuva za dolazak Gospodina našega Isusa Krista.	23 May the God of peace himself make you perfectly holy and may you entirely, spirit, soul, and body, be preserved blameless for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
24 Vjeran je Onaj tko vas poziva: on će to i učiniti.	24 The one who calls you is faithful, and he will also accomplish it.
25 Braćo, molite i za nas!	25 Brothers, pray for us (too).
26 Pozdravite svu braću cjelovom svetim.	26 Greet all the brothers with a holy kiss.
27 Zaklinjem vas u Gospodinu: neka se ova poslanica pročita svoj braći.	27 I adjure you by the Lord that this letter be read to all the brothers.
28 Milost Gospodina našega Isusa Krista s vama!	28 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
