Galačanima 2
1 Zatim nakon četrnaest godina opet uziđoh u Jeruzalem s Barnabom, a povedoh sa sobom i Tita.
Fourteen years later I went up again to Jerusalem, accompanied by Barnabas. I took Titus along also.
2 Uziđoh po objavi i izložih im - napose uglednijima - evanđelje koje propovijedam među poganima da ne bih možda, ili da nisam, trčao uzalud.
I went in response to a revelation and set before them the gospel that I preach among the Gentiles. But I spoke privately to those recognized as leaders, for fear that I was running or had already run in vain.
3 Čak ni Tit, pratilac moj, premda Grk, nije bio prisiljen obrezati se,
Yet not even Titus, who was with me, was compelled to be circumcised, even though he was a Greek.
4 i to radi uljeza, lažne braće, koja se ušuljaše da vrebaju slobodu koju imamo u Kristu Isusu, ne bi li nas učinili robovima.
This issue arose because some false brothers had come in under false pretenses to spy on our freedom in Christ Jesus, in order to enslave us.
5 Ne, ni načas im nismo popustili, nismo se podložili: da istina evanđelja ostane kod vas!
We did not give in to them for a moment, so that the truth of the gospel would remain with you.
6 A oni koji štogod znače - bili oni što bili, nije mi do toga, Bog ne gleda tko je tko - ti uglednici, uistinu, ništa nisu pridometnuli.
But as for the highly esteemed—whatever they were makes no difference to me; God does not show favoritism —those leaders added nothing to me.
7 Nego naprotiv, vidjevši da mi je povjereno evanđelje za neobrezane, kao Petru za obrezane -
On the contrary, they saw that I had been entrusted to preach the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been to the circumcised.
8 jer Onaj koji je bio na djelu po Petrovu apostolstvu među obrezanima, bio je na djelu i po meni među poganima -
For the One who was at work in Peter’s apostleship to the circumcised was also at work in my apostleship to the Gentiles.
9 i spoznavši milost koja mi je dana, Jakov, Kefa i Ivan, smatrani stupovima, pružiše meni i Barnabi desnice zajedništva: mi ćemo među pogane, a oni među obrezane!
And recognizing the grace that I had been given, James, Cephas, and John—those reputed to be pillars—gave me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, so that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcised.
10 Samo neka se sjećamo siromaha, što sam revno i činio.
They only asked us to remember the poor, the very thing I was eager to do.
11 A kad Kefa stiže u Antiohiju, u lice mu se usprotivih jer je zavrijedio osudu:
When Cephas came to Antioch, however, I opposed him to his face, because he stood to be condemned.
12 doista, prije nego stigoše neki od Jakova, blagovao je zajedno s poganima; a kad oni dođoše, počeo se povlačiti i odvajati bojeći se onih iz obrezanja.
For before certain men came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles. But when they arrived, he began to draw back and separate himself, for fear of those in the circumcision group.
13 Za njim se povedoše i ostali Židovi te je i Barnaba zaveden tom prijetvornošću.
The other Jews joined him in his hypocrisy, so that by their hypocrisy even Barnabas was led astray.
14 Ali kad vidjeh da ne hode ravno, po istini evanđelja, rekoh Kefi pred svima: “Ako ti, Židov, poganski živiš, a ne židovski, kako možeš siliti pogane da se požidove?”
When I saw that they were not walking in line with the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas in front of them all, “If you, who are a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you compel the Gentiles to live like Jews?”
15 Mi smo podrijetlom Židovi, a ne “grešnici iz poganstva”.
We who are Jews by birth and not Gentile “sinners”
16 Ali znamo: čovjek se ne opravdava po djelima Zakona, nego vjerom u Isusa Krista. Zato i mi u Krista Isusa povjerovasmo da se opravdamo po vjeri u Krista, a ne po djelima Zakona jer se po djelima Zakona nitko neće opravdati.
know that a man is not justified by works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have believed in Christ Jesus, that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.
17 Ako se pak po tome što zaiskasmo opravdati se u Kristu očitovalo da smo i mi grešnici, nije li onda Krist u službi grijeha? Nipošto!
But if, while we seek to be justified in Christ, we ourselves are found to be sinners, does that make Christ a minister of sin? Certainly not!
18 Doista, ako ponovno gradim što sam bio srušio, pokazujem da sam prijestupnik.
If I rebuild what I have already torn down, I prove myself to be a lawbreaker.
19 Ta po Zakonu ja Zakonu umrijeh da Bogu živim. S Kristom sam razapet.
For through the law I died to the law so that I might live to God.
20 Živim, ali ne više ja, nego živi u meni Krist. A što sada živim u tijelu, u vjeri živim u Sina Božjega koji me ljubio i predao samoga sebe za mene.
I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.
21 Ne dokidam milosti Božje! Doista, ako je opravdanje po Zakonu, onda je Krist uzalud umro.
I do not set aside the grace of God. For if righteousness comes through the law, Christ died for nothing.
