Galačanima 2
1 Zatim nakon četrnaest godina opet uziđoh u Jeruzalem s Barnabom, a povedoh sa sobom i Tita.
Then after the space of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus with me.
2 Uziđoh po objavi i izložih im - napose uglednijima - evanđelje koje propovijedam među poganima da ne bih možda, ili da nisam, trčao uzalud.
And I went up by revelation; and I put before them the good news which I was preaching among the Gentiles, but privately before those who were of good name, so that the work which I was or had been doing might not be without effect.
3 Čak ni Tit, pratilac moj, premda Grk, nije bio prisiljen obrezati se,
But not even Titus who was with me, being a Greek, was made to undergo circumcision:
4 i to radi uljeza, lažne braće, koja se ušuljaše da vrebaju slobodu koju imamo u Kristu Isusu, ne bi li nas učinili robovima.
And that because of the false brothers let in secretly, who came searching out our free condition which we have in Christ Jesus, so that they might make servants of us;
5 Ne, ni načas im nismo popustili, nismo se podložili: da istina evanđelja ostane kod vas!
To whom we gave way not even for an hour; so that the true words of the good news might still be 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 from those who seemed to be important (whatever they were has no weight with me: God does not take man's person into account): those who seemed to be important gave nothing new to me;
7 Nego naprotiv, vidjevši da mi je povjereno evanđelje za neobrezane, kao Petru za obrezane -
But, quite the opposite, when they saw that I had been made responsible for preaching the good news to those without circumcision, even as Peter had been for those of the circumcision
8 jer Onaj koji je bio na djelu po Petrovu apostolstvu među obrezanima, bio je na djelu i po meni među poganima -
(Because he who was working in Peter as the Apostle of the circumcision was working no less in me among 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!
When they saw the grace which was given to me, James and Cephas and John, who had the name of being pillars, gave to me and Barnabas their right hands as friends so that we might go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcision;
10 Samo neka se sjećamo siromaha, što sam revno i činio.
Only it was their desire that we would give thought to the poor; which very thing I had much in mind to do.
11 A kad Kefa stiže u Antiohiju, u lice mu se usprotivih jer je zavrijedio osudu:
But when Cephas came to Antioch, I made a protest against him to his face, because he was clearly in the wrong.
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 did take food with the Gentiles: but when they came, he went back and made himself separate, fearing those who were of the circumcision.
13 Za njim se povedoše i ostali Židovi te je i Barnaba zaveden tom prijetvornošću.
And the rest of the Jews went after him, so that even Barnabas was overcome by their false ways.
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?”
But when I saw that they were not living uprightly in agreement with the true words of the good news, I said to Cephas before them all, If you, being a Jew, are living like the Gentiles, and not like the Jews, how will you make the Gentiles do the same as the Jews?
15 Mi smo podrijetlom Židovi, a ne “grešnici iz poganstva”.
We being Jews by birth, and not sinners of the Gentiles,
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.
Being conscious that a man does not get righteousness by the works of the law, but through faith in Jesus Christ, we had faith in Christ Jesus, so that we might get righteousness by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law: because by the works of the law will no flesh get righteousness.
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 were desiring to get righteousness through Christ, we ourselves were seen to be sinners, is Christ a servant of sin? In no way!
18 Doista, ako ponovno gradim što sam bio srušio, pokazujem da sam prijestupnik.
For if I put up again those things which I gave to destruction, I am seen to be a wrongdoer.
19 Ta po Zakonu ja Zakonu umrijeh da Bogu živim. S Kristom sam razapet.
For I, through the law, have become dead to the law, so that I might be living 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 put to death on the cross with Christ; still I am living; no longer I, but Christ is living in me; and that life which I now am living in the flesh I am living by faith, the faith of the Son of God, who in love for me, gave himself up for me.
21 Ne dokidam milosti Božje! Doista, ako je opravdanje po Zakonu, onda je Krist uzalud umro.
I do not make the grace of God of no effect: because if righteousness is through the law, then Christ was put to death for nothing.
