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 to Jerusalem again, with Barnabas, taking Titus along as well.
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 on the basis of a revelation and set before them [the main apostles] the Gospel that I proclaim among the nations/Gentiles.—Now I did this privately to those with influence, lest somehow I might run, or had run, in vain.
3 Čak ni Tit, pratilac moj, premda Grk, nije bio prisiljen obrezati se,
However, not even Titus, who was with me, was compelled to be circumcised, for being 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 came up because of the false brothers who were smuggled in (who stole in to spy out our freedom, that we have in Christ Jesus, so as to reduce us to slavery),
5 Ne, ni načas im nismo popustili, nismo se podložili: da istina evanđelja ostane kod vas!
to whom we did not yield, even for a moment, so that the truth of the Gospel might continue 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.
Now from those who seemed to be important (whatever they were makes no difference to me; God shows favoritism to no man)—those with influence contributed nothing to me,
7 Nego naprotiv, vidjevši da mi je povjereno evanđelje za neobrezane, kao Petru za obrezane -
but on the contrary, upon seeing that I had been entrusted with the Gospel for the uncircumcised, just as was Peter for 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 He who was at work with Peter for the apostleship to the circumcised was also at work with me for that to the uncircumcised),
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 upon perceiving the grace that had been given to me, James and Cephas and John, those reputed to be pillars, gave me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the Gentiles, while they to the Jews.
10 Samo neka se sjećamo siromaha, što sam revno i činio.
They did ask us to keep remembering the poor, the very thing I also was eager to do.
11 A kad Kefa stiže u Antiohiju, u lice mu se usprotivih jer je zavrijedio osudu:
But, when Peter came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he was blameworthy.
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.
Before certain men came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles; but when they came he began to draw back and separate himself, fearing those of the circumcision party.
13 Za njim se povedoše i ostali Židovi te je i Barnaba zaveden tom prijetvornošću.
And the rest of the Jews played the hypocrite with him as well, so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy.
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?”
So when I saw that they were not walking straight according to the truth of the Gospel, I said to Peter in front of them all: “If you, being a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, why do you compel the Gentiles to live like Jews?
15 Mi smo podrijetlom Židovi, a ne “grešnici iz poganstva”.
We natural Jews (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.
knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ, we ourselves have believed into Christ Jesus, so as to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law; because no one will be justified by works of law.
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 seeking to be justified in Christ we ourselves were discovered to be sinners, then is Christ a minister of sin? Of course not!
18 Doista, ako ponovno gradim što sam bio srušio, pokazujem da sam prijestupnik.
“Now if I rebuild the things that I destroyed, I acknowledge that I am a transgressor.
19 Ta po Zakonu ja Zakonu umrijeh da Bogu živim. S Kristom sam razapet.
For through the law I died to the law in order to 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, so it is no longer I who live but Christ lives in me; what I now live in this body I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself in my place.
21 Ne dokidam milosti Božje! Doista, ako je opravdanje po Zakonu, onda je Krist uzalud umro.
I do not nullify the grace of God; for if righteousness is through the law, then Christ died for nothing!”
