Rimljanima 1
1 Pavao, sluga Krista Isusa, pozvan za apostola, odlučen za evanđelje Božje -
Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, and set apart for the gospel of God—
2 koje Bog unaprijed obećavaše po svojim prorocima u Pismima svetim
the gospel He promised beforehand through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures,
3 o Sinu svome, potomku Davidovu po tijelu,
regarding His Son, who was a descendant of David according to the flesh,
4 postavljenu Sinom Božjim, u snazi, po Duhu posvetitelju uskrsnućem od mrtvih, o Isusu Kristu, Gospodinu našemu,
and who through the Spirit of holiness was declared with power to be the Son of God by His resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord.
5 po komu primismo milost i apostolstvo da na slavu imena njegova k poslušnosti vjere privodimo sve pogane
Through Him and on behalf of His name, we received grace and apostleship to call all those among the Gentiles to the obedience that comes from faith.
6 među kojima ste i vi pozvanici Isusa Krista:
And you also are among those who are called to belong to Jesus Christ.
7 svima u Rimu, miljenicima Božjim, pozvanicima, svetima. Milost vam i mir od Boga, Oca našega, i Gospodina Isusa Krista.
To all in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints: Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
8 Ponajprije zahvaljujem Bogu mojemu po Isusu Kristu za sve vas: što se vaša vjera navješćuje po svem svijetu.
First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is being proclaimed all over the world.
9 Doista, svjedok mi je Bog - komu duhom svojim služim u evanđelju Sina njegova - da vas se
God, whom I serve with my spirit in preaching the gospel of His Son, is my witness how constantly I remember you
10 u svojim molitvama neprekidno spominjem i uvijek molim ne bi li mi se već jednom s voljom Božjom nekako posrećilo doći k vama.
in my prayers at all times, asking that now at last by God’s will I may succeed in coming to you.
11 Jer čeznem vidjeti vas da vam predam nešto dara duhovnoga te se ojačate, zapravo -
For I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you,
12 da se zajedno s vama ohrabrim zajedničkom vjerom, vašom i mojom.
that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith.
13 A ne bih htio, braćo, da ne znate: često sam bio nakanio doći k vama - i sve dosad bio spriječen - da i među vama uberem koji plod kao i među drugim narodima.
I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, how often I planned to come to you (but have been prevented from visiting until now), in order that I might have a harvest among you, just as I have had among the other Gentiles.
14 Dužnik sam Grcima i barbarima, mudracima i neznalicama.
I am obligated both to Greeks and non-Greeks, both to the wise and the foolish.
15 Odatle moja nakana da i vama u Rimu navijestim evanđelje.
That is why I am so eager to preach the gospel also to you who are in Rome.
16 Ne stidim se, uistinu, evanđelja: ono je snaga Božja na spasenje svakomu tko vjeruje - Židovu najprije, pa Grku.
I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, first to the Jew, then to the Greek.
17 Jer pravednost se Božja od vjere k vjeri u njemu otkriva kao što je pisano: Pravednik će od vjere živjeti.
For the gospel reveals the righteousness of God that comes by faith from start to finish, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”
18 Otkriva se doista s neba gnjev Božji na svaku bezbožnost i nepravednost ljudi koji istinu sputavaju nepravednošću.
The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness.
19 Jer što se o Bogu može spoznati, očito im je: Bog im očitova.
For what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them.
20 Uistinu, ono nevidljivo njegovo, vječna njegova moć i božanstvo, onamo od stvaranja svijeta, umom se po djelima razabire tako da nemaju isprike. (aïdios g126)
For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from His workmanship, so that men are without excuse. (aïdios g126)
21 Jer premda upoznaše Boga, ne iskazaše mu kao Bogu ni slavu ni zahvalnost, nego ishlapiše u mozganjima svojim te se pomrači bezumno srce njihovo.
For although they knew God, they neither glorified Him as God nor gave thanks to Him, but they became futile in their thinking and darkened in their foolish hearts.
22 Gradeći se mudrima, poludješe i
Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools,
23 zamijeniše slavu neraspadljivog Boga likom, obličjem raspadljiva čovjeka, i ptica, i četveronožaca, i gmazova.
and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images of mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.
24 Zato ih je Bog po pohotama srdaca njihovih predao nečistoći te sami obeščašćuju svoja tijela,
Therefore God gave them over in the desires of their hearts to impurity for the dishonoring of their bodies with one another.
25 oni što su Istinu - Boga zamijenili lažju, častili i štovali stvorenje umjesto Stvoritelja, koji je blagoslovljen u vjekove. Amen. (aiōn g165)
They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is forever worthy of praise! Amen. (aiōn g165)
26 Stoga ih je Bog predao sramotnim strastima: njihove žene zamijeniše naravno općenje protunaravnim,
For this reason God gave them over to dishonorable passions. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones.
27 a tako su i muškarci napustili naravno općenje sa ženom i raspalili se pohotom jedni za drugima te muškarci s muškarcima sramotno čine i sami na sebi primaju zasluženu plaću svoga zastranjenja.
Likewise, the men abandoned natural relations with women and burned with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.
28 I kako nisu smatrali vrijednim držati se spoznaje Boga, predade ih Bog nevaljanu umu te čine što ne dolikuje,
Furthermore, since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, He gave them up to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done.
29 puni svake nepravde, pakosti, lakomosti, zloće; puni zavisti, ubojstva, svađe, prijevare, zlonamjernosti; došaptavači,
They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed, and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, and malice. They are gossips,
30 klevetnici, mrzitelji Boga, drznici, oholice, preuzetnici, izmišljači zala, roditeljima neposlušni,
slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant, and boastful. They invent new forms of evil; they disobey their parents.
31 nerazumni, nevjerni, bešćutni, nemilosrdni.
They are senseless, faithless, heartless, merciless.
32 Znaju za odredbu Božju - da smrt zaslužuju koji takvo što čine - a oni ne samo da to čine nego i povlađuju onima koji čine.
Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things are worthy of death, they not only continue to do these things, but also approve of those who practice them.
