Rimljanima 15
1 Mi jaki treba da nosimo slabosti slabih, a ne da sebi ugađamo.
We are bound, however, we, who are strong, the weakness of them who are not strong to be bearing, and not, unto ourselves, to give pleasure.
2 Svaki od nas neka ugađa bližnjemu na dobro, na izgrađivanje.
Let, each one of us, unto his neighbour give pleasure—for what is good unto upbuilding;
3 Ta ni Krist nije sebi ugađao, nego kao što je pisano: Poruge onih koji se rugaju tebi padoše na me.
For, even the Christ, not unto himself gave pleasure, but, even as it is written—The reproaches of them that we reproaching thee, fell upon me:
4 Uistinu, što je nekoć napisano, nama je za pouku napisano da po postojanosti i utjesi Pisama imamo nadu.
Whatsoever things, in fact, were written aforetime, [all] for our own instruction were written, —in order that, through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures, we might have their hope.
5 A Bog postojanosti i utjehe dao vam da međusobno budete složni po Kristu Isusu
Now may, the God of the endurance and of the encouragement, give you, the same thing, to be regarding amongst one another, according to Christ Jesus;
6 te jednodušno, iz jednoga grla, slavite Boga i Oca Gospodina našega Isusa Krista.
In order that, with one accord, with one mouth, ye maybe glorifying the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
7 Prigrljujte jedni druge kao što je Krist prigrlio vas na slavu Božju.
Wherefore receive ye one another, even as, Christ also, hath received us unto the glory of God: —
8 Krist je, velim, postao poslužitelj obrezanika za istinu Božju da ispuni obećanja dana ocima,
For I affirm Christ to have become a minister of circumcision in behalf of the truth of God, —to confirm the promises of the fathers,
9 a pogani da za milosrđe proslave Boga, kao što je pisano: Zato ću te slaviti među pucima i psalam pjevati tvome imenu.
And that, the nations, for mercy should glorify God: —even as it is written—For this cause, will I openly confess unto thee among nations, and, unto thy name, will strike the strings;
10 I još veli: Kličite, puci, s njegovim narodom.
And again he saith—Be glad ye nations with his people;
11 I još: Hvalite, svi puci, Gospodina, slavili ga svi narodi!
And again, —Be giving praise all ye nations unto the Lord, and let all the peoples repeat his praise;
12 Izaija opet veli: Pojavit će se Jišajev izdanak, dignut da vlada narodima, u njemu je nada narodima.
And, again, Isaiah, saith—There shall be the root of Jesse, and he that ariseth to rule nations, —upon, him, shall nations hope.
13 A Bog nade napunio vas svakom radošću i mirom u vjeri da izobilujete u nadi snagom Duha Svetoga.
Now, the God of the hope, fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that ye may surpass in the hope, in the power of Holy Spirit.
14 Ja sam, braćo moja, uvjeren: vi ste i sami puni čestitosti, ispunjeni svakim znanjem, sposobni jedni druge urazumljivati.
But I am persuaded my brethren, —even, I myself, concerning you: that, ye yourselves, also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also, unto one another, to be ministering admonition:
15 Ipak vam djelomično smionije napisah da vas na poznato nekako podsjetim poradi milosti koja mi je dana od Boga -
Howbeit, the more boldly, have I written unto you, —in some measure, as bringing it back to your minds, —by reason of the favour given unto me from God, —
16 da budem bogoslužnik Krista Isusa među poganima, svećenik evanđelja Božjega te prinos pogana postane ugodan, posvećen Duhom Svetim.
That I should be a public minister of Christ Jesus unto the nations, doing priestly service with the glad-message of God, in order that the offering up of the nations might prove to be acceptable, being hallowed in Holy Spirit:
17 Imam se dakle čime dičiti u Kristu Isusu s obzirom na ono što je Božje.
I have, therefore, [my] boasting in Christ Jesus in the things pertaining to God, —
18 Jer ne bih se usudio govoriti o nečemu što Krist riječju i djelom,
For I wilt not dare to speak anything save of the things which Christ hath wrought out for himself through me for the obedience of nations, —by word and deed,
19 snagom znamenja i čudesa, snagom Duha nije po meni učinio da k poslušnosti privede pogane. Tako sam od Jeruzalema pa uokolo sve do Ilirika pronio evanđelje Kristovo,
By the power of signs and wonders, by the power of [Holy Spirit]; so that I, from Jerusalem and in a circuit as far as Illyricum, have fulfilled the glad-message of the Christ, —
20 i to tako da sam se trsio navješćivati evanđelje ne gdje se već spominjao Krist - da ne bih gradio na temeljima drugih -
Although, thus, —as ambitious to be announcing the glad-message—not where Christ had been named, lest, upon another’s foundation, I should be building;
21 nego, kako je pisano: Vidjet će ga oni kojima nije naviješten, shvatiti oni koji za nj nisu čuli.
But, even as it is written—They shall see unto whom had been announced no tidings concerning him, and, they who had not heard, shall understand.
22 Time sam ponajčešće i bio spriječen doći k vama.
Wherefore, also, I have been hindered these many times from coming unto you;
23 Sad mi pak više nema mjesta u ovim krajevima, a živa mi je želja, ima već mnogo godina, doći k vama
But, now, no longer having place in these regions, and having had, a longing, to come unto you a good many years, —
24 kad pođem u Španjolsku. Nadam se doista da ću vas na proputovanju posjetiti i da ćete me onamo otpraviti pošto mi se najprije bar donekle ispuni želja biti s vama.
As soon as I am journey to Spain, —I am hoping, in fact, when journeying through to get sight of you, and by you to be set forward thither, —if, with your company, I have first in some measure been satisfied.
25 Ali sad idem u Jeruzalem da poslužim svetima.
But, now, I am journeying unto Jerusalem, ministering unto the saints;
26 Makedonija i Ahaja odlučiše očitovati neko zajedništvo prema siromašnim svetima u Jeruzalemu.
For Macedonia and Achaia have been well-pleased to make a certain fellowship for the destitute of the saints who are in Jerusalem, —
27 Da, odlučiše, a i dužnici su im. Jer ako su pogani postali sudionicima njihovih duhovnih dobara, dužni su im u tjelesnima poslužiti.
They have been well-pleased, indeed, —and, their debtors, they are; for, if, with their spiritual things the nations have come into fellowship, they are bound also with their own carnal things to minister publicly unto them.
28 Pošto dakle to obavim - ovaj im plod zapečaćen uručim - uputit ću se u Španjolsku i usput k vama.
This, then, having completed, and sealed unto them this fruit, I will come back by you unto Spain: —
29 A kada dođem k vama, doći ću, znam, s puninom blagoslova Kristova.
And know that, when I come unto you, in the fullness of the blessing of Christ, I shall come.
30 Ali zaklinjem vas, braćo, Gospodinom Isusom Kristom i ljubavlju Duha: suborci mi budite u molitvama Bogu upravljenima za me,
I beseech you, moreover, [brethren], through our Lord Jesus Christ, and through the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in your prayers on my behalf unto God, —
31 da umaknem onim nevjernima u Judeji i da moja pomoć Jeruzalemu bude po volji svetima
In order that I may be delivered from them who do not yield in Judaea, and, my ministry which is unto Jerusalem, may prove to be acceptable unto the saints;
32 te s Božjom voljom radosno dođem k vama i s vama zajedno odahnem.
In order that, with joy coming unto you through God’s will, I may together with you find rest.
33 Bog mira sa svima vama! Amen.
Now, the God of peace, be with you all. Amen.
