Rimljanima 2
1 Zato nemaš isprike, čovječe koji sudiš, tko god ti bio. Jer time što drugoga sudiš, sebe osuđuješ: ta to isto činiš ti što sudiš.
You are therefore inexcusable, O man, whoever you are, that sits in judgment; for in judging another you are condemning yourself. You, the judge, are habitually practising the very same things.
2 Znamo pak: Bog po istini sudi one koji takvo što čine.
"We know that God’s judgment against those who practise such vices is in accord with the truth," you say?
3 Misliš li da ćeš izbjeći sudu Božjemu, ti čovječe što sudiš one koji takvo što čine, a sam to isto činiš?
Very well; and do you suppose, you who judge those that practise such vices, and are doing the very same, that you will elude the judgment of God?
4 Ili prezireš bogatstvo dobrote, strpljivosti i velikodušnosti njegove ne shvaćajući da te dobrota Božja k obraćenju privodi?
Or do you despise the riches of his kindness and forbearance and long patience? Do you not know that the kindness of God is leading you to repentance?
5 Tvrdokornošću svojom i srcem koje neće obraćenja zgrćeš na se gnjev za Dan gnjeva i objavljenja pravedna suda Boga
In your hardness and impenitence of heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath on the Day of Wrath, when the righteous judgment of God is revealed.
6 koji će uzvratiti svakom po djelima:
For He will render to every man according to his works;
7 onima koji postojanošću u dobrim djelima ištu slavu, čast i neraspadljivost - život vječni; (aiōnios g166)
eternal life to those who by patience in well-doing strive for glory and honor and immortality; (aiōnios g166)
8 buntovnicima pak i nepokornima istini, a pokornima nepravdi - gnjev i srdžba!
but anger and wrath upon those who are self-willed and disobey the truth, but obey unrighteousness.
9 Nevolja i tjeskoba na svaku dušu čovječju koja čini zlo, na Židova najprije, pa na Grka;
Anguish and calamity will be upon every soul of man who practises evil, upon the Jew first, and also upon the Gentile;
10 a slava, čast i mir svakomu koji čini dobro, Židovu najprije, pa Grku!
but glory and honor and peace to every man who does good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile.
11 Ta u Boga nema pristranosti.
For there is no partiality with God.
12 Uistinu koji bez Zakona sagriješiše, bez Zakona će i propasti; i koji pod Zakonom sagriješiše, po Zakonu će biti suđeni.
For all who have sinned without law will also perish without law; and all who have sinned under law will be judged by law.
13 Ne, pred Bogom nisu pravedni slušatelji Zakona, nego - izvršitelji će Zakona biti opravdani.
For it is not the hearers of law who are righteous in the eyes of God; nay, it is the doers of law who will be accounted righteous.
14 Ta kad se god pogani, koji nemaju Zakona, po naravi drže Zakona, i nemajući Zakona, oni su sami sebi Zakon:
For when Gentiles, who have no law, obey by natural instinct the commands of the Law, they even though they have no law, are a law to themselves.
15 pokazuju da je ono što Zakon nalaže upisano u srcima njihovim. O tom svjedoči i njihova savjest, a i prosuđivanja kojima se među sobom optužuju ili brane.
For they show that the work of the Law is written in their hearts, while their conscience bears them witness, as their reasonings accuse, or it may be defend, them,
16 To će se očitovati na Dan u koji će, po mojem evanđelju, Bog po Isusu Kristu suditi ono što je skriveno u ljudima.
in the day when God will judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my gospel.
17 Ako pak ti koji se Židovom nazivaš, koji mirno počivaš na Zakonu i dičiš se Bogom,
Now if you bear the name of a Jew, and rely upon law, and boast yourself in God,
18 koji poznaješ Volju i iz Zakona poučen razlučuješ što je bolje
and know his will, and can test the things that differ; if you are instructed out of the Law,
19 te si uvjeren da si vođa slijepih, svjetlo onih u tami,
and are confident that you yourself are a darkness,
20 odgojitelj nerazumnih, učitelj nejačadi jer u Zakonu imaš oličenje znanja i istine;
an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of the young, because you have in the Law the form of knowledge and of the truth - well then, you who are teaching others, do you ever teach yourself?
21 ti, dakle, koji drugoga učiš, sam sebe ne učiš! Ti koji propovijedaš da se ne krade, kradeš!
You who are preaching that a man should not steal, do you practise theft?
22 Ti koji zabranjuješ preljub, preljub počinjaš! Ti komu su odvratni kumiri, pljačkaš hramove!
You who keep saying that a man should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who hold idols in abhorrence, are you plundering their temples?
23 Ti koji se Zakonom dičiš, kršenjem toga Zakona Boga obeščašćuješ!
You who are making your boast in the Law, do you habitually dishonor God through your transgressions of the Law?
24 Doista, kako je pisano, ime se Božje zbog vas huli među narodima.
For the name of God is continually blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you, even as the Scripture itself says.
25 Da, obrezanje koristi ako vršiš Zakon; ako pak kršiš Zakon, obrezanje tvoje postalo je neobrezanje.
Circumcision does indeed profit, if you are obedient to the Law; but if you habitually break the Law, your circumcision is become uncircumcision.
26 Ako dakle neobrezani opslužuje propise Zakona, neće li se njegovo neobrezanje smatrati obrezanjem?
So if the uncircumcised keeps the ordinance of the Law, shall not his uncircumcision be reckoned equivalent to circumcision.
27 I onaj koji je podrijetlom neobrezanik, a ispunja Zakon, sudit će tebi koji si, uza sve slovo i obrezanje, prijestupnik Zakona.
And shall not those who are physically uncircumcised, but who keep the Law, condemn you who are a breaker of the Law, although you have a written law and circumcision?
28 Ta nije Židov tko je Židov naizvana i nije obrezanje ono izvana,
For the real Jew is not the man who is one outwardly, and the real circumcision is not outward in the flesh;
29 na tijelu, nego pravi je Židov u nutrini i pravo je obrezanje u srcu, po duhu, ne po slovu. Pohvala mu nije od ljudi, nego od Boga.
but the real Jew is one inwardly, and real circumcision is heart- circumcision, spiritual, not literal, praised not by men, but by God.
