Rimljanima 6
1 Što ćemo dakle reći? Da ostanemo u grijehu da milost izobiluje?
So what shall we say? Shall we continue in the sin so that the grace may abound?
2 Nipošto! Jednom umrli grijehu, kako da još živimo u njemu?
Of course not! How can we who died to sin keep on living in it?
3 Ili zar ne znate: koji smo god kršteni u Krista Isusa, u smrt smo njegovu kršteni.
Or are you unaware that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?
4 Krštenjem smo dakle zajedno s njime ukopani u smrt da kao što Krist slavom Očevom bi uskrišen od mrtvih, i mi tako hodimo u novosti života.
Therefore, we were buried with Him by means of that baptism into that death, so that just as Christ was raised from the dead by means of the Father's glory, we also should walk in newness of life.
5 Ako smo doista s njime srasli po sličnosti smrti njegovoj, očito ćemo srasti i po sličnosti njegovu uskrsnuću.
Now if we have become united with Him in His death, we will certainly be in His resurrection as well;
6 Ovo znamo: naš je stari čovjek zajedno s njim raspet da onemoća ovo grešno tijelo te više ne robujemo grijehu.
knowing this, that our old self was crucified with Him in order that the body of the sin might be set aside, so that we no longer be enslaved to that sin—
7 Ta tko umre, opravdan je od grijeha.
because he who has died has been released from that sin.
8 Pa ako umrijesmo s Kristom, vjerujemo da ćemo i živjeti zajedno s njime.
Now since we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with Him,
9 Znamo doista: Krist uskrišen od mrtvih, više ne umire, smrt njime više ne gospoduje.
knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, cannot die again; death can no longer master Him
10 Što umrije, umrije grijehu jednom zauvijek; a što živi, živi Bogu.
—the death He died He died to sin once for all, while the life He lives He lives to God.
11 Tako i vi: smatrajte sebe mrtvima grijehu, a živima Bogu u Kristu Isusu!
Thus you also, consider yourselves to be dead indeed to the sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
12 Neka dakle ne kraljuje grijeh u vašem smrtnom tijelu da slušate njegove požude;
Therefore do not let the sin reign in your mortal body, so that you obey it with the body's evil desires
13 i ne predajite grijehu udova svojih za oružje nepravde, nego sebe, od mrtvih oživjele, predajte Bogu i udove svoje dajte Bogu za oružje pravednosti.
—do not present any part of your body to sin as an implement for unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who are alive from the dead, and your body parts to God as implements for righteousness.
14 Valjda grijeh neće vama gospodovati! Ta niste pod Zakonom nego pod milošću!
Really, sin must not rule over you, because you are not under law but under grace.
15 Što dakle? Da griješimo jer nismo pod Zakonom nego pod milošću? Nipošto!
What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Of course not!
16 Ne znate li: ako se komu predate za robove, na poslušnost, robovi ste onoga koga slušate: bilo grijeha - na smrt, bilo poslušnosti - na pravednost.
Do you not know that when you offer yourselves to someone to obey them as slaves, you are slaves to the one whom you obey—whether of sin into death, or of obedience into righteousness?
17 Bijaste robovi grijeha, ali ste, hvala Bogu, od srca poslušali ono pravilo nauka kojemu ste povjereni;
But thanks be to God that although you used to be the slaves of the sin you wholeheartedly obeyed that pattern of doctrine into which you were delivered.
18 da, oslobođeni grijeha, postadoste sluge pravednosti.
So having been emancipated from the sin, you became enslaved to the righteousness.
19 Po ljudsku govorim zbog vaše ljudske slabosti: kao što nekoć predadoste udove svoje za robove nečistoći i bezakonju - do bezakonja, tako sada predajte udove svoje za robove pravednosti - do posvećenja.
I continue to speak on a human level because of the weakness of your flesh. Now just as you used to present your body parts as slaves to uncleanness, and to ever increasing lawlessness, so now present your body parts as slaves to righteousness with a view to sanctification.
20 Uistinu, kad bijaste robovi grijeha, “slobodni” bijaste od pravednosti.
For when you were slaves to the sin, you were ‘free’ from the righteousness.
21 Pa kakav ste plod onda imali? Onoga se sada stidite jer svršetak je tomu - smrt.
So what ‘fruit’ did you have at that time from the things you are now ashamed of? The end of those things is death!
22 Sada pak pošto ste oslobođeni grijeha i postali sluge Božje, imate plod svoj za posvećenje, a svršetak - život vječni. (aiōnios g166)
But now, having been emancipated from the sin, and having become enslaved to God, you have your ‘fruit’ into sanctification—and the end is eternal life! (aiōnios g166)
