Rimljanima 1
1 Pavao, sluga Krista Isusa, pozvan za apostola, odlučen za evanđelje Božje -
From Paul, a slave of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, set apart for a gospel of God,
2 koje Bog unaprijed obećavaše po svojim prorocima u Pismima svetim
which through his prophets he promised beforetime, in holy writings;
3 o Sinu svome, potomku Davidovu po tijelu,
this gospel is concerning his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who was born of David’s posterity in respect of his bodily nature,
4 postavljenu Sinom Božjim, u snazi, po Duhu posvetitelju uskrsnućem od mrtvih, o Isusu Kristu, Gospodinu našemu,
but was by his resurrection from the dead instated as Son of God, with power, in respect of his spirit of holiness.
5 po komu primismo milost i apostolstvo da na slavu imena njegova k poslušnosti vjere privodimo sve pogane
It is through him, even Jesus Christ our Lord, that I received grace and apostleship to promote obedience to the faith among all the Gentiles, for his name’s sake;
6 među kojima ste i vi pozvanici Isusa Krista:
among whom you also are called to be Jesus Christ’s.
7 svima u Rimu, miljenicima Božjim, pozvanicima, svetima. Milost vam i mir od Boga, Oca našega, i Gospodina Isusa Krista.
To all that are in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints. May God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ, bless you, and give you peace.
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 throughout all the world.
9 Doista, svjedok mi je Bog - komu duhom svojim služim u evanđelju Sina njegova - da vas se
God is my witness, to whom I render holy service in my spirit in the gospel of his Son, how unceasingly I am ever making mention of you in my prayers,
10 u svojim molitvama neprekidno spominjem i uvijek molim ne bi li mi se već jednom s voljom Božjom nekako posrećilo doći k vama.
always entreating him that now at length, if such be his will, the way may be made clear for me to come to you.
11 Jer čeznem vidjeti vas da vam predam nešto dara duhovnoga te se ojačate, zapravo -
For I am longing so to see you, in order to impart to you some spiritual gift, so that you may be established;
12 da se zajedno s vama ohrabrim zajedničkom vjerom, vašom i mojom.
that is, that I with you may be encouraged by you, each of us by the other’s faith, yours and mine.
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 want you to know, brothers, that many a time I have planned to come to you - though until now I have been hindered - so as to have some harvest-fruit among you also, even as I have among the rest of the Gentiles.
14 Dužnik sam Grcima i barbarima, mudracima i neznalicama.
To Greeks and to barbarians, to the cultured and to the uncultured, I have a debt to discharge.
15 Odatle moja nakana da i vama u Rimu navijestim evanđelje.
So much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you also who are in Rome.
16 Ne stidim se, uistinu, evanđelja: ono je snaga Božja na spasenje svakomu tko vjeruje - Židovu najprije, pa Grku.
FOR I AM PROUD OF THE GOSPEL. IT IS GOD’S SAVING POWER FOR EVERY ONE WHO BELIEVES. FOR THE JEW FIRST, AND ALSO FOR THE GENTILE.
17 Jer pravednost se Božja od vjere k vjeri u njemu otkriva kao što je pisano: Pravednik će od vjere živjeti.
FOR IN IT IS BEING REVEALED A RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH PROCEEDS FROM GOD, FROM FAITH UNTO FAITH; AS IT IS WRITTEN.
18 Otkriva se doista s neba gnjev Božji na svaku bezbožnost i nepravednost ljudi koji istinu sputavaju nepravednošću.
For God’s wrath is ever being revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who smother the truth by their unrighteousness.
19 Jer što se o Bogu može spoznati, očito im je: Bog im očitova.
This is so because that which may be known of God is manifest among them; for God has made it manifest 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 ever since the creation of the world his invisible nature, even his everlasting power and divinity, has been clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made. So they have no 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, yet they did not glorify him as God, nor give him thanks; but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless minds were darkened.
22 Gradeći se mudrima, poludješe i
While they professed to be wise, they became fools,
23 zamijeniše slavu neraspadljivog Boga likom, obličjem raspadljiva čovjeka, i ptica, i četveronožaca, i gmazova.
and exchanged the majesty of the imperishable God for an idol, graven in the likeness of perishable man, or of birds and four-footed beasts and creeping things.
24 Zato ih je Bog po pohotama srdaca njihovih predao nečistoći te sami obeščašćuju svoja tijela,
So God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their own bodies;
25 oni što su Istinu - Boga zamijenili lažju, častili i štovali stvorenje umjesto Stvoritelja, koji je blagoslovljen u vjekove. Amen. (aiōn g165)
because they exchanged the truth of God for an untruth, and worshiped and served the creature, rather than the Creator who is blessed forever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
26 Stoga ih je Bog predao sramotnim strastima: njihove žene zamijeniše naravno općenje protunaravnim,
That is why God has given them up to passions of dishonor; for on the one hand their women actually changed the natural function of sex into that which is against nature;
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.
and on the other hand their men likewise abandoned the natural use of women, and were ablaze with passion for one another; men with men practising shameless acts and receiving in their own person that recompense of their wrong-doing which necessarily followed.
28 I kako nisu smatrali vrijednim držati se spoznaje Boga, predade ih Bog nevaljanu umu te čine što ne dolikuje,
And just as they refused to continue to retain God in their knowledge, so did God cast them out to an outcast mind, to do those things which were indecent.
29 puni svake nepravde, pakosti, lakomosti, zloće; puni zavisti, ubojstva, svađe, prijevare, zlonamjernosti; došaptavači,
They were overflowing with every kind of iniquity, depravity, greed, and malice. They were full of envy, murder, quarreling, deceit, and malignity.
30 klevetnici, mrzitelji Boga, drznici, oholice, preuzetnici, izmišljači zala, roditeljima neposlušni,
They became whisperers, back-biters, hated of God, insolent, haughty, boastful. They invented sins. They were disobedient to parents.
31 nerazumni, nevjerni, bešćutni, nemilosrdni.
They were without sense, without faith, without natural affection, without mercy.
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.
Though they knew well the ordinance of God, that those who practise such vices are worthy of death, they not only continue to do the same, but were even applauding those who practise vice.
