Římanům 12
1 Protož prosím vás, bratří, skrze milosrdenství Boží, abyste vydávali těla svá v obět živou, svatou, Bohu libou, rozumnou službu vaši.
My fellow believers, since God has acted mercifully [toward you] in so many ways, I appeal to [all of] you that you present yourselves [SYN] [to him by making yourselves like] holy sacrifices [MET]. [Make yourselves sacrifices] that he is pleased with, sacrifices that are living/alive, [not ones that are dead/killed. Since God has done so much for you/us], this is the [only] appropriate way to serve him.
2 A nepřipodobňujte se světu tomuto, ale proměňtež se obnovením mysli vaší, tak abyste zkusili, jaká by byla vůle Boží dobrá, libá a dokonalá. (aiōn g165)
Do not let anything non-Christian determine how you should act. Instead, let God change your [way of life] by making your way of thinking new, in order that you may know what he wants you to do. That is, you will know what is good, and you will know what pleases [God], and you will know how to be all that he wants you to be. (aiōn g165)
3 Neboť pravím (skrze milost, kteráž dána jest mi, ) každému z těch, jenž jsou mezi vámi, aby ne více smyslil, než sluší smysliti, ale aby smyslil v středmosti, tak jakž jednomu každému Bůh udělil míru víry.
Because God has kindly appointed me [to be his apostle], which I did not deserve, I say this to every one of you: Do not think about yourselves more highly than what is right for you to think! Instead, think [about yourselves] in a sensible way that [corresponds to the abilities] that God has given you [because] you trust [in Christ].
4 Nebo jakož v jednom těle mnohé údy máme, ale nemají všickni údové jednostejného díla,
Although a person has one body, it consists of many parts. All of the parts are needed for [the body], but they do not all function the same way.
5 Tak mnozí jedno tělo jsme v Kristu, a obzvláštně jedni druhých údové.
Similarly we, [although we are] many, are [united into] one group because of our relationship with Christ, and we belong to one another. [So no one should act as though he] is needed by God more [than others are!]
6 Ale majíce obdarování rozdílná podle milosti, kteráž dána jest nám, buďto proroctví, kteréž ať jest podle pravidla víry;
[Instead], since each one of us can do various things that differ according to the abilities that [God has] given to us, [we should do them diligently and cheerfully]! Those whom [God has enabled] to speak messages from him [should speak] what corresponds to what they believe [God told them].
7 Buďto úřad, v bedlivém přisluhování; buďto ten, jenž učí, v vyučování.
[Those whom God has enabled] to serve [others] should do that. [Those whom God has enabled] to teach [his truth] should do that.
8 Též kdo napomíná, v napomínání; ten, jenž rozdává, dávej v upřímnosti; kdož jiným předložen jest, konej úřad svůj s pilností; kdo milosrdenství činí, s ochotností.
Those [whom God has enabled to] encourage/exhort [his people] should do that. Those who share [their goods/money with others] should do it sincerely/generously. Those who lead [the congregation] should do it wholeheartedly. Those who help the needy should do it cheerfully.
9 Milování buď bez pokrytství; v ošklivosti mějte zlé, připojeni jsouce k dobrému.
Love others sincerely! Hate what is evil! Continue to eagerly do what [God considers to be] good!
10 Láskou bratrskou jedni k druhým nakloněni jsouce, uctivostí se vespolek předcházejte,
Love one another as members of the same family do; and, you should be (the first ones/eager) to honor each other!
11 V pracech neleniví, duchem vroucí, příhodnosti času šetřící,
Do not be lazy. [Instead], be eager [to serve the Lord] God!
12 Nadějí se radující, v souženích trpěliví, na modlitbě ustaviční,
Rejoice because you are confidently awaiting [what God will do for you]! When you suffer, be patient! Keep praying and never give up!
13 V potřebách s svatými se sdělující, přívětivosti k hostem následující.
If any of God’s people lacks anything, share with them [what you have]! Readily take care of [travelers who need a place to stay]!
14 Dobrořečte protivníkům vašim, dobrořečte, pravím, a nezlořečte.
[Ask God to] be kind to those who (persecute you/cause you to suffer) [because you believe in Jesus! Ask him to] be kind to them; do not [ask him to] cause bad things to happen to them.
15 Radujte s radujícími, a plačte s plačícími.
If someone is joyful, you should rejoice also! If someone is sad, you should also be sad!
16 Buďte vespolek jednomyslní, ne vysoce o sobě smýšlejíce, ale k nízkým se nakloňujíce.
Desire for others what you desire for yourselves (OR, Live harmoniously with each other)! Do not do things because you want to be [famous]! Instead, be content to do [tasks that others consider that only] unimportant people do (OR, [to associate with unimportant] people). Do not consider yourselves wise.
17 Nebuďte opatrní sami u sebe. Žádnému zlého za zlé neodplacujte, opatrujíce dobré přede všemi lidmi,
Do not do something evil to anyone [who has done] something evil to you. Act in a way that all people will recognize as good!
18 Jestliže jest možné, pokudž na vás jest, se všemi lidmi pokoj majíce,
Live peacefully with other people whenever it is possible, to the extent that you [can influence the situation].
19 Ne sami sebe mstíce, nejmilejší, ale dejte místo hněvu; nebo psáno jest: Mně pomsta, já odplatím, praví Pán.
[My fellow believers] whom I love, do not do something evil in return when people do something evil to you! Instead, allow [God] to punish them [MTY], because it is {someone has} written [in the Scriptures that] the Lord [said], “‘It is my responsibility to take revenge; I am the one who will punish [people who do something something evil to you] [DOU],’ says the Lord.”
20 A protož lační-li nepřítel tvůj, nakrm jej, a žízní-li, dej mu píti. Nebo to učině, uhlí řeřavé shrneš na hlavu jeho.
Instead of [doing something evil to those who have done something evil to you], [do as the Scriptures teach]: “If your [(sg)] enemies are hungry, feed them! If they are thirsty, give them something to drink! By doing that, you [(sg)] will cause them to feel ashamed [and perhaps they will change their attitude toward you] [IDM].”
21 Nedej se přemoci zlému, ale přemáhej v dobrém zlé.
Do not let evil [things that others have done to you] overcome you [(sg) by making you do evil things to them!] [PRS] Instead, overcome the evil [things that they have done] by [doing] good [deeds to them]!
