Římanům 8
1 A protož neníť již žádného odsouzení těm, kteříž jsou v Kristu Ježíši, totiž nechodícím podle těla, ale podle Ducha.
Because [God has erased the record of our sins because we trust in what Christ has done for us], now [God will] not condemn and punish those/us who have a relationship with (OR, are united to) Christ Jesus.
2 Nebo zákon Ducha života v Kristu Ježíši, vysvobodil mne od zákona hřícha a smrti.
[God’s] Spirit causes us to live [in a new way] [PRS] as a result of what Christ Jesus [did for us]. And he has set up a way by which he frees [each of] us from continually being forced to sin (OR, to obey our self-directed natures) and from being separated from God.
3 Nebo seč nemohl býti Zákon, byv mdlý pro tělo, Bůh poslav Syna svého v podobnosti těla hřícha, a to příčinou hřícha, odsoudil hřích na těle,
What [we] could not do [by trying to obey] the laws [of God] [PRS], because our self-directed nature was too weak [to obey them], God did. He sent his own Son [into the world in order that his Son might atone] for our sin. His Son came having a body (OR, human nature) that was like [the body] (OR, the [human nature]) of us people who sin. [By sending his Son in this way], he condemned and punished [his Son, who never sinned, instead of punishing us, who] sinned [MTY]. He did that [by making his Son’s] body [a sacrifice] (OR, [by causing his Son’s] body [to suffer/die]) for [all our] sin.
4 Aby spravedlnost Zákona vyplněna byla v nás, kteříž nechodíme podle těla, ale podle Ducha.
So we can [now] fulfill all that God required in his laws. We do this, not by our acting the way our sinful human nature [desires], but instead by living as [God’s] Spirit [desires us to live].
5 Ti zajisté, kteříž jsou podle těla živi, chutnají to, což jest těla, ale ti, kteříž jsou živi podle Ducha, oblibují to, což jest Ducha.
People who live according to what their self-directed nature [desires] think about and are concerned about what their self-directed nature [desires]. But people who [live] according to what [God’s] Spirit [desires think about and are concerned about] what [God’s] Spirit [desires].
6 Nebo smýšlení těla jest smrt, smýšlení pak Ducha život a pokoj,
Those people who [PRS] think about and are concerned about what their self-directed nature [desires] will not live eternally (OR, will be separated from God). But those people who think about and are concerned about what [God’s] Spirit [desires] will live [eternally] and have [inner] peace.
7 Protože smýšlení těla jest nepřátelské Bohu; nebo Zákonu Božímu není poddáno, a aniž hned může býti.
Let me explain this. [To the extent that] people [PRS] think about and are concerned about what their self-directed nature [desires], they are acting contrary to God. They do not obey the laws of God. In fact, they are not even able [to obey his laws].
8 Protož ti, kteříž jsou v těle, Bohu se líbiti nemohou.
The people who let their self-directed nature [control them] cannot do what pleases God.
9 Vy pak nejste v těle, ale v Duchu, poněvadž Duch Boží přebývá v vás. Jestližeť pak kdo Ducha Kristova nemá, tenť není jeho.
But we do not have to let our self-directed nature [control us]. Instead, we can [let] God’s Spirit [control us], because he lives within us. If people do not have [living in them] the Spirit [who comes from] Christ, they do not belong to Christ.
10 A jest-liť Kristus v vás, tedy ač tělo umrtveno jest pro hřích, však duch živ jest pro spravedlnost.
But since Christ [is living in you/us by his Spirit, although] your/our bodies [are certain to] die because you/we sin, your/our spirits are alive because God has erased the record of your/our sins.
11 Jestližeť pak Duch toho, kterýž vzkřísil Ježíše z mrtvých, přebývá v vás, ten, kterýž vzkřísil Krista z mrtvých, obživí i smrtelná těla vaše, pro přebývajícího Ducha jeho v vás.
[God] caused Jesus to live again after he died. And because his Spirit lives in you/us, [God] will also make your/our bodies, which [now] are sure to die, live [again after you/we die]. God, who caused Christ to live again after he died, will make you/us live again by [causing] his Spirit, who lives within you/us, [to do it].
12 A takž tedy, bratří, dlužníciť jsme ne tělu, abychom podle těla živi byli.
Therefore, my fellow believers, we must [live as the Spirit directs us]. What we do not have to do is to live as our self-directed nature [guides us].
13 Nebo budete-li podle těla živi, zemřete; pakli byste Duchem skutky těla mrtvili, živi budete.
If you live the way your self-directed nature [directs], you will surely not live [eternally] (OR, will surely be eternally separated from God). But if by [the power of God’s] Spirit you quit doing the [sinful] things that your bodies [desire] [MET], you will live eternally.
14 Nebo kteřížkoli Duchem Božím vedeni bývají, ti jsou synové Boží.
We who are guided by the Spirit of God {allow the Spirit of God to guide us} are God’s children.
15 Nepřijali jste zajisté Ducha služby opět k bázni, ale přijali jste Ducha synovství, v němžto voláme Abba, totiž Otče.
[You have showed that this is true], because you received [from God] a Spirit that is not one that makes you fear [God] again. You are not like slaves who [fear their masters] [MET]. On the contrary, we have received a Spirit by whose [work in our hearts God] has adopted us. The Spirit now enables us to cry out [to God], “[You(sg) are my] Father [DOU]!”
16 A tenť Duch osvědčuje duchu našemu, že jsme synové Boží.
The Spirit himself confirms what our spirits [say], that we are God’s children.
17 A jestliže synové, tedy i dědicové, dědicové zajisté Boží, spolu pak dědicové Kristovi, však tak, jestliže spolu s ním trpíme, abychom spolu i oslaveni byli.
Because we are [God’s] children, we also will some day receive/inherit [eternal blessings/privileges]. We will receive/inherit them from God, and we will [also] receive/inherit [them] just like Christ has [inherited them]. But we must suffer [for doing good] as Christ did, in order to receive splendor as he did.
18 Nebo tak za to mám, že nejsou rovná utrpení nynější oné budoucí slávě, kteráž se zjeviti má na nás.
I consider that what we suffer during the present time is not worth [paying attention to, because] the future splendor/glory that will be revealed {that [God] will reveal} to us [is so great].
19 Nebo pečlivé očekávání všeho stvoření očekává žádostivého zjevení synů Božích.
The [things that God has] created are very eagerly waiting for [the time] [PRS, DOU] when God will reveal who his [true] children are.
20 Marnosti zajisté poddáno jest stvoření, nechtě, ale pro toho, kterýž je poddal,
[God] caused the things that he created to be unable to achieve [what he had purposed. That was] not because they wanted to [be unable to do that]. On the contrary, [God] made them that way because he wanted them to keep confidently expecting
21 V naději, že i ono vysvobozeno bude od služby porušení a přivedeno v svobodu slávy synů Božích.
that the things that [he] created will be freed {that [he] will free the things that [he] created} from their sure decay [MET]. [He] will free them in order that [he can give them] the same glory that belongs to his children.
22 Nebo víme, že všecko stvoření spolu lká a spolu ku porodu pracuje až posavad,
We know that until now [it is as though] all [things] that God created have been groaning together, [and they long for that glory, just like a mother having the pains before bearing a child] groans [and longs for her baby’s birth] [MET].
23 A netoliko ono, ale i my, prvotiny Ducha mající, i myť také sami v sobě lkáme, zvolení synů Božích očekávajíce, a tak vykoupení těla našeho.
Not only [do those things groan], but we ourselves also groan inwardly. We who have [God’s] Spirit, who is like a partial gift [MET] we have received as we wait for [the future glory, groan inwardly]. We groan while we wait eagerly for the time when we will receive our [full] rights as God’s adopted children. That [will include] his freeing our bodies [from the things that hinder us on earth. He will do this by giving us new bodies].
24 Nebo nadějí spaseni jsme. Naděje pak, kteráž se vidí, není naděje. Nebo což kdo vidí, proč by se toho nadál?
Ever since we were saved {since [God] saved us}, we have continued to confidently expect [that future glory]. If we had what we waited for, we would not [need to] wait for it any longer, because those who have something, certainly do not continue to wait for it! [RHQ]
25 Pakli čehož nevidíme, toho se nadějeme, tedy toho skrze trpělivost očekáváme.
But because we keep waiting expectantly to receive what we do not yet have, we wait for it eagerly and patiently/perseveringly.
26 Ano také i Duch svatý pomocen jest mdlobám našim. Nebo zač bychom se měli modliti, jakž by náleželo, nevíme, ale ten Duch prosí za nás lkáními nevypravitelnými.
Similarly, in addition to our continuing to wait for what God will give us, God’s Spirit helps us when our spirits feel weak. We do not know what is proper/necessary for us to pray. But God’s Spirit knows, and he prays for us when we groan (OR, he groans) in a way that cannot be expressed in words (OR, prays with us, groaning in a way that cannot be expressed in words).
27 Ten pak, kterýž jest zpytatel srdcí, zná, jaký by byl smysl Ducha, že podle Boha prosí za svaté.
God, who examines our inner feelings, understands what his Spirit desires. What God understands is that his Spirit prays for us who belong to God exactly as God wants him to pray.
28 Vímeť pak, že milujícím Boha všecky věci napomáhají k dobrému, totiž těm, kteříž podle uložení jeho povoláni jsou.
And we know that to those/us who love God, he works out all things that happen [to them/us] in a way that produces good [spiritual] benefits [for us]. He does these things for those/us whom he has chosen, because that was (OR, was according to) what he planned to do.
29 Nebo kteréž předzvěděl, ty i předzřídil, aby byli připodobněni obrazu Syna jeho, aby tak on byl prvorozený mezi mnohými bratřími.
God knew previously [that we would believe] in him (OR, [would be saved]). We are those who God also decided previously would develop a character like his Son’s character. The result of that is that [Christ is like] a firstborn/highest-ranking [son], and [those/we who are God’s children] [MET] are [like] [MET] many [younger] brothers [of Jesus].
30 Kteréž pak předzřídil, těch i povolal, a kterýchž povolal, ty i ospravedlnil, a kteréž ospravedlnil, ty i oslavil.
And us who God decided previously [that we would become like his Son], he also summoned. And for us whom he summoned, he also erased the record of our sins. And for us whose record of sins he has erased, he also will surely give future splendor.
31 Což tedy díme k tomu? Kdyžť jest Bůh s námi, i kdo proti nám?
So (I will tell you what we must conclude from [all] these things [that God does for us]./what shall we conclude from [all] these things [that God does for us]?) [RHQ] Because God [is acting] on our behalf, (no one can win against us!/can anyone defeat us? (OR, it does not matter if anyone opposes us)!) [RHQ]
32 Kterýž ani vlastnímu Synu svému neodpustil, ale za nás za všecky vydal jej, i kterakž by tedy nám s ním všech věcí nedal?
God did not spare even his very own Son. Instead, he turned him over [to others to cruelly kill him] in order that all we [who believe in him] may benefit [from his dying for us. Therefore, because God did that], (he will also certainly give us freely everything [that we need to live for him], in addition to [giving us] Christ./will he not also certainly give us freely everything [that we need to live for him], in addition to [giving us] Christ?) [RHQ]
33 Kdo bude žalovati na vyvolené Boží? Bůh jest, jenž ospravedlňuje.
It is God himself who erases the record of our sins. So (no one who accuses us [before God will win against us] (OR, [it does not matter] if anyone tries to accuse us) whom God has chosen./is it possible that anyone who accuses us [before God] will win against us (OR, does it matter if anyone tries to accuse us) whom God has chosen?) [RHQ]
34 Kdo jest, ješto by je odsoudil? Kristus jest, kterýž umřel za ně, nýbrž i z mrtvých vstal, a kterýž i na pravici Boží jest, kterýž také i oroduje za nás.
It is Christ Jesus himself who pleads [with God] for us, so (no one can condemn us (OR, say that we are still guilty for our sin)./can anyone condemn us (OR, say that we are still guilty for our sin)?) [RHQ] Christ died [for us], but he was also brought back to life {[God] also raised him from the dead}, and he is now at the place of honor [ruling] with God [MTY].
35 A protož kdo nás odloučí od lásky Kristovy? Zdali zarmoucení, aneb úzkost, nebo protivenství? Zdali hlad, čili nahota? Zdali nebezpečenství, čili meč?
Absolutely no one and nothing can cause Christ to stop loving us! [RHQ] That could not [RHQ] happen [because someone] caused us to have trouble [DOU], or [because someone did things to] harm us, or [because we did] not have anything to eat, or [because we did] not have enough clothes, or [because we lived in a] dangerous situation, or [because someone killed us with] a sword [MTY] (OR, murdered us).
36 Jakož psáno jest: Pro tebe mrtveni býváme celý den, jmíni jsme jako ovce oddané k zabití.
[Such things may happen to us, just like] it is written {[as David] wrote} [that David said to God], “Because we are your [(sg)] people, [other people repeatedly attempt to] kill us. They consider that we are [only people to be killed], [like a butcher considers] that sheep are [only] animals to be slaughtered [MET].”
37 Ale v tom ve všem udatně vítězíme, skrze toho, kterýž nás zamiloval.
But even though all these bad things [may happen to us], we win a great victory/triumph [over these things because Christ], who loves us, [helps us].
38 Jist jsem zajisté, že ani smrt, ani život, ani andělé, ani knížatstvo, ani mocnosti, ani nastávající věci, ani budoucí,
I am absolutely certain that neither being dead (OR, being killed), nor [what happens to us while] we live, nor angels, nor demons, nor present events, nor future events, nor powerful [beings/forces],
39 Ani vysokost, ani hlubokost, ani kterékoli jiné stvoření, nebude moci nás odloučiti od lásky Boží, kteráž jest v Kristu Ježíši, Pánu našem.
nor [powerful beings] above [the horizon] or below [the horizon] [MTY], nor anything else that [God has] created can cause God to stop loving us. [God showed us that he loves us by sending] Jesus Christ our Lord [to die for us].
