Romans 15
1 Now we the strong ought to bear the weaknesses of the frail, and not to please ourselves.
Torej moramo mi, ki smo močni, prenašati slabotnosti šibkih, ne pa da ugajamo sebi.
2 Let each of us please his neighbor for what is good toward edification.
Naj vsak izmed nas ugaja svojemu bližnjemu v njegovo dobro, za izgrajevanje.
3 For Christ also did not please himself, but as it is written, The reproaches of those who reproached thee fell upon me.
Kajti celó Kristus ni ugajal sebi; temveč, kakor je pisano: ›Graje teh, ki so te grajali, so padle name.‹
4 For as many things as were written previously were written for our learning, so that through perseverance and through the encouragement of the scriptures we might have hope.
Kajti katerekoli stvari so bile vnaprej napisane, so bile napisane za naše učenje, da bi lahko preko potrpežljivosti in tolažbe iz pisem imeli upanje.
5 Now may the God of perseverance and of encouragement grant you to think the same way among each other, in accord with Christ Jesus,
Naj vam torej Bog potrpežljivosti in tolažbe zagotovi, da boste istih misli drug do drugega glede na Kristusa Jezusa;
6 so that unanimously, with one mouth, ye may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
da boste lahko z enim umom in enimi usti slavili Boga, celó Očeta našega Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa.
7 Therefore receive ye each other, just as Christ also received you for the glory of God.
Zatorej sprejemajte drug drugega, kakor je tudi Kristus nas sprejel v Božjo slavo.
8 And I say, Christ Jesus became a helper of men of circumcision, for the sake of God's truth (in order to confirm the promises of the fathers),
Torej pravim, da je bil Jezus Kristus služabnik obreze za Božjo resnico, da potrdi obljube, narejene očetom,
9 and the Gentiles, for the sake of mercy, to glorify God, as it is written, Because of this I will give thanks to thee among Gentiles, and will sing to thy name.
in da lahko pogani zaradi njegovega usmiljenja slavijo Boga; kakor je pisano: ›Zaradi tega razloga te bom priznal med pogani in prepeval tvojemu imenu.‹
10 And again he says, Rejoice, O Gentiles, with his people.
In ponovno pravi: ›Veselite se, vi pogani, z njegovimi ljudmi.‹
11 And again, Praise ye the Lord all nations, and let all the peoples praise him.
In ponovno: ›Hvalíte Gospoda, vsi pogani; in povzdigujte ga vsi ljudje.‹
12 And again, Isaiah says, There will be the root of Jesse, and he who arises to reign over Gentiles. In him Gentiles will hope.
In ponovno Izaija pravi: ›Jesejeva korenina bo in tisti, ki se bo dvignil, da kraljuje nad pogani; vanj bodo zaupali pogani.‹
13 Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, for ye to abound in hope in the power of the Holy Spirit.
Torej Bog upanja naj vas napolni z velikim veseljem in mirom v verovanju, da boste, po môči Svetega Duha, obilni v upanju.
14 And I also myself am persuaded about you, my brothers, that ye yourselves are also full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish others.
In tudi jaz sam sem prepričan o vas, moji bratje, da ste tudi vi polni dobrote, izpolnjeni z vsem spoznanjem, zmožni tudi drug drugega opominjati.
15 But I wrote more boldly to you, brothers, in part, as reminding you because of the grace that was given to me by God,
Vendar, bratje, zaradi milosti, ki mi je dana od Boga, sem vam napisal na nek način pogumneje, kakor da vas spomnim,
16 for me to be a minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, serving the good news of God like a priest, so that the offering up of the Gentiles might become acceptable, being sanctified in the Holy Spirit.
da naj bi bil jaz služabnik Jezusa Kristusa za pogane, ko služim Božjemu evangeliju, da bi bila daritev poganov, posvečena po Svetem Duhu, lahko sprejemljiva.
17 I have therefore a boast in Christ Jesus in things toward God.
Torej imam nekaj, s čimer se lahko po Jezusu Kristusu ponašam v teh stvareh, ki se nanašajo na Boga.
18 For I will not dare to speak anything of which Christ did not accomplish through me for the obedience of Gentiles, by word and work,
Kajti ne bom si drznil govoriti o katerikoli izmed tistih stvari, ki jih Kristus ni naredil po meni, da bi naredil pogane poslušne v besedi in dejanju,
19 in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of a Spirit of God, so that for me, from Jerusalem and all around as far as Illyricum, to fully preach the good news of Christ.
preko mogočnih znamenj in čudežev, po moči Božjega Duha; tako da sem od Jeruzalema in naokoli do Ilirika obširno oznanil Kristusov evangelij.
20 And thus having aspired to proclaim the good news not where Christ was already named, so that I would not build upon a foundation belonging to another man,
Da, tako sem si prizadeval, da ne oznanim evangelija, kjer je bil Kristus imenovan, da ne bi gradil na temelju drugega človeka,
21 but, as it is written, They will see to whom it was not reported about him, and they will understand who have not heard.
temveč kakor je pisano: ›Katerim ni bilo govorjeno, bodo videli; in tisti, ki niso slišali, bodo razumeli.‹
22 Therefore also, I was delayed these many times coming to you.
Zaradi tega razloga sem bil tudi sam zelo oviran, da pridem k vam.
23 But now, having no more place in these regions, and having a great desire from many years to come to you,
Toda sedaj, ko v teh krajih nimam več prostora in imam ta mnoga leta veliko željo, da pridem k vam;
24 whenever I go to Spain I will come to you. For I hope to see you while passing through, and there to be helped on the way by you, if first I may be partly satisfied from you.
kadarkoli se odpravim na svoje potovanje v Španijo, bom prišel k vam, kajti zaupam, da vas na svojem potovanju vidim in da bom na svoji poti tja priveden mimo vas, da bi bil najprej nekoliko izpolnjen z vašo druščino.
25 But now I am going to Jerusalem serving the sanctified.
Toda sedaj grem v Jeruzalem, da služim svetim.
26 For Macedonia and Achaia were pleased to make a certain participation for the poor of the sanctified at Jerusalem.
Kajti tem iz Makedonije in Ahaje je ugajalo, da zberejo nek prispevek za revne svete, ki so v Jeruzalemu.
27 For they were pleased. And they are debtors of them, for if the Gentiles were partakers in their spiritual things, they are obligated also to serve them in the carnal things.
To jih je resnično veselilo; in njihovi dolžniki so. Kajti če so pogani postali soudeleženi njihovih duhovnih stvari, je tudi njihova dolžnost, da jim služijo v mesenih stvareh.
28 Having therefore completed this, and having sealed this fruit for them, I will depart by you to Spain.
Ko bom torej to opravil in jim zapečatil ta sad, bom mimo vas prišel v Španijo.
29 And I know that when I come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of the good news of the Christ.
In prepričan sem, ko pridem k vam, da bom prišel v polnosti blagoslova Kristusovega evangelija.
30 Now I beseech you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to strive with me in prayers to God for me.
Sedaj vas rotim, bratje, zaradi Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa in zaradi ljubezni Duha, da se skupaj z menoj borite v svojih molitvah zame k Bogu;
31 So that I may be rescued from those who are disobedient in Judea, and that my service for Jerusalem may become acceptable to the sanctified,
da bom lahko rešen pred temi, ki v Judeji ne verujejo; in da bodo mojo službo, ki jo imam za Jeruzalem, sveti lahko sprejeli;
32 so that I may come to you in joy through the will of God, and be rested with you.
da bom lahko po Božji volji z veseljem prišel k vam in bom lahko skupaj z vami okrepčan.
33 And the God of peace is with you all. Truly.
Torej Bog miru bodi z vami vsemi. Amen.
