Romans 4
1 What then will we say Abraham, our father according to flesh, to have found?
Kaj bomo torej rekli, da je našel Abraham, naš oče, kar se nanaša na meso?
2 For if Abraham was made righteous from works, he has a boast, but not before God.
Kajti če bi bil Abraham opravičen po delih, bi se imel s čim ponašati; toda ne pred Bogom.
3 For what does the scripture say? And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness.
Kajti kaj pravi pismo? Abraham je verjel Bogu in to mu je bilo šteto za pravičnost.
4 Now to the man being employed, the wage is not reckoned according to grace, but according to obligation.
Torej tistemu, ki dela, nagrada ni šteta po milosti, temveč po dolgu.
5 But to the man not being employed, but who believes in him who makes the impious man righteous, his faith is reckoned for righteousness.
Toda tistemu, ki ne dela, temveč veruje v tistega, ki opravičuje brezbožnega, je njegova vera šteta za pravičnost.
6 Just as David also tells the blessedness of the man to whom God imputes righteousness independent of works,
Celo kakor tudi David opisuje blaženost človeka, ki mu Bog pripisuje pravičnost brez del,
7 saying, Blessed are those whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
rekoč: ›Blagoslovljeni so tisti, katerih krivičnosti so odpuščene in katerih grehi so pokriti.
8 Blessed is a man to whom the Lord does, no, not impute sin.
Blagoslovljen je človek, ki mu Gospod ne bo pripisal greha.‹
9 Is this blessedness therefore upon men of circumcision, or also upon men of uncircumcision? For we say, Faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.
Prihaja potem ta blaženost samo na obrezo ali tudi na neobrezo? Kajti pravimo, da je bila vera Abrahamu šteta za pravičnost.
10 How then was it reckoned? When he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
Kako je bila potem šteta? Ko je bil v obrezi ali v neobrezi? Ne v obrezi, temveč [ko je bil] v neobrezi.
11 And he received the sign of circumcision, as a seal of the righteousness of his faith during uncircumcision, for him to be father of all those who believe during uncircumcision (for righteousness to also be imputed to them),
In ko je bil še neobrezan, je prejel znamenje obreze, pečat pravičnosti vere, ki jo je imel, da bi bil lahko oče vseh teh, ki verujejo, čeprav niso obrezani, da bi bila lahko tudi njim pripisana pravičnost;
12 and father of those of circumcision, to those not only of circumcision, but also to those who march in the steps of faith-of that during the uncircumcision of our father Abraham.
in oče obrezanih, teh, ki niso samo iz obreze, temveč ki tudi hodijo po stopinjah tiste vere našega očeta Abrahama, ki jo je imel, ko je bil še neobrezan.
13 For the promise to Abraham or to his seed, for him to be heir of the world, was not through law, but through a righteousness of faith.
Kajti obljuba, da naj bi bil dedič sveta, ni bila [dana] Abrahamu ali njegovemu semenu preko postave, temveč preko pravičnosti iz vere.
14 For if those from law are heirs, faith has been made void, and the promise has been made useless.
Kajti če bodo dediči tisti, ki so iz postave, je vera ničeva in obljuba brez učinka;
15 For the law works wrath. For where there is no law, neither is there transgression.
zato ker postava povzroča bes; kajti kjer ni nobene postave, tam ni prestopka.
16 Because of this it is from faith, so that it is according to grace, in order for the promise to be sure to all the seed, not only to the seed from the law, but also to the seed from the faith of Abraham, who is father of us all
Torej je to iz vere, da bi bilo lahko po milosti; z namenom, da bi bila obljuba lahko zanesljiva vsemu semenu; ne samo temu, ki je iz postave, temveč tudi temu, ki je iz Abrahamove vere, ki je oče nas vseh,
17 (as it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations), before him whom he believed, of God who makes the dead alive, and who calls things not existing, as existing.
(kakor je pisano: ›Naredil sem te za očeta mnogih narodov‹) pred njim, ki mu je veroval, celó [pred] Bogom, ki oživlja mrtve in kliče te stvari, ki niso, kakor da bi bile.
18 Who, against hope, believed in hope, in order for him to become father of many nations according to that which was spoken, So thy seed will be.
Ki je proti upanju veroval v upanje, da bi lahko postal oče mnogih narodov; glede na to, kar je bilo spregovorjeno: ›Takšno bo tvoje seme.‹
19 And not being weak in faith he did not regard his body, which was now deadened (being about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah's womb.
In ker ni bil slaboten v veri, ko je bil star okoli sto let, svojega lastnega telesa torej ni imel za mrtvega niti ne še omrtvelost Sarine maternice.
20 And he did not waver in unbelief at the promise of God, but became strong in faith, giving glory to God,
Ob Božji obljubi ni okleval zaradi nevere, temveč je bil močan v veri in dal slavo Bogu;
21 and being fully assured that what he promised, he was able also to perform.
in je bil popolnoma prepričan, da kar je on obljubil, je zmožen tudi izpolniti.
22 And therefore it was reckoned to him for righteousness.
Zato mu je bilo to šteto za pravičnost.
23 Now it was not written because of him alone that it was imputed to him,
Torej, da mu je bilo šteto, to ni bilo napisano samo zaradi njega,
24 but also because of us to whom it is going to be imputed, to those who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,
temveč tudi zaradi nas, ki nam bo šteto, če verujemo v tistega, ki je obudil našega Gospoda Jezusa od mrtvih;
25 who was delivered up for our offenses, and was raised up for our justification.
ki je bil izročen zaradi naših prestopkov in je bil ponovno obujen zaradi našega opravičenja.
