Romans 15
1 Now we who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
Torej moramo mi, ki smo močni, prenašati slabotnosti šibkih, ne pa da ugajamo sebi.
2 Let each one of us please his neighbor for that which is good, to be building him up.
Naj vsak izmed nas ugaja svojemu bližnjemu v njegovo dobro, za izgrajevanje.
3 For even Christ did not please himself. But, as it is written, “The reproaches of those who reproached you fell on me.”
Kajti celó Kristus ni ugajal sebi; temveč, kakor je pisano: ›Graje teh, ki so te grajali, so padle name.‹
4 For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that through perseverance and through 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 the God of perseverance and of encouragement grant you to be of the same mind with one another according to Christ Jesus,
Naj vam torej Bog potrpežljivosti in tolažbe zagotovi, da boste istih misli drug do drugega glede na Kristusa Jezusa;
6 that with one accord you may with one mouth 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 accept one another, even as Christ also accepted you, to the glory of God.
Zatorej sprejemajte drug drugega, kakor je tudi Kristus nas sprejel v Božjo slavo.
8 Now I say that Christ has been made a servant of the circumcision for the truth of God, that he might confirm the promises given to the fathers,
Torej pravim, da je bil Jezus Kristus služabnik obreze za Božjo resnico, da potrdi obljube, narejene očetom,
9 and that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written, “Therefore I will give praise to you among the Gentiles and sing to your 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 Again he says, “Rejoice, you Gentiles, with his people.”
In ponovno pravi: ›Veselite se, vi pogani, z njegovimi ljudmi.‹
11 Again, “Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles! Let all the peoples praise him.”
In ponovno: ›Hvalíte Gospoda, vsi pogani; in povzdigujte ga vsi ljudje.‹
12 Again, Isaiah says, “There will be the root of Jesse, he who arises to rule over the Gentiles; in him the 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, that you may 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 I myself am also persuaded about you, my brothers, that you yourselves are 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 write the more boldly to you 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 that I should be a servant of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles, serving as a priest of the Good News of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be made acceptable, sanctified by 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 my boasting in Christ Jesus in things pertaining to 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 of any things except those which Christ worked through me for the obedience of the Gentiles, by word and deed,
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 God’s Spirit; so that from Jerusalem and around as far as to Illyricum, I have fully preached 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 yes, making it my aim to preach the Good News, not where Christ was already named, that I might not build on another’s foundation.
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 no news of him came. They who have not heard will understand.”
temveč kakor je pisano: ›Katerim ni bilo govorjeno, bodo videli; in tisti, ki niso slišali, bodo razumeli.‹
22 Therefore also I was hindered these many times from coming to you,
Zaradi tega razloga sem bil tudi sam zelo oviran, da pridem k vam.
23 but now, no longer having any place in these regions, and having these many years a longing 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 travel to Spain, I will come to you. For I hope to see you on my journey, and to be helped on my way there by you, if first I may enjoy your company for a while.
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 say, I am going to Jerusalem, serving the saints.
Toda sedaj grem v Jeruzalem, da služim svetim.
26 For it has been the good pleasure of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor among the saints who are at Jerusalem.
Kajti tem iz Makedonije in Ahaje je ugajalo, da zberejo nek prispevek za revne svete, ki so v Jeruzalemu.
27 Yes, it has been their good pleasure, and they are their debtors. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, they owe it to them also to serve them in material 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 When therefore I have accomplished this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will go on by way of you to Spain.
Ko bom torej to opravil in jim zapečatil ta sad, bom mimo vas prišel v Španijo.
29 I know that when I come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of the Good News of Christ.
In prepričan sem, ko pridem k vam, da bom prišel v polnosti blagoslova Kristusovega evangelija.
30 Now I beg you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, that you strive together with me in your 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 that I may be delivered from those who are disobedient in Judea, and that my service which I have for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints,
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 that I may come to you in joy through the will of God, and together with you, find rest.
da bom lahko po Božji volji z veseljem prišel k vam in bom lahko skupaj z vami okrepčan.
33 Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
Torej Bog miru bodi z vami vsemi. Amen.
