Romans 9
1 I say [the] truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience bearing witness with me in [the] Holy Spirit,
Istinu govorim tako mi Hrista, ne lažem, to mi svjedoèi savjest moja Duhom svetijem:
2 that I have great grief and uninterrupted pain in my heart,
Da mi je vrlo žao i srce me moje boli bez prestanka;
3 for I have wished, I myself, to be a curse from the Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen, according to flesh;
Jer bih željeo da ja sam budem odluèen od Hrista za braæu svoju koja su mi rod po tijelu,
4 who are Israelites; whose [is] the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the law-giving, and the service, and the promises;
Koja su Izrailjci, kojijeh je posinaštvo i slava, i zavjet i zakon, i bogomoljstvo, i obeæanja;
5 whose [are] the fathers; and of whom, as according to flesh, [is] the Christ, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Kojijeh su i oci, i od kojijeh je Hristos po tijelu, koji je nad svima Bog blagosloven vavijek. Amin. (aiōn g165)
6 Not however as though the word of God had failed; for not all [are] Israel which [are] of Israel;
A nije moguæe da rijeè Božija proðe: jer nijesu svi Izrailjci koji su od Izrailja;
7 nor because they are seed of Abraham [are] all children: but, In Isaac shall a seed be called to thee.
Niti su svi djeca koji su sjeme Avraamovo, nego u Isaku, reèe, nazvaæe ti se sjeme.
8 That is, [they that are] the children of the flesh, these [are] not the children of God; but the children of the promise are reckoned as seed.
To jest, nijesu ono djeca Božija što su po tijelu djeca, nego djeca obeæanja primaju se za sjeme.
9 For this word [is] of promise, According to this time I will come, and there shall be a son to Sarah.
Jer je ovo rijeè obeæanja: u ovo vrijeme doæi æu i u Sare æe biti sin.
10 And not only [that], but Rebecca having conceived by one, Isaac our father,
Ne samo pak ona nego i Reveka, kad zatrudnje od samoga Isaka oca našega.
11 [the children] indeed being not yet born, or having done anything good or worthless (that the purpose of God according to election might abide, not of works, but of him that calls),
Jer još dok se djeca ne bijahu rodila, ni uèinila dobra ni zla, da ostane Božija naredba po izboru,
12 it was said to her, The greater shall serve the less:
Ne za djela, nego onoga radi koji poziva reèe joj se: veæi æe služiti manjemu,
13 according as it is written, I have loved Jacob, and I have hated Esau.
Kao što stoji napisano: Jakov mi omilje, a na Isava omrzoh.
14 What shall we say then? [Is there] unrighteousness with God? Far be the thought.
Šta æemo dakle na to reæi? Eda li je nepravda u Boga? Bože saèuvaj!
15 For he says to Moses, I will shew mercy to whom I will shew mercy, and I will feel compassion for whom I will feel compassion.
Jer Mojsiju govori: koga æu pomilovati, pomilovaæu, i na koga æu se smilovati, smilovaæu se.
16 So then [it is] not of him that wills, nor of him that runs, but of God that shews mercy.
Tako dakle niti stoji do onoga koji hoæe, ni do onoga koji trèi, nego do Boga koji pomiluje.
17 For the scripture says to Pharaoh, For this very thing I have raised thee up from amongst [men], that I might thus shew in thee my power, and so that my name should be declared in all the earth.
Jer pismo govori Faraonu: za to te isto podigoh da na tebi pokažem silu svoju, i da se razglasi ime moje po svoj zemlji.
18 So then, to whom he will he shews mercy, and whom he will he hardens.
Tako dakle koga hoæe miluje, a koga hoæe otvrdoglavi.
19 Thou wilt say to me then, Why does he yet find fault? for who resists his purpose?
Reæi æeš mi: zašto nas još krivi? jer ko se može suprotiti volji njegovoj?
20 Aye, but thou, O man, who art thou that answerest again to God? Shall the thing formed say to him that has formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?
A ko si ti, o èovjeèe! da protivno odgovaraš Bogu? Eda li rukotvorina govori majstoru svome: zašto si me tako naèinio?
21 Or has not the potter authority over the clay, out of the same lump to make one vessel to honour, and another to dishonour?
Ili zar lonèar nema vlasti nad kalom da od jedne guke naèini jedan sud za èast a drugi za sramotu?
22 And if God, minded to shew his wrath and to make his power known, endured with much long-suffering vessels of wrath fitted for destruction;
A kad šæaše Bog da pokaže gnjev svoj i da objavi silu svoju, podnese s velikijem trpljenjem sudove gnjeva koji su pripravljeni za pogibao.
23 and that he might make known the riches of his glory upon vessels of mercy, which he had before prepared for glory,
I da pokaže bogatstvo slave svoje na sudima milosti koje pripravi za slavu;
24 us, whom he has also called, not only from amongst [the] Jews, but also from amongst [the] nations?
Koje nas i dozva ne samo od Jevreja nego i od neznabožaca,
25 As he says also in Hosea, I will call not-my-people My people; and the-not-beloved Beloved.
Kao što i u Josiji govori: nazvaæu narod svojijem koji nije moj narod, i neljubaznicu ljubaznicom.
26 And it shall be, in the place where it was said to them, Ye [are] not my people, there shall they be called Sons of [the] living God.
I biæe na mjestu, gdje im se reèe: vi nijeste moj narod; tamo æe se nazvati sinovi Boga živoga.
27 But Esaias cries concerning Israel, Should the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, the remnant shall be saved:
A Isaija vièe za Izrailja: ako bude broj sinova Izrailjevijeh kao pijesak morski, ostatak æe se spasti.
28 for [he] is bringing the matter to an end, and [cutting [it] short in righteousness; because] a cutting short of the matter will [the] Lord accomplish upon the earth.
Jer æe on izvršiti rijeè svoju, i naskoro æe izvršiti po pravdi, da, ispuniæe Gospod naskoro rijeè svoju na zemlji.
29 And according as Esaias said before, Unless [the] Lord of hosts had left us a seed, we had been as Sodom, and made like even as Gomorrha.
I kao što proreèe Isaija: da nam nije Gospod Savaot ostavio sjemena, onda bismo bili kao Sodom i Gomor.
30 What then shall we say? That [they of the] nations, who did not follow after righteousness, have attained righteousness, but [the] righteousness that is on the principle of faith.
Šta æemo dakle reæi? Da neznabošci koji ne tražiše pravde dokuèiše pravdu, ali pravdu od vjere.
31 But Israel, pursuing after a law of righteousness, has not attained to [that] law.
A Izrailj tražeæi zakon pravde ne dokuèi zakona pravde.
32 Wherefore? Because [it was] not on the principle of faith, but as of works. They have stumbled at the stumblingstone,
Zašto? Jer ne traži iz vjere nego iz djela zakona; jer se spotakoše na kamen spoticanja,
33 according as it is written, Behold, I place in Zion a stone of stumbling and rock of offence: and he that believes on him shall not be ashamed.
Kao što stoji napisano: evo meæem u Sionu kamen spoticanja i stijenu sablazni; i koji ga god vjeruje neæe se postidjeti.
