Romans 11
1 I say then: Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
Pravim torej: Jeli Bog zavrgel, ljudstvo svoje? Bog ne daj! kajti tudi jaz sem Izraelec, iz semena Abrahamovega, iz rodu Benjaminovega.
2 God hath not cast away his people, which he foreknew. Know you not what the scripture saith of Elias; how he calleth on God against Israel?
Ni zavrgel Bog ljudstva svojega, kterega je najprej spoznal. Jeli ne veste, kaj pravi za Elija pismo? kakor se toži Bogu na Izraela govoreč:
3 Lord, they have slain thy prophets, they have dug down thy altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.
"Gospod, preroke tvoje so poubili in oltare tvoje so razkopali, in jaz sem ostal sam in iščejo dušo mojo."
4 But what saith the divine answer to him? I have left me seven thousand men, that have not bowed their knees to Baal.
Ali kaj pravi njemu Božji odgovor? "Pustil sem sebi sedem tisoč mož, kteri niso pripognili kolena pred Baalom."
5 Even so then at this present time also, there is a remnant saved according to the election of grace.
Tako je torej tudi v sedanjem času ostanek po izbiri milosti.
6 And if by grace, it is not now by works: otherwise grace is no more grace.
Če pa iz milosti, ni več iz del, kajti bi milost več ne bila milost; a če iz del, več ni milost, kajti bi delo več ne bilo delo.
7 What then? That which Israel sought, he hath not obtained: but the election hath obtained it; and the rest have been blinded.
Kaj torej? Česar je iskal Izrael, tega ni dobil, a izbira je dobila, drugi pa so bili zaslepljeni,
8 As it is written: God hath given them the spirit of insensibility; eyes that they should not see; and ears that they should not hear, until this present day.
(Kakor je pisano: "Dal jim je Bog duha brljavega, oči, da ne vidijo, in ušesa, da ne slišijo, ) noter do današnjega dné.
9 And David saith: Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumbling block, and a recompense unto them.
In David pravi: "Postane naj jim njih miza za zanjko in za lov, in za pohujšanje in za povračilo;
10 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see: and bow down their back always.
Potamné naj njih oči, da ne vidijo, in njih hrbet čisto upogni."
11 I say then, have they so stumbled, that they should fall? God forbid. But by their offence, salvation is come to the Gentiles, that they may be emulous of them.
Pravim torej: Jeli so se spotaknili, da padejo? Bog ne daj! nego od njih pregrehe je zveličanje za pogane, da bi jih na posnemanje razdražili.
12 Now if the offence of them be the riches of the world, and the diminution of them, the riches of the Gentiles; how much more the fulness of them?
Če je pa njih pregreha bogastvo za svet in njih izguba bogastvo za pogane, koliko bolje njih polnost!
13 For I say to you, Gentiles: as long indeed as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I will honour my ministry,
Kajti vam poganom govorim, in dokler sem jaz apostelj poganov, hvalim svojo službo,
14 If, by any means, I may provoke to emulation them who are my flesh, and may save some of them.
Ne bi li kako na posnemanje razdražil svoje meso in zveličal ktere izmed njih;
15 For if the loss of them be the reconciliation of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?
Ker če je njih zavrženje sprava sveta, kaj bi bilo sprejetje, če ne življenje iz mrtvih?
16 For if the firstfruit be holy, so is the lump also: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.
Če je pa prvina sveta, tudi je testo, in če je korenina sveta, tudi so veje.
17 And if some of the branches be broken, and thou, being a wild olive, art ingrafted in them, and art made partaker of the root, and of the fatness of the olive tree,
Če so se pa nektere veje odlomile, a ti, ker si bil divja olika, vcepil si se na nje in postal sodeležnik olikove korenine in tolšče,
18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
Ne hvali se z vejami; če pa hvališ, ne nosiš ti korenine, nego korenina tebe.
19 Thou wilt say then: The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.
Porečeš torej: Odlomile so se veje, da bi se jaz vcepil.
20 Well: because of unbelief they were broken off. But thou standest by faith: be not highminded, but fear.
Dobro, za voljo nevere so se odlomile, ti pa z vero stojiš. Ne prevzetuj, nego boj se.
21 For if God hath not spared the natural branches, fear lest perhaps he also spare not thee.
Ker če Bog naravnim vejam ni prizanesel, da tudi tebi kako ne prizanese.
22 See then the goodness and the severity of God: towards them indeed that are fallen, the severity; but towards thee, the goodness of God, if thou abide in goodness, otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
Glej torej dobroto in ostrost Božjo: nad temi, kteri so padli, ostrost, a nad teboj dobroto, če ostaneš v dobroti; če ne, tudi ti boš posekan.
23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again.
A oni, če ne ostanejo v neveri, vcepili se bodo, kajti Bog je mogoč zopet jih vcepiti.
24 For if thou wert cut out of the wild olive tree, which is natural to thee; and, contrary to nature, were grafted into the good olive tree; how much more shall they that are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?
Kajti če si ti odsekan od olike po naravi divje in si se vcepil proti naravi na pravo oliko, koliko bolje ti le, kteri se bodo vcepili na lastno oliko?
25 For I would not have you ignorant, brethren, of this mystery, (lest you should be wise in your own conceits), that blindness in part has happened in Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles should come in.
Kajti ne čem, da bi vi, bratje, ne vedeli skrivnosti, (da bi ne bili sami v sebi razumni, ) da je trdokornost Izraela deloma zadela, dokler ne vnide polnost poganov.
26 And so all Israel should be saved, as it is written: There shall come out of Sion, he that shall deliver, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob.
In tako se bo zveličal ves Izrael, kakor je pisano: "Prišel bo iz Siona rešitelj in odvrnil nepobožnost od Jakoba;
27 And this is to them my covenant: when I shall take away their sins.
In to jim je od mene zaveza, kedar odvzamem njih grehe."
28 As concerning the gospel, indeed, they are enemies for your sake: but as touching the election, they are most dear for the sake of the fathers.
Poleg evangelja so sicer sovražniki za voljo vas, a poleg izbire so ljubljenci za voljo očetov.
29 For the gifts and the calling of God are without repentance.
Kajti brez kesanja so darovi in klicanje Božje,
30 For as you also in times past did not believe God, but now have obtained mercy, through their unbelief;
Ker kakor tudi vi nekdaj niste verjeli Bogu, a sedaj ste usmiljenje dobili po njih neveri;
31 So these also now have not believed, for your mercy, that they also may obtain mercy.
Tako tudi ti sedaj niso verjeli, po vašem usmiljenji da bi tudi oni usmiljenje dobili.
Kajti zaprl je Bog vse v neverstvo, da bi se vseh usmilil. (eleēsē g1653)
33 O the depth of the riches of the wisdom and of the knowledge of God! How incomprehensible are his judgments, and how unsearchable his ways!
O globočina bogastva in modrosti in znanja Božjega! kako neizvedljive so njegove sodbe in kako nezasledljive njegove poti!
34 For who hath known the mind of the Lord? Or who hath been his counsellor?
Kajti: "kdo je spoznal misel Gospodovo?"
35 Or who hath first given to him, and recompense shall be made him?
Ali: "kdo je bil njemu svetovalec?" Ali: "kdo je njemu naprej dal, ter mu se bo nazaj dajalo?"
