Romans 11
1 I Demaund then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid: for I also am an Israelite, of the seede of Abraham, of the tribe of Beniamin.
Pitam dakle: Zar je Bog odbacio narod svoj? Nipošto? Ta i ja sam Izraelac, iz potomstva Abrahamova, plemena Benjaminova.
2 God hath not cast away his people which he knew before. Know ye not what the Scripture sayth of Elias, howe hee communeth with God against Israel, saying,
Nije Bog odbacio naroda svojega koga predvidje. Ili zar ne znate što veli Pismo, ono o Iliji - kako se tuži Bogu na Izraela:
3 Lord, they haue killed thy Prophets, and digged downe thine altars: and I am left alone, and they seeke my life?
Gospode, proroke tvoje pobiše, žrtvenike tvoje porušiše; ja ostadoh sam i još mi o glavi rade.
4 But what saith the answere of God to him? I haue reserued vnto my selfe seuen thousand men, which haue not bowed the knee to Baal.
Pa što mu veli Božji glas? Ostavih sebi sedam tisuća ljudi koji ne prignuše koljena pred Baalom.
5 Euen so then at this present time is there a remnant according to the election of grace.
Tako dakle i u sadašnje vrijeme postoji Ostatak po milosnom izboru.
6 And if it be of grace, it is no more of workes: or els were grace no more grace: but if it be of workes, it is no more grace: or els were worke no more worke.
Ako pak po milosti, nije po djelima; inače milost nije više milost!
7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that he sought: but the election hath obteined it, and the rest haue bene hardened,
Što dakle? Što Izrael ište, to nije postigao, ali izabrani postigoše. Ostali pak otvrdnuše,
8 According as it is written, God hath giuen them the spirit of slumber: eyes that they should not see, and eares that they should not heare vnto this day.
kao što je pisano: Dade im Bog duh obamrlosti, oči da ne vide, uši da ne čuju sve do dana današnjega.
9 And Dauid sayth, Let their table be made a snare, and a net, and a stumbling blocke, euen for a recompence vnto them.
I David veli: Nek im stol pred njima bude zamkom, i mrežom, i stupicom, i plaćom.
10 Let their eyes be darkened that they see not, and bowe downe their backe alwayes.
Nek im potamne oči da ne vide i leđa im zauvijek pogni!
11 I demaund then, Haue they stumbled, that they should fall? God forbid: but through their fall, saluation commeth vnto the Gentiles, to prouoke them to follow them.
Pitam dakle: jesu li posrnuli da propadnu? Nipošto! Naprotiv: po njihovu posrtaju spasenje poganima da se tako oni, Židovi, izazovu na ljubomor.
12 Wherefore if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles, how much more shall their aboundance be?
Pa ako je njihov posrtaj bogatstvo za svijet, i njihovo smanjenje bogatstvo za pogane, koliko li će više to biti njihov puni broj?
13 For in that I speake to you Gentiles, in as much as I am the Apostle of ye Gentiles, I magnifie mine office,
Vama pak, poganima, velim: ja kao apostol pogana službu svoju proslavljam
14 To trie if by any meanes I might prouoke them of my flesh to follow them, and might saue some of them.
ne bih li na ljubomor izazvao njih, tijelo svoje, i spasio neke od njih.
15 For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiuing be, but life from the dead?
Jer ako je njihovo odbačenje izmirenje svijeta, što li će biti njihovo prihvaćanje ako ne oživljenje od mrtvih?
16 For if the first fruites be holy, so is the whole lumpe: and if the roote be holy, so are the branches.
Ako li su prvine svete, sveto je i tijesto; ako li je korijen svet, svete su i grane.
17 And though some of the branches be broken off, and thou being a wilde Oliue tree, wast graft in for them, and made partaker of the roote, and fatnesse of the Oliue tree.
Pa ako su neke grane odlomljene, a ti, divlja maslina, pricijepljen umjesto njih, postao suzajedničar korijena, sočnosti masline,
18 Boast not thy selfe against the branches: and if thou boast thy selfe, thou bearest not the roote, but the roote thee.
ne uznosi se nad grane. Ako li se hoćeš uznositi - ne nosiš ti korijena, nego korijen tebe.
19 Thou wilt say then, The branches are broken off, that I might be graft in.
Reći ćeš na to: grane su odlomljene da se ja pricijepim.
20 Well: through vnbeliefe they are broken off, and thou standest by faith: bee not hie minded, but feare.
Dobro! Oni su zbog nevjere odlomljeni, a ti po vjeri stojiš. Ne uznosi se, nego strahuj!
21 For if God spared not the naturall branches, take heede, least he also spare not thee.
Jer ako Bog ne poštedje prirodnih grana, ni tebe neće poštedjeti.
22 Beholde therefore the bountifulnesse, and seueritie of God: towarde them which haue fallen, seueritie: but toward thee, bountifulnesse, if thou continue in his bountifulnesse: or els thou shalt also be cut off.
Promotri dakle dobrotu i strogost Božju: strogost na palima, a dobrotu Božju na sebi ako ostaneš u toj dobroti, inače ćeš i ti biti odsječen.
23 And they also, if they abide not still in vnbeliefe, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graffe them in againe.
A i oni, ako ne ostanu u nevjeri, bit će pricijepljeni; ta moćan je Bog da ih opet pricijepi.
24 For if thou wast cut out of the Oliue tree, which was wilde by nature, and wast graffed contrary to nature in a right Oliue tree, how much more shall they that are by nature, bee graffed in their owne Oliue tree?
Doista, ako si ti, po naravi divlja maslina, odsječen pa mimo narav pricijepljen na pitomu maslinu, koliko li će lakše oni po naravi biti pricijepljeni na vlastitu maslinu!
25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this secret (least ye should bee arrogant in your selues) that partly obstinacie is come to Israel, vntill the fulnesse of the Gentiles be come in.
Jer ne bih htio, braćo, da budete sami po sebi pametni, a da ne znate ovo otajstvo: djelomično je otvrdnuće zadesilo Izraela dok punina pogana ne uđe.
26 And so all Israel shalbe saued, as it is written, The deliuerer shall come out of Sion, and shall turne away the vngodlinesse from Iacob.
I tako će se cio Izrael spasiti, kako je pisano: Doći će sa Siona Otkupitelj, odvratit će bezbožnost od Jakova.
27 And this is my couenant to them, When I shall take away their sinnes.
I to će biti moj Savez s njima, kad uklonim grijehe njihove.
28 As concerning the Gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloued for the fathers sakes.
U pogledu evanđelja oni su, istina, protivnici poradi vas, ali u pogledu izabranja oni su ljubimci poradi otaca.
29 For the giftes and calling of God are without repentance.
Ta neopozivi su dari i poziv Božji!
30 For euen as yee in times past haue not beleeued God, yet haue nowe obteined mercie through their vnbeliefe:
Doista, kao što vi nekoć bijaste neposlušni Bogu, a sada po njihovoj neposlušnosti zadobiste milosrđe
31 Euen so nowe haue they not beleeued by the mercie shewed vnto you, that they also may obtaine mercie.
tako i oni sada po milosrđu vama iskazanu postadoše neposlušni da i oni sada zadobiju milosrđe.
Jer Bog je sve zatvorio u neposlušnost da se svima smiluje. (eleēsē g1653)
33 O the deepenesse of the riches, both of the wisdome, and knowledge of God! howe vnsearcheable are his iudgements, and his wayes past finding out!
O dubino bogatstva, i mudrosti, i spoznanja Božjega! Kako li su nedokučivi sudovi i neistraživi putovi njegovi!
34 For who hath knowen the minde of the Lord? or who was his counsellour?
Doista, tko spozna misao Gospodnju, tko li mu bi savjetnikom?
35 Or who hath giuen vnto him first, and he shalbe recompensed?
Ili: tko ga darom preteče da bi mu se uzvratiti moralo?
