Romans 9
1 I say the trueth in Christ, I lye not, my conscience bearing mee witnes in the holy Ghost,
Resnico govorim v Kristusu, ne lažem, to mi spričuje moja vest v duhu svetem,
2 That I haue great heauinesse, and continuall sorow in mine heart.
Da imam veliko žalost in neprenehano bolečino v svojem srcu.
3 For I woulde wish my selfe to be separate from Christ, for my brethren that are my kinsemen according to the flesh,
Kajti želel bi, da bi bil sam jaz preklet od Kristusa za svoje brate, kteri so mi v rodu po mesu;
4 Which are the Israelites, to whome perteineth the adoption, and the glory, and the Couenants, and the giuing of the Lawe, and the seruice of God, and the promises.
Kteri so Izraelci, kterih je posinstvo, in slava, in zaveze, in postavodajstvo, in služba, in obljube,
5 Of whome are the fathers, and of whome concerning the flesh, Christ came, who is God ouer all, blessed for euer, Amen. (aiōn g165)
Kteri so očetje, in od kterih je Kristus po mesu, kteri je Bog nad vsemi blagoslovljen na veke. Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 Notwithstanding it can not bee that the worde of God should take none effect: for all they are not Israel, which are of Israel:
Ni pa tako, da je beseda Božja izgubljena, ker niso vsi ti Izraelci, kteri so od Izraela.
7 Neither are they all children, because they are the seede of Abraham: but, In Isaac shall thy seede be called:
Tudi kteri so seme Abrahamovo, niso vsi otroci, nego: "Izaku se ti bo imenovalo seme."
8 That is, they which are the children of the flesh, are not the children of God: but the children of the promise, are counted for the seede.
To je, niso ti, kteri so otroci mesa, otroci Božji, nego otroci obljube računijo se za seme.
9 For this is a worde of promise, In this same time wil I come, and Sara shall haue a sonne.
Kajti beseda obljube je ta: "Ta čas bom prišel in Sara bo imela sina."
10 Neither he onely felt this, but also Rebecca when shee had conceiued by one, euen by our father Isaac.
Pa ne samo ona, nego tudi Rebeka, z enim imajoč otroke, z Izakom očetom našim;
11 For yer the children were borne, and when they had neither done good, nor euill (that the purpose of God might remaine according to election, not by workes, but by him that calleth)
Kajti ko se še nista narodila, tudi ne storila kaj dobrega ali hudega, da bi ostal sklep Božji poleg izbire,
12 It was said vnto her, The elder shall serue the yonger.
Ne za voljo del, nego za voljo tistega, kteri kliče, reklo se jej je: "Veči bo služil manjšemu."
13 As it is written, I haue loued Iacob, and haue hated Esau.
Kakor je pisano: "Jakoba sem ljubil, a Ezava sovražil."
14 What shall wee say then? Is there vnrighteousnes with God? God forbid.
Kaj torej porečemo? krivica je pri Bogu? Bog ne daj!
15 For he saith to Moses, I wil haue mercy on him, to whom I wil shew mercie: and wil haue compassion on him, on who I wil haue copassion.
Kajti Mojzesu govori: "Pomiloval bom, kogar pomilujem, in usmilil se ga bom, kogar se usmiljujem."
16 So then it is not in him that willeth, nor in him that runneth, but in God that sheweth mercy.
To torej ni v moči ne tega, kteri hoče, ne tega, kteri ne če, nego Boga, kteri pomiluje.
17 For the Scripture saith vnto Pharao, For this same purpose haue I stirred thee vp, that I might shewe my power in thee, and that my Name might be declared throughout al the earth.
Kajti pismo govori Faraonu: "Za to sem te obudil, da pokažem na tebi svojo moč, in da se oznani moje ime po vsej zemlji."
18 Therefore he hath mercie on whome he will, and whom he will, he hardeneth.
Tako torej, kogar hoče, pomiluje, a kogar hoče, trdi.
19 Thou wilt say then vnto me, Why doeth he yet complaine? for who hath resisted his will?
Porečeš mi torej; kaj se še toži? kdo njegovej volji nasprotuje?
20 But, O man, who art thou which pleadest against God? shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?
Ali kdo si ti, o človek, kteri se z Bogom pregovarjaš? poreče li izdelek izdelovalcu: za kaj si me naredil tako?
21 Hath not the potter power of the clay to make of the same lumpe one vessell to honour, and another vnto dishonour?
Nima li oblasti lončar nad glino, da iz ravno tiste grude naredi eno posodo za čast, a drugo za nečast?
22 What and if God would, to shewe his wrath, and to make his power knowen, suffer with long patience the vessels of wrath, prepared to destruction?
Če je Bog hotel pokazati jezo in razglasiti svojo moč, prenesel je v velikej potrpljivosti posode jeze pripravljene za pogubo.
23 And that hee might declare the riches of his glory vpon the vessels of mercy, which hee hath prepared vnto glory?
In da bi razglasil bogastvo slave svoje na posodah usmiljenja, ktere je naprej pripravil za zlavo,
24 Euen vs whome hee hath called, not of of the Iewes onely, but also of the Gentiles,
Ktere nas je tudi poklical ne samo izmed Judov, nego tudi izmed poganov;
25 As he sayth also in Osee, I will call them, My people, which were not my people: and her, Beloued, which was not beloued.
(Kakor tudi pri Oseji pravi: "Imenoval bom ne moje ljudstvo svoje ljudstvo, in ne ljubico ljubico."
26 And it shalbe in the place where it was said vnto them, Ye are not my people, that there they shalbe called, The children of the liuing God.
In bode, na mestu, kjer se jim je reklo: "Niste moj narod vi, tam se bodo imenovali sinovi Boga živega."
27 Also Esaias cryeth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel were as the sand of the sea, yet shall but a remnant be saued.
Izaija pa vpije nad Izraelom: "Ko bi bilo število sinov Izraelovih kolikor morskega peska, ostanek se bo zveličal."
28 For he wil make his account, and gather it into a short summe with righteousnes: for the Lord will make a short count in the earth.
Kajti besedo je dokončeval in skrajševal v pravici, da bo besedo skrajšano storil Gospod na zemlji."
29 And as Esaias sayde before, Except the Lord of hostes had left vs a seede, we had bene made as Sodom, and had bene like to Gomorrha.
In kakor je najprej povedal Izaija: "Ko bi Gospod: Sabaot, ne bil pustil nam semena, kakor Sodoma bili bi postali in Gomori podobni.")
30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles which folowed not righteousnes, haue attained vnto righteousnes, euen the righteousnes which is of faith.
Kaj torej porečemo? da so pogani, kteri niso iskali pravice, dobili pravico, ali pravico, ktera je iz vere;
31 But Israel which followed the Lawe of righteousnes, could not arteine vnto the Law of righteousnes.
A Izrael iskajoč postavo pravice na postavo pravice ni zadel?
32 Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the workes of the Lawe: for they haue stumbled at the stumbling stone,
Za voljo česa? ker ni iz vere, nego kakor iz del pravice; kajti spotaknili so se ob kamen spotike,
33 As it is written, Beholde, I lay in Sion a stumbling stone, and a rocke to make men fall: and euery one that beleeueth in him, shall not be ashamed.
Kakor je pisano: Glej, polagam v Sionu kamen spotike in skalo pohujšanja; in kdorkoli veruje v njega, osramotil se ne bo.
