Romans 11
1 I say then, Has 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 has not cast away his people which he foreknew. Know all of you not what the scripture says of Elijah? how he makes intercession to God against Israel saying,
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 killed your prophets, and dug down your 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 says the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of 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 according to the election of grace.
Tako je torej tudi v sedanjem času ostanek po izbiri milosti.
6 And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then it is no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
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? Israel has not obtained that which he seeks for; but the election has obtained it, and the rest were blinded.
Kaj torej? Česar je iskal Izrael, tega ni dobil, a izbira je dobila, drugi pa so bili zaslepljeni,
8 (According as it is written, God has given them the spirit (pneuma) of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear; ) unto this 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 says, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumbling block, and a recompence 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 stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation has come unto the Gentiles, in order to provoke them to jealousy.
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 fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fullness?
Če je pa njih pregreha bogastvo za svet in njih izguba bogastvo za pogane, koliko bolje njih polnost!
13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:
Kajti vam poganom govorim, in dokler sem jaz apostelj poganov, hvalim svojo službo,
14 If by any means I may provoke to awaken jealousy in them which are my flesh, and might save some of them.
Ne bi li kako na posnemanje razdražil svoje meso in zveličal ktere izmed njih;
15 For if the casting away of them be the reconciling 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 first-fruit be holy, the lump is also holy: 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 off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and with them partake of the root and 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 you boast, you bear not the root, but the root you.
Ne hvali se z vejami; če pa hvališ, ne nosiš ti korenine, nego korenina tebe.
19 You will 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, and you stand by faith. Be not high-minded, but fear:
Dobro, za voljo nevere so se odlomile, ti pa z vero stojiš. Ne prevzetuj, nego boj se.
21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not you.
Ker če Bog naravnim vejam ni prizanesel, da tudi tebi kako ne prizanese.
22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in his goodness: otherwise you also shall 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 you were cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and were grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be 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, brethren, that all of you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest all of you should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles be 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 shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, 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 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
In to jim je od mene zaveza, kedar odvzamem njih grehe."
28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as concerning the election, they are beloved for the father's sakes.
Poleg evangelja so sicer sovražniki za voljo vas, a poleg izbire so ljubljenci za voljo očetov.
29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
Kajti brez kesanja so darovi in klicanje Božje,
30 For as all of you in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:
Ker kakor tudi vi nekdaj niste verjeli Bogu, a sedaj ste usmiljenje dobili po njih neveri;
31 Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy 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 both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
O globočina bogastva in modrosti in znanja Božjega! kako neizvedljive so njegove sodbe in kako nezasledljive njegove poti!
34 For who has known the mind of the Lord? or who has been his counsellor?
Kajti: "kdo je spoznal misel Gospodovo?"
35 Or who has first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?
Ali: "kdo je bil njemu svetovalec?" Ali: "kdo je njemu naprej dal, ter mu se bo nazaj dajalo?"
