Romans 13
1 Let every soul be subject to the higher authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and the authorities existing are appointed by God,
Vsaka duša naj se višim oblastim podlaga, kajti ni oblasti razen od Boga, in te oblasti, ktere so, postavljene so od Boga.
2 so that he who is setting himself against the authority, has resisted against God’s ordinance; and those resisting will receive judgment to themselves.
In tako, kdor se ustavlja oblasti, ustavlja se naredbi Božjej, a kteri se ustavljajo, sebi bodo obsojenje prejeli.
3 For those ruling are not a terror to the good works, but to the evil; and do you wish to not be afraid of the authority? Be doing that which is good, and you will have praise from it,
Kajti poglavarji niso strah dobrih del, nego hudih. Hočeš pa ne bati se oblasti? Dobro delaj, imel boš hvalo od nje;
4 for it is a servant of God to you for good; and if you may do that which is evil, be fearing, for it does not bear the sword in vain; for it is a servant of God, an avenger for wrath to him who is doing that which is evil.
Kajti Božji služabnik je tebi na dobro. Če pa hudo delaš, boj se; kajti zastonj meča ne nosi, ker je Božji služabnik, kaznovalec na jezo tega, kteri hudo dela.
5 For this reason it is necessary to be subject, not only because of the wrath, but also because of the conscience,
Za kaj treba je podlagati se, ne samo za voljo jeze, nego tudi za voljo svesti.
6 for because of this you also pay tribute; for they are servants of God, on this very thing attending continually;
Kajti za to tudi davke plačujete, za kaj služabniki so Božji pa se ravno s tem stanovitno pečajo.
7 render, therefore, to all [their] dues; to whom tribute, the tribute; to whom custom, the custom; to whom fear, the fear; to whom honor, the honor.
Dajte torej vsem, kar ste dolžni: komur davek, davek; komur mito, mito; komur strah, strah; komur čast, čast.
8 To no one owe anything, except to love one another; for he who is loving the other—he has fulfilled law,
Nikomur ničesar dolžni ne bodite, razen da ljubite eden drugega, kajti kdor ljubi drugega, postavo je izpolnil:
9 for, “You will not commit adultery, You will not murder, You will not steal, You will not bear false testimony, You will not covet”; and if there is any other command, in this word it is summed up, in this: “You will love your neighbor as yourself”;
Ker: "Ne prešestvuj, ne ubijaj, ne kradi, ne prisegaj po krivem, ne želi," in če je ktera druga zapoved, ta le beseda jo obsega: "Ljubi bližnjega svojega kakor samega sebe."
10 the love to the neighbor works no ill; the love, therefore, [is] the fullness of law.
Ljubezen bližnjemu hudega ne napravlja. Izpolnjenje torej postave je ljubezen.
11 And this, knowing the time, that for us, the hour already [is] to be aroused out of sleep, for now our salvation [is] nearer than when we believed;
In to delajmo vedoč za čas, da je ura, da se že iz spanja zbudimo; kajti sedaj nam je bliže zveličanje, nego kedar smo vero sprejeli.
12 the night advanced, and the day came near; let us lay aside, therefore, the works of the darkness, and let us put on the armor of the light;
Noč je minula, a dan se je približal; odvrzimo torej dela tmine in oblecimo se v orožje svetlosti.
13 as in daytime, let us walk properly; not in reveling and drunkenness, not in promiscuity and licentiousness, not in strife and jealousy;
Kakor po dnevi, spodobno hodimo, ne v pojedinjah in pijanščinjah, ne v kurbarstvih in hotljivostih, ne v prepiru in zavisti;
14 but put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and take no forethought for the flesh—for desires.
Nego oblecite Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa in ne delajte si skrbi za meso na poželenja.
