Romans 8
1 There is, then, now no condemnation to those in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit;
Nikakve dakle sada osude onima koji su u Kristu Isusu!
2 for the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus set me free from the law of sin and of death;
Ta zakon Duha života u Kristu Isusu oslobodi me zakona grijeha i smrti.
3 for what the Law was not able to do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, His own Son having sent in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh,
Uistinu, što je bilo nemoguće Zakonu, jer je zbog tijela onemoćao, Bog je učinio: poslavši Sina svoga u obličju grešnoga tijela i s obzirom na grijeh, osudi grijeh u tijelu
4 that the righteousness of the Law may be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
da se pravednost Zakona ispuni u nama koji ne živimo po tijelu nego po Duhu.
5 For those who are according to the flesh, mind the things of the flesh; and those according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit;
Da, oni koji žive po tijelu, teže za onim što je tjelesno; a koji po Duhu, za onim što je Duhovo:
6 for the mind of the flesh [is] death, and the mind of the Spirit—life and peace;
težnja je tijela smrt, a težnja Duha život i mir.
7 because the mind of the flesh [is] enmity to God, for to the Law of God it does not subject itself,
Jer težnja je tijela protivna Bogu: zakonu se Božjemu ne podvrgava, a i ne može.
8 for neither is it able; and those who are in the flesh are not able to please God.
Oni pak koji su u tijelu, ne mogu se Bogu svidjeti.
9 And you are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you; and if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ—this one is not His;
A vi niste u tijelu, nego u Duhu, ako Duh Božji prebiva u vama. A nema li tko Duha Kristova, taj nije njegov.
10 and if Christ [is] in you, the body, indeed, [is] dead because of sin, and the Spirit [is] life because of righteousness,
I ako je Krist u vama, tijelo je doduše mrtvo zbog grijeha, ali Duh je život zbog pravednosti.
11 and if the Spirit of Him who raised up Jesus out of the dead dwells in you, He who raised up the Christ out of the dead will also quicken your dying bodies, through His Spirit dwelling in you.
Ako li Duh Onoga koji uskrisi Isusa od mrtvih prebiva u vama, Onaj koji uskrisi Krista od mrtvih oživit će i smrtna tijela vaša po Duhu svome koji prebiva u vama.
12 So, then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh;
Dakle, braćo, dužnici smo, ali ne tijelu da po tijelu živimo!
13 for if according to the flesh you live, you are about to die; and if, by the Spirit, the deeds of the body you put to death, you will live;
Jer ako po tijelu živite, umrijeti vam je, ako li pak Duhom usmrćujete tjelesna djela, živjet ćete.
14 for as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God;
Svi koje vodi Duh Božji sinovi su Božji.
15 for you did not receive a spirit of bondage again for fear, but you received [the] Spirit of adoption in which we cry, “Abba! Father!”
Ta ne primiste duh robovanja da se opet bojite, nego primiste Duha posinstva u kojem kličemo: “Abba! Oče!”
16 [This] One—the Spirit—testifies with our spirit, that we are children of God;
Sam Duh susvjedok je s našim duhom da smo djeca Božja;
17 and if children, also heirs, heirs, indeed, of God, and heirs together of Christ—if, indeed, we suffer together, that we may also be glorified together.
ako pak djeca, onda i baštinici, baštinici Božji, a subaštinici Kristovi, kada doista s njime zajedno trpimo, da se zajedno s njime i proslavimo.
18 For I reckon that the sufferings of the present time [are] not worthy [to be compared] with the glory about to be revealed in us;
Smatram, uistinu: sve patnje sadašnjega vremena nisu ništa prema budućoj slavi koja se ima očitovati u nama.
19 for the earnest looking out of the creation expects the revelation of the sons of God;
Doista, stvorenje sa svom žudnjom iščekuje ovo objavljenje sinova Božjih:
20 for to vanity was the creation made subject—not of its will, but because of Him who subjected [it]—in hope,
stvorenje je uistinu podvrgnuto ispraznosti - ne po svojoj volji, nego zbog onoga koji ga podvrgnu - ali u nadi.
21 that also the creation itself will be set free from the servitude of the corruption to the liberty of the glory of the children of God;
Jer i stvorenje će se osloboditi robovanja pokvarljivosti da sudjeluje u slobodi i slavi djece Božje.
22 for we have known that all the creation groans together, and travails in pain together until now.
Jer znamo: sve stvorenje zajedno uzdiše i muči se u porođajnim bolima sve do sada.
23 And not only [so], but also we ourselves, having the first-fruit of the Spirit, we also ourselves groan in ourselves, expecting adoption—the redemption of our body;
Ali ne samo ono! I mi koji imamo prvine Duha, i mi u sebi uzdišemo iščekujući posinstvo, otkupljenje svoga tijela.
24 for in hope we were saved, and hope beheld is not hope; for what anyone beholds, why does he also hope for [it]?
Ta u nadi smo spašeni! Nada pak koja se vidi nije nada. Jer što tko gleda, kako da se tomu i nada?
25 And if what we do not behold we hope for, through continuance we expect [it].
Nadamo li se pak onomu čega ne gledamo, postojano to iščekujemo.
26 And in like manner also, the Spirit helps our weaknesses; for what we may pray for, as it is necessary, we have not known, but [this] One—the Spirit—makes intercession for us with unutterable groanings,
Tako i Duh potpomaže našu nemoć. Doista ne znamo što da molimo kako valja, ali se sam Duh za nas zauzima neizrecivim uzdasima.
27 and He who is searching the hearts has known what [is] the mind of the Spirit, because according to God He intercedes for holy ones.
A Onaj koji proniče srca zna koja je želja Duha - da se on po Božju zauzima za svete.
28 And we have known that to those loving God all things work together for good, to those who are called according to purpose;
Znamo pak da Bog u svemu na dobro surađuje s onima koji ga ljube, s onima koji su odlukom njegovom pozvani.
29 because whom He foreknew, He also foreordained, conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be firstborn among many brothers;
Jer koje predvidje, te i predodredi da budu suobličeni slici Sina njegova te da on bude prvorođenac među mnogom braćom.
30 and whom He foreordained, these also He called; and whom He called, these also He declared righteous; and whom He declared righteous, these also He glorified.
Koje pak predodredi, te i pozva; koje pozva, te i opravda; koje opravda, te i proslavi.
31 What, then, will we say to these things? If God [is] for us, who [is] against us?
Što ćemo dakle na to reći? Ako je Bog za nas, tko će protiv nas?
32 He who indeed did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how will He not also with Him grant to us all things?
Ta on ni svojega Sina nije poštedio, nego ga je za sve nas predao! Kako nam onda s njime neće sve darovati?
33 Who will lay a charge against the chosen ones of God? God [is] He that is declaring righteous;
Tko će optužiti izabranike Božje? Bog opravdava!
34 who [is] he that is condemning? Christ [is] He that died, indeed, rather also, was raised up; who is also on the right hand of God—who also interceded for us.
Tko će osuditi? Krist Isus umrije, štoviše i uskrsnu, on je i zdesna Bogu - on se baš zauzima za nas!
35 Who will separate us from the love of the Christ? Tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
Tko će nas rastaviti od ljubavi Kristove? Nevolja? Tjeskoba? Progonstvo? Glad? Golotinja? Pogibao? Mač?
36 According as it has been written: “For Your sake we are put to death all the day long; we were reckoned as sheep of slaughter.”
Kao što je pisano: Poradi tebe ubijaju nas dan za danom i mi smo im ko ovce za klanje.
37 But in all these we more than conquer, through Him who loved us;
U svemu tome nadmoćno pobjeđujemo po onome koji nas uzljubi.
38 for I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor messengers, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present,
Uvjeren sam doista: ni smrt ni život, ni anđeli ni vlasti, ni sadašnjost ni budućnost, ni sile,
39 nor things about to be, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God that [is] in Christ Jesus our Lord.
ni dubina ni visina, ni ikoji drugi stvor neće nas moći rastaviti od ljubavi Božje u Kristu Isusu Gospodinu našem.
