Galatians 2
1 Then, fourteen years after, I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took Titus also with me.
Zatim nakon četrnaest godina opet uziđoh u Jeruzalem s Barnabom, a povedoh sa sobom i Tita.
2 And I went up by revelation, and communicated to them that gospel which I preach among the gentiles; but privately to those who were of reputation, lest by any means I should run, or had run, in vain.
Uziđoh po objavi i izložih im - napose uglednijima - evanđelje koje propovijedam među poganima da ne bih možda, ili da nisam, trčao uzalud.
3 But not even Titus, who was with me, though he was a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised;
Čak ni Tit, pratilac moj, premda Grk, nije bio prisiljen obrezati se,
4 and that because of the false brethren stealthily brought in, who crept in to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring into bondage;
i to radi uljeza, lažne braće, koja se ušuljaše da vrebaju slobodu koju imamo u Kristu Isusu, ne bi li nas učinili robovima.
5 to whom not even for an hour did we yield by the required subjection, that the truth of the gospel might still remain with you.
Ne, ni načas im nismo popustili, nismo se podložili: da istina evanđelja ostane kod vas!
6 But from those who were reputed to be somewhat—whatever they were, it matters not to me, (God accepteth no man's person, ) for to me those in reputation communicated nothing new.
A oni koji štogod znače - bili oni što bili, nije mi do toga, Bog ne gleda tko je tko - ti uglednici, uistinu, ništa nisu pridometnuli.
7 But on the contrary, when they saw that I was intrusted with the gospel to the uncircumcised, as Peter was with that to the circumcised,
Nego naprotiv, vidjevši da mi je povjereno evanđelje za neobrezane, kao Petru za obrezane -
8 (for he who wrought for Peter in behalf of the apostleship to the circumcised, wrought also for me in behalf of the gentiles, )
jer Onaj koji je bio na djelu po Petrovu apostolstvu među obrezanima, bio je na djelu i po meni među poganima -
9 and when they knew the grace that was given to me, James and Cephas and John, who were reputed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the gentiles, and they to the circumcised;
i spoznavši milost koja mi je dana, Jakov, Kefa i Ivan, smatrani stupovima, pružiše meni i Barnabi desnice zajedništva: mi ćemo među pogane, a oni među obrezane!
10 only they wished us to remember the poor; which very thing I also was earnest to do.
Samo neka se sjećamo siromaha, što sam revno i činio.
11 But when Cephas came to Antioch, I withstood him to the face; for he was condemned.
A kad Kefa stiže u Antiohiju, u lice mu se usprotivih jer je zavrijedio osudu:
12 For before certain persons came from James, he used to eat with the gentiles; but when they came, he withdrew, and separated himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision.
doista, prije nego stigoše neki od Jakova, blagovao je zajedno s poganima; a kad oni dođoše, počeo se povlačiti i odvajati bojeći se onih iz obrezanja.
13 And the other Jews also dissembled with him; so that even Barnabas was carried away with their dissimulation.
Za njim se povedoše i ostali Židovi te je i Barnaba zaveden tom prijetvornošću.
14 But when I saw that they were not walking uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas in the presence of all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of gentiles, and not that of the Jews, how is it that thou compellest the gentiles to keep the customs of the Jews?
Ali kad vidjeh da ne hode ravno, po istini evanđelja, rekoh Kefi pred svima: “Ako ti, Židov, poganski živiš, a ne židovski, kako možeš siliti pogane da se požidove?”
15 We are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the gentiles;
Mi smo podrijetlom Židovi, a ne “grešnici iz poganstva”.
16 but knowing that a man is not accepted as righteous by the works of the Law, but by faith in Christ Jesus, we also have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be accepted as righteous by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the Law; for by the works of the Law shall no flesh be accepted as righteous.
Ali znamo: čovjek se ne opravdava po djelima Zakona, nego vjerom u Isusa Krista. Zato i mi u Krista Isusa povjerovasmo da se opravdamo po vjeri u Krista, a ne po djelima Zakona jer se po djelima Zakona nitko neće opravdati.
17 But while seeking to be accepted as righteous in Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is Christ therefore a minister of sin? Far be it!
Ako se pak po tome što zaiskasmo opravdati se u Kristu očitovalo da smo i mi grešnici, nije li onda Krist u službi grijeha? Nipošto!
18 For if I again build up what I pulled down, I make myself a transgressor.
Doista, ako ponovno gradim što sam bio srušio, pokazujem da sam prijestupnik.
19 For I through the Law died to the Law, that I might live to God.
Ta po Zakonu ja Zakonu umrijeh da Bogu živim. S Kristom sam razapet.
20 I have been crucified with Christ, and no longer do I live, but Christ liveth in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live in faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
Živim, ali ne više ja, nego živi u meni Krist. A što sada živim u tijelu, u vjeri živim u Sina Božjega koji me ljubio i predao samoga sebe za mene.
21 I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness come through the Law, then did Christ die for nought.
Ne dokidam milosti Božje! Doista, ako je opravdanje po Zakonu, onda je Krist uzalud umro.
