Romans 2
1 Wherefore, inexcusable, thou art, O man, whoever judgest; for, wherein thou judgest some one else, thyself, thou dost condemn, —for, the very things, thou dost practise, who art judging:
Zato nemaš isprike, čovječe koji sudiš, tko god ti bio. Jer time što drugoga sudiš, sebe osuđuješ: ta to isto činiš ti što sudiš.
2 We know, however, that, the sentence of God, is according to truth against them who, such things as these, do practise.
Znamo pak: Bog po istini sudi one koji takvo što čine.
3 And reckonest thou this, O man—who dost judge them who such things do practise, and yet art doing the same, that, thou, shalt escape the sentence of God?
Misliš li da ćeš izbjeći sudu Božjemu, ti čovječe što sudiš one koji takvo što čine, a sam to isto činiš?
4 Or, the riches of his kindness, and forbearance, and long-suffering, dost thou despise, —not knowing that, the kindness of God, unto repentance, is leading thee?
Ili prezireš bogatstvo dobrote, strpljivosti i velikodušnosti njegove ne shvaćajući da te dobrota Božja k obraćenju privodi?
5 But, according to thy hardness, and [thine] impenitent heart, art treasuring up for thyself anger, in a day of anger and revelation of the righteous judgment of God, —
Tvrdokornošću svojom i srcem koje neće obraćenja zgrćeš na se gnjev za Dan gnjeva i objavljenja pravedna suda Boga
6 Who will render unto each one according to his works: —
koji će uzvratiti svakom po djelima:
7 Unto them, on the one hand, who, by way of endurance in good work, are seeking, glory, honour and incorruption, life age-abiding, (aiōnios g166)
onima koji postojanošću u dobrim djelima ištu slavu, čast i neraspadljivost - život vječni; (aiōnios g166)
8 Unto them, on the other hand, who are of contention, and are not yielding unto the truth, but are yielding unto unrighteousness, anger and wrath,
buntovnicima pak i nepokornima istini, a pokornima nepravdi - gnjev i srdžba!
9 tribulation and anguish—against every soul of man who worketh out what is base, both of Jew first and of Greek, —
Nevolja i tjeskoba na svaku dušu čovječju koja čini zlo, na Židova najprije, pa na Grka;
10 But glory and honour and peace—unto every one who worketh what is good, both unto Jew first and unto Greek:
a slava, čast i mir svakomu koji čini dobro, Židovu najprije, pa Grku!
11 For there is no respect of persons with God; —
Ta u Boga nema pristranosti.
12 For, as many as without law sinned, without law, also shall perish, and, as many as within law sinned, through law, shall be judged;
Uistinu koji bez Zakona sagriješiše, bez Zakona će i propasti; i koji pod Zakonom sagriješiše, po Zakonu će biti suđeni.
13 For, not the hearers of law, are righteous with God, but, the doers of law, shall be declared righteous;
Ne, pred Bogom nisu pravedni slušatelji Zakona, nego - izvršitelji će Zakona biti opravdani.
14 For, whensoever the nations which have not law, by nature, the things of the law, may be doing, the same, not having law, unto themselves, are a law, —
Ta kad se god pogani, koji nemaju Zakona, po naravi drže Zakona, i nemajući Zakona, oni su sami sebi Zakon:
15 Who, indeed, shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience therewith bearing witness, and, between one another, their reasonings accusing—or, even excusing, them: —
pokazuju da je ono što Zakon nalaže upisano u srcima njihovim. O tom svjedoči i njihova savjest, a i prosuđivanja kojima se među sobom optužuju ili brane.
16 In the day on which God judgeth the secrets of men according to my glad-message through Christ Jesus.
To će se očitovati na Dan u koji će, po mojem evanđelju, Bog po Isusu Kristu suditi ono što je skriveno u ljudima.
17 If, however, thou, art taking the name of Jew, and resting thyself upon law, and boasting in God,
Ako pak ti koji se Židovom nazivaš, koji mirno počivaš na Zakonu i dičiš se Bogom,
18 And art taking note of his will, and testing the things that differ—when receiving oral instruction out of the law,
koji poznaješ Volju i iz Zakona poučen razlučuješ što je bolje
19 Art persuaded, moreover, that, thou thyself, art—a guide of the blind, a light of them that are in darkness,
te si uvjeren da si vođa slijepih, svjetlo onih u tami,
20 A trainer of the simple, a teacher of babes, having the forming of knowledge and truth in the law, —
odgojitelj nerazumnih, učitelj nejačadi jer u Zakonu imaš oličenje znanja i istine;
21 Thou, therefore, that art teaching someone else, thyself, art thou not teaching? Thou that proclaimest—Do not steal! Art thou, stealing?
ti, dakle, koji drugoga učiš, sam sebe ne učiš! Ti koji propovijedaš da se ne krade, kradeš!
22 That sayest—Do not commit adultery! Art thou, committing adultery? That abhorrest sacrilege, Art thou, robbing temples?
Ti koji zabranjuješ preljub, preljub počinjaš! Ti komu su odvratni kumiri, pljačkaš hramove!
23 That in law dost boast, Through the transgression of the law, art thou dishonouring God?
Ti koji se Zakonom dičiš, kršenjem toga Zakona Boga obeščašćuješ!
24 For the name of God, because of you, is defamed among the nations, —even as it is written.
Doista, kako je pisano, ime se Božje zbog vas huli među narodima.
25 For, circumcision, indeed, profiteth—if, law, thou be practising; but, if thou be a transgressor of law, thy circumcision, hath become, uncircumcision
Da, obrezanje koristi ako vršiš Zakon; ako pak kršiš Zakon, obrezanje tvoje postalo je neobrezanje.
26 If then, the uncircumcision, be guarding the righteous requirement of the law, shall not, his uncircumcision, as circumcision be reckoned?—
Ako dakle neobrezani opslužuje propise Zakona, neće li se njegovo neobrezanje smatrati obrezanjem?
27 And the uncircumcision by nature, completing the law, shall judge, thee, who, notwithstanding letter and circumcision, art a transgressor of law!
I onaj koji je podrijetlom neobrezanik, a ispunja Zakon, sudit će tebi koji si, uza sve slovo i obrezanje, prijestupnik Zakona.
28 For, not he who is one in appearance, is a Jew, nor is, that which is such in appearance in flesh, circumcision;
Ta nije Židov tko je Židov naizvana i nije obrezanje ono izvana,
29 But, he who is one in secret, is a Jew, —and, [that is], circumcision, which is of the heart, in spirit, not in letter, —whose, praise, is not of men, but of God.
na tijelu, nego pravi je Židov u nutrini i pravo je obrezanje u srcu, po duhu, ne po slovu. Pohvala mu nije od ljudi, nego od Boga.
