Romans 8
1 Because [God has erased the record of our sins because we trust in what Christ has done for us], now [God will] not condemn and punish those/us who have a relationship with (OR, are united to) Christ Jesus.
Przetoż teraz żadnego potępienia nie masz tym, który będąc w Chrystusie Jezusie nie według ciała chodzą, ale według Ducha.
2 [God’s] Spirit causes us to live [in a new way] [PRS] as a result of what Christ Jesus [did for us]. And he has set up a way by which he frees [each of] us from continually being forced to sin (OR, to obey our self-directed natures) and from being separated from God.
Albowiem zakon Ducha żywota, który jest w Chrystusie Jezusie, uwolnił mię od zakonu grzechu śmierci.
3 What [we] could not do [by trying to obey] the laws [of God] [PRS], because our self-directed nature was too weak [to obey them], God did. He sent his own Son [into the world in order that his Son might atone] for our sin. His Son came having a body (OR, human nature) that was like [the body] (OR, the [human nature]) of us people who sin. [By sending his Son in this way], he condemned and punished [his Son, who never sinned, instead of punishing us, who] sinned [MTY]. He did that [by making his Son’s] body [a sacrifice] (OR, [by causing his Son’s] body [to suffer/die]) for [all our] sin.
Bo co niemożnego było zakonowi, w czem on był słaby dla ciała, Bóg posławszy Syna swego w podobieństwie grzesznego ciała i dla grzechu, potępił grzech w ciele,
4 So we can [now] fulfill all that God required in his laws. We do this, not by our acting the way our sinful human nature [desires], but instead by living as [God’s] Spirit [desires us to live].
Aby ona sprawiedliwość zakonu była wypełniona w nas, którzy nie według ciała chodzimy, ale według Ducha.
5 People who live according to what their self-directed nature [desires] think about and are concerned about what their self-directed nature [desires]. But people who [live] according to what [God’s] Spirit [desires think about and are concerned about] what [God’s] Spirit [desires].
Albowiem, którzy są według ciała, o tem myślą, co jest cielesnego; ale którzy są według Ducha, myślą o tem, co jest duchowego.
6 Those people who [PRS] think about and are concerned about what their self-directed nature [desires] will not live eternally (OR, will be separated from God). But those people who think about and are concerned about what [God’s] Spirit [desires] will live [eternally] and have [inner] peace.
Gdyż zmysł ciała jest śmierć; ale zmysł ducha jest żywot i pokój,
7 Let me explain this. [To the extent that] people [PRS] think about and are concerned about what their self-directed nature [desires], they are acting contrary to God. They do not obey the laws of God. In fact, they are not even able [to obey his laws].
Przeto iż zmysł ciała jest nieprzyjacielem Bogu; bo się zakonowi Bożemu nie poddaje, gdyż też i nie może.
8 The people who let their self-directed nature [control them] cannot do what pleases God.
Przetoż którzy są w ciele, Bogu się podobać nie mogą.
9 But we do not have to let our self-directed nature [control us]. Instead, we can [let] God’s Spirit [control us], because he lives within us. If people do not have [living in them] the Spirit [who comes from] Christ, they do not belong to Christ.
Lecz wy nie jesteście w ciele, ale w duchu, gdyż Duch Boży mieszka w was: a jeźli kto Ducha Chrystusowego nie ma, ten nie jest jego.
10 But since Christ [is living in you/us by his Spirit, although] your/our bodies [are certain to] die because you/we sin, your/our spirits are alive because God has erased the record of your/our sins.
Ale jeźli Chrystus w was jest, tedy ciało jest martwe dla grzechu, a duch jest żywy dla sprawiedliwości.
11 [God] caused Jesus to live again after he died. And because his Spirit lives in you/us, [God] will also make your/our bodies, which [now] are sure to die, live [again after you/we die]. God, who caused Christ to live again after he died, will make you/us live again by [causing] his Spirit, who lives within you/us, [to do it].
A jeźli Duch tego, który Jezusa wzbudził z martwych, mieszka w was, ten który wzbudził Chrystusa z martwych, ożywi i śmiertelne ciała wasze przez Ducha swego, który w was mieszka.
12 Therefore, my fellow believers, we must [live as the Spirit directs us]. What we do not have to do is to live as our self-directed nature [guides us].
A tak, bracia! dłużnikami jesteśmy nie ciału, abyśmy według ciała żyli.
13 If you live the way your self-directed nature [directs], you will surely not live [eternally] (OR, will surely be eternally separated from God). But if by [the power of God’s] Spirit you quit doing the [sinful] things that your bodies [desire] [MET], you will live eternally.
Albowiem jeźlibyście według ciała żyli, pomrzecie; ale jeźlibyście Duchem sprawy ciała umartwili, żyć będziecie.
14 We who are guided by the Spirit of God {allow the Spirit of God to guide us} are God’s children.
Bo którzykolwiek Duchem Bożym prowadzeni bywają, ci są synami Bożymi.
15 [You have showed that this is true], because you received [from God] a Spirit that is not one that makes you fear [God] again. You are not like slaves who [fear their masters] [MET]. On the contrary, we have received a Spirit by whose [work in our hearts God] has adopted us. The Spirit now enables us to cry out [to God], “[You(sg) are my] Father [DOU]!”
Gdyżeście nie wzięli ducha niewoli znowu ku bojaźni, aleście wzięli Ducha przysposobienia synowskiego, przez którego wołamy: Abba, to jest Ojcze!
16 The Spirit himself confirms what our spirits [say], that we are God’s children.
Tenże duch poświadcza duchowi naszemu, iż jesteśmy dziećmi Bożymi.
17 Because we are [God’s] children, we also will some day receive/inherit [eternal blessings/privileges]. We will receive/inherit them from God, and we will [also] receive/inherit [them] just like Christ has [inherited them]. But we must suffer [for doing good] as Christ did, in order to receive splendor as he did.
A jeźliż dziećmi, tedy i dziedzicami, dziedzicami wprawdzie Bożymi, a spółdziedzicami Chrystusowymi, jeźli tylko z nim cierpimy, abyśmy też z nim byli uwielbieni.
18 I consider that what we suffer during the present time is not worth [paying attention to, because] the future splendor/glory that will be revealed {that [God] will reveal} to us [is so great].
Albowiem, (bracia!) mam za to, iż utrapienia teraźniejszego czasu nie są godne onej przyszłej chwały, która się ma objawić w nas.
19 The [things that God has] created are very eagerly waiting for [the time] [PRS, DOU] when God will reveal who his [true] children are.
Bo troskliwe wyglądanie stworzenia oczekuje objawienia synów Bożych.
20 [God] caused the things that he created to be unable to achieve [what he had purposed. That was] not because they wanted to [be unable to do that]. On the contrary, [God] made them that way because he wanted them to keep confidently expecting
Gdyż stworzenie marności jest poddane, nie dobrowolnie, ale dla tego, który je poddał,
21 that the things that [he] created will be freed {that [he] will free the things that [he] created} from their sure decay [MET]. [He] will free them in order that [he can give them] the same glory that belongs to his children.
Pod nadzieją, że i samo stworzenie będzie uwolnione z niewoli skażenia na wolność chwały dziatek Bożych.
22 We know that until now [it is as though] all [things] that God created have been groaning together, [and they long for that glory, just like a mother having the pains before bearing a child] groans [and longs for her baby’s birth] [MET].
Bo wiemy, iż wszystko stworzenie wespół wzdycha i wespół boleje aż dotąd.
23 Not only [do those things groan], but we ourselves also groan inwardly. We who have [God’s] Spirit, who is like a partial gift [MET] we have received as we wait for [the future glory, groan inwardly]. We groan while we wait eagerly for the time when we will receive our [full] rights as God’s adopted children. That [will include] his freeing our bodies [from the things that hinder us on earth. He will do this by giving us new bodies].
A nie tylko ono stworzenie, ale i my, którzy mamy pierwiastki Ducha, i my sami w sobie wzdychamy, oczekując przysposobienia synowskiego, odkupienia ciała naszego.
24 Ever since we were saved {since [God] saved us}, we have continued to confidently expect [that future glory]. If we had what we waited for, we would not [need to] wait for it any longer, because those who have something, certainly do not continue to wait for it! [RHQ]
Albowiem nadziejąśmy zbawieni. A nadzieja widoma nie jest nadzieją; bo co kto widzi, przecz się tego spodziewa?
25 But because we keep waiting expectantly to receive what we do not yet have, we wait for it eagerly and patiently/perseveringly.
Ale czego nie widzimy, tego się spodziewamy i tego przez cierpliwość oczekujemy.
26 Similarly, in addition to our continuing to wait for what God will give us, God’s Spirit helps us when our spirits feel weak. We do not know what is proper/necessary for us to pray. But God’s Spirit knows, and he prays for us when we groan (OR, he groans) in a way that cannot be expressed in words (OR, prays with us, groaning in a way that cannot be expressed in words).
Także też i Duch dopomaga mdłościom naszym. Albowiem o co byśmy się modlić mieli, jako potrzeba, nie wiemy; ale tenże Duch przyczynia się za nami wzdychaniem niewymownem.
27 God, who examines our inner feelings, understands what his Spirit desires. What God understands is that his Spirit prays for us who belong to God exactly as God wants him to pray.
A ten, który się serc bada, wie, który jest zmysł Ducha, ponieważ według Boga przyczynia się za świętymi.
28 And we know that to those/us who love God, he works out all things that happen [to them/us] in a way that produces good [spiritual] benefits [for us]. He does these things for those/us whom he has chosen, because that was (OR, was according to) what he planned to do.
A wiemy, iż tym, którzy miłują Boga, wszystkie rzeczy dopomagają ku dobremu, to jest tym, którzy według postanowienia Bożego powołani są.
29 God knew previously [that we would believe] in him (OR, [would be saved]). We are those who God also decided previously would develop a character like his Son’s character. The result of that is that [Christ is like] a firstborn/highest-ranking [son], and [those/we who are God’s children] [MET] are [like] [MET] many [younger] brothers [of Jesus].
Albowiem, które on przejrzał, te też przenaznaczył, aby byli przypodobani obrazowi Syna jego, żeby on był pierworodnym między wieloma braćmi,
30 And us who God decided previously [that we would become like his Son], he also summoned. And for us whom he summoned, he also erased the record of our sins. And for us whose record of sins he has erased, he also will surely give future splendor.
A które przenaznaczył, te też powołał; a które powołał, te też usprawiedliwił; a które usprawiedliwił, te też uwielbił.
31 So (I will tell you what we must conclude from [all] these things [that God does for us]./what shall we conclude from [all] these things [that God does for us]?) [RHQ] Because God [is acting] on our behalf, (no one can win against us!/can anyone defeat us? (OR, it does not matter if anyone opposes us)!) [RHQ]
Cóż tedy rzeczemy na to? Jeźli Bóg za nami, któż przeciwko nam?
32 God did not spare even his very own Son. Instead, he turned him over [to others to cruelly kill him] in order that all we [who believe in him] may benefit [from his dying for us. Therefore, because God did that], (he will also certainly give us freely everything [that we need to live for him], in addition to [giving us] Christ./will he not also certainly give us freely everything [that we need to live for him], in addition to [giving us] Christ?) [RHQ]
Który ani własnemu Synowi nie przepuścił, ale go za nas wszystkich wydał: jakoż by wszystkiego z nim nie darował nam?
33 It is God himself who erases the record of our sins. So (no one who accuses us [before God will win against us] (OR, [it does not matter] if anyone tries to accuse us) whom God has chosen./is it possible that anyone who accuses us [before God] will win against us (OR, does it matter if anyone tries to accuse us) whom God has chosen?) [RHQ]
Któż będzie skarżył na wybrane Boże? Bóg jest, który usprawiedliwia.
34 It is Christ Jesus himself who pleads [with God] for us, so (no one can condemn us (OR, say that we are still guilty for our sin)./can anyone condemn us (OR, say that we are still guilty for our sin)?) [RHQ] Christ died [for us], but he was also brought back to life {[God] also raised him from the dead}, and he is now at the place of honor [ruling] with God [MTY].
Któż jest, co by je potępił? Chrystus jest, który umarł, owszem i zmartwychwstał, który też jest na prawicy Bożej, który się też przyczynia za nami.
35 Absolutely no one and nothing can cause Christ to stop loving us! [RHQ] That could not [RHQ] happen [because someone] caused us to have trouble [DOU], or [because someone did things to] harm us, or [because we did] not have anything to eat, or [because we did] not have enough clothes, or [because we lived in a] dangerous situation, or [because someone killed us with] a sword [MTY] (OR, murdered us).
Któż nas odłączy od miłości Chrystusowej? czyli utrapienie? czyli ucisk? czyli prześladowanie? czyli głód? czyli nagość? czyli niebezpieczeństwo? czyli miecz?
36 [Such things may happen to us, just like] it is written {[as David] wrote} [that David said to God], “Because we are your [(sg)] people, [other people repeatedly attempt to] kill us. They consider that we are [only people to be killed], [like a butcher considers] that sheep are [only] animals to be slaughtered [MET].”
Jako napisano: Dla ciebie cały dzień zabijani bywamy, poczytaniśmy jako owce na rzeź naznaczone;
37 But even though all these bad things [may happen to us], we win a great victory/triumph [over these things because Christ], who loves us, [helps us].
Ale w tem wszystkiem przezwyciężamy przez tego, który nas umiłował.
38 I am absolutely certain that neither being dead (OR, being killed), nor [what happens to us while] we live, nor angels, nor demons, nor present events, nor future events, nor powerful [beings/forces],
Albowiem pewienem tego, iż ani śmierć, ani żywot, ani Aniołowie, ani księstwa, ani mocarstwa, ani teraźniejsze ani przyszłe rzeczy,
39 nor [powerful beings] above [the horizon] or below [the horizon] [MTY], nor anything else that [God has] created can cause God to stop loving us. [God showed us that he loves us by sending] Jesus Christ our Lord [to die for us].
Ani wysokość, ani głębokość, ani żadne insze stworzenie nie będzie nas mogło odłączyć od miłości Bożej, która jest w Jezusie Chrystusie, Panu naszym.
