< Galatians 2 >
1 Later still, after an interval of fourteen years, I again went up to Jerusalem in company with Barnabas, taking Titus also with me.
Potom po čtrnácti letech opět vstoupil jsem do Jeruzaléma s Barnabášem, pojav s sebou i Tita.
2 I went up in obedience to a revelation of God's will; and I explained to them the Good News which I proclaim among the Gentiles. To the leaders of the Church this explanation was made in private, lest by any means I should be running, or should already have run, in vain.
Vstoupil jsem pak podle zjevení, a vypravoval jsem jim evangelium, kteréž káži mezi pohany, a zvláště pak znamenitějším, abych snad nadarmo neběžel nyní i prve.
3 But although my companion Titus was a Greek they did not insist upon even his being circumcised.
Ale ani Titus, kterýž se mnou byl, pohan byv, nebyl přinucen obřezati se,
4 Yet there was danger of this through the false brethren secretly introduced into the Church, who had stolen in to spy out the freedom which is ours in Christ Jesus, in order to rob us of it.
Totiž pro podešlé falešné bratří, kteříž se byli vloudili k vyšpehování svobody naší, kterouž máme v Kristu Ježíši, aby nás v službu podrobili.
5 But not for an hour did we give way and submit to them; in order that the Good News might continue with you in its integrity.
Kterýmžto ani na chvilku neustoupili jsme a nepoddali se, aby pravda evangelium zůstala u vás.
6 From those leaders I gained nothing new. Whether they were men of importance or not, matters nothing to me--God recognizes no external distinctions. To me, at any rate, the leaders imparted nothing new.
Od těch pak, kteříž se zdadí něco býti, nic mi není přidáno, ač jací jsou někdy byli, mně potom nic není, Bůhť osoby člověka nepřijímá; ti, pravím, kteříž se něco zdadí býti, nic mi nepřidali.
7 Indeed, when they saw that I was entrusted with the preaching of the Good News to the Gentiles as Peter had been with that to the Jews--
Nýbrž naodpor, když uzřeli, že jest mi svěřeno evangelium, abych je kázal neobřezaným, jako i Petrovi mezi Židy,
8 for He who had been at work within Peter with a view to his Apostleship to the Jews had also been at work within me with a view to my Apostleship to the Gentiles--
(Nebo ten, kterýž mocný byl skrze Petra z strany apoštolství mezi Židy, byl mocný i skrze mne mezi pohany, )
9 and when they perceived the mission which was graciously entrusted to me, they (that is to say, James, Peter, and John, who were considered to be the pillars of the Church) welcomed Barnabas and me to their fellowship on the understanding that we were to go to the Gentiles and they to the Jews.
A poznavše milost mně danou, Jakub a Petr a Jan, kteříž se zdadí sloupové býti, podali svých pravic mně a Barnabášovi na tovaryšství, abychom my mezi pohany a oni mezi Židy kázali.
10 Only they urged that we should remember their poor--a thing which was uppermost in my own mind.
Toliko napomenuli, abychom na chudé pamatovali, což jsem se i činiti snažoval.
11 Now when Peter visited Antioch, I remonstrated with him to his face, because he had incurred just censure.
A když byl přišel Petr do Antiochie, zjevně jsem jemu odepřel; hoden zajisté byl trestání.
12 For until certain persons came from James he had been accustomed to eat with Gentiles; but as soon as these persons came, he withdrew and separated himself for fear of the Circumcision party.
Nebo prve nežli jsou přišli někteří od Jakuba, jídal s pohany, a když přišli, ucházel a odděloval se od nich, boje se těch, kteříž byli z Židovstva.
13 And along with him the other Jews also concealed their real opinions, so that even Barnabas was carried away by their lack of straightforwardness.
A spolu s ním v tom pokrytství byli i jiní Židé, takže i Barnabáš uveden byl v jejich pokrytství.
14 As soon as I saw that they were not walking uprightly in the spirit of the Good News, I said to Peter, before them all, "If you, though you are a Jew, live as a Gentile does, and not as a Jew, how can you make the Gentiles follow Jewish customs?
Ale já uzřev, že nesprostně chodí v pravdě evangelium, řekl jsem Petrovi přede všemi: Poněvadž ty jsa Žid, pohansky živ jsi, a ne Židovsky, proč pohany k Židovskému způsobu vedeš?
15 You and I, though we are Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners,
My přirození Židé, a ne pohané hříšní,
16 know that it is not through obedience to Law that a man can be declared free from guilt, but only through faith in Jesus Christ. We have therefore believed in Christ Jesus, for the purpose of being declared free from guilt, through faith in Christ and not through obedience to Law. For through obedience to Law no human being shall be declared free from guilt.
Vědouce, že nebývá člověk ospravedlněn z skutků Zákona, ale skrze víru v Jezukrista, i my v Krista uvěřili jsme, abychom ospravedlněni byli z víry Kristovy, a ne z skutků Zákona, protože nebude ospravedlněn z skutků Zákona žádný člověk.
17 But if while we are seeking in Christ acquittal from guilt we ourselves are convicted of sin, Christ then encourages us to sin! No, indeed.
Jestliže pak hledajíce ospravedlněni býti v Kristu, nalézáme se i my hříšníci, tedy jest Kristus služebník hřícha? Nikoli.
18 Why, if I am now rebuilding that structure of sin which I had demolished, I am thereby constituting myself a transgressor;
Nebo budu-li to, což jsem zbořil, opět zase vzdělávati, přestupníkem sebe činím.
19 for it is by the Law that I have died to the Law, in order that I may live to God.
Já zajisté skrze Zákon Zákonu umřel jsem, abych živ byl Bohu.
20 I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I that live, but Christ that lives in me; and the life which I now live in the body I live through faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave Himself up to death on my behalf.
S Kristem ukřižován jsem. Živť jsem pak již ne já, ale živ jest ve mně Kristus. Že pak nyní živ jsem v těle, u víře Syna Božího živ jsem, kterýžto zamiloval mne a vydal sebe samého za mne.
21 I do not nullify the grace of God; for if acquittal from guilt is obtainable through the Law, then Christ has died in vain."
Nepohrdámť tou milostí Boží. Nebo jestližeť jest z Zákona spravedlnost, tedyť jest Kristus nadarmo umřel.
