Romans 1
1 Paul, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, called to be an Apostle, set apart to proclaim God's Good News,
Od Pavla, sluge Isusa Hrista, pozvanoga apostola izabranoga za jevanðelje Božije,
2 which God had already promised through His Prophets in Holy Writ, concerning His Son,
Koje Bog naprijed obeæa preko proroka svojijeh u svetijem pismima
3 who, as regards His human descent, belonged to the posterity of David,
O sinu svojemu, koji je po tijelu roðen od sjemena Davidova,
4 but as regards the holiness of His Spirit was decisively proved by His Resurrection to be the Son of God--I mean concerning Jesus Christ our Lord,
A posvjedoèen silno za sina Božijega Duhom svetinje po vaskrseniju iz mrtvijeh, Isusu Hristu Gospodu našemu,
5 through whom we have received grace and Apostleship in His service in order to win men to obedience to the faith, among all Gentile peoples,
Preko kojega primismo blagodat i apostolstvo, da pokorimo sve neznabošce vjeri imena njegovoga;
6 among whom you also, called, as you have been, to belong to Jesus Christ, are numbered:
Meðu kojima ste i vi pozvani Isusu Hristu,
7 To all God's loved ones who are in Rome, called to be saints. May grace and peace be granted to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Svima koji su u Rimu, ljubaznima Bogu, i pozvanima svetima: blagodat vam i mir od Boga oca našega i Gospoda Isusa Hrista.
8 First of all, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for what He has done for all of you; for the report of your faith is spreading through the whole world.
Prvo dakle zahvaljujem Bogu svojemu kroz Isusa Hrista za sve vas što se vjera vaša glasi po svemu svijetu.
9 I call God to witness--to whom I render priestly and spiritual service by telling the Good News about His Son-- how unceasingly I make mention of you in His presence,
Jer mi je svjedok Bog, kojemu služim duhom svojijem u jevanðelju sina njegova, da vas se opominjem bez prestanka,
10 always in my prayers entreating that now, at length, if such be His will, the way may by some means be made clear for me to come to you.
Moleæi se svagda Bogu u molitvama svojijem da bi mi kad Božija volja pomogla da doðem k vama;
11 For I am longing to see you, in order to convey to you some spiritual help, so that you may be strengthened;
Jer želim vidjeti vas, da vam dam kakav duhovni dar za vaše utvrðenje,
12 in other words that while I am among you we may be mutually encouraged by one another's faith, yours and mine.
To jest, da se s vama utješim vjerom opštom, i vašom i mojom.
13 And I desire you to know, brethren, that I have many a time intended to come to you--though until now I have been disappointed--in order that among you also I might gather some fruit from my labours, as I have already done among the rest of the Gentile nations.
Ali vam neæu zatajiti, braæo, da sam mnogo puta htio da vam doðem, pa bih zadržan doslije, da i meðu vama imam kakav plod, kao i meðu ostalijem neznabošcima.
14 I am already under obligations alike to Greek-speaking races and to others, to cultured and to uncultured people:
Dužan sam i Grcima i divljacima, i mudrima i nerazumnima.
15 so that for my part I am willing and eager to proclaim the Good News to you also who are in Rome.
Zato, od moje strane, gotov sam i vama u Rimu propovjediti jevanðelje.
16 For I am not ashamed of the Good News. It is God's power which is at work for the salvation of every one who believes--the Jew first, and then the Gentile.
Jer se ne stidim jevanðelja Hristova; jer je sila Božija na spasenije svakome koji vjeruje, a najprije Jevrejinu i Grku.
17 For in the Good News a righteousness which comes from God is being revealed, depending on faith and tending to produce faith; as the Scripture has it, "The righteous man shall live by faith."
Jer se u njemu javlja pravda Božija iz vjere u vjeru, kao što je napisano: pravednik æe od vjere živ biti.
18 For God's anger is being revealed from Heaven against all impiety and against the iniquity of men who through iniquity suppress the truth. God is angry:
Jer se otkriva gnjev Božij s neba na svaku bezbožnost i nepravdu ljudi koji drže istinu u nepravdi.
19 because what may be known about Him is plain to their inmost consciousness; for He Himself has made it plain to them.
Jer što se može doznati za Boga poznato je njima: jer im je Bog javio;
20 For, from the very creation of the world, His invisible perfections--namely His eternal power and divine nature--have been rendered intelligible and clearly visible by His works, so that these men are without excuse. (aïdios g126)
Jer što se na njemu ne može vidjeti, od postanja svijeta moglo se poznati i vidjeti na stvorenjima, i njegova vjeèna sila i božanstvo, da nemaju izgovora. (aïdios g126)
21 For when they had come to know God, they did not give Him glory as God nor render Him thanks, but they became absorbed in useless discussions, and their senseless minds were darkened.
Jer kad poznaše Boga, ne proslaviše ga kao Boga niti mu zahvališe, nego zaludješe u svojijem mislima, i potamnje nerazumno srce njihovo.
22 While boasting of their wisdom they became utter fools,
Kad se graðahu mudri, poludješe,
23 and, instead of worshipping the imperishable God, they worshipped images resembling perishable man or resembling birds or beasts or reptiles.
I pretvoriše slavu vjeènoga Boga u oblièje smrtnoga èovjeka i ptica i èetvoronožnijeh životinja i gadova.
24 For this reason, in accordance with their own depraved cravings, God gave them up to uncleanness, allowing them to dishonour their bodies among themselves with impurity.
Zato ih predade Bog u željama njihovijeh srca u neèistotu, da se pogane tjelesa njihova meðu njima samima;
25 For they had bartered the reality of God for what is unreal, and had offered divine honours and religious service to created things, rather than to the Creator--He who is for ever blessed. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Koji pretvoriše istinu Božiju u laž, i veæma poštovaše i poslužiše tvar nego tvorca, koji je blagosloven vavijek. Amin. (aiōn g165)
26 This then is the reason why God gave them up to vile passions. For not only did the women among them exchange the natural use of their bodies for one which is contrary to nature, but the men also,
Zato ih predade Bog u sramne slasti; jer žene njihove pretvoriše putno upotrebljavanje u besputno.
27 in just the same way--neglecting that for which nature intends women--burned with passion towards one another, men practising shameful vice with men, and receiving in their own selves the reward which necessarily followed their misconduct.
Tako i ljudi ostavivši putno upotrebljavanje ženskoga roda, raspališe se željom svojom jedan na drugoga, i ljudi s ljudima èinjahu sram, i platu koja trebaše za prijevaru njihovu primahu na sebi.
28 And just as they had refused to continue to have a full knowledge of God, so it was to utterly worthless minds that God gave them up, for them to do things which should not be done.
I kao što ne marahu da poznadu Boga, zato ih Bog predade u pokvaren um da èine što ne valja,
29 Their hearts overflowed with all sorts of dishonesty, mischief, greed, malice. They were full of envy and murder, and were quarrelsome, crafty, and spiteful.
Da budu napunjeni svake nepravde, kurvarstva, zloæe, lakomstva, pakosti; puni zavisti, ubistva, svaðe, lukavstva, zloæudnosti;
30 They were secret backbiters, open slanderers; hateful to God, insolent, haughty, boastful; inventors of new forms of sin, disobedient to parents, destitute of common sense,
Šaptaèi, opadaèi, bogomrsci, siledžije, hvališe, ponositi, izmišljaèi zala, nepokorni roditeljima,
31 faithless to their promises, without natural affection, without human pity.
Nerazumni, nevjere, neljubavni, neprimirljivi, nemilostivi.
32 In short, though knowing full well the sentence which God pronounces against actions such as theirs, as things which deserve death, they not only practise them, but even encourage and applaud others who do them.
A neki i pravdu Božiju poznavši da koji to èine zaslužuju smrt, ne samo to èine, nego pristaju na to i onima koji èine.
