Romans 9
1 I tell the truth in Christ. I am not lying, my conscience testifying with me in the Holy Spirit
Resnico govorim v Kristusu, ne lažem, to mi spričuje moja vest v duhu svetem,
2 that I have great sorrow and unceasing pain in my heart.
Da imam veliko žalost in neprenehano bolečino v svojem srcu.
3 For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ for my brothers’ sake, my relatives according to the flesh
Kajti želel bi, da bi bil sam jaz preklet od Kristusa za svoje brate, kteri so mi v rodu po mesu;
4 who are Israelites; whose is the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the service, and the promises;
Kteri so Izraelci, kterih je posinstvo, in slava, in zaveze, in postavodajstvo, in služba, in obljube,
5 of whom are the fathers, and from whom is Christ as concerning the flesh, who is over all, God, blessed forever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Kteri so očetje, in od kterih je Kristus po mesu, kteri je Bog nad vsemi blagoslovljen na veke. Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 But it is not as though the word of God has come to nothing. For they are not all Israel that are of Israel.
Ni pa tako, da je beseda Božja izgubljena, ker niso vsi ti Izraelci, kteri so od Izraela.
7 Neither, because they are Abraham’s offspring, are they all children. But, “your offspring will be accounted as from Isaac.”
Tudi kteri so seme Abrahamovo, niso vsi otroci, nego: "Izaku se ti bo imenovalo seme."
8 That is, it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are counted as heirs.
To je, niso ti, kteri so otroci mesa, otroci Božji, nego otroci obljube računijo se za seme.
9 For this is a word of promise: “At the appointed time I will come, and Sarah will have a son.”
Kajti beseda obljube je ta: "Ta čas bom prišel in Sara bo imela sina."
10 Not only so, but Rebekah also conceived by one, by our father Isaac.
Pa ne samo ona, nego tudi Rebeka, z enim imajoč otroke, z Izakom očetom našim;
11 For being not yet born, neither having done anything good or bad, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him who calls,
Kajti ko se še nista narodila, tudi ne storila kaj dobrega ali hudega, da bi ostal sklep Božji poleg izbire,
12 it was said to her, “The elder will serve the younger.”
Ne za voljo del, nego za voljo tistega, kteri kliče, reklo se jej je: "Veči bo služil manjšemu."
13 Even as it is written, “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”
Kakor je pisano: "Jakoba sem ljubil, a Ezava sovražil."
14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? May it never be!
Kaj torej porečemo? krivica je pri Bogu? Bog ne daj!
15 For he said to Moses, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”
Kajti Mojzesu govori: "Pomiloval bom, kogar pomilujem, in usmilil se ga bom, kogar se usmiljujem."
16 So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who has mercy.
To torej ni v moči ne tega, kteri hoče, ne tega, kteri ne če, nego Boga, kteri pomiluje.
17 For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, “For this very purpose I caused you to be raised up, that I might show in you my power, and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.”
Kajti pismo govori Faraonu: "Za to sem te obudil, da pokažem na tebi svojo moč, in da se oznani moje ime po vsej zemlji."
18 So then, he has mercy on whom he desires, and he hardens whom he desires.
Tako torej, kogar hoče, pomiluje, a kogar hoče, trdi.
19 You will say then to me, “Why does he still find fault? For who withstands his will?”
Porečeš mi torej; kaj se še toži? kdo njegovej volji nasprotuje?
20 But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed ask him who formed it, “Why did you make me like this?”
Ali kdo si ti, o človek, kteri se z Bogom pregovarjaš? poreče li izdelek izdelovalcu: za kaj si me naredil tako?
21 Or hasn’t the potter a right over the clay, from the same lump to make one part a vessel for honor, and another for dishonor?
Nima li oblasti lončar nad glino, da iz ravno tiste grude naredi eno posodo za čast, a drugo za nečast?
22 What if God, willing to show his wrath and to make his power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction,
Če je Bog hotel pokazati jezo in razglasiti svojo moč, prenesel je v velikej potrpljivosti posode jeze pripravljene za pogubo.
23 and that he might make known the riches of his glory on vessels of mercy, which he prepared beforehand for glory—
In da bi razglasil bogastvo slave svoje na posodah usmiljenja, ktere je naprej pripravil za zlavo,
24 us, whom he also called, not from the Jews only, but also from the Gentiles?
Ktere nas je tudi poklical ne samo izmed Judov, nego tudi izmed poganov;
25 As he says also in Hosea, “I will call them ‘my people,’ which were not my people; and her ‘beloved,’ who was not beloved.”
(Kakor tudi pri Oseji pravi: "Imenoval bom ne moje ljudstvo svoje ljudstvo, in ne ljubico ljubico."
26 “It will be that in the place where it was said to them, ‘You are not my people,’ there they will be called ‘children of the living God.’”
In bode, na mestu, kjer se jim je reklo: "Niste moj narod vi, tam se bodo imenovali sinovi Boga živega."
27 Isaiah cries concerning Israel, “If the number of the children of Israel are as the sand of the sea, it is the remnant who will be saved;
Izaija pa vpije nad Izraelom: "Ko bi bilo število sinov Izraelovih kolikor morskega peska, ostanek se bo zveličal."
28 for he will finish the work and cut it short in righteousness, because the Lord will make a short work upon the earth.”
Kajti besedo je dokončeval in skrajševal v pravici, da bo besedo skrajšano storil Gospod na zemlji."
29 As Isaiah has said before, “Unless the Lord of Armies had left us a seed, we would have become like Sodom, and would have been made like Gomorrah.”
In kakor je najprej povedal Izaija: "Ko bi Gospod: Sabaot, ne bil pustil nam semena, kakor Sodoma bili bi postali in Gomori podobni.")
30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, who didn’t follow after righteousness, attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith;
Kaj torej porečemo? da so pogani, kteri niso iskali pravice, dobili pravico, ali pravico, ktera je iz vere;
31 but Israel, following after a law of righteousness, didn’t arrive at the law of righteousness.
A Izrael iskajoč postavo pravice na postavo pravice ni zadel?
32 Why? Because they didn’t seek it by faith, but as it were by works of the law. They stumbled over the stumbling stone,
Za voljo česa? ker ni iz vere, nego kakor iz del pravice; kajti spotaknili so se ob kamen spotike,
33 even as it is written, “Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and a rock of offense; and no one who believes in him will be disappointed.”
Kakor je pisano: Glej, polagam v Sionu kamen spotike in skalo pohujšanja; in kdorkoli veruje v njega, osramotil se ne bo.
