Romans 15
1 And we ought — we who are strong — to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves;
Torej moramo mi, ki smo močni, prenašati slabotnosti šibkih, ne pa da ugajamo sebi.
2 for let each one of us please the neighbour for good, unto edification,
Naj vsak izmed nas ugaja svojemu bližnjemu v njegovo dobro, za izgrajevanje.
3 for even the Christ did not please himself, but, according as it hath been written, 'The reproaches of those reproaching Thee fell upon me;'
Kajti celó Kristus ni ugajal sebi; temveč, kakor je pisano: ›Graje teh, ki so te grajali, so padle name.‹
4 for, as many things as were written before, for our instruction were written before, that through the endurance, and the exhortation of the Writings, we might have the hope.
Kajti katerekoli stvari so bile vnaprej napisane, so bile napisane za naše učenje, da bi lahko preko potrpežljivosti in tolažbe iz pisem imeli upanje.
5 And may the God of the endurance, and of the exhortation, give to you to have the same mind toward one another, according to Christ Jesus;
Naj vam torej Bog potrpežljivosti in tolažbe zagotovi, da boste istih misli drug do drugega glede na Kristusa Jezusa;
6 that with one accord — with one mouth — ye may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ;
da boste lahko z enim umom in enimi usti slavili Boga, celó Očeta našega Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa.
7 wherefore receive ye one another, according as also the Christ did receive us, to the glory of God.
Zatorej sprejemajte drug drugega, kakor je tudi Kristus nas sprejel v Božjo slavo.
8 And I say Jesus Christ to have become a ministrant of circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises to the fathers,
Torej pravim, da je bil Jezus Kristus služabnik obreze za Božjo resnico, da potrdi obljube, narejene očetom,
9 and the nations for kindness to glorify God, according as it hath been written, 'Because of this I will confess to Thee among nations, and to Thy name I will sing praise,'
in da lahko pogani zaradi njegovega usmiljenja slavijo Boga; kakor je pisano: ›Zaradi tega razloga te bom priznal med pogani in prepeval tvojemu imenu.‹
10 and again it saith, 'Rejoice ye nations, with His people;'
In ponovno pravi: ›Veselite se, vi pogani, z njegovimi ljudmi.‹
11 and again, 'Praise the Lord, all ye nations; and laud Him, all ye peoples;'
In ponovno: ›Hvalíte Gospoda, vsi pogani; in povzdigujte ga vsi ljudje.‹
12 and again, Isaiah saith, 'There shall be the root of Jesse, and he who is rising to rule nations — upon him shall nations hope;'
In ponovno Izaija pravi: ›Jesejeva korenina bo in tisti, ki se bo dvignil, da kraljuje nad pogani; vanj bodo zaupali pogani.‹
13 and the God of the hope shall fill you with all joy and peace in the believing, for your abounding in the hope in power of the Holy Spirit.
Torej Bog upanja naj vas napolni z velikim veseljem in mirom v verovanju, da boste, po môči Svetega Duha, obilni v upanju.
14 And I am persuaded, my brethren — I myself also — concerning you, that ye yourselves also are full of goodness, having been filled with all knowledge, able also one another to admonish;
In tudi jaz sam sem prepričan o vas, moji bratje, da ste tudi vi polni dobrote, izpolnjeni z vsem spoznanjem, zmožni tudi drug drugega opominjati.
15 and the more boldly I did write to you, brethren, in part, as putting you in mind, because of the grace that is given to me by God,
Vendar, bratje, zaradi milosti, ki mi je dana od Boga, sem vam napisal na nek način pogumneje, kakor da vas spomnim,
16 for my being a servant of Jesus Christ to the nations, acting as priest in the good news of God, that the offering up of the nations may become acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
da naj bi bil jaz služabnik Jezusa Kristusa za pogane, ko služim Božjemu evangeliju, da bi bila daritev poganov, posvečena po Svetem Duhu, lahko sprejemljiva.
17 I have, then, a boasting in Christ Jesus, in the things pertaining to God,
Torej imam nekaj, s čimer se lahko po Jezusu Kristusu ponašam v teh stvareh, ki se nanašajo na Boga.
18 for I will not dare to speak anything of the things that Christ did not work through me, to obedience of nations, by word and deed,
Kajti ne bom si drznil govoriti o katerikoli izmed tistih stvari, ki jih Kristus ni naredil po meni, da bi naredil pogane poslušne v besedi in dejanju,
19 in power of signs and wonders, in power of the Spirit of God; so that I, from Jerusalem, and in a circle as far as Illyricum, have fully preached the good news of the Christ;
preko mogočnih znamenj in čudežev, po moči Božjega Duha; tako da sem od Jeruzalema in naokoli do Ilirika obširno oznanil Kristusov evangelij.
20 and so counting it honour to proclaim good news, not where Christ was named — that upon another's foundation I might not build —
Da, tako sem si prizadeval, da ne oznanim evangelija, kjer je bil Kristus imenovan, da ne bi gradil na temelju drugega človeka,
21 but according as it hath been written, 'To whom it was not told concerning him, they shall see; and they who have not heard, shall understand.'
temveč kakor je pisano: ›Katerim ni bilo govorjeno, bodo videli; in tisti, ki niso slišali, bodo razumeli.‹
22 Wherefore, also, I was hindered many times from coming unto you,
Zaradi tega razloga sem bil tudi sam zelo oviran, da pridem k vam.
23 and now, no longer having place in these parts, and having a longing to come unto you for many years,
Toda sedaj, ko v teh krajih nimam več prostora in imam ta mnoga leta veliko željo, da pridem k vam;
24 when I may go on to Spain I will come unto you, for I hope in going through, to see you, and by you to be set forward thither, if of you first, in part, I shall be filled.
kadarkoli se odpravim na svoje potovanje v Španijo, bom prišel k vam, kajti zaupam, da vas na svojem potovanju vidim in da bom na svoji poti tja priveden mimo vas, da bi bil najprej nekoliko izpolnjen z vašo druščino.
25 And, now, I go on to Jerusalem, ministering to the saints;
Toda sedaj grem v Jeruzalem, da služim svetim.
26 for it pleased Macedonia and Achaia well to make a certain contribution for the poor of the saints who [are] in Jerusalem;
Kajti tem iz Makedonije in Ahaje je ugajalo, da zberejo nek prispevek za revne svete, ki so v Jeruzalemu.
27 for it pleased well, and their debtors they are, for if in their spiritual things the nations did participate, they ought also, in the fleshly things, to minister to them.
To jih je resnično veselilo; in njihovi dolžniki so. Kajti če so pogani postali soudeleženi njihovih duhovnih stvari, je tudi njihova dolžnost, da jim služijo v mesenih stvareh.
28 This, then, having finished, and having sealed to them this fruit, I will return through you, to Spain;
Ko bom torej to opravil in jim zapečatil ta sad, bom mimo vas prišel v Španijo.
29 and I have known that coming unto you — in the fulness of the blessing of the good news of Christ I shall come.
In prepričan sem, ko pridem k vam, da bom prišel v polnosti blagoslova Kristusovega evangelija.
30 And I call upon you, brethren, through our Lord Jesus Christ, and through the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in the prayers for me unto God,
Sedaj vas rotim, bratje, zaradi Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa in zaradi ljubezni Duha, da se skupaj z menoj borite v svojih molitvah zame k Bogu;
31 that I may be delivered from those not believing in Judea, and that my ministration, that [is] for Jerusalem, may become acceptable to the saints;
da bom lahko rešen pred temi, ki v Judeji ne verujejo; in da bodo mojo službo, ki jo imam za Jeruzalem, sveti lahko sprejeli;
32 that in joy I may come unto you, through the will of God, and may be refreshed with you,
da bom lahko po Božji volji z veseljem prišel k vam in bom lahko skupaj z vami okrepčan.
33 and the God of the peace [be] with you all. Amen.
Torej Bog miru bodi z vami vsemi. Amen.
