Romans 8
1 There is, then, now no condemnation to those in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit;
Torej sedaj ni nobene obsodbe tem, ki so v Kristusu Jezusu, ki ne živijo po mesu, temveč po Duhu.
2 for the law of the Spirit of the life in Christ Jesus did set me free from the law of the sin and of the death;
Kajti postava Duha življenja v Kristusu Jezusu me je osvobodila postave greha in smrti.
3 for what the law was not able to do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, His own Son having sent in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, did condemn the sin in the flesh,
Kajti česar postava ni mogla storiti, ker je bila slabotna po mesu, je [storil] Bog, ki je poslal svojega lastnega Sina v podobnosti grešnega mesa in za greh [in] obsodil greh v mesu,
4 that the righteousness of the law may be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
da bi se lahko dopolnila pravičnost postave v nas, ki ne živimo po mesu, temveč po Duhu.
5 For those who are according to the flesh, the things of the flesh do mind; and those according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit;
Kajti tisti, ki so po mesu, razmišljajo mesene stvari; toda tisti, ki so po Duhu, stvari od Duha.
6 for the mind of the flesh [is] death, and the mind of the Spirit — life and peace;
Kajti biti mesenega mišljenja je smrt; toda biti duhovnega mišljenja je življenje in mir.
7 because the mind of the flesh [is] enmity to God, for to the law of God it doth not subject itself,
Ker je meseno mišljenje sovraštvo zoper Boga; kajti to ni podrejeno Božji postavi niti zares ne more biti.
8 for neither is it able; and those who are in the flesh are not able to please God.
Zaradi tega tisti, ki so v mesu, ne morejo ugajati Bogu.
9 And ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God doth dwell in you; and if any one hath not the Spirit of Christ — this one is not His;
Toda vi niste v mesu, temveč v Duhu, če je tako, da v vas prebiva Božji Duh. Torej, če katerikoli človek nima Kristusovega Duha, ni njegov.
10 and if Christ [is] in you, the body, indeed, [is] dead because of sin, and the Spirit [is] life because of righteousness,
In če je Kristus v vas, je telo mrtvo zaradi greha; toda Duh je življenje zaradi pravičnosti.
11 and if the Spirit of Him who did raise up Jesus out of the dead doth dwell in you, He who did raise up the Christ out of the dead shall quicken also your dying bodies, through His Spirit dwelling in you.
Toda če v vas prebiva Duh tistega, ki je Jezusa obudil od mrtvih, bo tisti, ki je po svojem Duhu, ki prebiva v vas, obudil Kristusa od mrtvih, tudi oživil vaša umrljiva telesa.
12 So, then, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh;
Torej bratje, mi smo dolžniki, [vendar] ne mesu, da bi živeli po mesu.
13 for if according to the flesh ye do live, ye are about to die; and if, by the Spirit, the deeds of the body ye put to death, ye shall live;
Kajti če živite po mesu, boste umrli, toda če po Duhu morite dejanja telesa, boste živeli.
14 for as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God;
Kajti kolikor jih je vodeno po Božjem Duhu, so Božji sinovi.
15 for ye did not receive a spirit of bondage again for fear, but ye did receive a spirit of adoption in which we cry, 'Abba — Father.'
Kajti niste ponovno prejeli duha suženjstva za strah, temveč ste prejeli Duha posvojitve, s katerim kličemo: »Aba, Oče.«
16 The Spirit himself doth testify with our spirit, that we are children of God;
Sam Duh z našim duhom prinaša pričevanje, da smo Božji otroci.
17 and if children, also heirs, heirs, indeed, of God, and heirs together of Christ — if, indeed, we suffer together, that we may also be glorified together.
In če smo otroci, potem smo dediči; Božji dediči in sodediči s Kristusom, če je tako, da z njim trpimo, da bomo lahko tudi skupaj proslavljeni.
18 For I reckon that the sufferings of the present time [are] not worthy [to be compared] with the glory about to be revealed in us;
Kajti menim, da trpljenja tega sedanjega časa niso vredna, da se primerjajo s slavo, ki se bo razodela v nas.
19 for the earnest looking out of the creation doth expect the revelation of the sons of God;
Kajti iskreno pričakovanje stvarstva pričakuje manifestacijo Božjih sinov.
20 for to vanity was the creation made subject — not of its will, but because of Him who did subject [it] — in hope,
Kajti stvarstvo je bilo podvrženo ničevosti, ne voljno, temveč zaradi njega, ki si je le-to podvrgel v upanju,
21 that also the creation itself shall be set free from the servitude of the corruption to the liberty of the glory of the children of God;
ker bo tudi stvarstvo samo rešeno iz suženjstva trohnenja v veličastno svobodo Božjih otrok.
22 for we have known that all the creation doth groan together, and doth travail in pain together till now.
Kajti vemo, da celotno stvarstvo do zdaj skupaj stoka in se muči v bolečini.
23 And not only [so], but also we ourselves, having the first-fruit of the Spirit, we also ourselves in ourselves do groan, adoption expecting — the redemption of our body;
Pa ne samo oni, temveč tudi mi, ki imamo prve sadove Duha, celo mi sami v sebi stokamo in čakamo na posvojitev, to je, odkupitev našega telesa.
24 for in hope we were saved, and hope beheld is not hope; for what any one doth behold, why also doth he hope for [it]?
Kajti rešeni smo po upanju; toda upanje, ki je videno, ni upanje; kajti kar človek vidi, čemu potem še upa?
25 and if what we do not behold we hope for, through continuance we expect [it].
Toda če upamo na to, česar ne vidimo, potem to pričakujemo s potrpežljivostjo.
26 And, in like manner also, the Spirit doth help our weaknesses; for, what we may pray for, as it behoveth [us], we have not known, but the Spirit himself doth make intercession for us with groanings unutterable,
Prav tako tudi Duh pomaga našim slabotnostim; kajti ne vemo, za kaj naj bi molili, kot bi morali, toda sam Duh posreduje za nas s stoki, ki ne morejo biti izrečeni.
27 and He who is searching the hearts hath known what [is] the mind of the Spirit, because according to God he doth intercede for saints.
In tisti, ki preiskuje srca, ve, kakšno je mišljenje Duha, ker on posreduje za svete glede na Božjo voljo.
28 And we have known that to those loving God all things do work together for good, to those who are called according to purpose;
In mi vemo, da vse stvari skupaj delajo v dobro tem, ki ljubijo Boga, tem, ki so poklicani glede na njegov namen.
29 because whom He did foreknow, He also did fore-appoint, conformed to the image of His Son, that he might be first-born among many brethren;
Kajti katere je vnaprej poznal, je prav tako vnaprej določil, da bodo skladni podobi njegovega Sina, da bi bil ta lahko prvorojenec med mnogimi brati.
30 and whom He did fore-appoint, these also He did call; and whom He did call, these also He declared righteous; and whom He declared righteous, these also He did glorify.
Poleg tega, katere je vnaprej določil, jih je tudi poklical; in katere je poklical, te je tudi opravičil; in katere je opravičil, te je tudi proslavil.
31 What, then, shall we say unto these things? if God [is] for us, who [is] against us?
Kaj bomo potem rekli k tem stvarem? Če je Bog za nas, kdo je lahko zoper nas?
32 He who indeed His own Son did not spare, but for us all did deliver him up, how shall He not also with him the all things grant to us?
On, ki ni prizanesel svojemu lastnemu sinu, temveč ga je izročil za nas vse, kako nam ne bo z njim velikodušno dal tudi vseh stvari?
33 Who shall lay a charge against the choice ones of God? God [is] He that is declaring righteous,
Kdo bo karkoli položil k obtožbi Božjih izvoljencev? Bog je, ki opravičuje.
34 who [is] he that is condemning? Christ [is] He that died, yea, rather also, was raised up; who is also on the right hand of God — who also doth intercede for us.
Kdo je, kdor obsoja? To je Kristus, ki je umrl, da, bolje rečeno, ki je bil obujen, ki je celó na Božji desnici, ki prav tako posreduje za nas.
35 Who shall separate us from the love of the Christ? tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
Kdo nas bo ločil od Kristusove ljubezni? Nas bo tegoba ali nesreča ali preganjanje ali lakota ali nagota ali nevarnost ali meč?
36 (according as it hath been written — 'For Thy sake we are put to death all the day long, we were reckoned as sheep of slaughter,')
Kakor je pisano: ›Kajti zaradi tebe smo ves dan pobijani, imajo nas kakor ovce za klanje.‹
37 but in all these we more than conquer, through him who loved us;
Ne, v vseh teh stvareh smo več kot zmagovalci po njem, ki nas je vzljubil.
38 for I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor messengers, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present,
Kajti prepričan sem, da nas niti smrt, niti življenje, niti angeli, niti kneževine, niti moči, niti sedanje stvari, niti stvari, ki pridejo,
39 nor things about to be, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of god, that [is] in Christ Jesus our Lord.
niti višina, niti globina, niti katerokoli drugo ustvarjeno bitje ne bo zmožno ločiti od Božje ljubezni, ki je v Kristusu Jezusu, našem Gospodu.
