Romans 9
1 Truth I say in Christ, I lie not, my conscience bearing testimony 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 grief and unceasing pain in my heart —
Da imam veliko žalost in neprenehano bolečino v svojem srcu.
3 for I was wishing, I myself, to be anathema from the Christ — for my brethren, my kindred, 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, and the glory, and the covenants, and the lawgiving, and the service, and the promises,
Kteri so Izraelci, kterih je posinstvo, in slava, in zaveze, in postavodajstvo, in služba, in obljube,
5 whose [are] the fathers, and of whom [is] the Christ, according to the flesh, who is over all, God blessed to the ages. 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 And it is not possible that the word of God hath failed; for not all who [are] of Israel are these Israel;
Ni pa tako, da je beseda Božja izgubljena, ker niso vsi ti Izraelci, kteri so od Izraela.
7 nor because they are seed of Abraham [are] all children, but — 'in Isaac shall a seed be called to thee;'
Tudi kteri so seme Abrahamovo, niso vsi otroci, nego: "Izaku se ti bo imenovalo seme."
8 that is, the children of the flesh — these [are] not children of God; but the children of the promise are reckoned for seed;
To je, niso ti, kteri so otroci mesa, otroci Božji, nego otroci obljube računijo se za seme.
9 for the word of promise [is] this; 'According to this time I will come, and there shall be to Sarah a son.'
Kajti beseda obljube je ta: "Ta čas bom prišel in Sara bo imela sina."
10 And not only [so], but also Rebecca, having conceived by one — Isaac our father —
Pa ne samo ona, nego tudi Rebeka, z enim imajoč otroke, z Izakom očetom našim;
11 (for they being not yet born, neither having done anything good or evil, that the purpose of God, according to choice, might remain; not of works, but of Him who is calling, ) it was said to her —
Kajti ko se še nista narodila, tudi ne storila kaj dobrega ali hudega, da bi ostal sklep Božji poleg izbire,
12 'The greater shall serve the less;'
Ne za voljo del, nego za voljo tistega, kteri kliče, reklo se jej je: "Veči bo služil manjšemu."
13 according as it hath been written, 'Jacob I did love, and Esau I did hate.'
Kakor je pisano: "Jakoba sem ljubil, a Ezava sovražil."
14 What, then, shall we say? unrighteousness [is] with God? let it not be!
Kaj torej porečemo? krivica je pri Bogu? Bog ne daj!
15 for to Moses He saith, 'I will do kindness to whom I do kindness, 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 — not of him who is willing, nor of him who is running, but of God who is doing kindness:
To torej ni v moči ne tega, kteri hoče, ne tega, kteri ne če, nego Boga, kteri pomiluje.
17 for the Writing saith to Pharaoh — 'For this very thing I did raise thee up, that I might shew in thee My power, and that My name might be declared in all the land;'
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, to whom He willeth, He doth kindness, and to whom He willeth, He doth harden.
Tako torej, kogar hoče, pomiluje, a kogar hoče, trdi.
19 Thou wilt say, then, to me, 'Why yet doth He find fault? for His counsel who hath resisted?'
Porečeš mi torej; kaj se še toži? kdo njegovej volji nasprotuje?
20 nay, but, O man, who art thou that art answering again to God? shall the thing formed say to Him who did form [it], Why me didst thou make thus?
Ali kdo si ti, o človek, kteri se z Bogom pregovarjaš? poreče li izdelek izdelovalcu: za kaj si me naredil tako?
21 hath not the potter authority over the clay, out of the same lump to make the one vessel to honour, and the one to dishonour?
Nima li oblasti lončar nad glino, da iz ravno tiste grude naredi eno posodo za čast, a drugo za nečast?
22 And if God, willing to shew the wrath and to make known His power, did endure, in much long suffering, vessels of wrath fitted 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 kindness, that He before prepared for glory, whom also He did call — us —
In da bi razglasil bogastvo slave svoje na posodah usmiljenja, ktere je naprej pripravil za zlavo,
24 not only out of Jews, but also out of nations,
Ktere nas je tudi poklical ne samo izmed Judov, nego tudi izmed poganov;
25 as also in Hosea He saith, 'I will call what [is] not My people — My people; and her not beloved — Beloved,
(Kakor tudi pri Oseji pravi: "Imenoval bom ne moje ljudstvo svoje ljudstvo, in ne ljubico ljubico."
26 and it shall be — in the place where it was said to them, Ye [are] not My people; there they shall be called sons 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 And Isaiah doth cry concerning Israel, 'If the number of the sons of Israel may be as the sand of the sea, the remnant shall be saved;
Izaija pa vpije nad Izraelom: "Ko bi bilo število sinov Izraelovih kolikor morskega peska, ostanek se bo zveličal."
28 for a matter He is finishing, and is cutting short in righteousness, because a matter cut short will the Lord do upon the land.
Kajti besedo je dokončeval in skrajševal v pravici, da bo besedo skrajšano storil Gospod na zemlji."
29 and according as Isaiah saith before, 'Except the Lord of Sabaoth did leave to us a seed, as Sodom we had become, and as Gomorrah we had been made like.'
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, then, shall we say? that nations who are not pursuing righteousness did attain to righteousness, and righteousness that [is] of faith,
Kaj torej porečemo? da so pogani, kteri niso iskali pravice, dobili pravico, ali pravico, ktera je iz vere;
31 and Israel, pursuing a law of righteousness, at a law of righteousness did not arrive;
A Izrael iskajoč postavo pravice na postavo pravice ni zadel?
32 wherefore? because — not by faith, but as by works of law; for they did stumble at the stone of stumbling,
Za voljo česa? ker ni iz vere, nego kakor iz del pravice; kajti spotaknili so se ob kamen spotike,
33 according as it hath been written, 'Lo, I place in Sion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence; and every one who is believing thereon shall not be ashamed.'
Kakor je pisano: Glej, polagam v Sionu kamen spotike in skalo pohujšanja; in kdorkoli veruje v njega, osramotil se ne bo.
