Галатима 2
1 А потом на четрнаест година опет изиђох у Јерусалим с Варнавом, узевши са собом и Тита.
Fourteen years afterwards I went up to Jerusalem again with Barnabas, and I took Titus also with me.
2 Али изиђох по откривењу, и разговорих се с њима за јеванђеље које проповедам у незнабошцима, али насамо с онима који се бројаху као најстарији, да узалуд не трчим или не бих трчао.
It was in obedience to a revelation that I went; and I laid before the apostles the good news that I am proclaiming among the Gentiles. I did this privately before those who are thought highly of because I was afraid that I might possibly be taking, or might have already taken, a course which would prove useless.
3 Али ни Тит, који беше са мном, и беше Грк, не би натеран да се обреже.
Yet even my companion, Titus, though a Greek, was not compelled to be circumcised.
4 И за лажну браћу која дођоше и привукоше се да уходе слободу нашу коју имамо у Христу Исусу, да нас заробе;
But, because of those who pretended to be followers who had stolen in, the intruders who had crept in to spy on the liberty which we have through union with Christ Jesus, in order to bring us back to slavery –
5 Којима се ни сахат не подасмо у покорност, да истина јеванђеља остане међу нама.
Why, we did not for a moment yield submission to them, so that the truth of the good news might be yours always!
6 А за оне који се бројаху да су нешто, какви били да били, ја не марим ништа; јер Бог не гледа ко је ко; јер они који се бројаху као најстарији, мени ништа не додаше;
Of those who are thought somewhat highly of – what they once were makes no difference to me; God does not recognise human distinctions – those, I say, who are thought highly of added nothing to my message.
7 Него насупрот дознавши да је мени поверено јеванђеље у необрезанима, као Петру у обрезанима
On the contrary, they saw that I had been entrusted with the good news for the Gentiles, just as Peter had been for the Jews.
8 (Јер Онај који помаже Петру у апостолству међу обрезанима Онај помаже и мени међу незнабошцима, )
For he who gave Peter power for his mission to the Jews gave me, also, power to go to the Gentiles.
9 И познавши благодат која је мени дана, Јаков и Кифа и Јован, који се бројаху да су стубови, дадоше деснице мени и Варнави, и пристадоше да ми проповедамо у незнабошцима, а они у обрезанима;
Recognising the charge entrusted to me, James, Peter, and John, who were regarded as pillars of the church, openly acknowledged Barnabas and me as fellow workers, agreeing that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the Jews.
10 Само да се опомињемо сиромашних, за које сам се и старао тако чинити.
Only we were to remember the poor – the thing I was myself anxious to do.
11 А кад дође Петар у Антиохију, у очи њему против стадох; јер беше зазоран.
But, when Peter came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face; for he stood self-condemned.
12 Јер пре док не дођоше неки од Јакова, јеђаше с незнабошцима, а кад дођоше, устручаваше се и одвајаше бојећи се оних који су из обрезања.
Before certain persons came from James, he had been in the habit of eating with the Gentile converts; but, when they came, he began to withdraw and hold aloof, because he was afraid of offending those who still held to circumcision.
13 И дволичаху с њим и остали Јудејци, тако да и Варнава приста у њихово дволичење.
The rest of the Jewish converts were guilty of the same hypocrisy, so that even Barnabas was led away by it.
14 А кад ја видех да не иду право к истини јеванђеља, рекох Петру пред свима: Кад ти који си Јеврејин незнабожачки а не јеврејски живиш, зашто незнабошце нагониш да живе јеврејски?
But, when I saw that they were not dealing straightforwardly with the truth of the good news, I said to Peter, before them all, ‘If you, who were born a Jew, adopt Gentile customs, instead of Jewish, why are you trying to compel the Gentile converts to adopt Jewish customs?’
15 Ми који смо рођени Јевреји, а не грешници из незнабожаца,
We, though we are Jews by birth and not sinners of Gentile origin, know that no one is pronounced righteous as the result of obedience to Law, but only through faith in Christ Jesus.
16 Па дознавши да се човек неће оправдати делима закона, него само вером Исуса Христа, и ми веровасмо Христа Исуса да се оправдамо вером Христовом, а не делима закона: јер се делима закона никакво тело неће оправдати.
So we placed our faith in Christ Jesus, in order that we might be pronounced righteous, as the result of faith in Christ, and not of obedience to Law; for such obedience will not result in even one soul’s being pronounced righteous.
17 Ако ли се ми који тражимо да се оправдамо Христом, нађосмо и сами грешници, дакле је Христос греху слуга? Боже сачувај!
If, while seeking to be pronounced righteous through union with Christ, we were ourselves seen to be sinners, would that make Christ an agent of sin? Heaven forbid!
18 Јер ако опет зидам оно што развалих, показујем се да сам преступник.
For, if I rebuild the things that I pulled down, I prove myself to have done wrong.
19 Јер ја законом закону умрех да Богу живим; с Христом се разапех.
I, indeed, through Law became dead to Law, in order to live for God.
20 А ја више не живим, него живи у мени Христос. А што сад живим у телу, живим вером Сина Божјег, коме омилех, и предаде себе за мене.
I have been crucified with Christ. So it is no longer I that live, but it is Christ who lives in me; and, as for my present earthly life, I am living it by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
21 Не одбацујем благодати Божје; јер ако правда кроз закон долази, то Христос узалуд умре.
I do not reject the love of God. If righteousness comes through Law, then there was no need for Christ to die!
