Galačanom 2
1 Potem sem po štirinajstih letih ponovno z Barnabom odšel gor v Jeruzalem in s seboj vzel tudi Tita.
Fourteen years afterwards I went up to Jerusalem again with Barnabas, and I took Titus also with me.
2 In gor sem odšel po razodetju in jim posredoval ta evangelij, ki ga oznanjam med pogani, toda skrivaj tem, ki so bili ugledni, da ne bi na kakršenkoli način tekel ali sem tekel zaman.
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 Toda niti Tit, ki je bil z menoj, ki je bil Grk, ni bil prisiljen, da se obreže.
Yet even my companion, Titus, though a Greek, was not compelled to be circumcised.
4 In to zaradi nepričakovano privedenih lažnih bratov, ki so prišli na skrivnem, da zalezujejo našo svobodo, ki jo imamo v Kristusu Jezusu, da bi nas lahko privedli v suženjstvo;
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 katerim nismo niti za eno uro dali prostora s podložnostjo, da bi se evangelijska resnica lahko nadaljevala z vami.
Why, we did not for a moment yield submission to them, so that the truth of the good news might be yours always!
6 Toda izmed teh, ki so se zdeli, da so nekaj (karkoli so bili, mi ni važno; Bog ne sprejema človeške zunanjosti), kajti tisti, ki so se zdeli, da so nekaj, mi na posvetovanju niso ničesar dodali,
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 temveč nasprotno, ko so videli, da je bil evangelij neobreze zaupan meni, kakor je bil evangelij obreze Petru
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 (kajti, kdor je učinkovito deloval v Petru k apostolstvu obrezanih, isti je bil mogočen v meni za pogane).
For he who gave Peter power for his mission to the Jews gave me, also, power to go to the Gentiles.
9 In ko so Jakob, Kefa in Janez, ki se zdijo, da so stebri, zaznali milost, ki mi je bila dana, so meni in Barnabu podali desnice družabništva, da bi midva šla k poganom, oni pa k obrezanim.
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 Le želeli so, da bi se spominjala revnih; isto kar sem si tudi sam prizadeval storiti.
Only we were to remember the poor – the thing I was myself anxious to do.
11 Toda ko je Peter prišel v Antiohijo, sem se mu v obraz uprl, ker je bil za ošteti.
But, when Peter came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face; for he stood self-condemned.
12 Kajti preden so prišli nekateri od Jakoba, je jedel s pogani. Toda ko so prišli, se je umaknil in se oddvojil, ker se je bal teh, ki so bili iz obreze.
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 In prav tako so se z njim pretvarjali drugi Judje; do te mere, da je bil tudi Barnaba zapeljan z njihovim pretvarjanjem.
The rest of the Jewish converts were guilty of the same hypocrisy, so that even Barnabas was led away by it.
14 Toda ko sem videl, da niso živeli pošteno, glede na resnico evangelija, sem pred vsemi temi rekel Petru: »Če ti, ki si Jud, živiš po načinu poganov, ne pa, kakor počno Judje, zakaj siliš pogane, da živijo, kakor počno Judje?«
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 Mi, ki smo Judje po naravi, ne pa poganski grešniki,
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 vemo, da človek ni opravičen po delih postave, temveč po veri v Jezusa Kristusa, celó mi smo verovali v Jezusa Kristusa, da bi bili lahko opravičeni po veri v Kristusa, ne pa po delih postave, kajti po delih postave ne bo opravičeno nobeno meso.
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 Toda če smo, medtem ko si prizadevamo biti opravičeni po Kristusu, tudi mi sami spoznani [za] grešnike, je potemtakem Kristus služabnik greha? Bog ne daj.
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 Kajti če ponovno gradim stvari, ki sem jih uničil, samega sebe delam prestopnika.
For, if I rebuild the things that I pulled down, I prove myself to have done wrong.
19 Kajti po postavi sem mrtev postavi, da bi lahko živel Bogu.
I, indeed, through Law became dead to Law, in order to live for God.
20 Križan sem s Kristusom, pa vendar živim; vendar ne jaz, temveč Kristus živi v meni. In življenje, ki ga sedaj živim v mesu, živim po veri v Božjega Sina, ki me je ljubil in dal zame samega sebe.
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 Ne onemogočam Božje milosti; kajti če je pravičnost prišla po postavi, potem je Kristus umrl zaman.
I do not reject the love of God. If righteousness comes through Law, then there was no need for Christ to die!
