Rimljanom 10
1 Bratje, moja srčna želja in prošnja k Bogu za Izrael je, da bi bili oni lahko rešeni.
Brothers, my heart’s desire and my prayer to God is for Israel, that they may be saved.
2 Kajti prinašam jim pričevanje, da imajo gorečnost za Boga, toda ne glede spoznanja.
For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.
3 Kajti ker so bili nevedni glede Božje pravičnosti in so nameravali vzpostaviti svojo lastno pravičnost, se niso podvrgli Božji pravičnosti.
For being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God.
4 Kajti Kristus je konec postave za pravičnost vsakemu, ki veruje.
For Christ is the fulfillment of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.
5 Kajti Mojzes opisuje pravičnost, ki je iz postave: ›Da bi človek, ki dela te stvari, živel po njih.‹
For Moses writes about the righteousness of the law, “The one who does them will live by them.”
6 Toda pravičnost, ki je iz vere, govori na ta način: »Ne reci v svojem srcu: ›Kdo se bo povzpel v nebo?‹ (to je, Kristusa privedel dol od zgoraj );
But the righteousness which is of faith says this, “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ (that is, to bring Christ down);
7 ali: ›Kdo se bo spustil v brezno?‹ (to je, da Kristusa ponovno privede gor od mrtvih).« (Abyssos g12)
or, 'Who will descend into the Abyss (Abyssos g12)?' (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead.)"
8 Toda kaj ta pravi? Beseda je blizu tebe, celó v tvojih ustih in v tvojem srcu; to je, beseda vere, ki jo oznanjamo;
But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart;” that is, the word of faith which we preach:
9 da če boš s svojimi usti priznal Gospoda Jezusa in boš v svojem srcu veroval, da ga je Bog obudil od mrtvih, boš rešen.
that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
10 Kajti s srcem človek veruje v pravičnost, z usti pa je narejeno priznanje v rešitev duše.
For with the heart one believes resulting in righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made resulting in salvation.
11 Kajti pismo pravi: ›Kdorkoli veruje vanj, ne bo osramočen.‹
For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes in him will not be disappointed.”
12 Kajti ni razlike med Judom in Grkom, kajti isti Gospod nad vsemi je bogat do vseh, ki kličejo k njemu.
For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, and is rich to all who call on him.
13 Kajti kdorkoli bo klical h Gospodovemu imenu, bo rešen.
For, “Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
14 Kako bodo torej klicali njega, v katerega niso verovali? In kako bodo verovali vanj, o katerem niso slišali? In kako bodo slišali brez oznanjevalca?
How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in him whom they have not heard? How will they hear without a preacher?
15 In kako bodo oznanjali, razen če niso poslani? Kakor je pisano: ›Kako krasna so stopala teh, ki oznanjajo evangelij miru in prinašajo vesele novice o dobrih stvareh!‹
And how will they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the Good News of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!”
16 Toda evangeliju niso bili vsi poslušni. Kajti Izaija pravi: ›Gospod, kdo je verjel našemu poročilu?‹
But they did not all listen to the glad news. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our report?”
17 Tako potem vera prihaja po poslušanju in poslušanje po Božji besedi.
So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
18 Vendar pravim: »Mar niso slišali?« Da, resnično, njihov glas je šel po vsej zemlji in njihove besede do koncev sveta.
But I say, did not they hear? Yes, most certainly, “Their sound went out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.”
19 Toda pravim: »Mar Izrael ni spoznal?« Mojzes najprej pravi: ›Izzval te bom k ljubosumju s tistimi, ki niso ljudstvo in z nespametnim narodom te bom jezil.‹
But I ask, did not Israel know? First Moses says, “I will provoke you to jealousy with that which is no nation. I will make you angry with a nation void of understanding.”
20 Toda Izaija je zelo pogumen in pravi: ›Našli so me tisti, ki me niso iskali; razodet sem bil tem, ki po meni niso spraševali.‹
Isaiah is very bold and says, “I was found by those who did not seek me. I was revealed to those who did not ask for me.”
21 Toda Izraelu reče: ›Cel ljubi dan sem svoje roke iztegoval k neposlušnim in upornim ljudem.‹
But about Israel he says, “All day long I stretched out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people.”
