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 prayer to God for Israel is for their salvation.
2 Kajti prinašam jim pričevanje, da imajo gorečnost za Boga, toda ne glede spoznanja.
For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to real knowledge.
3 Kajti ker so bili nevedni glede Božje pravičnosti in so nameravali vzpostaviti svojo lastno pravičnost, se niso podvrgli Božji pravičnosti.
For they, failing to understand God's righteousness and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to God's righteousness.
4 Kajti Kristus je konec postave za pravičnost vsakemu, ki veruje.
Now for everyone who believes into righteousness, Christ is the end of the law
5 Kajti Mojzes opisuje pravičnost, ki je iz postave: ›Da bi človek, ki dela te stvari, živel po njih.‹
—Moses writes about the righteousness that is from the law: “The person who does these things 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 that is from faith speaks like 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?’” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). (Abyssos g12)
8 Toda kaj ta pravi? Beseda je blizu tebe, celó v tvojih ustih in v tvojem srcu; to je, beseda vere, ki jo oznanjamo;
So what does it say? “The message is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the message of faith that we proclaim):
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 confess with your mouth, “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.
Because with the heart one believes into righteousness, and with the mouth one promises into salvation.
11 Kajti pismo pravi: ›Kdorkoli veruje vanj, ne bo osramočen.‹
Because the Scripture says: “Everyone who believes on Him will never be put to shame”;
12 Kajti ni razlike med Judom in Grkom, kajti isti Gospod nad vsemi je bogat do vseh, ki kličejo k njemu.
because there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, since the same Lord of all is rich to all who call upon Him;
13 Kajti kdorkoli bo klical h Gospodovemu imenu, bo rešen.
because: “Everyone who calls 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? And how can they believe on Him of whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without someone proclaiming it?
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 proclaim unless they are sent? As it is written: “How timely is the arrival of those who bring good news of peace, of those who announce the good things.”
16 Toda evangeliju niso bili vsi poslušni. Kajti Izaija pravi: ›Gospod, kdo je verjel našemu poročilu?‹
(However, they did not all obey the gospel; because Isaiah says: “Lord, who has believed our message?”)
17 Tako potem vera prihaja po poslušanju in poslušanje po Božji besedi.
So, the faith is from a message, and that message is 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 they really not hear? Indeed yes: “Their voice has gone out into all the earth, and their spoken words to the ends of the inhabited 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.‹
Again I say, did Israel really not know? First Moses says: “I will provoke you to jealousy by a non-nation, I will move you to anger by a senseless nation.”
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.‹
But Isaiah is so bold as to say: “I was found by those who were not seeking me; I was revealed to those who were not asking for me.”
21 Toda Izraelu reče: ›Cel ljubi dan sem svoje roke iztegoval k neposlušnim in upornim ljudem.‹
But concerning Israel he says: “All day long I have held out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people.”
