Rimljanom 10
1 Bratje, moja srčna želja in prošnja k Bogu za Izrael je, da bi bili oni lahko rešeni.
BRETHREN, the kind wish of my heart indeed, and the prayer which I offer to God for Israel, is for their salvation.
2 Kajti prinašam jim pričevanje, da imajo gorečnost za Boga, toda ne glede spoznanja.
For I am a witness for 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 the righteousness which is of God, and seeking to establish a righteousness of their own, they have not submitted to the righteousness of God.
4 Kajti Kristus je konec postave za pravičnost vsakemu, ki veruje.
For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
5 Kajti Mojzes opisuje pravičnost, ki je iz postave: ›Da bi človek, ki dela te stvari, živel po njih.‹
For Moses describeth the righteousness which is by the law, “That the man who doeth these things shall 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 by faith speaketh thus, “Say not in thy heart, Who shall 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 shall descend into the abyss?” (that is, to bring Christ up again 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;
But what saith it? “The word is nigh thee, in thy mouth, and in thy 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 thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 Kajti s srcem človek veruje v pravičnost, z usti pa je narejeno priznanje v rešitev duše.
For with the heart faith is exercised unto righteousness; and with the mouth is confession made unto salvation.
11 Kajti pismo pravi: ›Kdorkoli veruje vanj, ne bo osramočen.‹
For the scripture saith, “Every one who believeth in him shall not be confounded.”
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 difference between either Jew or Greek: for the same Lord of all is rich to all that call upon him.
13 Kajti kdorkoli bo klical h Gospodovemu imenu, bo rešen.
“For every one shall be saved, whosoever calleth on the name of the Lord.”
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 shall they call upon him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe on him of whom they have not heard? but how shall 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 shall they preach unless they are sent? as it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, of those who preach the glad tidings of good things!”
16 Toda evangeliju niso bili vsi poslušni. Kajti Izaija pravi: ›Gospod, kdo je verjel našemu poročilu?‹
But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah saith, “Lord, who hath believed our report?”
17 Tako potem vera prihaja po poslušanju in poslušanje po Božji besedi.
Faith then cometh by report, but the report 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, Have they not heard? Yea verily, “the sound of their voice is gone forth into all the earth, and their words unto 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 say, Did not Israel know? Moses first saith, “I will excite your jealousy by what is no nation, and by an ignorant people will I provoke you to wrath.”
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 very bold, and saith, “I have been found by those who sought me not; I have become manifest to those who inquired not after me.”
21 Toda Izraelu reče: ›Cel ljubi dan sem svoje roke iztegoval k neposlušnim in upornim ljudem.‹
But unto Israel he saith, “All the day long have I stretched out my hands unto a people disobedient and contradicting.”
