Rimljanom 4
1 Kaj bomo torej rekli, da je našel Abraham, naš oče, kar se nanaša na meso?
What shall we say then that Abraham our father obtained according to the flesh?
2 Kajti če bi bil Abraham opravičen po delih, bi se imel s čim ponašati; toda ne pred Bogom.
for if Abraham were justified by works, he hath something to boast of; but this he hath not before God:
3 Kajti kaj pravi pismo? Abraham je verjel Bogu in to mu je bilo šteto za pravičnost.
for what saith the scripture? "Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness."
4 Torej tistemu, ki dela, nagrada ni šteta po milosti, temveč po dolgu.
Now to him that worketh the reward is not reckoned as a favor, but as a debt:
5 Toda tistemu, ki ne dela, temveč veruje v tistega, ki opravičuje brezbožnega, je njegova vera šteta za pravičnost.
but to him that worketh not, but believeth on Him who justifieth the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness.
6 Celo kakor tudi David opisuje blaženost človeka, ki mu Bog pripisuje pravičnost brez del,
As David also describeth the blessedness of the man to whom: God imputeth righteousness without works, saying,
7 rekoč: ›Blagoslovljeni so tisti, katerih krivičnosti so odpuščene in katerih grehi so pokriti.
"Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered:
8 Blagoslovljen je človek, ki mu Gospod ne bo pripisal greha.‹
blessed is the man to whom the Lord imputeth not sin."
9 Prihaja potem ta blaženost samo na obrezo ali tudi na neobrezo? Kajti pravimo, da je bila vera Abrahamu šteta za pravičnost.
Now is this blessedness upon the circumcised only, or upon the uncircumcised also? for we say that faith was accounted to Abraham for righteousness.
10 Kako je bila potem šteta? Ko je bil v obrezi ali v neobrezi? Ne v obrezi, temveč [ko je bil] v neobrezi.
How then was it accounted to him? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
11 In ko je bil še neobrezan, je prejel znamenje obreze, pečat pravičnosti vere, ki jo je imel, da bi bil lahko oče vseh teh, ki verujejo, čeprav niso obrezani, da bi bila lahko tudi njim pripisana pravičnost;
And he received the sign of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had in uncircumcision: that he might be the father of all that believe though not circumcised, that righteousness may be imputed to them also:
12 in oče obrezanih, teh, ki niso samo iz obreze, temveč ki tudi hodijo po stopinjah tiste vere našega očeta Abrahama, ki jo je imel, ko je bil še neobrezan.
and the father of circumcision to those, who not only are of the circumcision, but also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had in uncircumcision.
13 Kajti obljuba, da naj bi bil dedič sveta, ni bila [dana] Abrahamu ali njegovemu semenu preko postave, temveč preko pravičnosti iz vere.
For the promise made to Abraham, or to his seed, that he should be heir of the world, was not by the law, but by the righteousness of faith:
14 Kajti če bodo dediči tisti, ki so iz postave, je vera ničeva in obljuba brez učinka;
for if they only that are of the law be heirs, faith is made useless, and the promise is become of no effect.
15 zato ker postava povzroča bes; kajti kjer ni nobene postave, tam ni prestopka.
Now the law worketh wrath; for where there is no law, there is no transgression.
16 Torej je to iz vere, da bi bilo lahko po milosti; z namenom, da bi bila obljuba lahko zanesljiva vsemu semenu; ne samo temu, ki je iz postave, temveč tudi temu, ki je iz Abrahamove vere, ki je oče nas vseh,
And therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace, that so the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but also to that which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all,
17 (kakor je pisano: ›Naredil sem te za očeta mnogih narodov‹) pred njim, ki mu je veroval, celó [pred] Bogom, ki oživlja mrtve in kliče te stvari, ki niso, kakor da bi bile.
(as it is written, "I have made thee a father of many nations,") in the sight of Him whom he believed, even God, who giveth life to the dead, and calleth the things that are not as if they were:
18 Ki je proti upanju veroval v upanje, da bi lahko postal oče mnogih narodov; glede na to, kar je bilo spregovorjeno: ›Takšno bo tvoje seme.‹
who against hope believed, with hope, that he should be the father of many nations, according to that which was said unto him, "So shall thy seed be."
19 In ker ni bil slaboten v veri, ko je bil star okoli sto let, svojega lastnega telesa torej ni imel za mrtvega niti ne še omrtvelost Sarine maternice.
And not being weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, being about an hundred years old; nor the deadness of Sarah's womb.
20 Ob Božji obljubi ni okleval zaradi nevere, temveč je bil močan v veri in dal slavo Bogu;
He hesitated not at the promise of God through unbelief: but was strong in faith, giving glory to God,
21 in je bil popolnoma prepričan, da kar je on obljubil, je zmožen tudi izpolniti.
and being fully persuaded, that what was promised He was able to perform:
22 Zato mu je bilo to šteto za pravičnost.
and therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.
23 Torej, da mu je bilo šteto, to ni bilo napisano samo zaradi njega,
Now it was not written on his account only, that it was imputed to him:
24 temveč tudi zaradi nas, ki nam bo šteto, če verujemo v tistega, ki je obudil našega Gospoda Jezusa od mrtvih;
but for our sakes also, to him it will be imputed, as we believe on Him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead:
25 ki je bil izročen zaradi naših prestopkov in je bil ponovno obujen zaradi našega opravičenja.
who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.
