Romans 1

1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, set apart for the Good News of God,

Od Pavla, sluge Isusa Hrista, pozvanoga apostola izabranoga za jevanðelje Božije,

2 which he promised before through his prophets in the holy Scriptures,

Koje Bog naprijed obeæa preko proroka svojijeh u svetijem pismima

3 concerning his Son, who was born of the offspring of David according to the flesh,

O sinu svojemu, koji je po tijelu roðen od sjemena Davidova,

4 who was declared to be the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord,

A posvjedoèen silno za sina Božijega Duhom svetinje po vaskrseniju iz mrtvijeh, Isusu Hristu Gospodu našemu,

5 through whom we received grace and apostleship for obedience of faith among all the nations for his name’s sake;

Preko kojega primismo blagodat i apostolstvo, da pokorimo sve neznabošce vjeri imena njegovoga;

6 among whom you are also called to belong to Jesus Christ;

Meðu kojima ste i vi pozvani Isusu Hristu,

7 to all who are in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Svima koji su u Rimu, ljubaznima Bogu, i pozvanima svetima: blagodat vam i mir od Boga oca našega i Gospoda Isusa Hrista.

8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, that your faith is proclaimed throughout the whole world.

Prvo dakle zahvaljujem Bogu svojemu kroz Isusa Hrista za sve vas što se vjera vaša glasi po svemu svijetu.

9 For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the Good News of his Son, how unceasingly I make mention of you always in my prayers,

Jer mi je svjedok Bog, kojemu služim duhom svojijem u jevanðelju sina njegova, da vas se opominjem bez prestanka,

10 requesting, if by any means now at last I may be prospered by the will of God to come to you.

Moleæi se svagda Bogu u molitvama svojijem da bi mi kad Božija volja pomogla da doðem k vama;

11 For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, to the end that you may be established;

Jer želim vidjeti vas, da vam dam kakav duhovni dar za vaše utvrðenje,

12 that is, that I with you may be encouraged in you, each of us by the other’s faith, both yours and mine.

To jest, da se s vama utješim vjerom opštom, i vašom i mojom.

13 Now I don’t desire to have you unaware, brothers, that I often planned to come to you (and was hindered so far), that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among the rest of the Gentiles.

Ali vam neæu zatajiti, braæo, da sam mnogo puta htio da vam doðem, pa bih zadržan doslije, da i meðu vama imam kakav plod, kao i meðu ostalijem neznabošcima.

14 I am debtor both to Greeks and to foreigners, both to the wise and to the foolish.

Dužan sam i Grcima i divljacima, i mudrima i nerazumnima.

15 So as much as is in me, I am eager to preach the Good News to you also who are in Rome.

Zato, od moje strane, gotov sam i vama u Rimu propovjediti jevanðelje.

16 For I am not ashamed of the Good News of Christ, because it is the power of God for salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first, and also for the Greek.

Jer se ne stidim jevanðelja Hristova; jer je sila Božija na spasenije svakome koji vjeruje, a najprije Jevrejinu i Grku.

17 For in it is revealed God’s righteousness from faith to faith. As it is written, “But the righteous shall live by faith.”

Jer se u njemu javlja pravda Božija iz vjere u vjeru, kao što je napisano: pravednik æe od vjere živ biti.

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,

Jer se otkriva gnjev Božij s neba na svaku bezbožnost i nepravdu ljudi koji drže istinu u nepravdi.

19 because that which is known of God is revealed in them, for God revealed it to them.

Jer što se može doznati za Boga poznato je njima: jer im je Bog javio;

20 For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. (aïdios g126)

Jer što se na njemu ne može vidjeti, od postanja svijeta moglo se poznati i vidjeti na stvorenjima, i njegova vjeèna sila i božanstvo, da nemaju izgovora. (aïdios g126)

21 Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened.

Jer kad poznaše Boga, ne proslaviše ga kao Boga niti mu zahvališe, nego zaludješe u svojijem mislima, i potamnje nerazumno srce njihovo.

22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

Kad se graðahu mudri, poludješe,

23 and traded the glory of the incorruptible God for the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, four-footed animals, and creeping things.

I pretvoriše slavu vjeènoga Boga u oblièje smrtnoga èovjeka i ptica i èetvoronožnijeh životinja i gadova.

24 Therefore God also gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to uncleanness, that their bodies should be dishonored among themselves;

Zato ih predade Bog u željama njihovijeh srca u neèistotu, da se pogane tjelesa njihova meðu njima samima;

25 who exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

Koji pretvoriše istinu Božiju u laž, i veæma poštovaše i poslužiše tvar nego tvorca, koji je blagosloven vavijek. Amin. (aiōn g165)

26 For this reason, God gave them up to vile passions. For their women changed the natural function into that which is against nature.

Zato ih predade Bog u sramne slasti; jer žene njihove pretvoriše putno upotrebljavanje u besputno.

27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural function of the woman, burned in their lust toward one another, men doing what is inappropriate with men, and receiving in themselves the due penalty of their error.

Tako i ljudi ostavivši putno upotrebljavanje ženskoga roda, raspališe se željom svojom jedan na drugoga, i ljudi s ljudima èinjahu sram, i platu koja trebaše za prijevaru njihovu primahu na sebi.

28 Even as they refused to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting;

I kao što ne marahu da poznadu Boga, zato ih Bog predade u pokvaren um da èine što ne valja,

29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, malice; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil habits, secret slanderers,

Da budu napunjeni svake nepravde, kurvarstva, zloæe, lakomstva, pakosti; puni zavisti, ubistva, svaðe, lukavstva, zloæudnosti;

30 backbiters, hateful to God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

Šaptaèi, opadaèi, bogomrsci, siledžije, hvališe, ponositi, izmišljaèi zala, nepokorni roditeljima,

31 without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, unforgiving, unmerciful;

Nerazumni, nevjere, neljubavni, neprimirljivi, nemilostivi.

32 who, knowing the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also approve of those who practice them.

A neki i pravdu Božiju poznavši da koji to èine zaslužuju smrt, ne samo to èine, nego pristaju na to i onima koji èine.
