Romans 7
1 Or don’t you know, brothers (for I speak to men who know the law), that the law has dominion over a man for as long as he lives?
Ne veste li, bratje, (tistim namreč, kteri postavo poznajo, govorim, ) da postava gospoduje nad človekom, kolikor časa živi?
2 For the woman that has a husband is bound by law to the husband while he lives, but if the husband dies, she is discharged from the law of the husband.
Kajti omožena žena je s postavo privezana na moža, dokler on živi; če jej pa umre, odvezana je od moža.
3 So then if, while the husband lives, she is joined to another man, she would be called an adulteress. But if the husband dies, she is free from the law, so that she is no adulteress, though she is joined to another man.
Za to se bo torej prešestnica imenovala, če, dokler nje mož živi, postane žena drugega moža; če pa mož umre, prosta je od postave, da ne bo prešestnica, če postane žena drugega moža.
4 Therefore, my brothers, you also were made dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you would be joined to another, to him who was raised from the dead, that we might produce fruit to God.
Tako, bratje moji, ste tudi vi umrli postavi po telesu Kristusovem, da postanete drugega, tistega, kteri je iz mrtvih vstal, da sad obrodimo Bogu.
5 For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were through the law worked in our members to bring out fruit to death.
Kajti ko smo bili v mesu, delale so v naših udih grešne strasti zbujene po postavi, da smrti sad obrodé.
6 But now we have been discharged from the law, having died to that in which we were held; so that we serve in newness of the spirit, and not in oldness of the letter.
Sedaj smo se pa rešili postave, ko je odmrlo to, v čemer smo bili držani tako, da služimo v novosti duha in ne v starini črke.
7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? May it never be! However, I wouldn’t have known sin except through the law. For I wouldn’t have known coveting unless the law had said, “You shall not covet.”
Kaj torej porečemo? postava je greh? Bog ne daj! Ali greha nisem spoznal razen s postavo, kajti za poželenje bi ne bil vedel, ko bi postava ne govorila; "Ne poželi."
8 But sin, finding occasion through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of coveting. For apart from the law, sin is dead.
Ko je pa priložnost dobil greh po zapovedi, napravil je v meni vsako poželenje; kajti greh brez postave je bil mrtev.
9 I was alive apart from the law once, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died.
A jaz sem živel brez postave nekdaj, ko je pa zapoved prišla, oživel je greh,
10 The commandment which was for life, this I found to be for death;
A jaz sem umrl in našlo se je, da mi je ta zapoved, ktera je bila za življenje, za smrt.
11 for sin, finding occasion through the commandment, deceived me, and through it killed me.
Kajti greh, dobivši priložnost z zapovedjo, ukanil me je in ž njo umoril.
12 Therefore the law indeed is holy, and the commandment holy, righteous, and good.
Tako je postava sveta in zapoved sveta in pravična in dobra.
13 Did then that which is good become death to me? May it never be! But sin, that it might be shown to be sin, was producing death in me through that which is good; that through the commandment sin might become exceedingly sinful.
Dobro je torej meni postalo smrt? Bog ne daj! Nego greh, da se pokaže greh, pripravljajoč mi z dobrim smrt, da postane črez mero grešen greh po zapovedi.
14 For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am fleshly, sold under sin.
Kajti vemo, da je postava duhovna, a jaz sem mesen, suženj pod oblastjo greha.
15 For I don’t understand what I am doing. For I don’t practice what I desire to do; but what I hate, that I do.
Ker kar delam, ne umejem, kajti kar hočem, tega ne delam, nego kar sovražim, to delam.
16 But if what I don’t desire, that I do, I consent to the law that it is good.
Če pa to delam, kar ne čem, pritrjam postavi, da je dobra.
17 So now it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.
Sedaj pa uže nič več jaz ne delam tega, nego v meni prebivajoči greh.
18 For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwells no good thing. For desire is present with me, but I don’t find it doing that which is good.
Kajti vem, da ne prebiva v meni, (to je v mojem mesu, ) dobro, ker hoteti, to je pri meni, ali do konca doganjati dobro, tega ne nahajam.
19 For the good which I desire, I don’t do; but the evil which I don’t desire, that I practice.
Kajti dobro, kar hočem, ne delam, nego hudo, kar ne čem, delam.
20 But if what I don’t desire, that I do, it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.
Če pa to delam, kar ne čem jaz, nič več jaz tega ne delam, nego v meni prebivajoči greh.
21 I find then the law that, while I desire to do good, evil is present.
Nahajam torej postavo, kedar hočem dobro delati, da se me hudo drži.
22 For I delight in God’s law after the inward person,
Kajti veselim se postavi Božjej po notranjem človeku;
23 but I see a different law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity under the law of sin which is in my members.
Ali vidim drugo postavo v svojih udih, ktera se ustavlja postavi uma mojega in me zavjema z grešno postavo, ktera je v mojih udih.
24 What a wretched man I am! Who will deliver me out of the body of this death?
Jaz nesrečni človek! kdo me bo otel iz telesa te smrti?
25 I thank God through Jesus Christ, our Lord! So then with the mind, I myself serve God’s law, but with the flesh, sin’s law.
Zahvaljujem se Bogu po Jezusu Kristusu Gospodu našem. Tako torej sam jaz z duhom služim postavi Božjej, a z mesom postavi greha.
