Romans 1
1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called [to be] an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,
Pavao, sluga Krista Isusa, pozvan za apostola, odlučen za evanđelje Božje -
2 which he promised afore through his prophets in the holy scriptures,
koje Bog unaprijed obećavaše po svojim prorocima u Pismima svetim
3 concerning his Son, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh,
o Sinu svome, potomku Davidovu po tijelu,
4 who was declared [to be] the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead; [even] Jesus Christ our Lord,
postavljenu Sinom Božjim, u snazi, po Duhu posvetitelju uskrsnućem od mrtvih, o Isusu Kristu, Gospodinu našemu,
5 through whom we received grace and apostleship, unto obedience of faith among all the nations, for his name’s sake;
po komu primismo milost i apostolstvo da na slavu imena njegova k poslušnosti vjere privodimo sve pogane
6 among whom are ye also, called [to be] Jesus Christ’s:
među kojima ste i vi pozvanici Isusa Krista:
7 to all that 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 u Rimu, miljenicima Božjim, pozvanicima, svetima. Milost vam i mir od Boga, Oca našega, i Gospodina Isusa Krista.
8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is proclaimed throughout the whole world.
Ponajprije zahvaljujem Bogu mojemu po Isusu Kristu za sve vas: što se vaša vjera navješćuje po svem svijetu.
9 For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the gospel of his Son, how unceasingly I make mention of you, always in my prayers
Doista, svjedok mi je Bog - komu duhom svojim služim u evanđelju Sina njegova - da vas se
10 making request, if by any means now at length I may be prospered by the will of God to come unto you.
u svojim molitvama neprekidno spominjem i uvijek molim ne bi li mi se već jednom s voljom Božjom nekako posrećilo doći k vama.
11 For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;
Jer čeznem vidjeti vas da vam predam nešto dara duhovnoga te se ojačate, zapravo -
12 that is, that I with you may be comforted in you, each of us by the other’s faith, both yours and mine.
da se zajedno s vama ohrabrim zajedničkom vjerom, vašom i mojom.
13 And I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you (and was hindered hitherto), that I might have some fruit in you also, even as in the rest of the Gentiles.
A ne bih htio, braćo, da ne znate: često sam bio nakanio doći k vama - i sve dosad bio spriječen - da i među vama uberem koji plod kao i među drugim narodima.
14 I am debtor both to Greeks and to Barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish.
Dužnik sam Grcima i barbarima, mudracima i neznalicama.
15 So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you also that are in Rome.
Odatle moja nakana da i vama u Rimu navijestim evanđelje.
16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
Ne stidim se, uistinu, evanđelja: ono je snaga Božja na spasenje svakomu tko vjeruje - Židovu najprije, pa Grku.
17 For therein is revealed a righteousness of God from faith unto faith: as it is written, But the righteous shall live by faith.
Jer pravednost se Božja od vjere k vjeri u njemu otkriva kao što je pisano: Pravednik će od vjere živjeti.
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hinder the truth in unrighteousness;
Otkriva se doista s neba gnjev Božji na svaku bezbožnost i nepravednost ljudi koji istinu sputavaju nepravednošću.
19 because that which is known of God is manifest in them; for God manifested it unto them.
Jer što se o Bogu može spoznati, očito im je: Bog im očitova.
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)
Uistinu, ono nevidljivo njegovo, vječna njegova moć i božanstvo, onamo od stvaranja svijeta, umom se po djelima razabire tako da nemaju isprike. (aïdios g126)
21 because that, knowing God, they glorified him not as God, neither gave thanks; but became vain in their reasonings, and their senseless heart was darkened.
Jer premda upoznaše Boga, ne iskazaše mu kao Bogu ni slavu ni zahvalnost, nego ishlapiše u mozganjima svojim te se pomrači bezumno srce njihovo.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
Gradeći se mudrima, poludješe i
23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God for the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things.
zamijeniše slavu neraspadljivog Boga likom, obličjem raspadljiva čovjeka, i ptica, i četveronožaca, i gmazova.
24 Wherefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts unto uncleanness, that their bodies should be dishonored among themselves:
Zato ih je Bog po pohotama srdaca njihovih predao nečistoći te sami obeščašćuju svoja tijela,
25 for that they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
oni što su Istinu - Boga zamijenili lažju, častili i štovali stvorenje umjesto Stvoritelja, koji je blagoslovljen u vjekove. Amen. (aiōn g165)
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile passions: for their women changed the natural use into that which is against nature:
Stoga ih je Bog predao sramotnim strastima: njihove žene zamijeniše naravno općenje protunaravnim,
27 and likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another, men with men working unseemliness, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was due.
a tako su i muškarci napustili naravno općenje sa ženom i raspalili se pohotom jedni za drugima te muškarci s muškarcima sramotno čine i sami na sebi primaju zasluženu plaću svoga zastranjenja.
28 And even as they refused to have God in [their] knowledge, God gave them up unto a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting;
I kako nisu smatrali vrijednim držati se spoznaje Boga, predade ih Bog nevaljanu umu te čine što ne dolikuje,
29 being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
puni svake nepravde, pakosti, lakomosti, zloće; puni zavisti, ubojstva, svađe, prijevare, zlonamjernosti; došaptavači,
30 backbiters, hateful to God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
klevetnici, mrzitelji Boga, drznici, oholice, preuzetnici, izmišljači zala, roditeljima neposlušni,
31 without understanding, covenant-breakers, without natural affection, unmerciful:
nerazumni, nevjerni, bešćutni, nemilosrdni.
32 who, knowing the ordinance of God, that they that practise such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also consent with them that practise them.
Znaju za odredbu Božju - da smrt zaslužuju koji takvo što čine - a oni ne samo da to čine nego i povlađuju onima koji čine.
