Galatians 3
1 O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified.
O bezumni Galaćani, tko li vas opčara? A pred očima vam je Isus Krist bio ocrtan kao Raspeti.
2 I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law, or by hearing with faith?
Ovo bih samo htio doznati od vas: jeste li primili Duha po djelima Zakona ili po vjeri u Poruku?
3 Are you so foolish? After starting in the Spirit, are you now finishing in the flesh?
Tako li ste bezumni? Započeli ste u Duhu pa da sada u tijelu dovršite?
4 Have you suffered so much for nothing, if it really was for nothing?
Zar ste toliko toga uzalud doživjeli? A kad bi doista bilo uzalud!
5 Does God lavish His Spirit on you and work miracles among you because you practice the law, or because you hear and believe?
Onaj dakle koji vam daje Duha i čini među vama silna djela, čini li to zbog djela Zakona ili zbog vjere u Poruku?
6 So also, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”
Tako Abraham povjerova Bogu i uračuna mu se u pravednost.
7 Understand, then, that those who have faith are sons of Abraham.
Shvatite dakle: oni od vjere, to su sinovi Abrahamovi.
8 The Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and foretold the gospel to Abraham: “All nations will be blessed through you.”
A Pismo, predvidjevši da Bog po vjeri opravdava pogane, unaprijed navijesti Abrahamu: U tebi će blagoslovljeni biti svi narodi.
9 So those who have faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.
Tako: oni od vjere blagoslivlju se s vjernikom Abrahamom.
10 All who rely on works of the law are under a curse. For it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.”
Doista, koji su god od djela Zakona, pod prokletstvom su. Ta pisano je: Proklet tko se god ne drži i tko ne vrši svega što je napisano u Knjizi Zakona.
11 Now it is clear that no one is justified before God by the law, because, “The righteous will live by faith.”
A da se pred Bogom nitko ne opravdava Zakonom, očito je jer: Pravednik će od vjere živjeti.
12 The law, however, is not based on faith; on the contrary, “The man who does these things will live by them.”
Zakon pak nije od vjere, nego veli: Tko ga vrši, u njemu će naći život.
13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us. For it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.”
Krist nas otkupi od prokletstva Zakona, postavši za nas prokletstvom - jer pisano je: Proklet je tko god visi na drvetu -
14 He redeemed us in order that the blessing promised to Abraham would come to the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.
da u Kristu Isusu na pogane dođe blagoslov Abrahamov: da Obećanje, Duha, primimo po vjeri.
15 Brothers, let me put this in human terms. Even a human covenant, once it is ratified, cannot be canceled or amended.
Braćo, po ljudsku govorim: već i ljudski valjan savez nitko ne poništava niti mu što dodaje.
16 The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. The Scripture does not say, “and to seeds,” meaning many, but “and to your seed,” meaning One, who is Christ.
A ova su obećanja dana Abrahamu i potomstvu njegovu. Ne veli se: “i potomcima” kao o mnogima, nego kao o jednomu: I potomstvu tvojem, to jest Kristu.
17 What I mean is this: The law that came 430 years later does not revoke the covenant previously established by God, so as to nullify the promise.
Ovo hoću kazati: Saveza koji je Bog valjano sklopio ne obeskrepljuje Zakon, koji je nastao četiri stotine i trideset godina poslije, i ne dokida obećanja.
18 For if the inheritance depends on the law, then it no longer depends on a promise; but God freely granted it to Abraham through a promise.
Doista, ako se baština zadobiva po Zakonu, ne zadobiva se po obećanju. A Abrahama je Bog po obećanju obdario.
19 Why then was the law given? It was added because of transgressions, until the arrival of the seed to whom the promise referred. It was administered through angels by a mediator.
Čemu onda Zakon? Dometnut je poradi prekršaja dok ne dođe potomstvo komu je namijenjeno obećanje; sastavljen je po anđelima preko posrednika.
20 A mediator is unnecessary, however, for only one party; but God is one.
Posrednika pak nema gdje je samo jedan. A Bog je jedan.
21 Is the law, then, opposed to the promises of God? Certainly not! For if a law had been given that could impart life, then righteousness would certainly have come from the law.
Zar je dakle Zakon protiv obećanja Božjih? Nipošto! Jer da je dan Zakon koji bi mogao oživljavati, pravednost bi doista proizlazila iz Zakona.
22 But the Scripture pronounces all things confined by sin, so that by faith in Jesus Christ the promise might be given to those who believe.
Ali je Pismo sve zatvorilo pod grijeh da se, po vjeri u Isusa Krista, obećano dade onima koji vjeruju.
23 Before this faith came, we were held in custody under the law, locked up until faith should be revealed.
Prije dolaska vjere, pod Zakonom zatvoreni, bili smo čuvani za vjeru koja se imala objaviti.
24 So the law became our guardian to lead us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
Tako nam je Zakon bio nadzirateljem sve do Krista da se po vjeri opravdamo.
25 Now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian.
A otkako je nadošla vjera, nismo više pod nadzirateljem.
26 You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.
Uistinu, svi ste sinovi Božji, po vjeri u Kristu Isusu.
27 For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.
Doista, koji ste god u Krista kršteni, Kristom se zaodjenuste.
28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
Nema više: Židov - Grk! Nema više: rob - slobodnjak! Nema više: muško - žensko! Svi ste vi Jedan u Kristu Isusu!
29 And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed and heirs according to the promise.
Ako li ste Kristovi, onda ste Abrahamovo potomstvo, baštinici po obećanju.
