Romans 4
1 So then, what shall we say that Abraham had achieved, who is our father according to the flesh?
Kaj bomo torej rekli, da je našel Abraham, naš oče, kar se nanaša na meso?
2 For if Abraham was justified by works, he would have glory, but not with God.
Kajti če bi bil Abraham opravičen po delih, bi se imel s čim ponašati; toda ne pred Bogom.
3 For what does Scripture say? “Abram believed God, and it was reputed to him unto justice.”
Kajti kaj pravi pismo? Abraham je verjel Bogu in to mu je bilo šteto za pravičnost.
4 But for he who works, wages are not accounted according to grace, but according to debt.
Torej tistemu, ki dela, nagrada ni šteta po milosti, temveč po dolgu.
5 Yet truly, for he who does not work, but who believes in him who justifies the impious, his faith is reputed unto justice, according to the purpose of the grace of God.
Toda tistemu, ki ne dela, temveč veruje v tistega, ki opravičuje brezbožnega, je njegova vera šteta za pravičnost.
6 Similarly, David also declares the blessedness of a man, to whom God brings justice without works:
Celo kakor tudi David opisuje blaženost človeka, ki mu Bog pripisuje pravičnost brez del,
7 “Blessed are they whose iniquities have been forgiven and whose sins have been covered.
rekoč: ›Blagoslovljeni so tisti, katerih krivičnosti so odpuščene in katerih grehi so pokriti.
8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord has not imputed sin.”
Blagoslovljen je človek, ki mu Gospod ne bo pripisal greha.‹
9 Does this blessedness, then, remain only in the circumcised, or is it even in the uncircumcised? For we say that faith was reputed to Abraham unto justice.
Prihaja potem ta blaženost samo na obrezo ali tudi na neobrezo? Kajti pravimo, da je bila vera Abrahamu šteta za pravičnost.
10 But then how was it reputed? In circumcision or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
Kako je bila potem šteta? Ko je bil v obrezi ali v neobrezi? Ne v obrezi, temveč [ko je bil] v neobrezi.
11 For he received the sign of circumcision as a symbol of the justice of that faith which exists apart from circumcision, so that he might be the father of all those who believe while uncircumcised, so that it might also be reputed to them unto justice,
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;
12 and he might be the father of circumcision, not only for those who are of circumcision, but even for those who follow the footsteps of that faith which is in the uncircumcision of our father Abraham.
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.
13 For the Promise to Abraham, and to his posterity, that he would inherit the world, was not through the law, but through the justice of faith.
Kajti obljuba, da naj bi bil dedič sveta, ni bila [dana] Abrahamu ali njegovemu semenu preko postave, temveč preko pravičnosti iz vere.
14 For if those who are of the law are the heirs, then faith becomes empty and the Promise is abolished.
Kajti če bodo dediči tisti, ki so iz postave, je vera ničeva in obljuba brez učinka;
15 For the law works unto wrath. And where there is no law, there is no law-breaking.
zato ker postava povzroča bes; kajti kjer ni nobene postave, tam ni prestopka.
16 Because of this, it is from faith according to grace that the Promise is ensured for all posterity, not only for those who are of the law, but also for those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all before God,
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,
17 in whom he believed, who revives the dead and who calls those things that do not exist into existence. For it is written: “I have established you as the father of many nations.”
(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.
18 And he believed, with a hope beyond hope, so that he might become the father of many nations, according to what was said to him: “So shall your posterity be.”
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.‹
19 And he was not weakened in faith, nor did he consider his own body to be dead (though he was then almost one hundred years old), nor the womb of Sarah to be dead.
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.
20 And then, in the Promise of God, he did not hesitate out of distrust, but instead he was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God,
Ob Božji obljubi ni okleval zaradi nevere, temveč je bil močan v veri in dal slavo Bogu;
21 knowing most fully that whatever God has promised, he is also able to accomplish.
in je bil popolnoma prepričan, da kar je on obljubil, je zmožen tudi izpolniti.
22 And for this reason, it was reputed to him unto justice.
Zato mu je bilo to šteto za pravičnost.
23 Now this has been written, that it was reputed to him unto justice, not only for his sake,
Torej, da mu je bilo šteto, to ni bilo napisano samo zaradi njega,
24 but also for our sake. For the same shall be reputed to us, if we believe in him who raised up our Lord Jesus Christ from the dead,
temveč tudi zaradi nas, ki nam bo šteto, če verujemo v tistega, ki je obudil našega Gospoda Jezusa od mrtvih;
25 who was handed over because of our offenses, and who rose again for our justification.
ki je bil izročen zaradi naših prestopkov in je bil ponovno obujen zaradi našega opravičenja.
