Romans 11
1 I Demaund then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid: for I also am an Israelite, of the seede of Abraham, of the tribe of Beniamin.
Pravim torej: Jeli Bog zavrgel, ljudstvo svoje? Bog ne daj! kajti tudi jaz sem Izraelec, iz semena Abrahamovega, iz rodu Benjaminovega.
2 God hath not cast away his people which he knew before. Know ye not what the Scripture sayth of Elias, howe hee communeth with God against Israel, saying,
Ni zavrgel Bog ljudstva svojega, kterega je najprej spoznal. Jeli ne veste, kaj pravi za Elija pismo? kakor se toži Bogu na Izraela govoreč:
3 Lord, they haue killed thy Prophets, and digged downe thine altars: and I am left alone, and they seeke my life?
"Gospod, preroke tvoje so poubili in oltare tvoje so razkopali, in jaz sem ostal sam in iščejo dušo mojo."
4 But what saith the answere of God to him? I haue reserued vnto my selfe seuen thousand men, which haue not bowed the knee to Baal.
Ali kaj pravi njemu Božji odgovor? "Pustil sem sebi sedem tisoč mož, kteri niso pripognili kolena pred Baalom."
5 Euen so then at this present time is there a remnant according to the election of grace.
Tako je torej tudi v sedanjem času ostanek po izbiri milosti.
6 And if it be of grace, it is no more of workes: or els were grace no more grace: but if it be of workes, it is no more grace: or els were worke no more worke.
Če pa iz milosti, ni več iz del, kajti bi milost več ne bila milost; a če iz del, več ni milost, kajti bi delo več ne bilo delo.
7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that he sought: but the election hath obteined it, and the rest haue bene hardened,
Kaj torej? Česar je iskal Izrael, tega ni dobil, a izbira je dobila, drugi pa so bili zaslepljeni,
8 According as it is written, God hath giuen them the spirit of slumber: eyes that they should not see, and eares that they should not heare vnto this day.
(Kakor je pisano: "Dal jim je Bog duha brljavega, oči, da ne vidijo, in ušesa, da ne slišijo, ) noter do današnjega dné.
9 And Dauid sayth, Let their table be made a snare, and a net, and a stumbling blocke, euen for a recompence vnto them.
In David pravi: "Postane naj jim njih miza za zanjko in za lov, in za pohujšanje in za povračilo;
10 Let their eyes be darkened that they see not, and bowe downe their backe alwayes.
Potamné naj njih oči, da ne vidijo, in njih hrbet čisto upogni."
11 I demaund then, Haue they stumbled, that they should fall? God forbid: but through their fall, saluation commeth vnto the Gentiles, to prouoke them to follow them.
Pravim torej: Jeli so se spotaknili, da padejo? Bog ne daj! nego od njih pregrehe je zveličanje za pogane, da bi jih na posnemanje razdražili.
12 Wherefore if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles, how much more shall their aboundance be?
Če je pa njih pregreha bogastvo za svet in njih izguba bogastvo za pogane, koliko bolje njih polnost!
13 For in that I speake to you Gentiles, in as much as I am the Apostle of ye Gentiles, I magnifie mine office,
Kajti vam poganom govorim, in dokler sem jaz apostelj poganov, hvalim svojo službo,
14 To trie if by any meanes I might prouoke them of my flesh to follow them, and might saue some of them.
Ne bi li kako na posnemanje razdražil svoje meso in zveličal ktere izmed njih;
15 For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiuing be, but life from the dead?
Ker če je njih zavrženje sprava sveta, kaj bi bilo sprejetje, če ne življenje iz mrtvih?
16 For if the first fruites be holy, so is the whole lumpe: and if the roote be holy, so are the branches.
Če je pa prvina sveta, tudi je testo, in če je korenina sveta, tudi so veje.
17 And though some of the branches be broken off, and thou being a wilde Oliue tree, wast graft in for them, and made partaker of the roote, and fatnesse of the Oliue tree.
Če so se pa nektere veje odlomile, a ti, ker si bil divja olika, vcepil si se na nje in postal sodeležnik olikove korenine in tolšče,
18 Boast not thy selfe against the branches: and if thou boast thy selfe, thou bearest not the roote, but the roote thee.
Ne hvali se z vejami; če pa hvališ, ne nosiš ti korenine, nego korenina tebe.
19 Thou wilt say then, The branches are broken off, that I might be graft in.
Porečeš torej: Odlomile so se veje, da bi se jaz vcepil.
20 Well: through vnbeliefe they are broken off, and thou standest by faith: bee not hie minded, but feare.
Dobro, za voljo nevere so se odlomile, ti pa z vero stojiš. Ne prevzetuj, nego boj se.
21 For if God spared not the naturall branches, take heede, least he also spare not thee.
Ker če Bog naravnim vejam ni prizanesel, da tudi tebi kako ne prizanese.
22 Beholde therefore the bountifulnesse, and seueritie of God: towarde them which haue fallen, seueritie: but toward thee, bountifulnesse, if thou continue in his bountifulnesse: or els thou shalt also be cut off.
Glej torej dobroto in ostrost Božjo: nad temi, kteri so padli, ostrost, a nad teboj dobroto, če ostaneš v dobroti; če ne, tudi ti boš posekan.
23 And they also, if they abide not still in vnbeliefe, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graffe them in againe.
A oni, če ne ostanejo v neveri, vcepili se bodo, kajti Bog je mogoč zopet jih vcepiti.
24 For if thou wast cut out of the Oliue tree, which was wilde by nature, and wast graffed contrary to nature in a right Oliue tree, how much more shall they that are by nature, bee graffed in their owne Oliue tree?
Kajti če si ti odsekan od olike po naravi divje in si se vcepil proti naravi na pravo oliko, koliko bolje ti le, kteri se bodo vcepili na lastno oliko?
25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this secret (least ye should bee arrogant in your selues) that partly obstinacie is come to Israel, vntill the fulnesse of the Gentiles be come in.
Kajti ne čem, da bi vi, bratje, ne vedeli skrivnosti, (da bi ne bili sami v sebi razumni, ) da je trdokornost Izraela deloma zadela, dokler ne vnide polnost poganov.
26 And so all Israel shalbe saued, as it is written, The deliuerer shall come out of Sion, and shall turne away the vngodlinesse from Iacob.
In tako se bo zveličal ves Izrael, kakor je pisano: "Prišel bo iz Siona rešitelj in odvrnil nepobožnost od Jakoba;
27 And this is my couenant to them, When I shall take away their sinnes.
In to jim je od mene zaveza, kedar odvzamem njih grehe."
28 As concerning the Gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloued for the fathers sakes.
Poleg evangelja so sicer sovražniki za voljo vas, a poleg izbire so ljubljenci za voljo očetov.
29 For the giftes and calling of God are without repentance.
Kajti brez kesanja so darovi in klicanje Božje,
30 For euen as yee in times past haue not beleeued God, yet haue nowe obteined mercie through their vnbeliefe:
Ker kakor tudi vi nekdaj niste verjeli Bogu, a sedaj ste usmiljenje dobili po njih neveri;
31 Euen so nowe haue they not beleeued by the mercie shewed vnto you, that they also may obtaine mercie.
Tako tudi ti sedaj niso verjeli, po vašem usmiljenji da bi tudi oni usmiljenje dobili.
Kajti zaprl je Bog vse v neverstvo, da bi se vseh usmilil. (eleēsē g1653)
33 O the deepenesse of the riches, both of the wisdome, and knowledge of God! howe vnsearcheable are his iudgements, and his wayes past finding out!
O globočina bogastva in modrosti in znanja Božjega! kako neizvedljive so njegove sodbe in kako nezasledljive njegove poti!
34 For who hath knowen the minde of the Lord? or who was his counsellour?
Kajti: "kdo je spoznal misel Gospodovo?"
35 Or who hath giuen vnto him first, and he shalbe recompensed?
Ali: "kdo je bil njemu svetovalec?" Ali: "kdo je njemu naprej dal, ter mu se bo nazaj dajalo?"
