Romans 7
1 Or do you not know, brothers (for I speak to those who know the law), that the law has authority over a person for as long as he lives?
Ali ne veste, bratje (kajti govorim tem, ki poznajo postavo), da ima postava gospostvo nad človekom, dokler on živi?
2 For the married woman is bound by law to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is released from the law concerning the husband.
Kajti ženska, ki ima soproga, je po postavi vezana k svojemu soprogu, dokler ta živi; toda če soprog umre, je odvezana od postave svojega soproga.
3 So then if, while the husband lives, she is joined to another man, she is called an adulteress. But if the husband dies, she is free from the law, so that she is not an adulteress, though she is joined to another man.
Torej če bo poročena k drugemu moškemu, medtem ko njen soprog živi, bo zaradi tega imenovana zakonolomka; toda če je njen soprog mrtev, je osvobojena te postave, tako da ni zakonolomka, čeprav je poročena k drugemu moškemu.
4 Therefore, my brothers, you also were made dead to the law through the body of Messiah, that you would be joined to another, to him who was raised from the dead, that we may bear fruit to God.
Tako, moji bratje, ste tudi vi po Kristusovem telesu postali mrtvi postavi, da bi bili poročeni k drugemu, celó k njemu, ki je obujen od mrtvih, da naj bi obrodili sad za Boga.
5 For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were through the law, worked in our members to bring forth fruit for death.
Kajti ko smo bili v mesu, so v naših udih delovale spodbude grehov, ki so bili po postavi, da obrodijo sad za smrt.
6 But now we have been released from the law, having died to that which held us captive, so that we serve in newness of the Spirit, and not in oldness of the letter.
Toda sedaj smo osvobojeni postave, da bi mrtvi [postavi], pod katero smo bili držani, služili v novosti duha, ne pa v starosti črke.
7 What should we say then? Is the law sin? Absolutely not. However, I would not have known sin, except through the law. For I would not have known covetousness, unless the law had said, "Do not covet."
Kaj bomo torej rekli? Ali je postava greh? Bog ne daj. Ne, nisem spoznal greha, razen po postavi; kajti ne bi spoznal poželenja, razen če postava ne bi rekla: ›Ne boš požêlel.‹
8 But sin, taking opportunity through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of covetousness. For apart from the law, sin is dead.
Toda greh, ki [si] po zapovedi jemlje priložnost, je v meni oblikoval vse vrste poželjivosti. Kajti brez postave je bil greh mrtev.
9 I was alive apart from the law once, but when the commandment came, sin became alive, and I died.
Kajti nekoč sem bil živ brez postave; toda ko je prišla zapoved, je greh oživel, jaz pa sem umrl.
10 The commandment, which was for life, this I found to be for death;
In zapoved, ki je bila odrejena za življenje, sem spoznal, da je za smrt.
11 for sin, taking the opportunity through the commandment, deceived me, and through it killed me.
Kajti greh, ki [si] jemlje priložnost po zapovedi, me je zavedel in me po njej usmrtil.
12 Therefore the law indeed is holy, and the commandment holy, and righteous, and good.
Torej je postava svéta in zapoved svéta in pravična ter dobra.
13 Did that which is good, then, become death to me? Absolutely not. But sin, that it might be shown to be sin, by working death to me through that which is good; that through the commandment sin might become exceeding sinful.
Mi je potem to, kar je dobro, storilo smrt? Bog ne daj. Toda greh, da bi se lahko pokazal greh, dela s tem, kar je dobro, v meni smrt; ta greh utegne postati prek zapovedi silno grešen.
14 For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am fleshly, sold under sin.
Kajti vemo, da je postava duhovna, toda jaz sem mesen, prodan pod greh.
15 For I do not know what I am doing. For I do not practice what I desire to do; but what I hate, that I do.
Kajti tega, kar delam, ne dopuščam; kajti kar bi želel, tega ne delam, temveč počenjam to, kar sovražim.
16 But if I do what I do not want to do, I agree with the law that it is good.
Če torej počenjam to, česar nočem, soglašam k postavi, da je ta dobra.
17 So now it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.
Torej potem nisem več jaz, ki to počnem, temveč greh, ki prebiva v meni.
18 For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwells no good thing. For the desire is present in me, but the doing of the good is not.
Kajti vem, da v meni (to je, v mojem mesu) ne prebiva nobena dobra stvar; kajti hoteti je z menoj pri roki, toda ne najdem tega, kako izvesti to, kar je dobro.
19 For the good which I desire, I do not do; but the evil which I do not desire, that I practice.
Kajti dobrega, ki ga hočem, ne delam, temveč zlo, ki ga nočem, to počnem.
20 But if what I do not desire, that I do, it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.
Torej če delam to, česar nočem, to nisem več jaz, ki to počnem, temveč greh, ki prebiva v meni.
21 I find then the law, that, to me, while I desire to do good, evil is present.
Odkril sem torej postavo, da ko sem hotel delati dobro, je z menoj prisotno zlo.
22 For I delight in God's law in my inner being,
Kajti po notranjem človeku se veselim v Božji postavi,
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.
toda v svojih udih vidim drugo postavo, ki se bori proti postavi mojega uma in me prinaša v sužnost postavi greha, ki je v mojih udih.
24 What a wretched man I am. Who will deliver me out of the body of this death?
Oh pomilovanja vreden človek sem! Kdo me bo osvobodil iz telesa te smrti?
25 Thanks be to God through Jesus (the) Messiah, our Lord. So then with the mind, I myself serve God's law, but with the flesh, the sin's law.
Zahvaljujem se Bogu po Jezusu Kristusu, našem Gospodu. Tako potem z umom služim Božji postavi, toda z mesom postavi greha.
