Romans 2
1 Therefore you have nothing to say in your own defense, whoever you are who set yourself up as a judge. In judging others you condemn yourself, for you who set yourself up as a judge do the very same things.
Torej si neopravičljiv, oh človek, kdorkoli si, ki sodiš; kajti v čemer sodiš drugega, obsojaš sebe; kajti ti, ki sodiš, počneš iste stvari.
2 And we know that God’s judgment falls unerringly on those who do them.
Toda mi smo prepričani, da je Božja sodba, glede na resnico, zoper te, ki izvajajo takšne stvari.
3 You who judge those that do such things and yet are yourself guilty of them – do you suppose that you of all people will escape God’s judgment?
In mar misliš ti, oh človek, ki sodiš tiste, ki takšne stvari počno in delaš isto, da boš ubežal Božji sodbi?
4 Or do you think lightly of his abundant kindness, patience, and forbearance, not realizing that his kindness is meant to lead you to repentance?
Ali preziraš bogastva njegove dobrote in prizanašanja in potrpežljivosti, ne vedoč, da te Božja dobrota vodi h kesanju?
5 Hard-hearted and impenitent as you are, you are storing up for yourself wrath on the day of wrath, when God’s justice as a judge will be revealed;
Toda po svojem brezčutnem in zakrknjenem srcu si nabiraš bes za dan besa in razodetja pravične Božje sodbe;
6 for he will give to everyone what their actions deserve.
ki bo vsakemu človeku povrnil glede na njegova dejanja.
7 To those who, by perseverance in doing good, aim at glory, honor, and all that is imperishable, he will give immortal life; (aiōnios g166)
Večno življenje tem, ki si s potrpežljivim vztrajanjem v dobrem ravnanju prizadevajo za slavo in čast in nesmrtnost; (aiōnios g166)
8 while as to those who are factious, and disobedient to truth but obedient to evil, wrath and anger, distress and despair,
toda tistim, ki so prepirljivi in ne ubogajo resnice, temveč ubogajo nepravičnost, ogorčenost in bes.
9 will fall on every human being who persists in wrongdoing – on the Jew first, but also on the Greek.
Stiska in tesnoba nad vsako dušo človeka, ki počne zlo, najprej judovsko in prav tako pogansko;
10 But there will be glory, honor, and peace for everyone who does right – for the Jew first, but also for the Greek,
toda slava, čast in mir vsakemu človeku, ki dela dobro, najprej Judu in tudi poganu,
11 since God shows no partiality.
kajti pri Bogu ni oziranja na osebe.
12 All who, when they sin, are without Law will also perish without Law; while all who, when they sin, are under Law, will be judged as being under Law.
Kajti kolikor jih je grešilo brez postave, bodo tudi propadli brez postave; in kolikor jih je grešilo v postavi, bodo sojeni po postavi.
13 It is not those who hear the words of a Law that are righteous before God, but it is those who obey it that will be pronounced righteous.
(Kajti pred Bogom niso pravični poslušalci postave, temveč bodo opravičeni uresničevalci postave.
14 When Gentiles, who have no Law, do instinctively what the Law requires, they, though they have no Law, are a Law to themselves;
Kajti kadar pogani, ki nimajo postave, po naravi delajo stvari, ki so vsebovane v postavi, so tisti, ki nimajo postave, samim sebi postava;
15 for they show the demands of the Law written on their hearts; their consciences corroborating it, while in their thoughts they argue either in self-accusation or, it may be, in self-defense –
ki kažejo delo postave, zapisano v njihovih srcih in tudi njihova vest pričuje in njihove misli se medtem obtožujejo ali pa opravičujejo druga drugo),
16 on the day when God passes judgment on people’s inmost lives, as the good news that I tell declares that he will do through Christ Jesus.
na dan, ko bo Bog po Jezusu Kristusu sodil skrivnosti ljudi, glede na moj evangelij.
17 But, perhaps, you bear the name of ‘Jew,’ and are relying on Law, and boast of belonging to God, and understand his will,
Glej, imenuješ se Jud in počivaš na postavi in se bahaš z Bogom
18 and, having been carefully instructed from the Law, have learned to appreciate the finer moral distinctions.
in poznaš njegovo voljo in ker si poučen iz postave, odobravaš stvari, ki so odličnejše;
19 Perhaps you are confident that you are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in the dark, an instructor of the unintelligent,
in si prepričan, da si ti sam vodnik slepim, svetloba tem, ki so v temi,
20 and a teacher of the childish, because in the Law you possess the outline of all knowledge and truth.
inštruktor nespametnih, učitelj otročičev, ki imaš v postavi obrazec spoznanja in resnice.
21 Why, then, you teacher of others, don’t you teach yourself? Do you preach against stealing, and yet steal?
Ti torej, ki poučuješ drugega, samega sebe [pa] ne poučiš? Ti, ki oznanjaš naj človek ne krade, [pa] kradeš?
22 Do you forbid adultery, and yet commit adultery? Do you loathe idols, and yet plunder temples?
Ti, ki praviš, naj človek ne stori zakonolomstva, [pa] storiš zakonolomstvo? Ti, ki preziraš malike, [pa] storiš svetoskrunstvo?
23 Boasting, as you do, of your Law, do you dishonor God by breaking the Law?
Ti, ki se bahaš s postavo, [pa] zaradi prelamljanja postave onečaščaš Boga?
24 For, as scripture says – ‘The Gentiles insult God’s name because of you’!
Kajti zaradi vas se med pogani izreka bogokletje proti Božjemu imenu, kakor je pisano.
25 Circumcision has its value, if you are obeying the Law. But, if you are a breaker of the Law, your circumcision is no better than uncircumcision.
Kajti obreza resnično koristi, če se držiš postave; toda če si lomilec postave, je tvoja obreza postala neobreza.
26 If, then, an uncircumcised man pays regard to the requirements of the Law, won’t he, although not circumcised, be regarded by God as if he were?
Torej, če se neobrezani drži pravičnosti postave, mar ne bo njegova neobreza šteta za obrezo?
27 Indeed, the person who, owing to his birth, remains uncircumcised, and yet scrupulously obeys the Law, will condemn you, who, for all your written Law and your circumcision, are yet a breaker of the Law.
In ali ne bo neobrezani, ki je po naravi, če izpolnjuje postavo, sodil tebe, ki po črki in obrezi prestopaš postavo?
28 For a man who is only a Jew outwardly is not a real Jew; nor is outward bodily circumcision real circumcision. The real Jew is the person who is a Jew in soul;
Kajti ni Jud tisti, ki je tak na zunaj; niti ni obreza ta, ki je zunanja, v mesu;
29 and the real circumcision is the circumcision of the heart, a spiritual and not a literal thing. Such a person wins praise from God, though not from people.
toda Jud je tisti, ki je tak navznoter; in obreza je ta od srca, v duhu in ne po črki; katerega hvala ni od ljudi, temveč od Boga.
