Romans 8
1 Because [God has erased the record of our sins because we trust in what Christ has done for us], now [God will] not condemn and punish those/us who have a relationship with (OR, are united to) Christ Jesus.
Никаква, дакле, сад нема осуђења онима који су у Христу Исусу и не ходе по телу него по Духу.
2 [God’s] Spirit causes us to live [in a new way] [PRS] as a result of what Christ Jesus [did for us]. And he has set up a way by which he frees [each of] us from continually being forced to sin (OR, to obey our self-directed natures) and from being separated from God.
Јер закон Духа који оживљава у Христу Исусу, опростио ме је од закона греховног и смрти.
3 What [we] could not do [by trying to obey] the laws [of God] [PRS], because our self-directed nature was too weak [to obey them], God did. He sent his own Son [into the world in order that his Son might atone] for our sin. His Son came having a body (OR, human nature) that was like [the body] (OR, the [human nature]) of us people who sin. [By sending his Son in this way], he condemned and punished [his Son, who never sinned, instead of punishing us, who] sinned [MTY]. He did that [by making his Son’s] body [a sacrifice] (OR, [by causing his Son’s] body [to suffer/die]) for [all our] sin.
Јер што закону беше немогуће, јер беше ослабљен телом, посла Бог сина свог у обличју тела греховног, и за грех осуди грех у телу,
4 So we can [now] fulfill all that God required in his laws. We do this, not by our acting the way our sinful human nature [desires], but instead by living as [God’s] Spirit [desires us to live].
Да се правда закона испуни у нама који не живимо по телу него по духу;
5 People who live according to what their self-directed nature [desires] think about and are concerned about what their self-directed nature [desires]. But people who [live] according to what [God’s] Spirit [desires think about and are concerned about] what [God’s] Spirit [desires].
Јер који су по телу телесно мисле, а који су по духу духовно мисле.
6 Those people who [PRS] think about and are concerned about what their self-directed nature [desires] will not live eternally (OR, will be separated from God). But those people who think about and are concerned about what [God’s] Spirit [desires] will live [eternally] and have [inner] peace.
Јер телесно мудровање смрт је, а духовно мудровање живот је и мир.
7 Let me explain this. [To the extent that] people [PRS] think about and are concerned about what their self-directed nature [desires], they are acting contrary to God. They do not obey the laws of God. In fact, they are not even able [to obey his laws].
Јер телесно мудровање непријатељство је Богу, јер се не покорава закону Божијем нити може.
8 The people who let their self-directed nature [control them] cannot do what pleases God.
А који су у телу не могу Богу угодити.
9 But we do not have to let our self-directed nature [control us]. Instead, we can [let] God’s Spirit [control us], because he lives within us. If people do not have [living in them] the Spirit [who comes from] Christ, they do not belong to Christ.
А ви нисте у телу него у духу; јер Дух Божји у вама живи. А ако ко нема Дух Христов, он није Његов.
10 But since Christ [is living in you/us by his Spirit, although] your/our bodies [are certain to] die because you/we sin, your/our spirits are alive because God has erased the record of your/our sins.
А ако је Христос у вама, онда је тело мртво греха ради а дух жив правде ради.
11 [God] caused Jesus to live again after he died. And because his Spirit lives in you/us, [God] will also make your/our bodies, which [now] are sure to die, live [again after you/we die]. God, who caused Christ to live again after he died, will make you/us live again by [causing] his Spirit, who lives within you/us, [to do it].
А ако ли живи у вама Дух Оног који је васкрсао Исуса из мртвих, Онај који је подигао Христа из мртвих оживеће и ваша смртна телеса Духом својим који живи у вама.
12 Therefore, my fellow believers, we must [live as the Spirit directs us]. What we do not have to do is to live as our self-directed nature [guides us].
Тако дакле, браћо, нисмо дужни телу да по телу живимо.
13 If you live the way your self-directed nature [directs], you will surely not live [eternally] (OR, will surely be eternally separated from God). But if by [the power of God’s] Spirit you quit doing the [sinful] things that your bodies [desire] [MET], you will live eternally.
Јер ако живите по телу, помрећете; ако ли духом послове телесне морите, живећете.
14 We who are guided by the Spirit of God {allow the Spirit of God to guide us} are God’s children.
Јер који се владају по духу Божијем они су синови Божији.
15 [You have showed that this is true], because you received [from God] a Spirit that is not one that makes you fear [God] again. You are not like slaves who [fear their masters] [MET]. On the contrary, we have received a Spirit by whose [work in our hearts God] has adopted us. The Spirit now enables us to cry out [to God], “[You(sg) are my] Father [DOU]!”
Јер не примисте дух ропства, опет да се бојите; него примисте Дух посиначки, којим вичемо: Ава, Оче!
16 The Spirit himself confirms what our spirits [say], that we are God’s children.
Овај дух сведочи нашем духу да смо деца Божија.
17 Because we are [God’s] children, we also will some day receive/inherit [eternal blessings/privileges]. We will receive/inherit them from God, and we will [also] receive/inherit [them] just like Christ has [inherited them]. But we must suffer [for doing good] as Christ did, in order to receive splendor as he did.
А кад смо деца и наследници смо: наследници, дакле Божији, а сунаследници Христови: јер с Њим страдамо да се с Њим и прославимо.
18 I consider that what we suffer during the present time is not worth [paying attention to, because] the future splendor/glory that will be revealed {that [God] will reveal} to us [is so great].
Јер мислим да страдања садашњег времена нису ништа према слави која ће нам се јавити.
19 The [things that God has] created are very eagerly waiting for [the time] [PRS, DOU] when God will reveal who his [true] children are.
Јер чекање твари чека да се јаве синови Божији.
20 [God] caused the things that he created to be unable to achieve [what he had purposed. That was] not because they wanted to [be unable to do that]. On the contrary, [God] made them that way because he wanted them to keep confidently expecting
Јер се твар покори пропадљивости (не од своје воље него за вољу оног који је покори) на наду,
21 that the things that [he] created will be freed {that [he] will free the things that [he] created} from their sure decay [MET]. [He] will free them in order that [he can give them] the same glory that belongs to his children.
Да ће се и сама твар опростити од ропства распадљивости на слободу славе деце Божије.
22 We know that until now [it is as though] all [things] that God created have been groaning together, [and they long for that glory, just like a mother having the pains before bearing a child] groans [and longs for her baby’s birth] [MET].
Јер знамо да сва твар уздише и тужи с нама до сад.
23 Not only [do those things groan], but we ourselves also groan inwardly. We who have [God’s] Spirit, who is like a partial gift [MET] we have received as we wait for [the future glory, groan inwardly]. We groan while we wait eagerly for the time when we will receive our [full] rights as God’s adopted children. That [will include] his freeing our bodies [from the things that hinder us on earth. He will do this by giving us new bodies].
А не само она, него и ми који новину духа имамо, и ми сами у себи уздишемо чекајући посињење и избављење телу свом.
24 Ever since we were saved {since [God] saved us}, we have continued to confidently expect [that future glory]. If we had what we waited for, we would not [need to] wait for it any longer, because those who have something, certainly do not continue to wait for it! [RHQ]
Јер се надом спасосмо. А нада који се види није нада; јер кад ко види шта, како ће му се надати?
25 But because we keep waiting expectantly to receive what we do not yet have, we wait for it eagerly and patiently/perseveringly.
Ако ли се надамо ономе што не видимо, чекамо с трпљењем.
26 Similarly, in addition to our continuing to wait for what God will give us, God’s Spirit helps us when our spirits feel weak. We do not know what is proper/necessary for us to pray. But God’s Spirit knows, and he prays for us when we groan (OR, he groans) in a way that cannot be expressed in words (OR, prays with us, groaning in a way that cannot be expressed in words).
А тако и Дух помаже нам у нашим слабостима: јер не знамо за шта ћемо се молити као што треба, него сам Дух моли се за нас уздисањем неисказаним.
27 God, who examines our inner feelings, understands what his Spirit desires. What God understands is that his Spirit prays for us who belong to God exactly as God wants him to pray.
А Онај што испитује срца зна шта је мисао Духа, јер по вољи Божијој моли се за свете.
28 And we know that to those/us who love God, he works out all things that happen [to them/us] in a way that produces good [spiritual] benefits [for us]. He does these things for those/us whom he has chosen, because that was (OR, was according to) what he planned to do.
А знамо да онима који љубе Бога све иде на добро, који су позвани по намерењу.
29 God knew previously [that we would believe] in him (OR, [would be saved]). We are those who God also decided previously would develop a character like his Son’s character. The result of that is that [Christ is like] a firstborn/highest-ranking [son], and [those/we who are God’s children] [MET] are [like] [MET] many [younger] brothers [of Jesus].
Јер које напред позна оне и одреди да буду једнаки обличју Сина његовог, да би Он био прворођени међу многом браћом.
30 And us who God decided previously [that we would become like his Son], he also summoned. And for us whom he summoned, he also erased the record of our sins. And for us whose record of sins he has erased, he also will surely give future splendor.
А које одреди оне и дозва; а које дозва оне и оправда; а које оправда оне и прослави.
31 So (I will tell you what we must conclude from [all] these things [that God does for us]./what shall we conclude from [all] these things [that God does for us]?) [RHQ] Because God [is acting] on our behalf, (no one can win against us!/can anyone defeat us? (OR, it does not matter if anyone opposes us)!) [RHQ]
Шта ћемо, дакле, рећи на ово? Ако је Бог с нама, ко ће на нас?
32 God did not spare even his very own Son. Instead, he turned him over [to others to cruelly kill him] in order that all we [who believe in him] may benefit [from his dying for us. Therefore, because God did that], (he will also certainly give us freely everything [that we need to live for him], in addition to [giving us] Christ./will he not also certainly give us freely everything [that we need to live for him], in addition to [giving us] Christ?) [RHQ]
Који, дакле, свог сина не поштеде, него га предаде за све нас, како, дакле, да нам с Њим све не дарује?
33 It is God himself who erases the record of our sins. So (no one who accuses us [before God will win against us] (OR, [it does not matter] if anyone tries to accuse us) whom God has chosen./is it possible that anyone who accuses us [before God] will win against us (OR, does it matter if anyone tries to accuse us) whom God has chosen?) [RHQ]
Ко ће оптужити избране Божије? Бог који правда?
34 It is Christ Jesus himself who pleads [with God] for us, so (no one can condemn us (OR, say that we are still guilty for our sin)./can anyone condemn us (OR, say that we are still guilty for our sin)?) [RHQ] Christ died [for us], but he was also brought back to life {[God] also raised him from the dead}, and he is now at the place of honor [ruling] with God [MTY].
Ко ће осудити? Христос Исус који умре, па још и васкрсе, који је с десне стране Богу, и моли за нас?
35 Absolutely no one and nothing can cause Christ to stop loving us! [RHQ] That could not [RHQ] happen [because someone] caused us to have trouble [DOU], or [because someone did things to] harm us, or [because we did] not have anything to eat, or [because we did] not have enough clothes, or [because we lived in a] dangerous situation, or [because someone killed us with] a sword [MTY] (OR, murdered us).
Ко ће нас раставити од љубави Божије? Невоља ли или туга? Или гоњење? Или глад? Или голотиња? Или страх? Или мач? Као што стоји написано:
36 [Such things may happen to us, just like] it is written {[as David] wrote} [that David said to God], “Because we are your [(sg)] people, [other people repeatedly attempt to] kill us. They consider that we are [only people to be killed], [like a butcher considers] that sheep are [only] animals to be slaughtered [MET].”
За Тебе нас убијају вас дан, држе нас као овце које су за клање.
37 But even though all these bad things [may happen to us], we win a great victory/triumph [over these things because Christ], who loves us, [helps us].
Али у свему овоме побеђујемо Оног ради који нас је љубио.
38 I am absolutely certain that neither being dead (OR, being killed), nor [what happens to us while] we live, nor angels, nor demons, nor present events, nor future events, nor powerful [beings/forces],
Јер знам јамачно да ни смрт, ни живот, ни анђели, ни поглаварства, ни силе, ни садашње, ни будуће,
39 nor [powerful beings] above [the horizon] or below [the horizon] [MTY], nor anything else that [God has] created can cause God to stop loving us. [God showed us that he loves us by sending] Jesus Christ our Lord [to die for us].
Ни висина, ни дубина, ни друга каква твар може нас раставити од љубави Божије, која је у Христу Исусу, Господу нашем.
