Rimljanom 6
1 Kaj bomo potem rekli? Ali bomo nadaljevali v grehu, da bo milost lahko obilna?
What are we to say, then? Are we to continue to sin, in order that God’s loving kindness may be multiplied?
2 Bog ne daj. Kako bomo mi, ki smo mrtvi grehu, še živeli v njem?
Heaven forbid! We became dead to sin, so how can we go on living in it?
3 Ali ne veste, da tako mnogi izmed nas, ki smo bili krščeni v Jezusa Kristusa, smo bili krščeni v njegovo smrt?
Or can it be that you do not know that all of us, who were baptized into union with Christ Jesus, in our baptism shared his death?
4 Torej smo s krstom z njim pokopani v smrt, da naj bi podobno kakor je bil Kristus obujen od mrtvih po Očetovi slavi, točno tako tudi mi hodili v novosti življenja.
Consequently, through sharing his death in our baptism, we were buried with him; so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by a manifestation of the Father’s power, so we also may live a new life.
5 Kajti če smo bili skupaj posajeni v podobnost njegove smrti, bomo tudi v podobnost njegovega vstajenja,
If we have become united with him by the act symbolic of his death, surely we will also become united with him by the act symbolic of his resurrection.
6 ker vemo to, da je naš stari človek križan z njim, da bi bilo telo greha lahko uničeno, da naj odslej ne bi več služili grehu.
We recognise the truth that our old self was crucified with Christ, in order that the body, the stronghold of sin, might be rendered powerless, so that we should no longer be slaves to sin.
7 Kajti kdor je mrtev, je osvobojen pred grehom.
For the man who has so died has been pronounced righteous and released from sin.
8 Torej, če smo s Kristusom mrtvi, verujemo, da bomo z njim tudi živeli,
And our belief is, that, as we have shared Christ’s death, we will also share his life.
9 vedoč, da Kristus, ko je bil obujen od mrtvih, nič več ne umira; nad njim smrt nima več gospostva.
We know, indeed, that Christ, having once risen from the dead, will not die again. Death has power over him no longer.
10 Kajti kdor je umrl, je enkrat umrl grehu, toda kdor živi, živi Bogu.
For the death that he died was a death to sin, once and for all. But the life that he now lives, he lives for God.
11 Prav tako tudi sebe štejte za zares mrtve grehu, toda žive za Boga, po Jezusu Kristusu, našem Gospodu.
So let it be with you – regard yourselves as dead to sin, but as living for God, through union with Christ Jesus.
12 Ne dopustite, da torej greh kraljuje v vašem umrljivem telesu, da bi ga morali ubogati v njegovih poželenjih.
Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal bodies and compel you to obey its cravings.
13 Niti ne dajajte svojih udov grehu, kot orodja krivičnosti, temveč dajte sebe Bogu, kakor tisti, ki so od mrtvih živi in svoje ude kot orodja pravičnosti Bogu.
Do not offer any part of your bodies to sin, in the cause of unrighteousness, but once for all offer yourselves to God (as those who, though once dead, now have life), and devote every part of your bodies to the cause of righteousness.
14 Kajti greh nad vami ne bo imel gospostva; kajti niste pod postavo, temveč pod milostjo.
For sin will not lord it over you. You are living under the reign, not of Law, but of love.
15 Kaj torej? Mar bomo grešili, ker nismo pod postavo, temveč pod milostjo? Bog ne daj.
What follows, then? Are we to sin because we are living under the reign of love and not of Law? Heaven forbid!
16 Ali ne veste, da komur same sebe dajete [za] služabnike v pokorščino, ste njegovi služabniki, komur se pokoravate; bodisi grehu v smrt ali poslušnosti v pravičnost?
Surely you know that when you offer yourselves as servants, to obey anyone, you are the servants of the person whom you obey, whether the service be a service to sin which leads to death, or a service to duty which leads to righteousness.
17 Toda hvala Bogu, da ste bili služabniki grehu, vendar ste iz srca ubogali to obliko nauka, ki vam je bil izročen.
God be thanked that, though you were once servants of sin, yet you learned to give hearty obedience to that form of doctrine under which you were placed.
18 Ko ste bili torej osvobojeni greha, ste postali služabniki pravičnosti.
Set free from the control of sin, you became servants to righteousness.
19 Zaradi šibkosti vašega mesa govorim po običaju ljudi; kajti kakor ste svoje služabniške ude dali nečistosti in krivičnosti za krivičnost; točno tako dajte sedaj svoje služabniške ude pravičnosti za svetost.
I can but speak as people do because of the weakness of your earthly nature. Once you offered every part of your bodies to the service of impurity, and of wickedness, which leads to further wickedness. Now, in the same way, offer them to the service of righteousness, which leads to holiness.
20 Kajti ko ste bili služabniki grehu, ste bili svobodni, [prosti] pred pravičnostjo.
While you were still servants of sin, you were free as regards righteousness.
21 Kakšen sad ste takrat imeli v tistih stvareh, ki se jih sedaj sramujete? Kajti konec tistih stvari je smrt.
But what were the fruits that you reaped from those things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of such things is death.
22 Toda sedaj, ko ste osvobojeni greha in ste postali služabniki Bogu, imate svoj sad v svetost in konec večno življenje. (aiōnios g166)
But now that you have been set free from the control of sin, and have become servants to God, the fruit that you reap is an ever increasing holiness, and the end eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
