Rimljanima 10
1 Braćo! Želja je srca moga i molitva Bogu za njih: da se spase.
BRETHREN, the kind wish of my heart indeed, and the prayer which I offer to God for Israel, is for their salvation.
2 Svjedočim doista za njih: imaju revnosti Božje, ali ne u pravom razumijevanju.
For I am a witness for them, that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.
3 Ne priznajući, doista, Božje pravednosti i tražeći uspostaviti svoju, pravednosti se Božjoj ne podložiše.
For being ignorant of the righteousness which is of God, and seeking to establish a righteousness of their own, they have not submitted to the righteousness of God.
4 Jer dovršetak je Zakona Krist - na opravdanje svakomu tko vjeruje.
For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
5 Da, Mojsije piše o onoj pravednosti iz Zakona: Tko je vrši, naći će život u njoj.
For Moses describeth the righteousness which is by the law, “That the man who doeth these things shall live by them.”
6 A pravednost iz vjere ovako veli: Nemoj reći u srcu svom: Tko će se popeti na nebo - to jest Krista svesti?
But the righteousness that is by faith speaketh thus, “Say not in thy heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down: )
or, Who shall descend into the abyss?” (that is, to bring Christ up again from the dead.) (Abyssos g12)
8 Nego što veli? Blizu ti je Riječ, u ustima tvojim i u srcu tvome - to jest Riječ vjere koju propovijedamo.
But what saith it? “The word is nigh thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart:” that is, the word of faith which we preach;
9 Jer ako ustima ispovijedaš da je Isus Gospodin, i srcem vjeruješ da ga je Bog uskrisio od mrtvih, bit ćeš spašen.
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 Doista, srcem vjerovati opravdava, a ustima ispovijedati spasava.
For with the heart faith is exercised unto righteousness; and with the mouth is confession made unto salvation.
11 Jer veli Pismo: Tko god u nj vjeruje, neće se postidjeti.
For the scripture saith, “Every one who believeth in him shall not be confounded.”
12 Nema uistinu razlike između Židova i Grka jer jedan je Gospodin sviju, bogat prema svima koji ga prizivlju.
For there is no difference between either Jew or Greek: for the same Lord of all is rich to all that call upon him.
13 Jer: Tko god prizove ime Gospodnje, bit će spašen.
“For every one shall be saved, whosoever calleth on the name of the Lord.”
14 Ali kako da prizovu onoga u koga ne povjerovaše? A kako da povjeruju u onoga koga nisu čuli? Kako pak da čuju bez propovjednika?
How then shall they call upon him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe on him of whom they have not heard? but how shall they hear without a preacher?
15 A kako propovijedati bez poslanja? Tako je pisano: Kako li su ljupke noge onih koji donose blagovijest dobra.
and how shall they preach unless they are sent? as it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, of those who preach the glad tidings of good things!”
16 Ali nisu svi poslušali blagovijesti - evanđelja! Zaista, Izaija veli: Gospodine, tko povjerova našoj poruci?
But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah saith, “Lord, who hath believed our report?”
17 Dakle: vjera po poruci, a poruka riječju Kristovom.
Faith then cometh by report, but the report by the word of God.
18 Nego pitam: Zar nisu čuli? Dapače! Po svoj zemlji razliježe se jeka, riječi njihove sve do nakraj svijeta.
But I say, Have they not heard? Yea verily, “the sound of their voice is gone forth into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.”
19 Onda pitam: Zar Izrael nije shvatio? Najprije Mojsije veli: Ja ću vas na ljubomor izazvati pukom ništavnim, razdražit ću vas glupim nekim narodom.
But I say, Did not Israel know? Moses first saith, “I will excite your jealousy by what is no nation, and by an ignorant people will I provoke you to wrath.”
20 Izaija pak hrabro veli: Nađoše me koji me ne tražahu, objavih se onima koji me ne pitahu.
But Isaiah is very bold, and saith, “I have been found by those who sought me not; I have become manifest to those who inquired not after me.”
21 A Izraelu veli: Cio dan pružah ruku narodu nepokornom i buntovnom.
But unto Israel he saith, “All the day long have I stretched out my hands unto a people disobedient and contradicting.”
