Romans, 10

1. Brothers, certainly the will of my heart, and my prayer to God, is for them unto salvation.

1. Braæo! Želja je srca moga i molitva Bogu za njih: da se spase.

2. For I offer testimony to them, that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.

2. Svjedoèim doista za njih: imaju revnosti Božje, ali ne u pravom razumijevanju.

3. For, being ignorant of the justice of God, and seeking to establish their own justice, they have not subjected themselves to the justice of God.

3. Ne priznajuæi, doista, Božje pravednosti i tražeæi uspostaviti svoju, pravednosti se Božjoj ne podložiše.

4. For the end of the law, Christ, is unto justice for all who believe.

4. Jer dovršetak je Zakona Krist - na opravdanje svakomu tko vjeruje.

5. And Moses wrote, about the justice that is of the law, that the man who will have done justice shall live by justice.

5. Da, Mojsije piše o onoj pravednosti iz Zakona: Tko je vrši, naæi æe život u njoj.

6. But the justice that is of faith speaks in this way: Do not say in your heart: “Who shall ascend into heaven?” (that is, to bring Christ down);

6. A pravednost iz vjere ovako veli: Nemoj reæi u srcu svom: Tko æe se popeti na nebo - to jest Krista svesti?

7. “Or who shall descend into the abyss?” (that is, to call back Christ from the dead).

7. Ili: Tko æe siæi u bezdan - to jest izvesti Krista od mrtvih?

8. But what does Scripture say? “The word is near, in your mouth and in your heart.” This is the word of faith, which we are preaching.

8. Nego što veli? Blizu ti je Rijeè, u ustima tvojim i u srcu tvome - to jest Rijeè vjere koju propovijedamo.

9. For if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and if you believe in your heart that God has raised him up from the dead, you shall be saved.

9. Jer ako ustima ispovijedaš da je Isus Gospodin, i srcem vjeruješ da ga je Bog uskrisio od mrtvih, bit æeš spašen.

10. For with the heart, we believe unto justice; but with the mouth, confession is unto salvation.

10. Doista, srcem vjerovati opravdava, a ustima ispovijedati spasava.

11. For Scripture says: “All those who believe in him shall not be confounded.”

11. Jer veli Pismo: Tko god u nj vjeruje, neæe se postidjeti.

12. For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek. For the same Lord is over all, richly in all who call upon him.

12. Nema uistinu razlike izmeðu Židova i Grka jer jedan je Gospodin sviju, bogat prema svima koji ga prizivlju.

13. For all those who have called upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

13. Jer: Tko god prizove ime Gospodnje, bit æe spašen.

14. Then in what way will those who have not believed in him call upon him? Or in what way will those who have not heard of him believe in him? And in what way will they hear of him without preaching?

14. Ali kako da prizovu onoga u koga ne povjerovaše? A kako da povjeruju u onoga koga nisu èuli? Kako pak da èuju bez propovjednika?

15. And truly, in what way will they preach, unless they have been sent, just as it has been written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who evangelize peace, of those who evangelize what is good!”

15. A kako propovijedati bez poslanja? Tako je pisano: Kako li su ljupke noge onih koji donose blagovijest dobra.

16. But not all are obedient to the Gospel. For Isaiah says: “Lord, who has believed our report?”

16. Ali nisu svi poslušali blagovijesti - evanðelja! Zaista, Izaija veli: Gospodine, tko povjerova našoj poruci?

17. Therefore, faith is from hearing, and hearing is through the Word of Christ.

17. Dakle: vjera po poruci, a poruka rijeèju Kristovom.

18. But I say: Have they not heard? For certainly: “Their sound has gone forth throughout all the earth, and their words unto the limits of the whole world.”

18. Nego pitam: Zar nisu èuli? Dapaèe! Po svoj zemlji razliježe se jeka, rijeèi njihove sve do nakraj svijeta.

19. But I say: Has Israel not known? First, Moses says: “I will lead you into a rivalry with those who are not a nation; in the midst of a foolish nation, I will send you into wrath.”

19. Onda pitam: Zar Izrael nije shvatio? Najprije Mojsije veli: Ja æu vas na ljubomor izazvati pukom ništavnim, razdražit æu vas glupim nekim narodom.

20. And Isaiah dares to say: “I was discovered by those who were not seeking me. I appeared openly to those who were not asking about me.”

20. Izaija pak hrabro veli: Naðoše me koji me ne tražahu, objavih se onima koji me ne pitahu.

21. Then to Israel he says: “All day long I have stretched out my hands to a people who do not believe and who contradict me.”

21. A Izraelu veli: Cio dan pružah ruku narodu nepokornom i buntovnom.
