Galatians, 5

1. Stand firm, and do not be willing to be again held by the yoke of servitude.

1. Za slobodu nas Krist oslobodi! Držite se dakle i ne dajte se ponovno u jaram ropstva!

2. Behold, I, Paul, say to you, that if you have been circumcised, Christ will be of no benefit to you.

2. Evo ja, Pavao, velim vam: ako se obrežete, Krist vam ništa neæe koristiti.

3. For I again testify, about every man circumcising himself, that he is obligated to act according to the entire law.

3. I ponovno jamèim svakom èovjeku koji se obreže: dužan je opsluživati sav Zakon.

4. You are being emptied of Christ, you who are being justified by the law. You have fallen from grace.

4. Prekinuli ste s Kristom vi koji se u Zakonu mislite opravdati; iz milosti ste ispali.

5. For in spirit, by faith, we await the hope of justice.

5. Jer mi po Duhu iz vjere oèekujemo pravednost, nadu svoju.

6. For in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision prevails over anything, but only faith which works through charity.

6. Uistinu, u Kristu Isusu ništa ne vrijedi ni obrezanje ni neobrezanje, nego - vjera ljubavlju djelotvorna.

7. You have run well. So what has impeded you, that you would not obey the truth?

7. Dobro ste trèali; tko li vas je samo sprijeèio da se više ne pokoravate istini?

8. This kind of influence is not from him who is calling you.

8. Ta pobuda nije od Onoga koji vas zove!

9. A little leaven corrupts the whole mass.

9. Malo kvasca cijelo tijesto ukvasa.

10. I have confidence in you, in the Lord, that you will accept nothing of the kind. However, he who disturbs you shall bear the judgment, whomever he may be.

10. Ja se uzdam u vas u Gospodinu: vi neæete drukèije misliti. A tko vas zbunjuje, snosit æe osudu, tko god bio.

11. And as for me, brothers, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still suffering persecution? For then the scandal of the Cross would be made empty.

11. A ja, braæo, ako sveudilj propovijedam obrezanje, zašto me sveudilj progone? Onda je obeskrijepljena sablazan križa!

12. And I wish that those who disturb you would be torn away.

12. Uškopili se oni koji vas podbunjuju!

13. For you, brothers, have been called to liberty. Only you must not make liberty into an occasion for the flesh, but instead, serve one another through the charity of the Spirit.

13. Doista vi ste, braæo, na slobodu pozvani! Samo neka ta sloboda ne bude izlikom tijelu, nego - ljubavlju služite jedni drugima.

14. For the entire law is fulfilled by one word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

14. Ta sav je Zakon ispunjen u jednoj jedinoj rijeèi, u ovoj: Ljubi bližnjega svoga kao sebe samoga!

15. But if you bite and devour one another, be careful that you are not consumed by one another!

15. Ako li pak jedni druge grizete i gloðete, pazite da jedni druge ne proždrete.

16. So then, I say: Walk in the spirit, and you will not fulfill the desires of the flesh.

16. Hoæu reæi: po Duhu živite pa neæete ugaðati požudi tijela!

17. For the flesh desires against the spirit, and the spirit against the flesh. And since these are against one another, you may not do whatever you want.

17. Jer tijelo žudi protiv Duha, a Duh protiv tijela. Doista, to se jedno drugomu protivi da ne èinite što hoæete.

18. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

18. Ali ako vas Duh vodi, niste pod Zakonom.

19. Now the works of the flesh are manifest; they are: fornication, lust, homosexuality, self-indulgence,

19. A oèita su djela tijela. To su: bludnost, neèistoæa, razvratnost,

20. the serving of idols, drug use, hostility, contentiousness, jealousy, wrath, quarrels, dissensions, divisions,

20. idolopoklonstvo, vraèanje, neprijateljstva, svaða, ljubomor, srdžbe, spletkarenja, razdori, stranèarenja,

21. envy, murder, inebriation, carousing, and similar things. About these things, I continue to preach to you, as I have preached to you: that those who act in this way shall not obtain the kingdom of God.

21. zavisti, pijanèevanja, pijanke i tome slièno. Unaprijed vam kažem, kao što vam veæ rekoh: koji takvo što èine, kraljevstva Božjega neæe baštiniti.

22. But the fruit of the Spirit is charity, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, forbearance,

22. Plod je pak Duha: ljubav, radost, mir, velikodušnost, uslužnost, dobrota, vjernost,

23. meekness, faith, modesty, abstinence, chastity. There is no law against such things.

23. blagost, uzdržljivost. Protiv tih nema zakona.

24. For those who are Christ’s have crucified their flesh, along with its vices and desires.

24. Koji su Kristovi, razapeše tijelo sa strastima i požudama.

25. If we live by the Spirit, we should also walk by the Spirit.

25. Ako živimo po Duhu, po Duhu se i ravnajmo!

26. Let us not become desirous of empty glory, provoking one another, envying one another.

26. Ne hlepimo za taštom slavom! Ne izazivajmo jedni druge, ne zaviðajmo jedni drugima!
