Romans, 15

1. But we who are stronger must bear with the feebleness of the weak, and not so as to please ourselves.

1. Mi jaki treba da nosimo slabosti slabih, a ne da sebi ugaðamo.

2. Each one of you should please his neighbor unto good, for edification.

2. Svaki od nas neka ugaða bližnjemu na dobro, na izgraðivanje.

3. For even Christ did not please himself, but as it was written: “The reproaches of those who reproached you fell upon me.”

3. Ta ni Krist nije sebi ugaðao, nego kao što je pisano: Poruge onih koji se rugaju tebi padoše na me.

4. For whatever was written, was written to teach us, so that, through patience and the consolation of the Scriptures, we might have hope.

4. Uistinu, što je nekoæ napisano, nama je za pouku napisano da po postojanosti i utjesi Pisama imamo nadu.

5. So may the God of patience and solace grant you to be of one mind toward one another, in accord with Jesus Christ,

5. A Bog postojanosti i utjehe dao vam da meðusobno budete složni po Kristu Isusu

6. so that, together with one mouth, you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

6. te jednodušno, iz jednoga grla, slavite Boga i Oca Gospodina našega Isusa Krista.

7. For this reason, accept one another, just as Christ also has accepted you, in the honor of God.

7. Prigrljujte jedni druge kao što je Krist prigrlio vas na slavu Božju.

8. For I declare that Christ Jesus was the minister of circumcision because of the truth of God, so as to confirm the promises to the fathers,

8. Krist je, velim, postao poslužitelj obrezanika za istinu Božju da ispuni obeæanja dana ocima,

9. and that the Gentiles are to honor God because of his mercy, just as it was written: “Because of this, I will confess you among the Gentiles, O Lord, and I will sing to your name.”

9. a pogani da za milosrðe proslave Boga, kao što je pisano: Zato æu te slaviti meðu pucima i psalam pjevati tvome imenu.

10. And again, he says: “Rejoice, O Gentiles, along with his people.”

10. I još veli: Klièite, puci, s njegovim narodom.

11. And again: “All Gentiles, praise the Lord; and all peoples, magnify him.”

11. I još: Hvalite, svi puci, Gospodina, slavili ga svi narodi!

12. And again, Isaiah says: “There shall be a root of Jesse, and he shall rise up to rule the Gentiles, and in him the Gentiles shall hope.”

12. Izaija opet veli: Pojavit æe se Jišajev izdanak, dignut da vlada narodima, u njemu je nada narodima.

13. So may the God of hope fill you with every joy and with peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope and in the virtue of the Holy Spirit.

13. A Bog nade napunio vas svakom radošæu i mirom u vjeri da izobilujete u nadi snagom Duha Svetoga.

14. But I am also certain about you, my brothers, that you also have been filled with love, completed with all knowledge, so that you are able to admonish one another.

14. Ja sam, braæo moja, uvjeren: vi ste i sami puni èestitosti, ispunjeni svakim znanjem, sposobni jedni druge urazumljivati.

15. But I have written to you, brothers, more boldly than to the others, as if calling you to mind again, because of the grace which has been given to me from God,

15. Ipak vam djelomièno smionije napisah da vas na poznato nekako podsjetim poradi milosti koja mi je dana od Boga -

16. so that I may be a minister of Christ Jesus among the Gentiles, sanctifying the Gospel of God, in order that the oblation of the Gentiles may be made acceptable and may be sanctified in the Holy Spirit.

16. da budem bogoslužnik Krista Isusa meðu poganima, sveæenik evanðelja Božjega te prinos pogana postane ugodan, posveæen Duhom Svetim.

17. Therefore, I have glory in Christ Jesus before God.

17. Imam se dakle èime dièiti u Kristu Isusu s obzirom na ono što je Božje.

18. So I dare not speak of any of those things which Christ does not effect through me, unto the obedience of the Gentiles, in word and deed,

18. /

19. with the power of signs and wonders, by power of the Holy Spirit. For in this way, from Jerusalem, throughout its surroundings, as far as Illyricum, I have replenished the Gospel of Christ.

19. Jer ne bih se usudio govoriti o neèemu što Krist rijeèju i djelom, snagom znamenja i èudesa, snagom Duha nije po meni uèinio da k poslušnosti privede pogane. Tako sam od Jeruzalema pa uokolo sve do Ilirika pronio evanðelje Kristovo,

20. And so I have preached this Gospel, not where Christ was known by name, lest I build upon the foundation of another,

20. i to tako da sam se trsio navješæivati evanðelje ne gdje se veæ spominjao Krist - da ne bih gradio na temeljima drugih -

21. but just as it was written: “Those to whom he was not announced shall perceive, and those who have not heard shall understand.”

21. nego, kako je pisano: Vidjet æe ga oni kojima nije naviješten, shvatiti oni koji za nj nisu èuli.

22. Because of this also, I was greatly hindered in coming to you, and I have been prevented until the present time.

22. Time sam ponajèešæe i bio sprijeèen doæi k vama.

23. Yet truly now, having no other destination in these regions, and having already had a great desire to come to you over the past many years,

23. Sad mi pak više nema mjesta u ovim krajevima, a živa mi je želja, ima veæ mnogo godina, doæi k vama

24. when I begin to set out on my journey to Spain, I hope that, as I pass by, I may see you, and I may be guided from there by you, after first having borne some fruit among you.

24. kad poðem u Španjolsku. Nadam se doista da æu vas na proputovanju posjetiti i da æete me onamo otpraviti pošto mi se najprije bar donekle ispuni želja biti s vama.

25. But next I will set out for Jerusalem, to minister to the saints.

25. Ali sad idem u Jeruzalem da poslužim svetima.

26. For those of Macedonia and Achaia have decided to make a collection for those of the poor among the saints who are at Jerusalem.

26. Makedonija i Ahaja odluèiše oèitovati neko zajedništvo prema siromašnim svetima u Jeruzalemu.

27. And this has pleased them, because they are in their debt. For, since the Gentiles have become partakers of their spiritual things, they also ought to minister to them in worldly things.

27. Da, odluèiše, a i dužnici su im. Jer ako su pogani postali sudionicima njihovih duhovnih dobara, dužni su im u tjelesnima poslužiti.

28. Therefore, when I have completed this task, and have consigned to them this fruit, I shall set out, by way of you, to Spain.

28. Pošto dakle to obavim - ovaj im plod zapeèaæen uruèim - uputit æu se u Španjolsku i usput k vama.

29. And I know that when I come to you I shall arrive with an abundance of the blessings of the Gospel of Christ.

29. A kada doðem k vama, doæi æu, znam, s puninom blagoslova Kristova.

30. Therefore, I beg you, brothers, through our Lord Jesus Christ and though the love of the Holy Spirit, that you assist me with your prayers to God on my behalf,

30. Ali zaklinjem vas, braæo, Gospodinom Isusom Kristom i ljubavlju Duha: suborci mi budite u molitvama Bogu upravljenima za me,

31. so that I may be freed from the unfaithful who are in Judea, and so that the oblation of my service may be acceptable to the saints in Jerusalem.

31. da umaknem onim nevjernima u Judeji i da moja pomoæ Jeruzalemu bude po volji svetima

32. So may I come to you with joy, through the will of God, and so may I be refreshed with you.

32. te s Božjom voljom radosno doðem k vama i s vama zajedno odahnem.

33. And may the God of peace be with you all. Amen.

33. Bog mira sa svima vama! Amen.
