Romans, 1

1. Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called as an Apostle, separated for the Gospel of God,

1. Pavao, sluga Krista Isusa, pozvan za apostola, odluèen za evanðelje Božje -

2. which he had promised beforehand, through his Prophets, in the Holy Scriptures,

2. koje Bog unaprijed obeæavaše po svojim prorocima u Pismima svetim

3. about his Son, who was made for him from the offspring of David according to the flesh,

3. o Sinu svome, potomku Davidovu po tijelu,

4. the Son of God, who was predestined in virtue according to the Spirit of sanctification from the resurrection of the dead, our Lord Jesus Christ,

4. postavljenu Sinom Božjim, u snazi, po Duhu posvetitelju uskrsnuæem od mrtvih, o Isusu Kristu, Gospodinu našemu,

5. through whom we have received grace and Apostleship, for the sake of his name, for the obedience of faith among all the Gentiles,

5. po komu primismo milost i apostolstvo da na slavu imena njegova k poslušnosti vjere privodimo sve pogane

6. from whom you also have been called by Jesus Christ:

6. meðu kojima ste i vi pozvanici Isusa Krista:

7. To all who are at Rome, the beloved of God, called as saints. Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

7. svima u Rimu, miljenicima Božjim, pozvanicima, svetima. Milost vam i mir od Boga, Oca našega, i Gospodina Isusa Krista.

8. Certainly, I give thanks to my God, through Jesus Christ, first for all of you, because your faith is being announced throughout the entire world.

8. Ponajprije zahvaljujem Bogu mojemu po Isusu Kristu za sve vas: što se vaša vjera navješæuje po svem svijetu.

9. For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit by the Gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I have kept a remembrance of you

9. Doista, svjedok mi je Bog - komu duhom svojim služim u evanðelju Sina njegova - da vas se

10. always in my prayers, pleading that in some way, at some time, I may have a prosperous journey, within the will of God, to come to you.

10. u svojim molitvama neprekidno spominjem i uvijek molim ne bi li mi se veæ jednom s voljom Božjom nekako posreæilo doæi k vama.

11. For I long to see you, so that I may impart to you a certain spiritual grace to strengthen you,

11. Jer èeznem vidjeti vas da vam predam nešto dara duhovnoga te se ojaèate, zapravo -

12. specifically, to be consoled together with you through that which is mutual: your faith and mine.

12. da se zajedno s vama ohrabrim zajednièkom vjerom, vašom i mojom.

13. But I want you to know, brothers, that I have often intended to come to you, (though I have been hindered even to the present time) so that I might obtain some fruit among you also, just as also among the other Gentiles.

13. A ne bih htio, braæo, da ne znate: èesto sam bio nakanio doæi k vama - i sve dosad bio sprijeèen - da i meðu vama uberem koji plod kao i meðu drugim narodima.

14. To the Greeks and to the uncivilized, to the wise and to the foolish, I am in debt.

14. Dužnik sam Grcima i barbarima, mudracima i neznalicama.

15. So within me there is a prompting to evangelize to you also who are at Rome.

15. Odatle moja nakana da i vama u Rimu navijestim evanðelje.

16. For I am not ashamed of the Gospel. For it is the power of God unto salvation for all believers, the Jew first, and the Greek.

16. Ne stidim se, uistinu, evanðelja: ono je snaga Božja na spasenje svakomu tko vjeruje - Židovu najprije, pa Grku.

17. For the justice of God is revealed within it, by faith unto faith, just as it was written: “For the just one lives by faith.”

17. Jer pravednost se Božja od vjere k vjeri u njemu otkriva kao što je pisano: Pravednik æe od vjere živjeti.

18. For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven over every impiety and injustice among those men who fend off the truth of God with injustice.

18. Otkriva se doista s neba gnjev Božji na svaku bezbožnost i nepravednost ljudi koji istinu sputavaju nepravednošæu.

19. For what is known about God is manifest in them. For God has manifested it to them.

19. Jer što se o Bogu može spoznati, oèito im je: Bog im oèitova.

20. For unseen things about him have been made conspicuous, since the creation of the world, being understood by the things that were made; likewise his everlasting virtue and divinity, so much so that they have no excuse.

20. Uistinu, ono nevidljivo njegovo, vjeèna njegova moæ i božanstvo, onamo od stvaranja svijeta, umom se po djelima razabire tako da nemaju isprike.

21. For although they had known God, they did not glorify God, nor give thanks. Instead, they became weakened in their thoughts, and their foolish heart was obscured.

21. Jer premda upoznaše Boga, ne iskazaše mu kao Bogu ni slavu ni zahvalnost, nego ishlapiše u mozganjima svojim te se pomraèi bezumno srce njihovo.

22. For, while proclaiming themselves to be wise, they became foolish.

22. Gradeæi se mudrima, poludješe i

23. And they exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of flying things, and of four-legged beasts, and of serpents.

23. zamijeniše slavu neraspadljivog Boga likom, oblièjem raspadljiva èovjeka, i ptica, i èetveronožaca, i gmazova.

24. For this reason, God handed them over to the desires of their own heart for impurity, so that they afflicted their own bodies with indignities among themselves.

24. Zato ih je Bog po pohotama srdaca njihovih predao neèistoæi te sami obešèašæuju svoja tijela,

25. And they exchanged the truth of God for a lie. And they worshipped and served the creature, rather than the Creator, who is blessed for all eternity. Amen.

25. oni što su Istinu - Boga zamijenili lažju, èastili i štovali stvorenje umjesto Stvoritelja, koji je blagoslovljen u vjekove. Amen.

26. Because of this, God handed them over to shameful passions. For example, their females have exchanged the natural use of the body for a use which is against nature.

26. Stoga ih je Bog predao sramotnim strastima: njihove žene zamijeniše naravno opæenje protunaravnim,

27. And similarly, the males also, abandoning the natural use of females, have burned in their desires for one another: males doing with males what is disgraceful, and receiving within themselves the recompense that necessarily results from their error.

27. a tako su i muškarci napustili naravno opæenje sa ženom i raspalili se pohotom jedni za drugima te muškarci s muškarcima sramotno èine i sami na sebi primaju zasluženu plaæu svoga zastranjenja.

28. And since they did not prove to have God by knowledge, God handed them over to a morally depraved way of thinking, so that they might do those things which are not fitting:

28. I kako nisu smatrali vrijednim držati se spoznaje Boga, predade ih Bog nevaljanu umu te èine što ne dolikuje,

29. having been completely filled with all iniquity, malice, fornication, avarice, wickedness; full of envy, murder, contention, deceit, spite, gossiping;

29. puni svake nepravde, pakosti, lakomosti, zloæe; puni zavisti, ubojstva, svaðe, prijevare, zlonamjernosti; došaptavaèi,

30. slanderous, hateful toward God, abusive, arrogant, self-exalting, devisers of evil, disobedient to parents,

30. klevetnici, mrzitelji Boga, drznici, oholice, preuzetnici, izmišljaèi zala, roditeljima neposlušni,

31. foolish, disorderly; without affection, without fidelity, without mercy.

31. nerazumni, nevjerni, bešæutni, nemilosrdni.

32. And these, though they had known the justice of God, did not understand that those who act in such a manner are deserving of death, and not only those who do these things, but also those who consent to what is done.

32. Znaju za odredbu Božju - da smrt zaslužuju koji takvo što èine - a oni ne samo da to èine nego i povlaðuju onima koji èine.
