Romans, 2

1. For this reason, O man, each one of you who judges is inexcusable. For by that which you judge another, you condemn yourself. For you do the same things that you judge.

1. Zato nemaš isprike, èovjeèe koji sudiš, tko god ti bio. Jer time što drugoga sudiš, sebe osuðuješ: ta to isto èiniš ti što sudiš.

2. For we know that the judgment of God is in accord with truth against those who do such things.

2. Znamo pak: Bog po istini sudi one koji takvo što èine.

3. But, O man, when you judge those who do such things as you yourself also do, do you think that you will escape the judgment of God?

3. Misliš li da æeš izbjeæi sudu Božjemu, ti èovjeèe što sudiš one koji takvo što èine, a sam to isto èiniš?

4. Or do you despise the riches of his goodness and patience and forbearance? Do you not know that the kindness of God is calling you to repentance?

4. Ili prezireš bogatstvo dobrote, strpljivosti i velikodušnosti njegove ne shvaæajuæi da te dobrota Božja k obraæenju privodi?

5. But in accord with your hard and impenitent heart, you store up wrath for yourself, unto the day of wrath and of revelation by the just judgment of God.

5. Tvrdokornošæu svojom i srcem koje neæe obraæenja zgræeš na se gnjev za Dan gnjeva i objavljenja pravedna suda Boga

6. For he will render to each one according to his works:

6. koji æe uzvratiti svakom po djelima:

7. To those who, in accord with patient good works, seek glory and honor and incorruption, certainly, he will render eternal life.

7. onima koji postojanošæu u dobrim djelima ištu slavu, èast i neraspadljivost - život vjeèni;

8. But to those who are contentious and who do not acquiesce to the truth, but instead trust in iniquity, he will render wrath and indignation.

8. buntovnicima pak i nepokornima istini, a pokornima nepravdi - gnjev i srdžba!

9. Tribulation and anguish are upon every soul of man that works evil: the Jew first, and also the Greek.

9. Nevolja i tjeskoba na svaku dušu èovjeèju koja èini zlo, na Židova najprije, pa na Grka;

10. But glory and honor and peace are for all who do what is good: the Jew first, and also the Greek.

10. a slava, èast i mir svakomu koji èini dobro, Židovu najprije, pa Grku!

11. For there is no favoritism with God.

11. Ta u Boga nema pristranosti.

12. For whoever had sinned without the law, will perish without the law. And whoever had sinned in the law, will be judged by the law.

12. Uistinu koji bez Zakona sagriješiše, bez Zakona æe i propasti; i koji pod Zakonom sagriješiše, po Zakonu æe biti suðeni.

13. For it is not the hearers of the law who are just before God, but rather it is the doers of the law who shall be justified.

13. Ne, pred Bogom nisu pravedni slušatelji Zakona, nego - izvršitelji æe Zakona biti opravdani.

14. For when the Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature those things which are of the law, such persons, not having the law, are a law unto themselves.

14. Ta kad se god pogani, koji nemaju Zakona, po naravi drže Zakona, i nemajuæi Zakona, oni su sami sebi Zakon:

15. For they reveal the work of the law written in their hearts, while their conscience renders testimony about them, and their thoughts within themselves also accuse or even defend them,

15. pokazuju da je ono što Zakon nalaže upisano u srcima njihovim. O tom svjedoèi i njihova savjest, a i prosuðivanja kojima se meðu sobom optužuju ili brane.

16. unto the day when God shall judge the hidden things of men, through Jesus Christ, according to my Gospel.

16. To æe se oèitovati na Dan u koji æe, po mojem evanðelju, Bog po Isusu Kristu suditi ono što je skriveno u ljudima.

17. But if you are called by name a Jew, and you rest upon the law, and you find glory in God,

17. Ako pak ti koji se Židovom nazivaš, koji mirno poèivaš na Zakonu i dièiš se Bogom,

18. and you have known his will, and you demonstrate the more useful things, having been instructed by the law:

18. koji poznaješ Volju i iz Zakona pouèen razluèuješ što je bolje

19. you become confident within yourself that you are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,

19. te si uvjeren da si voða slijepih, svjetlo onih u tami,

20. an instructor to the foolish, a teacher to children, because you have a type of knowledge and truth in the law.

20. odgojitelj nerazumnih, uèitelj nejaèadi jer u Zakonu imaš olièenje znanja i istine;

21. As a result, you teach others, but you do not teach yourself. You preach that men should not steal, but you yourself steal.

21. ti, dakle, koji drugoga uèiš, sam sebe ne uèiš! Ti koji propovijedaš da se ne krade, kradeš!

22. You speak against adultery, but you commit adultery. You abominate idols, but you commit sacrilege.

22. Ti koji zabranjuješ preljub, preljub poèinjaš! Ti komu su odvratni kumiri, pljaèkaš hramove!

23. You would glory in the law, but through a betrayal of the law you dishonor God.

23. Ti koji se Zakonom dièiš, kršenjem toga Zakona Boga obešèašæuješ!

24. (For because of you the name of God is being blasphemed among the Gentiles, just as it was written.)

24. Doista, kako je pisano, ime se Božje zbog vas huli meðu narodima.

25. Certainly, circumcision is beneficial, if you observe the law. But if you are a betrayer of the law, your circumcision becomes uncircumcision.

25. Da, obrezanje koristi ako vršiš Zakon; ako pak kršiš Zakon, obrezanje tvoje postalo je neobrezanje.

26. And so, if the uncircumcised keep the justices of the law, shall not this lack of circumcision be counted as circumcision?

26. Ako dakle neobrezani opslužuje propise Zakona, neæe li se njegovo neobrezanje smatrati obrezanjem?

27. And that which is by nature uncircumcised, if it fulfills the law, should it not judge you, who by the letter and by circumcision are a betrayer of the law?

27. I onaj koji je podrijetlom neobrezanik, a ispunja Zakon, sudit æe tebi koji si, uza sve slovo i obrezanje, prijestupnik Zakona.

28. For a Jew is not he who seems so outwardly. Neither is circumcision that which seems so outwardly, in the flesh.

28. Ta nije Židov tko je Židov naizvana i nije obrezanje ono izvana,

29. But a Jew is he who is so inwardly. And circumcision of the heart is in the spirit, not in the letter. For its praise is not of men, but of God.

29. na tijelu, nego pravi je Židov u nutrini i pravo je obrezanje u srcu, po duhu, ne po slovu. Pohvala mu nije od ljudi, nego od Boga.
