Romans 1

Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,

Pavao, sluga Krista Isusa, pozvan za apostola, odlučen za evanđelje Božje -

(Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,)

koje Bog unaprijed obećavaše po svojim prorocima u Pismima svetim

Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;

o Sinu svome, potomku Davidovu po tijelu,

And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:

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

By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:

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

Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:

među kojima ste i vi pozvanici Isusa Krista:

To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

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

First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.

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

For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers;

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

Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you.

u svojim molitvama neprekidno spominjem i uvijek molim ne bi li mi se već jednom s voljom Božjom nekako posrećilo doći k vama.

For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;

Jer čeznem vidjeti vas da vam predam nešto dara duhovnoga te se ojačate, zapravo -

That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me.

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

Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you, (but was let hitherto,) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.

A ne bih htio, braćo, da ne znate: često sam bio nakanio doći k vama - i sve dosad bio spriječen - da i među vama uberem koji plod kao i među drugim narodima.

I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise.

Dužnik sam Grcima i barbarima, mudracima i neznalicama.

So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.

Odatle moja nakana da i vama u Rimu navijestim evanđelje.

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

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

For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

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

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

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

Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

Jer što se o Bogu može spoznati, očito im je: Bog im očitova.

For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

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

Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

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

Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

Gradeći se mudrima, poludješe i

And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

zamijeniše slavu neraspadljivog Boga likom, obličjem raspadljiva čovjeka, i ptica, i četveronožaca, i gmazova.

Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

Zato ih je Bog po pohotama srdaca njihovih predao nečistoći te sami obeščašćuju svoja tijela,

Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

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

For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

Stoga ih je Bog predao sramotnim strastima: njihove žene zamijeniše naravno općenje protunaravnim,

And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

a tako su i muškarci napustili naravno općenje sa ženom i raspalili se pohotom jedni za drugima te muškarci s muškarcima sramotno čine i sami na sebi primaju zasluženu plaću svoga zastranjenja.

And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

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

Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

puni svake nepravde, pakosti, lakomosti, zloće; puni zavisti, ubojstva, svađe, prijevare, zlonamjernosti; došaptavači,

Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

klevetnici, mrzitelji Boga, drznici, oholice, preuzetnici, izmišljači zala, roditeljima neposlušni,

Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

nerazumni, nevjerni, bešćutni, nemilosrdni.

Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

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