¹What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found?

¹Čo tedy povieme o Abrahámovi, o svojom praotcovi, že čo našiel podľa tela?

²For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God.

²Lebo ak bol Abrahám ospravedlnený zo skutkov, má sa čím chváliť, ale nie u Boha.

³For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.

³Lebo veď čo hovorí Písmo? A Abrahám uveril Bohu, a bolo mu to počítané za spravedlivosť.

⁴Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.

⁴Tomu však, kto robí skutky, nepočíta sa mzda podľa milosti, ale podľa podlžnosti.

⁵But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.

⁵Ale tomu, kto nerobí skutkov, ale verí na toho, ktorý ospravedlňuje bezbožného, počíta sa jeho viera za spravedlivosť.

⁶Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,

⁶Ako aj Dávid hovorí o blahoslavenstve človeka, ktorému Bôh počíta spravedlivosť bez skutkov:

⁷Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.

⁷Blahoslavení, ktorým sú odpustené neprávosti, a ktorých hriechy sú prikryté!

⁸Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.

⁸Blahoslavený človek, ktorému Pán nepočíta hriechu.

⁹Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.

⁹Čo tedy, či sa vzťahuje toto blahoslavenstvo iba na obriezku a či aj na neobriezku? Lebo hovoríme, že Abrahámovi sa počítala viera za spravedlivosť.

¹⁰How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.

¹⁰A tak ako sa mu počítala? Či vtedy, keď bol v obriezke, keď bol obrezaný, a či v neobriezke, keď bol ešte neobrezaný? Nie v obriezke, ale v neobriezke,

¹¹And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also:

¹¹a dostal znamenie obriezky jako pečať spravedlivosti viery, viery v neobriezke, aby bol otcom všetkých veriacich neobriezkou, aby aj im bola pripočítaná spravedlivosť,

¹²And the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet uncircumcised.

¹²a aby bol otcom obriezky nie len tým, ktorí sú z obriezky, ale aj tým, ktorí kráčajú v šľapajach viery, viery v neobriezke, našeho otca Abraháma.

¹³For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.

¹³Lebo nie skrze zákon bolo dané Abrahámovi alebo jeho semenu zasľúbenie, že bude dedičom sveta, ale skrze spravedlivosť viery.

¹⁴For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect:

¹⁴Lebo ak sú dedičmi tí, ktorí sú zo zákona, vtedy je vyprázdnená viera a zmarené je zasľúbenie.

¹⁵Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.

¹⁵Lebo zákon pôsobí hnev; lebo tam, kde nieto zákona, niet ani prestúpenia.

¹⁶Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,

¹⁶Preto z viery, aby bolo podľa milosti, aby bolo zasľúbenie pevné všetkému semenu, nie len tomu zo zákona, ale aj tomu z viery Abrahámovej, ktorý je otcom všetkých nás -

¹⁷(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.

¹⁷ako je napísané: Učinil som ťa otcom mnohých národov - pred tvárou Boha, ktorému uveril, a ktorý oživuje mŕtvych a volá to, čo nie je, ako čo by bolo;

¹⁸Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.

¹⁸ktorý tam, kde nebolo nádeje, uveril v nádeji, aby bol otcom mnohých národov podľa povedaného: Tak bude tvoje semä;

¹⁹And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb:

¹⁹a neoslabnúc vo viere nehľadel na svoje už umŕtvené telo majúc okolo sto rokov ani na umŕtvenie života Sáry

²⁰He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;

²⁰a nepochyboval o zasľúbení Božom v nevere, ale bol posilnený vo viere dajúc slávu Bohu

²¹And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.

²¹a súc cele istý toho, že to, čo zasľúbil, je mocný aj učiniť,

²²And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.

²²preto mu to aj bolo počítané za spravedlivosť.

²³Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him;

²³A nie je to napísané iba pre neho, že sa mu počítalo,

²⁴But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;

²⁴ale aj pre nás, ktorým sa má počítať, nám veriacim na toho, ktorý vzkriesil Ježiša, nášho Pána, z mŕtvych,

²⁵Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.

²⁵ktorý bol vydaný pre naše hriechy a vstal z mŕtvych pre naše ospravedlnenie.
