¹What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather, hath found according to the flesh?

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

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

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

³For what saith the scripture? And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned 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, the reward is not reckoned as of grace, but as 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 reckoned for righteousness.

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

⁶Even as David also pronounceth blessing upon the man, unto whom God reckoneth righteousness apart from works,

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

⁷[saying], 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 reckon sin.

⁸Blahoslavený človek, ktorému Pán nepočíta hriechu.

⁹Is this blessing then pronounced upon the circumcision, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say, To Abraham his faith was reckoned 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 then was it 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 while he was in uncircumcision; that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be in uncircumcision, that righteousness might be reckoned unto them;

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 not only are of the circumcision, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham which he had in uncircumcision.

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 not through the law was the promise to Abraham or to his seed that he should be heir of the world, 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 that are of the law are heirs, faith is made void, and the promise is made of none effect:

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

¹⁵for the law worketh wrath; but where there is no law, neither is there transgression.

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

¹⁶For this cause [it is] of faith, that [it may be] according to grace; to the end that the promise may 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, A father of many nations have I made thee) before him whom he believed, [even] God, who giveth life to the dead, and calleth the things that are 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 in hope believed against hope, to the end that he might become a father of many nations, according to that which had been 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 without being weakened in faith he considered his own body now as good as dead (he being about a hundred years old), and 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

²⁰yet, looking unto the promise of God, he wavered not through unbelief, but waxed strong through faith, giving glory to God,

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

²¹and being fully assured that what he had promised, he was able also to perform.

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

²²Wherefore also it was reckoned unto him for righteousness.

²²preto mu to aj bolo počítané za spravedlivosť.

²³Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was reckoned unto him;

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

²⁴but for our sake also, unto whom it shall be reckoned, who believe on him that raised 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 up for our trespasses, and was raised for our justification.

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