¹Pitam dakle: Zar je Bog odbacio narod svoj? Nipošto? Ta i ja sam Izraelac, iz potomstva Abrahamova, plemena Benjaminova.

¹I say then, Has God cast away his people? Far be the thought. For *I* also am an Israelite, of [the] seed of Abraham, of [the] tribe of Benjamin.

²Nije Bog odbacio naroda svojega koga predvidje. Ili zar ne znate što veli Pismo, ono o Iliji - kako se tuži Bogu na Izraela:

²God has not cast away his people whom he foreknew. Know ye not what the scripture says in [the history of] Elias, how he pleads with God against Israel?

³Gospode, proroke tvoje pobiše, žrtvenike tvoje porušiše; ja ostadoh sam i još mi o glavi rade.

³Lord, they have killed thy prophets, they have dug down thine altars; and *I* have been left alone, and they seek my life.

⁴Pa što mu veli Božji glas? Ostavih sebi sedam tisuća ljudi koji ne prignuše koljena pred Baalom.

⁴But what says the divine answer to him? I have left to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed knee to Baal.

⁵Tako dakle i u sadašnje vrijeme postoji Ostatak po milosnom izboru.

⁵Thus, then, in the present time also there has been a remnant according to election of grace.

⁶Ako pak po milosti, nije po djelima; inače milost nije više milost!

⁶But if by grace, no longer of works: since [otherwise] grace is no more grace.

⁷Što dakle? Što Izrael ište, to nije postigao, ali izabrani postigoše. Ostali pak otvrdnuše,

⁷What [is it] then? What Israel seeks for, that he has not obtained; but the election has obtained, and the rest have been blinded,

⁸kao što je pisano: Dade im Bog duh obamrlosti, oči da ne vide, uši da ne čuju sve do dana današnjega.

⁸according as it is written, God has given to them a spirit of slumber, eyes not to see, and ears not to hear, unto this day.

⁹I David veli: Nek im stol pred njima bude zamkom, i mrežom, i stupicom, i plaćom.

⁹And David says, Let their table be for a snare, and for a gin, and for a fall-trap, and for a recompense to them:

¹⁰Nek im potamne oči da ne vide i leđa im zauvijek pogni!

¹⁰let their eyes be darkened not to see, and bow down their back alway.

¹¹Pitam dakle: jesu li posrnuli da propadnu? Nipošto! Naprotiv: po njihovu posrtaju spasenje poganima da se tako oni, Židovi, izazovu na ljubomor.

¹¹I say then, Have they stumbled in order that they might fall? Far be the thought: but by their fall [there is] salvation to the nations to provoke them to jealousy.

¹²Pa ako je njihov posrtaj bogatstvo za svijet, i njihovo smanjenje bogatstvo za pogane, koliko li će više to biti njihov puni broj?

¹²But if their fall [be the] world's wealth, and their loss [the] wealth of [the] nations, how much rather their fulness?

¹³Vama pak, poganima, velim: ja kao apostol pogana službu svoju proslavljam

¹³For I speak to you, the nations, inasmuch as *I* am apostle of nations, I glorify my ministry;

¹⁴ne bih li na ljubomor izazvao njih, tijelo svoje, i spasio neke od njih.

¹⁴if by any means I shall provoke to jealousy [them which are] my flesh, and shall save some from among them.

¹⁵Jer ako je njihovo odbačenje izmirenje svijeta, što li će biti njihovo prihvaćanje ako ne oživljenje od mrtvih?

¹⁵For if their casting away [be the] world's reconciliation, what [their] reception but life from among [the] dead?

¹⁶Ako li su prvine svete, sveto je i tijesto; ako li je korijen svet, svete su i grane.

¹⁶Now if the first-fruit [be] holy, the lump also; and if the root [be] holy, the branches also.

¹⁷Pa ako su neke grane odlomljene, a ti, divlja maslina, pricijepljen umjesto njih, postao suzajedničar korijena, sočnosti masline,

¹⁷Now if some of the branches have been broken out, and *thou*, being a wild olive tree, hast been grafted in amongst them, and hast become a fellow-partaker of the root and of the fatness of the olive tree,

¹⁸ne uznosi se nad grane. Ako li se hoćeš uznositi - ne nosiš ti korijena, nego korijen tebe.

¹⁸boast not against the branches; but if thou boast, [it is] not *thou* bearest the root, but the root thee.

¹⁹Reći ćeš na to: grane su odlomljene da se ja pricijepim.

¹⁹Thou wilt say then, The branches have been broken out in order that *I* might be grafted in.

²⁰Dobro! Oni su zbog nevjere odlomljeni, a ti po vjeri stojiš. Ne uznosi se, nego strahuj!

²⁰Right: they have been broken out through unbelief, and *thou* standest through faith. Be not high-minded, but fear:

²¹Jer ako Bog ne poštedje prirodnih grana, ni tebe neće poštedjeti.

²¹if God indeed has not spared the natural branches; lest it might be he spare not thee either.

²²Promotri dakle dobrotu i strogost Božju: strogost na palima, a dobrotu Božju na sebi ako ostaneš u toj dobroti, inače ćeš i ti biti odsječen.

²²Behold then [the] goodness and severity of God: upon them who have fallen, severity; upon thee goodness of God, if thou shalt abide in goodness, since [otherwise] *thou* also wilt be cut away.

²³A i oni, ako ne ostanu u nevjeri, bit će pricijepljeni; ta moćan je Bog da ih opet pricijepi.

²³And *they* too, if they abide not in unbelief, shall be grafted in; for God is able again to graft them in.

²⁴Doista, ako si ti, po naravi divlja maslina, odsječen pa mimo narav pricijepljen na pitomu maslinu, koliko li će lakše oni po naravi biti pricijepljeni na vlastitu maslinu!

²⁴For if *thou* hast been cut out of the olive tree wild by nature, and, contrary to nature, hast been grafted into the good olive tree, how much rather shall they, who are according to nature be grafted into their own olive tree?

²⁵Jer ne bih htio, braćo, da budete sami po sebi pametni, a da ne znate ovo otajstvo: djelomično je otvrdnuće zadesilo Izraela dok punina pogana ne uđe.

²⁵For I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, of this mystery, that ye may not be wise in your own conceits, that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the nations be come in;

²⁶I tako će se cio Izrael spasiti, kako je pisano: Doći će sa Siona Otkupitelj, odvratit će bezbožnost od Jakova.

²⁶and so all Israel shall be saved. According as it is written, The deliverer shall come out of Zion; he shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob.

²⁷I to će biti moj Savez s njima, kad uklonim grijehe njihove.

²⁷And this is the covenant from me to them, when I shall have taken away their sins.

²⁸U pogledu evanđelja oni su, istina, protivnici poradi vas, ali u pogledu izabranja oni su ljubimci poradi otaca.

²⁸As regards the glad tidings, [they are] enemies on your account; but as regards election, beloved on account of the fathers.

²⁹Ta neopozivi su dari i poziv Božji!

²⁹For the gifts and the calling of God [are] not subject to repentance.

³⁰Doista, kao što vi nekoć bijaste neposlušni Bogu, a sada po njihovoj neposlušnosti zadobiste milosrđe

³⁰For as indeed *ye* [also] once have not believed in God, but now have been objects of mercy through the unbelief of *these*;

³¹tako i oni sada po milosrđu vama iskazanu postadoše neposlušni da i oni sada zadobiju milosrđe.

³¹so these also have now not believed in your mercy, in order that *they* also may be objects of mercy.

³²Jer Bog je sve zatvorio u neposlušnost da se svima smiluje.

³²For God hath shut up together all in unbelief, in order that he might shew mercy to all.

³³O dubino bogatstva, i mudrosti, i spoznanja Božjega! Kako li su nedokučivi sudovi i neistraživi putovi njegovi!

³³O depth of riches both of [the] wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable his judgments, and untraceable his ways!

³⁴Doista, tko spozna misao Gospodnju, tko li mu bi savjetnikom?

³⁴For who has known [the] mind of [the] Lord, or who has been his counsellor?

³⁵Ili: tko ga darom preteče da bi mu se uzvratiti moralo?

³⁵or who has first given to him, and it shall be rendered to him?

³⁶Jer sve je od njega i po njemu i za njega! Njemu slava u vjekove! Amen.

³⁶For of him, and through him, and for him [are] all things: to him be glory for ever. Amen.
