¹Što ćemo dakle reći? Što je Abraham, otac naš, našao po tijelu?

¹What shall we say then that Abraham our father according to flesh has found?

²Doista, ako je Abraham po djelima opravdan, ima se čime dičiti - ali ne pred Bogom.

²For if Abraham has been justified on the principle of works, he has whereof to boast: but not before God;

³Ta što veli Pismo? Povjerova Abraham Bogu i uračuna mu se u pravednost.

³for what does the scripture say? And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness.

⁴Onomu tko radi ne računa se plaća kao milost, nego kao dug.

⁴Now to him that works the reward is not reckoned as of grace, but of debt:

⁵Onomu tko ne radi, a vjeruje u Onoga koji opravdava bezbožnika, vjera se uračunava u pravednost,

⁵but to him who does not work, but believes on him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is reckoned as righteousness.

⁶kao što i David blaženim proglašuje čovjeka kojemu Bog uračunava pravednost bez djela:

⁶Even as David also declares the blessedness of the man to whom God reckons righteousness without works:

⁷Blaženi oni kojima je zločin otpušten, kojima je grijeh pokriven!

⁷Blessed [they] whose lawlessnesses have been forgiven, and whose sins have been covered:

⁸Blago čovjeku komu Gospodin ne ubraja krivnju.

⁸blessed [the] man to whom [the] Lord shall not at all reckon sin.

⁹Ide li dakle ovo blaženstvo samo obrezane ili i neobrezane? Ta velimo: Vjera se Abrahamu uračuna u pravednost.

⁹[Does] this blessedness then [rest] on the circumcision, or also on the uncircumcision? For we say that faith has been reckoned to Abraham as righteousness.

¹⁰A kako mu se uračuna? Već obrezanu ili još neobrezanu? Ne obrezanu, nego neobrezanu!

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

¹¹I znak obrezanja primi kao pečat pravednosti koju je po vjeri zadobio još neobrezan, da bude ocem svih vjernika: neobrezanih - te im se uračuna pravednost -

¹¹And he received [the] sign of circumcision [as] seal of the righteousness of faith which [he had] being in uncircumcision, that he might be [the] father of all them that believe being in uncircumcision, that righteousness might be reckoned to them also;

¹²i ocem obrezanih, ne onih koji su samo obrezani, nego onih koji uz to idu stopama vjere još neobrezana oca našeg Abrahama.

¹²and father of circumcision, not only to those who are of [the] circumcision, but to those also who walk in the steps of the faith, during uncircumcision, of our father Abraham.

¹³Doista, obećanje da će biti baštinik svijeta nije Abrahamu ili njegovu potomstvu dano na temelju nekog zakona, nego na temelju pravednosti vjere.

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

¹⁴Jer ako su baštinici oni iz Zakona, prazna je vjera, jalovo obećanje.

¹⁴For if they which [are] of law be heirs, faith is made vain, and the promise made of no effect.

¹⁵Ta Zakon rađa gnjev; gdje pak nema Zakona, nema ni prekršaja.

¹⁵For law works wrath; but where no law is neither [is there] transgression.

¹⁶Zato - zbog vjere da bude po milosti to obećanje zajamčeno svemu potomstvu, ne potomstvu samo po Zakonu, nego i po vjeri Abrahama, koji je otac svih nas -

¹⁶Therefore [it is] on the principle of faith, that [it might be] according to grace, in order to the promise being sure to all the seed, not to that only which [is] of the law, but to that also which [is] of Abraham's faith, who is father of us all,

¹⁷kao što je pisano: Ocem mnoštva naroda ja te postavljam - pred Onim komu povjerova, pred Bogom koji oživljuje mrtve i zove da bude ono što nije.

¹⁷(according as it is written, I have made thee father of many nations,) before the God whom he believed, who quickens the dead, and calls the things which be not as being;

¹⁸U nadi protiv svake nade povjerova Abraham da postane ocem naroda mnogih po onom što je rečeno: Toliko će biti tvoje potomstvo.

¹⁸who against hope believed in hope to his becoming father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be:

¹⁹Nepokolebljivom vjerom promotri on tijelo svoje već obamrlo - bilo mu je blizu sto godina - i obamrlost krila Sarina.

¹⁹and not being weak in faith, he considered not his own body already become dead, being about a hundred years old, and the deadening of Sarah's womb,

²⁰Ali pred Božjim obećanjem nije nevjeran dvoumio, nego se vjerom ojačao davši slavu Bogu,

²⁰and hesitated not at the promise of God through unbelief; but found strength in faith, giving glory to God;

²¹posve uvjeren da on može učiniti što je obećao.

²¹and being fully persuaded that what he has promised he is able also to do;

²²Zato mu se i uračuna u pravednost.

²²wherefore also it was reckoned to him as righteousness.

²³Ali nije samo za nj napisano: Uračuna mu se,

²³Now it was not written on his account alone that it was reckoned to him,

²⁴nego i za nas kojima se ima uračunati, nama što vjerujemo u Onoga koji od mrtvih uskrisi Isusa, Gospodina našega,

²⁴but on ours also, to whom, believing on him who has raised from among [the] dead Jesus our Lord,

²⁵koji je predan za opačine naše i uskrišen radi našeg opravdanja.

²⁵who has been delivered for our offences and has been raised for our justification, it will be reckoned.
