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

¹What, then, shall we say Abraham our father, to have found, according to flesh?

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

²for if Abraham by works was declared righteous, he hath to boast — but not before god;

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

³for what doth the writing say? `And Abraham did believe God, and it was reckoned to him — to righteousness;`

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

⁴and to him who is working, the reward is not reckoned of grace, but of debt;

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

⁵and to him who is not working, and is believing upon Him who is declaring righteous the impious, his faith is reckoned — to righteousness:

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

⁶even as David also doth speak of the happiness of the man to whom God doth reckon righteousness apart from works:

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

⁷`Happy they whose lawless acts were forgiven, and whose sins were covered;

⁸Blahoslavený človek, ktorému Pán nepočíta hriechu.

⁸happy the man to whom the Lord may not reckon sin.`

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

⁹[Is] this happiness, then, upon the circumcision, or also upon the uncircumcision — for we say that the faith was reckoned to Abraham — to righteousness?

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,

¹⁰how then was it reckoned? he being in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision;

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

¹¹and a sign he did receive of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith in the uncircumcision, for his being father of all those believing through uncircumcision, for the righteousness also being reckoned to them,

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.

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

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

¹³For not through law [is] the promise to Abraham, or to his seed, of his being heir of the world, but through the righteousness of faith;

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

¹⁴for if they who are of law [are] heirs, the faith hath been made void, and the promise hath been made useless;

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

¹⁵for the law doth work wrath; for where law is not, neither [is] transgression.

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 -

¹⁶Because of this [it is] of faith, that [it may be] according to grace, for the promise being sure to all the seed, not to that which [is] of the law only, but also to that which [is] of the faith of Abraham,

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;

¹⁷who is father of us all (according as it hath been written — `A father of many nations I have set thee,`) before Him whom he did believe — God, who is quickening the dead, and is calling the things that be not as being.

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

¹⁸Who, against hope in hope did believe, for his becoming father of many nations according to that spoken: `So shall thy seed be;`

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

¹⁹and not having been weak in the faith, he did not consider his own body, already become dead, (being about a hundred years old,) and the deadness of Sarah`s womb,

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

²⁰and at the promise of God did not stagger in unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, having given glory to God,

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

²¹and having been fully persuaded that what He hath promised He is able also to do:

²²preto mu to aj bolo počítané za spravedlivosť.

²²wherefore also it was reckoned to him to righteousness.

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

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

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

²⁴but also on ours, to whom it is about to be reckoned — to us believing on Him who did raise up Jesus our Lord out of the dead,

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

²⁵who was delivered up because of our offences, and was raised up because of our being declared righteous.
