¹Foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you not to obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was openly set forth among you as crucified?

¹O bezumni Galaćani, tko li vas opčara? A pred očima vam je Isus Krist bio ocrtan kao Raspeti.

²I just want to learn this from you. Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by hearing of faith?

²Ovo bih samo htio doznati od vas: jeste li primili Duha po djelima Zakona ili po vjeri u Poruku?

³Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now completed in the flesh?

³Tako li ste bezumni? Započeli ste u Duhu pa da sada u tijelu dovršite?

⁴Did you suffer so many things in vain, if it is indeed in vain?

⁴Zar ste toliko toga uzalud doživjeli? A kad bi doista bilo uzalud!

⁵He therefore who supplies the Spirit to you, and works miracles among you, does he do it by the works of the law, or by hearing of faith?

⁵Onaj dakle koji vam daje Duha i čini među vama silna djela, čini li to zbog djela Zakona ili zbog vjere u Poruku?

⁶Even as Abraham “believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness.”

⁶Tako Abraham povjerova Bogu i uračuna mu se u pravednost.

⁷Know therefore that those who are of faith, the same are children of Abraham.

⁷Shvatite dakle: oni od vjere, to su sinovi Abrahamovi.

⁸The Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the Good News beforehand to Abraham, saying, “In you all the nations will be blessed.” Genesis 12:3; 18:18; 22:18

⁸A Pismo, predvidjevši da Bog po vjeri opravdava pogane, unaprijed navijesti Abrahamu: U tebi će blagoslovljeni biti svi narodi.

⁹So then, those who are of faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham.

⁹Tako: oni od vjere blagoslivlju se s vjernikom Abrahamom.

¹⁰For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse. For it is written, “Cursed is everyone who doesn’t continue in all things that are written in the book of the law, to do them.” Deuteronomy 27:26

¹⁰Doista, koji su god od djela Zakona, pod prokletstvom su. Ta pisano je: Proklet tko se god ne drži i tko ne vrši svega što je napisano u Knjizi Zakona.

¹¹Now that no man is justified by the law before God is evident, for, “The righteous will live by faith.” Habakkuk 2:4

¹¹A da se pred Bogom nitko ne opravdava Zakonom, očito je jer: Pravednik će od vjere živjeti.

¹²The law is not of faith, but, “The man who does them will live by them.” Leviticus 18:5

¹²Zakon pak nije od vjere, nego veli: Tko ga vrši, u njemu će naći život.

¹³Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us. For it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree,” Deuteronomy 21:23

¹³Krist nas otkupi od prokletstva Zakona, postavši za nas prokletstvom - jer pisano je: Proklet je tko god visi na drvetu -

¹⁴that the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Christ Jesus; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

¹⁴da u Kristu Isusu na pogane dođe blagoslov Abrahamov: da Obećanje, Duha, primimo po vjeri.

¹⁵Brothers, speaking of human terms, though it is only a man’s covenant, yet when it has been confirmed, no one makes it void, or adds to it.

¹⁵Braćo, po ljudsku govorim: već i ljudski valjan savez nitko ne poništava niti mu što dodaje.

¹⁶Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. He doesn’t say, “To seeds,” as of many, but as of one, “To your seed,” Genesis 12:7; 13:15; 24:7 which is Christ.

¹⁶A ova su obećanja dana Abrahamu i potomstvu njegovu. Ne veli se: "i potomcima" kao o mnogima, nego kao o jednomu: I potomstvu tvojem, to jest Kristu.

¹⁷Now I say this. A covenant confirmed beforehand by God in Christ, the law, which came four hundred thirty years after, does not annul, so as to make the promise of no effect.

¹⁷Ovo hoću kazati: Saveza koji je Bog valjano sklopio ne obeskrepljuje Zakon, koji je nastao četiri stotine i trideset godina poslije, i ne dokida obećanja.

¹⁸For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no more of promise; but God has granted it to Abraham by promise.

¹⁸Doista, ako se baština zadobiva po Zakonu, ne zadobiva se po obećanju. A Abrahama je Bog po obećanju obdario.

¹⁹What then is the law? It was added because of transgressions, until the seed should come to whom the promise has been made. It was ordained through angels by the hand of a mediator.

¹⁹Čemu onda Zakon? Dometnut je poradi prekršaja dok ne dođe potomstvo komu je namijenjeno obećanje; sastavljen je po anđelima preko posrednika.

²⁰Now a mediator is not between one, but God is one.

²⁰Posrednika pak nema gdje je samo jedan. A Bog je jedan.

²¹Is the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not! For if there had been a law given which could make alive, most certainly righteousness would have been of the law.

²¹Zar je dakle Zakon protiv obećanja Božjih? Nipošto! Jer da je dan Zakon koji bi mogao oživljavati, pravednost bi doista proizlazila iz Zakona.

²²But the Scriptures imprisoned all things under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.

²²Ali je Pismo sve zatvorilo pod grijeh da se, po vjeri u Isusa Krista, obećano dade onima koji vjeruju.

²³But before faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, confined for the faith which should afterwards be revealed.

²³Prije dolaska vjere, pod Zakonom zatvoreni, bili smo čuvani za vjeru koja se imala objaviti.

²⁴So that the law has become our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

²⁴Tako nam je Zakon bio nadzirateljem sve do Krista da se po vjeri opravdamo.

²⁵But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.

²⁵A otkako je nadošla vjera, nismo više pod nadzirateljem.

²⁶For you are all children of God, through faith in Christ Jesus.

²⁶Uistinu, svi ste sinovi Božji, po vjeri u Kristu Isusu.

²⁷For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

²⁷Doista, koji ste god u Krista kršteni, Kristom se zaodjenuste.

²⁸There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

²⁸Nema više: Židov - Grk! Nema više: rob - slobodnjak! Nema više: muško - žensko! Svi ste vi Jedan u Kristu Isusu!

²⁹If you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed and heirs according to promise.

²⁹Ako li ste Kristovi, onda ste Abrahamovo potomstvo, baštinici po obećanju.
