¹What then will we say that Abraham, our forefather, has 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 has something to boast about, but not toward God.

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

³For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” Genesis 15:6

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

⁴Now to him who works, the reward is not counted as grace, but as something owed.

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

⁵But to him who doesn’t work, but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness.

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

⁶Even as David also pronounces blessing on the man to whom God counts righteousness apart from works,

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

⁷“Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, whose sins are covered.

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

⁸Blessed is the man whom the Lord will by no means charge with sin.” Psalm 32:1-2

⁸Blahoslavený človek, ktorému Pán nepočíta hriechu.

⁹Is this blessing then pronounced on the circumcised, or on the uncircumcised also? For we say that faith was accounted to Abraham 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 counted? 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,

¹¹He 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 those who believe, though they might be in uncircumcision, that righteousness might also be accounted to them.

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

¹²He is the father of circumcision to those 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 the promise to Abraham and to his seed that he should be heir of the world wasn’t through the law, 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 those who are of the law are heirs, faith is made void, and the promise is made of no effect.

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

¹⁵For the law works wrath, for where there is no law, neither is there disobedience.

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 -

¹⁷As it is written, “I have made you a father of many nations.” Genesis 17:5 This is in the presence of him whom he believed: God, who gives life to the dead, and calls 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 will your seed be.” Genesis 15:5

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

¹⁹Without being weakened in faith, he didn’t consider his own body, already having been worn out, (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 to the promise of God, he didn’t waver through unbelief, but grew 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 also able to perform.

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

²²Therefore it also was “reckoned to him for righteousness.” Genesis 15:6

²²preto mu to aj bolo počítané za spravedlivosť.

²³Now it was not written that it was accounted to him for his sake alone,

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

²⁴but for our sake also, to whom it will be accounted, who believe in him who 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.
