2 Corinthians 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our brother, to the assembly of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints who are in the whole of Achaia:
Od Pavla, apostola Isusa Hrista po volji Božijoj i brata Timotija crkvi Božijoj u Korintu, sa svima svetima koji su u svoj Ahaji:
2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Blagodat vam i mir od Boga oca našega, i Gospoda Isusa Hrista.
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,
Blagosloven Bog i otac Gospoda našega Isusa Hrista, otac milosti i Bog svake utjehe,
4 who comforts us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
Koji nas utješava u svakoj nevolji našoj, da bismo mogli utješiti one koji su u svakoj nevolji utjehom kojom nas same Bog utješava.
5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound to us, even so our comfort also abounds through Christ.
Jer kako se stradanja Hristova umnožavaju na nama tako se i utjeha naša umnožava kroz Hrista.
6 But if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation. If we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer.
Ako li smo pak u nevolji, za vašu je utjehu i spasenije, koje postaje u trpljenju tijeh istijeh stradanja koja i mi podnosimo.
7 Our hope for you is steadfast, knowing that, since you are partakers of the sufferings, so you are also of the comfort.
I nadanje naše tvrdo je za vas. Ako li se utješavamo, za vašu je utjehu i spasenije, znajuæi da kao što ste zajednièari u našemu stradanju tako i u utjesi.
8 For we do not desire to have you uninformed, brothers, concerning our affliction which happened to us in Asia: that we were weighed down exceedingly, beyond our power, so much that we despaired even of life.
Jer vam neæemo, braæo, zatajiti nevolje naše koja nam se dogodi u Aziji kad nam je bilo preteško i preko sile tako da se nijesmo nadali ni življeti;
9 Yes, we ourselves have had the sentence of death within ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead,
Nego sami u sebi osudismo da nam valja pomrijeti da se veæ ne uzdasmo u sebe nego u Boga koji podiže mrtve.
10 who delivered us out of so great a death, and does deliver, on whom we have set our hope that he will also still deliver us,
Koji nas je od tolike smrti izbavio, i izbavlja; i u njega se uzdamo da æe nas i još izbaviti,
11 you also helping together on our behalf by your supplication; that, for the gift given to us by means of many, thanks may be given by many persons on your behalf.
S pomoæu i vaše molitve za nas; da mnogi ljudi mnogu hvalu daju Bogu za dare koji su nama dati vas radi.
12 For our boasting is this: the testimony of our conscience that in holiness and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God, we behaved ourselves in the world, and more abundantly toward you.
Jer je naša slava ovo: svjedoèanstvo savjesti naše da smo u prostoti i èistoti Božijoj a ne u mudrosti tjelesnoj nego po blagodati Božijoj življeli na svijetu, a osobito meðu vama.
13 For we write no other things to you than what you read or even acknowledge, and I hope you will acknowledge to the end—
Jer vam drugo ne pišemo nego što èitate i razumijevate. A nadam se da æete i do kraja razumjeti.
14 as also you acknowledged us in part—that we are your boasting, even as you also are ours, in the day of our Lord Jesus.
Kao što neki i razumjeste da smo vam slava kao i vi nama za dan Gospoda našega Isusa Hrista.
15 In this confidence, I was determined to come first to you, that you might have a second benefit,
I u ovom pouzdanju šæadijah da vam doðem prije, da drugu blagodat imate;
16 and by you to pass into Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come to you, and to be sent forward by you on my journey to Judea.
I kroz vas da doðem u Maæedoniju, i opet iz Maæedonije da doðem k vama, i vi da me pratite u Judeju.
17 When I therefore planned this, did I show fickleness? Or the things that I plan, do I plan according to the flesh, that with me there should be the “Yes, yes” and the “No, no?”
Ali kad sam ovo htio, eda li sam dakle što nepostojano èinio? Ili što se nakanjujem, da se po tijelu nakanjujem, da bude u mene da da, a ne ne?
18 But as God is faithful, our word toward you was not “Yes and no.”
Ali je Bog vjeran, te rijeè naša k vama ne bi da i ne.
19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us—by me, Silvanus, and Timothy—was not “Yes and no,” but in him is “Yes.”
Jer sin Božij Isus Hristos, kojega mi vama propovijedasmo ja i Silvan i Timotije, ne bi da i ne, nego u njemu bi da.
20 For however many are the promises of God, in him is the “Yes.” Therefore also through him is the “Amen”, to the glory of God through us.
Jer koliko je obeæanja Božijeh, u njemu su da, i u njemu amin, Bogu na slavu kroz nas.
21 Now he who establishes us with you in Christ and anointed us is God,
A Bog je koji nas utvrdi s vama u Hristu, i pomaza nas,
22 who also sealed us and gave us the down payment of the Spirit in our hearts.
Koji nas i zapeèati, i dade zalog Duha u srca naša.
23 But I call God for a witness to my soul, that to spare you, I did not come to Corinth.
A ja za svjedoka Boga prizivam na svoju dušu da štedeæi vas ne doðoh više u Korint.
24 We do not control your faith, but are fellow workers with you for your joy. For you stand firm in faith.
Ne kao da mi vladamo vjerom vašom, nego smo pomagaèi vaše radosti; jer u vjeri stojite.
