2 Corinthians 5
1 We know that when this earthly “tent” we live in is taken down, we have a house prepared by God, not made by human hands. It is eternal and is in heaven. (aiōnios g166)
Jer znamo da kad se zemaljska naša kuæa tijela raskopa, imamo zgradu od Boga, kuæu nerukotvorenu, vjeènu na nebesima. (aiōnios g166)
2 We sigh with longing for this, wanting so badly to be clothed with this new heavenly home.
Jer za tijem uzdišemo, želeæi obuæi se u svoj nebeski stan.
3 When we put on this clothing we won't be seen naked.
I da se obuèeni, ne goli naðemo!
4 While we are in this “tent” we sigh, being weighed down by this life. It's not so much that we want to take off the clothing of this life but that we look forward to what we shall be clothed with, so that what is mortal may be overwhelmed by life.
Jer buduæi u ovome tijelu, uzdišemo otežali; jer neæemo da se svuèemo, nego da se preobuèemo, da život proždere smrtno.
5 It's God himself who prepared us for all this, and who provided the Spirit as a guarantee to us.
A onaj koji nas za ovo isto stvori, Bog je, koji nam i dade zalog Duha.
6 So we remain confident, knowing that while we are at home here in our physical bodies, we are away from the Lord.
Dobre smo dakle volje jednako, jer znamo da putujemo u tijelu, daleko od Gospoda.
7 (For we live by trusting in God, not by seeing him.)
Jer po vjeri živimo a ne po gledanju.
8 As I say, we are confident, wanting to be away from the body so we can be at home with the Lord.
Ali se ne bojimo, i mnogo volimo otiæi od tijela, i iæi ka Gospodu.
9 That's why our goal, whether home here in our bodies or not, is to make sure we please him.
Zato se i staramo, ili ulazili ili odlazili, da budemo njemu ugodni.
10 For all of us must appear before Christ's seat of judgment. Each of us will receive what we deserve for what we have done in this life, whether it is good or bad.
Jer nam se svima valja javiti na sudu Hristovu, da primimo svaki što je koji u tijelu èinio, ili dobro ili zlo;
11 Knowing how we are in awe of the Lord, we try to convince others. It's clear to God what we are, and I hope that it's clear to your minds too.
Znajuæi dakle strah Gospodnji ljude svjetujemo; a Bogu smo poznati, a nadamo se da smo i u vašijem savjestima poznati.
12 We are not trying to speak well of ourselves again, just trying to give you the opportunity to be proud of us, so you can answer those who are proud of outward show and not what they are inside.
Jer se ne hvalimo opet pred vama, nego vama dajemo uzrok da se hvalite nama, da imate što odgovoriti onima koji se hvale onijem što je spolja a ne što je u srcu.
13 If we are “crazy people,” it's for God. If we make good sense, it's for you.
Jer ako se odviše hvalimo, Bogu se hvalimo; ako li smo smjerni, vama smo.
14 Christ's love urges us on, because we're absolutely sure that he died for everyone, and so everyone died.
Jer ljubav Božija nagoni nas, kad mislimo ovo: ako jedan za sve umrije, to dakle svi umriješe.
15 Christ died for everyone so that they shouldn't live any longer for themselves, but for him who died and rose again for them.
Hristos za sve umrije, da oni koji žive ne žive više sebi, nego onome koji za njih umrije i vaskrse.
16 From now on we don't look at anyone from a human point of view. Even though we once viewed Christ this way, we don't do so any longer.
Zato i mi otsad nikoga ne poznajemo po tijelu; i ako Hrista poznasmo po tijelu, ali ga sad više ne poznajemo.
17 That's why anyone who is in Christ is a new being—what was old is gone, the new has come!
Zato ako je ko u Hristu, nova je tvar: staro proðe, gle, sve novo postade.
18 God did all this by changing us from enemies into friends through Christ. God gave us this same work of changing his enemies into his friends.
Ali je sve od Boga, koji pomiri nas sa sobom kroz Isusa Hrista, i dade nam službu pomirenja.
19 For God was in Christ bringing the world back from hostility to friendship with him, not counting anyone's sins against them, and giving us this message to change his enemies into his friends.
Jer Bog bješe u Hristu, i svijet pomiri sa sobom ne primivši im grijeha njihovijeh, i metnuvši u nas rijeè pomirenja.
20 So we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God is pleading through us: “Please, won't you come back and be God's friend?”
Tako smo mi poslani mjesto Hrista, kao da Bog govori kroz nas; molimo vas u ime Hristovo, pomirite se s Bogom.
21 God made Jesus, who never personally sinned, experience the consequences of sin so that we could have a character that is good and right just as God is good and right.
Jer onoga koji ne znadijaše grijeha nas radi uèini grijehom, da mi budemo pravda Božija u njemu.
