2 Corinthians 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Meshikha Yeshua through the will of God, and Timothy our brother, to the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints who are in the whole of Achaia:
Pavao, po volji Božjoj apostol Krista Isusa, i brat Timotej: Crkvi Božjoj u Korintu sa svima svetima u svoj Ahaji.
2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Yeshua Meshikha.
Milost vam i mir od Boga, Oca našega, i Gospodina Isusa Krista!
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Yeshua Meshikha, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort;
Blagoslovljen Bog i Otac Gospodina našega Isusa Krista, Otac milosrđa 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.
On nas tješi u svakoj našoj nevolji da bismo i mi sve koji su u nevolji mogli tješiti onom utjehom kojom nas same tješi Bog.
5 For as the sufferings of Meshikha abound to us, even so our comfort also abounds through Meshikha.
Jer kao što su obilate patnje Kristove u nama, tako je po Kristu obilata i utjeha naša.
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.
Bili mi nevoljama pritisnuti za vašu je to utjehu i spasenje; bili utješeni, za vašu je utjehu - djelotvornu: da strpljivo podnesete iste patnje koje i mi podnosimo.
7 Our hope for you is steadfast, knowing that, since you are partakers of the sufferings, so also are you of the comfort.
I tako je stamena nada naša o vama jer znamo: kao što ste zajedničari patnja tako ste i utjehe.
8 For we do not desire to have you uninformed, brothers, concerning our affliction which happened in Asia, that we were weighed down exceedingly, beyond our power, so much that we despaired even of life.
Ne bismo doista htjeli, braćo, da ne znate za nevolju koja nas je snašla u Aziji. Bijasmo prekomjerno, preko snage, opterećeni te smo već strepili i za život.
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,
Ali u sebi prihvatismo i smrtnu osudu da se ne bismo uzdali u same sebe, nego u Boga koji uskrisuje mrtve.
10 who delivered us out of so great a death, and he will deliver us. On him we have set our hope that he will also deliver us again;
On nas je od takve smrti izbavio i izbavit će nas; u njega se uzdamo, on će nas i dalje izbavljati.
11 you also helping together on our behalf by your petition; that, for the gift bestowed on us by means of many, thanks may be given by many persons on our behalf.
A i vi ćete nam pomagati molitvom da bi mnogi za nas zahvaljivali Bogu na milosti koja nam je darovana posredovanjem mnogih.
12 For our boasting is this: the testimony of our conscience, that with pure motives and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God we conducted ourselves in the world, and more abundantly toward you.
A ovo je naša slava: svjedočansto naše savjesti da smo u svijetu živjeli - osobito prema vama - u svetosti i iskrenosti Božjoj, ne u mudrosti tjelesnoj, nego u Božjoj milosti.
13 For we write no other things to you, than what you read or even acknowledge, and I hope you will fully acknowledge;
Ta i ne pišemo vam drugo doli ovo što čitate i razumijete; a nadam se da ćete 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 Yeshua.
kao što nas djelomično i razumjeste: da smo mi vaša slava kao i vi naša u Dan Gospodina našega Isusa.
15 In this confidence, I was determined to come first to you, that you might have a second benefit;
U tom uvjerenju namjeravao sam najprije doći k vama
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 Yehuda.
i preko vas prijeći u Makedoniju pa se opet, da biste imali i drugu milost, iz Makedonije vratiti k vama da me vi otpratite u Judeju.
17 When I therefore was planning this, did I do it lightly? Or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be the "Yes, yes" and the "No, no?"
Pa jesam li možda bio lakomislen kad sam to namjeravao? Ili što namjeravam, po tijelu namjeravam te je u mene istodobno “Da, da!” i “Ne, ne!”?
18 But as God is faithful, our word toward you is not "Yes and no."
Bog je svjedok: naša riječ vama nije “Da!” i “Ne!”
19 For the Son of God, Yeshua Meshikha, who was preached among you by us, by me, Silvanus, and Timothy, was not "Yes and no," but in him is "Yes."
jer Sin Božji, Isus Krist, koga mi - ja i Silvan i Timotej - vama navijestismo nije bio “Da!” i “Ne!” nego u njemu bijaše “Da!”.
20 For however many are the promises of God, in him they are "Yes." Therefore also through him they are "Amen," to the glory of God through us.
Doista, sva obećanja Božja u njemu su “Da!”. I stoga po njemu i naš “Amen!” Bogu na slavu!
21 Now he who establishes us with you in Meshikha, and anointed us, is God;
A Bog je onaj koji nas zajedno s vama utvrđuje za Krista; on nas i pomaza,
22 who also sealed us, and gave us the down payment of the Rukha in our hearts.
on nas i zapečati i u srca naša dade zalog - Duha.
23 But I call God as a witness to my soul, that to spare you I did not come again to Corinth.
A ja prizivljem Boga za svjedoka: duše mi, da vas poštedim, nisam više dolazio u Korint.
24 Not that we rule over your faith, but are fellow workers with you for your joy. For you stand firm in faith.
Ta mi nismo gospodari vaše vjere, nego suradnici vaše radosti. Ta u vjeri ste postojani.
